Description

What would you do for love? For Able Curran, the answer is “anything.”


Meeting Ava Dubose is the best thing to ever happen in Able’s young life, and the worst. Her wild, daring spirit captivates innocent Able, and the two quickly become inseparable. When Ava’s behavior becomes reckless, spurred on by her addictive personality, Able’s love for Ava blinds him, even when she leaves him. But love forever links their lives, whether they live thousands of miles away from each other or just across town. Fate Ball begins as the perfect love story, but soon turns into Able’s tortured quest to save his first love from herself and the dark demons that rule her from within.

Reviewed By Michele Summers, author of the Harmony Homecoming series

"Riveting from the beginning. Cleverly funny and yet, at times painfully moving. Jones has done a remarkable job of capturing a snapshot in time."

From Readers' Favorite, Tracy A Fischer (5/5 stars)

“…a story so searing that a reader’s heart will actually ache… Adam W. Jones has done a simply fantastic job in creating a story line that will captivate his readers from the very first page and will keep them reading obsessively until the very last word. His ability to create characters that his readers will relate to, care about, and continue to think about long after the story is done is simply second to none.”


From Readers' Favorite, Cheryl E. Rodriguez (5/5 stars)

“Fate Ball by Adam W. Jones is an unforgettable romantic tragedy. Mr. Jones elegantly portrays love and calamity, faith and fate, and heartache and despair. How can love be so wonderful and so horrible? Fate Ball, magnifies the eternal truth – love never fails.”


From Readers' Favorite, Maria Beltran (5/5 stars)

“Adam W. Jones’ novel reveals a dysfunctional relationship that may sound familiar to some people as addiction to drugs is becoming more prevalent nowadays. What makes his novel refreshing is that he does not completely condemn Ava, albeit the author treats her addiction like a disease. As such, this novel is also a commentary on one of the serious problems that faces our society today and how it is being dealt with by the people concerned. And if destiny has a hand in shaping our lives, can we do something to guide it in the right direction?”


From Reader's Favorite, Patricia Day (5/5 stars)

“Fate Ball by Adam W. Jones is a mix of the delight and the cozy contentment of love, as well as the anguish of rejection. A touching, tragic story of young love . . . completely irresistible.”

This novel is a torrid love story between an insecure young man, Able and a beautiful true southern belle, Ava who was on a course of self-destruction. This relationship is set over a span of ten years. It's just beautifully written, I was immersed in this "true love" story.

This is Mr. Jones' debut novel and it's well worth the read. The story is simple, yet deeply moving. It's a short novel, that's the only flaw, I wasn't ready to let go of Able and Ava.

I hope to read more from this author.

I would like to thank Wisdom House Books and NetGalley for providing me with this wonderfully e-galley in exchange for my honest review

The book grabbed my attention from the first line: "It was a perfect day for a funeral." After that, I couldn't put it down!
