Just when things look like they might take a turn for the better, an unexpected letter falls in her lap and her world comes crashing down-leading her to make the biggest mistake yet.
Now, Eva's questioning everything she believed about herself and her life.Will Eva let this shattering news and her dark past destroy her chance at happiness? Or will she move past it and finally allow herself to find true love?
"Little Games of Love is an excellent debut of a coming-of-age story from teenage to adulthood. We meet two characters Eva and Leo who are attracted to each other. It's a classic tale of meeting the right person at the wrong time. This novel has everything. Drama, love, angst, family drama and friendship. An excellent novel!" -BEENA HKAN Author of The Name of Red.
"Little Games of Love is a lovely coming-of-age romance filled with misplaced trust, missed opportunities, young love, and redemption. The writer skillfully gives the reader a glimpse into the mind and heart of a young girl who was wounded by abandonment. The emotions are detailed and realistic, and it is easy to form an emotional connection with the main characters." - JENNIFER DEAN Editorial Book reviewer.
"Little Games of Love is a beautiful blend of young love, self-discovery, and a close look at the damaging effects abandonment has on the human psyche. Using a humanistic approach, Paz breaks down the bittersweet coming of age experience, and creates characters and circumstances that feel reminiscent of one's own first brush with love. A tale that will relate to both young and old, Little Games of Love is a must read for anyone who's ever dabbled in the art of romance." - SHY SMITH Editor and Yes Magazine National Winter 2014 Winner.
