If
you loved Bad Things by R.K. Lilley,
Collide by Gail McHugh, and Beauty From Pain by Georgia Cates
Basic Summary: Alayna Withers
has only had one kind of relationship: the kind that makes her obsessive and
stalker-crazy. Now that Hudson Pierce
has let her into his heart, she’s determined to break down the remaining walls
between them so they can build a foundation that’s based on more than just
amazing sex. Except Hudson’s not the
only one with secrets.
With
their pasts pulling them into a web of unfounded mistrust. Alayna turns to the one person who knows
Hudson best—Celia, the woman he almost married.
Hoping for insight from someone who understand all sides of the story,
Alayna forms a bond with Celia that goes too far—revealing things about Hudson
that could end their love for good.
This
is the first relationship where Alayna hasn’t spiraled out of control. And she might lose Hudson anyway…
What I Love About This
Book: The book picks
up almost right where the first book left, and opens with a very sexy and hot
scene that immediately sucks you right in.
There are a lot of players in this book, and it’s hard to know Alayna
can trust and who she can’t and for me that’s what hooks me to a story.
There
were a couple bombs at the end of this book, and even a couple laugh out loud
moments. I love that Laurelin uses
amazeballs, because I use that term all the time even though I know I sound
ridiculous. Alayna becomes even more
lovable in this book, and I craved every moment Alayna and Hudson were together. The sex scenes were amazing, and it’s hard
for me to choose which ones were my favorites.
Definitely loved the one that end, very very hot!!!
This
was definitely a roller coaster book, with a lot highs and a lot of lows. My heart was breaking for Alayna at a certain
point, and that is always good sign for me because it shows me just how into a
book I am if I’m as devastated as the character. There were a couple surprises that I guessed
in book one, but for the unsuspecting reader they are pretty big. I don’t like to give spoilers for endings,
but I’m glad her brother turned out to not be a total asshole at the end.
Cons: I feel like
because this is the second book in this series, and that I’m swept up more with
the love story that the lack of details doesn’t bother me as much. But the lack of details kind of still exists.
For example when describing Hudson’s apartment, there was more detail there
than in the last book but still I could have used more. I know that most of the apartment was very open
and there was floor to ceiling windows, but that’s kind of it, I don’t really
know the décor of the place what his furniture looks like in most of the
rooms. The only room I could really
picture in my head perfectly was his library other than that; it was just left
up to the reader to assume. Like I’ve
said before, for me those details are important for the character development
so I get annoyed when they are skimmed over.
Overall: Great continuation of story. There were a couple laugh out loud moments
for me, and I appreciated the 50 shades reference. I wasn’t completely shocked about how the whole
plot played out, I guessed right from the beginning where the plot was going
with Celia and Alayna. Even the big bomb
at the end I guessed last book, I don’t know why I knew, I think I’ve read too
many Dan Brown books. But like I said
great story, Alayna and Hudson are awesome characters, very compelling and very
attachable kind of people. I don’t know
if I hold up to the same regard as Christian and Ana because they hold a
special place in my heart for starting this all. The sex scenes are awesome, there are lots of
them to choose from as to which one is your favorite. Definitely loved the ending, and can’t wait
for Forever With You(Publication is Jan. 2014) !!!! If you go to
Laurelin Paige’s Goodreads page there is a Forever With You teaser.
