With Me

review 1: OMG I was so excited to see that Go with me was Daphne and Nick’s story!! I knew from the first book that their story was going to be a knuckle dragging, barb throwing all-out battle of wills, and let me tell you Miss.Patrick delivered. With Nick’s protective, witty and all out hotness and Daphne being a self-proclaimed “Funny girl, whose swearing could make a sailor blush” this book is a riot and a heartbreaker. When these two aren’t trading insults and witty com backs they are burning the pages up with innuendos and out right sexiness.In the first book we learned about the tragic accident that Daph was in that almost cost her her life. She may have lived through the accident and gained a lot of scars that everybody could see daily but it was the scars on her h... moreeart and soul that kept her from really living. That night she lost her first love, her best friend and her friend’s boyfriend, all because someone made the choice to drive drunk. After the accident she decided to start being who she really was but to keep her heart locked up so she would never have to feel that loss again. It was easy enough to keep everyone at bay, all except her family and the extended family that her brother has brought in. Then enter one…..“Nick fucking Brady”Nick has been Daph’s brother’s best friend and roommate for a long time and he has watched, loved and wanted Daphne from afar for just as long but he doesn’t want to wait anymore and is more than willing to make sure she knows that.“Nick leans forward, his voice dipping low. “But don’t forget, Daph, what I said you’ll be with me—“ “when hell freezes over.” His jaw firms with determination.” Hell is about to freeze over, then.”I love Nick he wears his heart on his sleeve when it comes to Daphne. Even though she is dragging her feet and being as stubborn as a two year old in a grocery store about the way he feels for her and the way he knows she feels for him. “Maybe I’m just not interested in you.”“And maybe the pope isn’t Catholic.”The way these two go at it had me laughing out loud one chapter and fearing my kindle would combust in the next! I tell you nick knows how to wow a lady and made her feel like she is the only one in the world that can keep him alive. I loved the fact that he never questioned his feelings or interest in Daph, even when she was telling him otherwise. The author did a great job with the struggle of Daphne letting go and moving on, at no point was I so frustrated with her inner turmoil that I wanted to quit reading and that is a big feet in my opinion because I have had other books that I literally had to put down in fear of throwing my kindle across the room because I was so annoyed with the “should I’s and the shouldn’t I’s”. “And every time you walk into a room, I can’t breathe. Every time you smile, I can’t think. Every time you look at me, I can’t function—and yeah, that even happens when you’re glaring at me.”This book was also rounded out nicely with the other characters that I have grown to love. Jamie the smart ass, Casanova. Griff the silent and broody. And of course the couple that started the series Caleb and Hailey. We get to catch up with them all and even learn a little more about my favorite smart ass, whose story I’m so excited to read in the next instalment.So in closing because I could go on for ever about this book and every single character……This is a must read and I Miss.Elyssa Patrick has a fan in me for life Now I just wanna leave you all with my favorite line in this book that I have actually started using in my everyday life…..“Keep calm and kiss on.”
review 2: ***spoiler alert***This is a very enjoyable stand alone book in a series of stand alone books. I like that. There is a central cast of characters, and each book seems to focus on a different pair. So in each new story you get to revisit old friends, but from a new person’s perspective. It’s fun.However......Elyssa Patrick, you are killing me with continuity issues.I liked this book so much that after finishing it I immediately picked up the first in the series, Stay With Me. And promptly learned that this second book, Go With Me, starts on a lie. Ms. Patrick, how can you do that? HOW???How can you start this book with the premise that Daphne hates Nick, or at least that she says she hates him, and won’t even admit to herself that she thinks he is hot, when in the last book she outright stated that she liked him but wanted him to work for it? The whole backstory in this book about Daphne and Nick involved them constantly bickering and her thinking they hated each other. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!Then, there are the gloves. Nick gives Daphne a pair of fingerless gloves for Valentine’s Day - a gift with great meaning, chosen with great consideration. Nevermind that in the previous book that takes place only a few months earlier she was wearing fingerless gloves. Did she lose the gloves she had? If so, no mention of that was made when she received the new gloves from Nick. Instead, it seemed like she never had fingerless gloves, and Nick getting them for her was like The Most Considerate and Thoughtful Gift Ever. Lastly, there is the issue of The Accident. A horrific crash which occurred over a year before Go With Me begins, and in which everyone but Daphne died. Of course Daphne is dealing with some demons from the accident - survivor’s guilt, being smothered by concern from her brother and all of his friends, that kind of thing. The only demon she doesn’t seem to have developed after being the sole survivor of a fatal car accident is Drivers Anxiety. That’s right, Daphne was driving when her car was struck by a drunk driver, and her boyfriend, best friend, and best friend’s boyfriend were all killed. And although she doesn’t drive but once in the entire three months covered by this book, that one time (in which she is rushing a family member to the hospital), she steps up to the plate to drive when others are too frazzled and anxious to drive. That seems likely, right? Her whole existence is fraught with accident-related issues and anxiety, but the whole driving under pressure thing? Not a problem.I cannot express how much these gaffes in the storyline bother me.The story itself was pretty good. Daphne is cool, although her mental dialogue is a bit much. She is so casual about some things - like her lack of sexual experience and the fact that she came close to dying in that accident - yet gets overwrought about other things that I consider less important. The “big secret” that she keeps from Nick, that she is sure he will hate her for if he ever finds out falls into the “mountains out of molehills” category. However, Nick is super hot and so enamored with her, and she is generally lots of fun, so I can overlook her immature psychoses for the most part. The continuity issues? Not forgivable.I want to read the rest of this series. I really do. Daphne, her brother, and their friends are so entertaining and fun that I am curious to read how everyone else’s love story plays out. I am more than a little wary, though, of what I will find in the next stories. Will there continue to be major deviation from book to book? Will the author continue to show a cavalier indifference for what she has already written? There are at least four other characters whose stories are presumably waiting to be written. Ms. Patrick, please, please, PLEASE keep the stories true. less
