review 1: *I was given a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.*Everyone wants that kind of love, that is patient and never gives up... this is that kind of love. No matter how bad things had been for Allie, no matter how damaged she thought she was, Blake never gave up, and he wanted to show her that. When you read this, and I highly suggest that you do, you read it knowing that you will want to keep reading even after the book has ended. It's so very heartfelt and fantastically woven, excellent reading!!~Dowie
review 2: Favorite Quotes:“I’m just a little miffed that he thinks the whole damn thing is funny. Perhaps if he walked in and overheard someone questioning the size of his penis, or something like that, then he wouldn’t be finding it funny... more and rising above it. No, he’d be going all caveman and whipping out the tape measure.”“My mouth is so dry that if a droplet of water hit my tongue, it would sizzle like an egg hitting a heated frying pan.”My ReviewWhile I didn’t always like her main character, I truly enjoyed Ms. Bailes’ writing. She brings humor and snark to the inner musings of Allie Anderson, who is also a very immature and selfish idiot. But then again, if we were to listen to the honest inner musings of most people, the vast majority of us would also seem like very immature and selfish idiots. The story begins rather slow and somewhat tedious, she’s sad - we get it already… but push past that and you are in for an entertaining, bumpy, and deliciously steamy ride. After the painful beginning, the story vastly improves when her friends are introduced. I decided I would definitely keep reading once I met Blake – yum, my new BBF (Book Boy Friend). Ms. Bailes’ informal writing style, and creative and interesting word choices, frequently brought a smile to my face, although her character’s egocentric and childish behavior also had me grimacing. While we have all been young and stupid more than once, grief seems to have stalled Allie Anderson’s emotional development at the selfish and angst filled adolescent level, which I personally find to be quite tiresome. But the worst of all possible endings – a dramatic cliffhanger!?! I wish someone had warned me – I loath those as much as I do bratty children on a long flight. But… grr, that evil woman has her hooks in me…I need to know what happens next. less
