SARAH'S 5-STAR REVIEW


Things are going really well for Brady and Tori. They're happy and looking forward to the birth of their daughter. It seems that there is nothing that could ever take away the, much deserved, joy in their lives. Tragedy befalls them however and they both start checking out of the relationship. After a huge surprise from Brady's past is revealed, Tori decides to move to Minnesota with her parents. As she finally starts to pick up the pieces of her life, she realizes that Brady is doing the same thing. As much as it hurts, she is just happy that he has everything that he wants. Eventually she realizes that things aren't always what they appear to be, and all that she can hope is that one reckless decision doesn't completely ruin her own happiness.
'How could I have been so blind? For months I felt like my life wasn't worth living, when the person I needed to fulfill me was right in front of me, waiting for me to reach out to him'
This book was completely devastating. In the best way possible. The things that the characters go through were more than life altering. They were experiences that reach into your soul and rip it to pieces. After everything that had happened in Irreparably Broken I had thought that the worst was behind them. I was completely mistaken. The events in that book were just a small taste of the worst experiences that a person can have. Through everything they are able to continue to persevere and grow stronger for all of it.
"Tori, I won't live without you again." He's breathless, panting against my mouth. "Promise me you'll never leave me again"
There were times in this book that I had not only a emotional response to the events unfolding but a physical one. One scene, in particular, made me sick to my stomach. There are not many books that can make me feel that kind of hurt. It was AMAZING! As a parent I am not sure how Tori and Brady were able to continue doing anything after the things that happened to them. I'm not saying that I was happy with the decisions that either of them made throughout the majority of the book, but I was impressed with their ability to carry on.
"No one else fucks you." He tugs my hair gently, moving my head to the side to expose my neck. "Because you're mine." He gently bites my neck."Oh, God.  Yes!"  I cry out, ready to burst.  It's too intense.  I taste tears in my mouth.With another gentle pull of my hair, my head turns toward him.  "Say it!"With our mouths nearly touching, I whisper, "I'm yours."
While this book was Brady and Tori's story and my heart completely shattered for them, in the end all I could think about was Tug. He was just so NOT the Tug we met in Irreparably Broken. After witnessing his mothers suicide and his unrequited love for Tori he is a mere shell of the person that he was. He is so self-destructive and in so much pain it was palpable. I could almost feel the pain pouring out of the pages. I can not wait for his story, Irrevocable Trust.
'Our family is the epitome of dysfunctional   Despite that, I'm thrilled they've made up.  I love the two of them differently, but equally.  Coming between them was taking a toll on me.'

AUTHOR BIO


I’m a mother of three. When I’m not writing, I’m usually carting around my three children to their various activities. Actually, only two have activities, the three year old is forced to tag along. In the summer months, I spend more hours on baseball and soccer fields than I do in my own home.

For some mindboggling reason, I live in Massachusetts. I dislike the snow, the humidity and the bugs. So basically, this is the last place on earth I should live. Fall is beautiful here and almost makes me forget, almost.

I love music and reading and I’m equally addicted to both.

Meeting new people rocks, so friend request me.
