review 1: MICHELLE T.'S REVIEW - 4.5 StarsOne of my favorite types of series is one that isn’t about just two central characters throughout but veers off in the sequel to follow peripheral characters from the previous books. If you have read Living Again by L.L. Collins then you know that we were first introduced to the seemingly blissfully unattached, fiercely independent Rachel as one of Kayley’s closest friends but there always seemed to be more to her lurking beneath the surface. Reaching Rachel delves into Rachel’s turbulent and mysterious past. I found that as much as I enjoyed Living Again, there were a few times when I thought the book was a tad slow going or that the story had lost momentum a bit. Reaching Rachel on the other hand was fast paced and action packed f... morerom the start. It really caught and held my attention throughout with a complicated past, a traumatic ordeal, and an uncertain future.The characters in the story were all incredible. Rachel is a wonderful strong, complex woman who is selfless and compassionate. Devin is a kind hearted man who is forgiving and loves with his whole heart. Even Justin fits his role perfectly. The reason I love this type of series is the opportunity we get to keep tabs on and occasionally revisit previous characters. Seeing Kayley again in this book and witnessing Kayley and Rachel’s roles being reversed where Kayley was a strong and significant support system for Rachel this time was touching and extremely gratifying.Reaching Rachel kept me riveted for the majority of the story. The remainder was a beautiful journey of healing, love and reconnection. Even better, this wasn’t just a story of survival, overcoming obstacles and love, it was also about growth, learning, and fulfilling your dreams.
review 2: Reviewer : Angie - Magic Within The PagesRating : 5 StarsHave you ever gone to a movie that EVERYONE is telling you is the best, but when you get there, you can't help but be let down? That's how I thought this might be, but boy, was I wrong. I had heard so many great things about this book that I was a little worried it couldn't live up to the hype. It DID! It's a love story, but it is also a story about abuse and survival that draws you in from the first word.L.L. did a wonderful job of letting me feel what it might be like to enter into an abusive relationship, even as a strong woman, and how hard it could be to get out. I never quite understood it, but now I feel as if I have a much better understanding. Rachel and Devin's love story is one you will laugh, cry, and swoon over. Does it get any sexier than a good guy SWAT member?I highly recommend this book. I haven't read Living Again, but it is now at the top of my TBR. Thank you, L.L., for taking the time to write such amazing characters into a love story I won't soon forget. less
