Love's Illusions

“Simultaneously engaging, heart wrenching and all consuming!”

Jackie Moretti always believed in fairy tale endings. But what happens when the fairy tale ends and real life begins? Coming of age in the early 1970s… she’s caught between the world of Ozzie and Harriet and the Age of Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll. When her world abruptly cracks in two, Jackie is forced to deal with the consequences of soul-shattering deception if she’s ever to find love again.

Sexy, motorcycle riding mechanic, Michael Nowak recognizes Jackie’s vulnerability from their first encounter grabbing her attention and not letting go. The small-time drug dealer provides both intoxicating sex and drugs to distract her from her crumbling life. As their feelings grow from lust to love, Michael gets roped into a larger scale criminal operation than he ever thought possible.

Can they save each other and overcome the struggles of the heart or will their world consume them?

Love’s Illusions is the first installment in a series of women’s modern historical fiction novels. If you love compelling, realistic characters and an immersive plot, then you’ll love Jolene Cazzola’s debut novel.

“Some authors seem to write by rote others get it. Jolene Cazzola is the latter. It isn't enough to write a heart wrenching novel about love and loss, she draws you into her story and makes you feel it alongside her characters. Beautifully written with a plot that keeps you hooked Love's Illusion has made my top ten favourite reads for the year which is especially noteworthy considering this is a debut novel.”
