review 1: We came across this author and the series thanks to Inkslinger PR, so first things first we thank you Inkslinger PR for this and allowing us a copy of the trilogy to read in exchange for an honest review.Holy Shit! That about sums this one up. In a good way. But my opinion of Jack Henry went up and down a few times. (laughs) He may have been called a twat a few times and then he kinda got on the right track before he messed up.. but then again, he didn’t mess up. Well not really.So, we all know Laurelyn left Australia without Jack knowing anything about her. Personal wise. Like her damn name. So after a week he was drunk, lonely, heartbroken and willing to do anything to try and get her off of his mind. That includes picking up some tramp in a hotel. And I know y’alls ... morereaction matched mine. I was pissed. I get entirely too into what I am reading. If this had been in paperback it would have gone sailing across my apartment but since I love my Kindle I just grumbled a bit. But the ass redeems himself somewhat when he isn’t able to do it. The chicks all but impaled her nasty snatch down on him when he shoves her away. He calls his brother Evan at an ungodly hour to come and get him to take him home. He needs to talk to him about what;s going on. Tell his dirty little secrets. With his brothers help he decides to hunt for Laurelyn. He calls his PI and sends him to the States.The separation from Jack is eating away at Laurelyn. She has spent the last two weeks in bed, crying and not eating. The whole time thinking Jack doesn't love her, isn’t looking for her. She thinks she is now alone. Laurelyn makes time to see her agent, and go to the studio to talk to the suits about her contract. Well Blake is there, of course, and the asswipe doesn't play fair. Though I’d expect nothing more from him. He follows Laurelyn out to her car and grabs her. Telling her unless she comes back to him her career is over. Well she fights back and kicks him nuts into his gut, where they belong. (laughs) So her career is over. But what could she do? She didn't love him.And she is better than that. When Addison comes back from her parents she tells Laurelyn that she is going back to Wagga Wagga to be with Zac. But before she goes she has already been set up for an audition but want’s Laurelyn to go in her place. Since the whole Blake thing this is her chance to get her career off the ground. Well after a little back and forth she joins the band Southern Ophelia.It’s 3 very long months before Jack is able to track Laurelyn down. She is singing with her band and at the end of the night he tries to get into see her. When he walks back he sees her band mate kiss her. So he leaves her Martin guitar with another band mate and leaves, thinking she has moved on from him. When the band mate delivers the guitar and a rose she knows who its from and literally chases him down. In the pouring rain she kneels in the road, watching his cab take off. Her heart breaking all over again. But he stops and comes back for her. (le sigh) So like a romance movie. They reconnect that night. And things progress quickly. Then the unthinkable happens. Blake shows up at a show they are doing and he along with the bands current manager talk about getting the band into the studio to record a new song. Well Laurelyn isn’t having it. She wants nothing to do with Blake. She goes back to her room to wait on Jack to come up when she is grabbed and pushed into the room. She screams and he backhands her. Then Blake confesses his love and that he has asked for a divorce. Laurelyn tells him she loves someone else and he goes nuts and attacks her. Asswipe tries to rape her but thankfully Jack comes in at the right time and beats his ass. Then they call the cops. The bands given the rest of the week off since Laurelyn looks like she’s been three rounds with Tyson. Jack helps her to forget him. He takes her to Vegas, yeah he tries to pop the question but is shitfaced and she thinks he’s just fooling around. Another failed attempt is made to pop the question and Laurelyn thinks its never gonna happen. Finally it does in a halfass attempt but the love is there. He waits until he is minutes from boarding a flight back to Australia to put a ring on her finger. And tells her to not answer him now. When she is ready and comes to him after she has lived out her dreams he will ask her properly. Well she of course gets mad at him for that but it doesn’t take her long to know she wants to marry him. She talks to her band mate and agrees to run out the rest of the upcoming tour. 3 months. She will keep him waiting until then before she shows up and makes him propose and agree to marry him. And that is what she does. SHe packs her stuff, moves to Australia and surprises him. When Jack comes home one day from the vineyard she is waiting for him, laying on the bed. The fun then begins. He takes her to his parents a few days later and the wedding plans begin. With only a few weeks ago something from the past comes back to bite them in the ass. The skank Jack tried to pick up after Laurelyn left corners Laurelyn in the bathroom of a restaurant and tells her what he did to her at the hotel’ of course leaving out the important stuff. Well Laurelyn hits the roof. I didn’t know she could be that pissed. She thinks Jack lied to her but he didn’t. With the help of Addison she re evaluates the situation and a few days later goes back to Avalon to Jack. Time passes, plans are made and it’s wedding day. The day they have all been waiting on for so many weeks now is here and with the ‘I Do” they become Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jack McLachlan. They fly to Hawaii and well lets just say the honeymoon starts a little early. Not called the mile high club for nothing. (snickers)
review 2: I really wanted to love this book but I didn't... 3.5 Stars This book dragged on way to much and it was a tad boring at times.The first book of the series was amazing and I expected so much more from this book.There was no real story line other than getting Laurelyn back to Australia and also no climax! The book and just fell flat in my opinion.The only reason I want to read the third is to know how their story finishes less
