    About this audiobook

    It's not every day that you get to move to New York City and reinvent yourself. I was tired of being boring, predictable Emma Mills. I was convinced that my life would be totally different in the Big Apple.

    And I was right.

    Jackson Reynard was irresistible and I had no plans on resisting him. Jackson was the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome and I was more than happy to let him sweep me off my feet. I expected a summer fling but instead I got a heart-stopping romance. I realized that I had met the love of my life. I just didn't realize that sometimes love isn't enough.

    It's hard enough getting over an ex. It's even harder when he becomes Hollywood's next biggest heartthrob and his face is plastered on every magazine cover. But the hardest part? The hardest part is when he thrusts himself back into my life and won't let go of the past.

    I survived losing the man I loved the first time. I don't think I'll survive it again.

      2.5 stars. This book would have been so much better had it been 150-200 pages shorter. OMG I have never wanted to smack someone more than Emma (except maybe Ana from 50 Shades). Why did it take her so long to bring up Claire?! I get that she was supposed to be your friend, and you were upset, and you wanted to move on from the past and forget, but when you keep fighting about it, just FREAKING ASK ALREADY! God it was so frustrating, I wanted to put the book down and not finish, but I had to know if they ended up together. And then it ended kind of abruptly and went on to previews for a couple of other books. What the hell?!
    • 4/5
      This started as a 4star, but by the end, I'm very inclined to give it 3-stars.

      At first I loved the book (well except for the initial depressing set up). I liked the flow, the writing, the characters, and the story.

      The thing I was most impressed with was that this author has an amazing ability to get you to FEEL the newness and giddiness of new love. She conveyed, like no other book I've read so far, how they were so into each other, and what they were experiencing physically/emotionally. You really felt the passion and intensity and the connection.


      But then I noticed that the book was written in summary mode, almost everything is told in hindsight, broken up by 'current' chunks of time, and I hate that.

      At first I loved the heroine, I even read some reviews that were bitching about her, and I was all like, "why? what the hell is wrong with her? She's intelligent, slightly fucked up, honest, forthright, and goes with the flow unless the flow goes against her). What's not to like?" But then, after the shit hits the fan, then I started seeing what the upset could be about her.
      >>>>>>>>>>>> spoiler <<<<<<<<<<<<<
      When they get back together after the break up, she keeps pushing down the Claire issue. I found that to be really upsetting. I really hated how she kept shoving it aside. It made me want to bitch smack her. Fucking TALK ABOUT IT!! for fuck sake!!! And her being bothered by spending his money on a dress, oh give it fucking up!! He's invited you to an evening out, let him buy the fucking dress! Enough with the "I don't want you to think I'm after your money" shit!!!
      >>>>>>>>>>>> end spoiler <<<<<<<<<<<<<

      The thing that actually bothered me the most about this book was how the author wrote the Sean issue...

      >>>>>>>>>>>> spoiler <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
      Ok, I get that she left him, and he should figure out how to live without her. They are both adults and he needs to move on, yadayada.

      But!!!

      We're talking about two people who have been BEST friends since 15 years old! They've been together in one capacity or another for 10 years!!!

      As friends, why is it asking too much for her to spend time with him in his time of need? Why is it not ok that she goes down there and visits him and tries to help him get past the heartache of losing her and moving on? Friends are there for each other. He's been there for her for all her shit, and yet she shouldn't be there for him? And yes, I get that it's uncomfortable because he's tried to kill himself OVER HER, but still, they are friends more than anything, and she SHOULD be there for him.

      And the fact that the hero wasn't ok with that really bothered me. The fact that he was so selfish as to want her there so he could feel happy, while this other friend of hers is in the hospital after a severely botched suicide attempt, just really pissed me off. It was the only time I hated that character.



      Also, I felt the book kinda ended suddenly. They just make up and BAM book over! Half the book was of their suffering, and we don't even get a full breath of fresh air before the tale is over.

      >>>>>>>>>>>> end spoiler <<<<<<<<<<<<<

      So, there were some issues that I had with the book, I didn't like the summation quality to the book, and I didn't like a few character flaw moments. But aside from that, I did like the book. It was an interesting story.

      Angst, true love and more angst!

      I didn't know if I was getting sick or if it was the book but I had to take Pepto because my stomach was a mess and actually it didn't stop hurting until I was at the end of the book so beware it's an intense roller coaster of a book! There seems to be a lot going on with Emma's guilt for her past and the Love of her future but she needed to settle her demons I could totally see where she was coming from during time but it was so heart wrenching. Oh and then to go thru the second half of the book with this unresolved event it was enough to drive me crazy and my stomach crazy too. All I wanted was for Jackson and Emma to figure it out and stay together but every time I thought finally NOPE!!
      You will have to read it to find out if they ever do get their HEA.
      Fabulous Ending. Lots of Hot Steamy Sex!!!

      Quotes:

      "I know it sounds crazy but the though of you engaged to someone else....
      it doesn't make me feel good."

      "There's nothing wrong with being sensible but dreams are what make you fly. And you're destined to touch the sky."

      "You and me, Emma. It's you and me against the world. There'll never be anyone else for me."

      "Emma Mills, I love you. You're my heart and my life, and I can't image breathing one breath without you by my side."

      This book was going to be a 2 for me up until the ending. The ending was complete and utter shit. it basically skipped around in the future, and ended with them on a plane to LA eating food and talking. Emma got drunk and passed out, and when she woke up, she had an engagement ring on her finger. Then they decided to move to Bora Bora. I know that it seems weird and disjointed, but that's seriously what happened. It's like Ms Kolee just went "Fuck it, I'm done with this!" and threw a bunch of random crap together that really made no sense. The ending just ruined everything.
