“Unlike a good proportion of ‘romance’ novels, which are carbon copy old school schlock, ‘Paralysed’ is a page turner from start to finish! The author, Tracey Roberts, has thoughtfully presented each character in such a manner that not only are they believable, but relatable!
There was so many instances where one is constantly laughing out loud or smiling but definitely thinking, oh my goodness, I know exactly who that reminds me of. Not just the characters, but situations that occur to our heroine, Vanessa, her interactions and reactions are relayed in a manner that enable you to be so immersed, HAVING to turn that page or read ‘just one more chapter!’
One travels the journey with Vanessa, and due to the descriptive writing, one can conjure up a distinct visual of each and every destination. However, we’re not left hanging with just visuals; as again with such superb descriptive depictions of each restaurant, or meal prepared, the reader can all but taste what’s being served and savour the wine accompanied!
Vanessa’s journey is not JUST a fantastical romance read, as she like so many unfortunate woman, has suffered unimaginable trauma - physically, emotionally and spiritually. It’s her bravery and determination, that she enabled herself to allow herself to be vulnerable to love again. Although this is not a straight path, there’s enough twists and turns and ‘Ah ha’ moments that make this read compelling, whilst still keeping it accessible and familiar.
I thoroughly loved being along for Vanessa’s tumultuous adventure; finding ‘Paralysed’ an easy read; in that I couldn’t put it down from start to finish.”

“Paralysed is a gripping love story which constantly twists and turns as you venture ever deeper into Vanessa’s journey. Rich in characters and storytelling, Tracey’s has a unique and natural gift in conveying Vanessa’s extraordinary tale, including experiencing all the range of emotions Vanessa has with each and every character, especially with her lover William. The sumptuous visuals painted of the world they inhabit further immerses you into this story, and one can’t but help feel you are there riding along on her journey with her.
This is an intriguing and often steamy romance novel, bordering on taboo. Once you start, you’ll want to read the next chapter to see what happens next, right up until the absorbing climax which doesn’t disappoint. If you’re a fan of this genre, and fancy a good read from a new author, then don’t hesitate in getting this book.”
