An Emotional Roller Coaster Ride!
939048
I was hooked by page seven! I stayed up half the night reading, because I just couldn't see a way for Portia and Beau to resolve all their conflicts, to overcome all the obstacles keeping them apart. I sobbed aloud at some scenes, and gripped my iPad with tension during others. The book was obviously well-researched, beautifully written, and was so fast-paced I read it straight through! More than a romance, this book is an inspiring reminder of those who lived through Reconstruction, facing nearly unbearable challenges at every turn. A must-read for anyone who's feeling frustrated by life - a reminder that love and faith can conquer all!

I loved every moment of the emotional roller coaster that this book took me on. I am not an overly emotional person and this book had me needing tissues more than once! It was fantastic!

A rollercoaster ride! Very emotional from nearly the first word. In this second Dead Things story, we're along for the journey as told through Ember, Tristin, Kai and Mace. We begin pretty much where book one left off.
We are introduced to some new characters, and say goodbye to others. There's also a great twist I didn't see coming at all, and I usually figure things out pretty early on.
Really liked the beginning with the cast of characters, what/who they are in relation to one another. Could not give full stars, just too many errors that should've been caught in editing.

Pet Peeve: When Ember goes into the tattoo shop, and refers to a tattoo machine as a "tattoo gun". In the tattoo community that term is not used, at least the artists and other tattooed people I know don't.

This is my first book by Bella Frances and I LOVED it! Rocco is a hero to die for, filled with emotional scars he needs to overcome in order to let himself love and be loved. Frankie is a heroine with her own emotional baggage who has what it takes to stand up to Rocco when she has to and give him love even when he doesn't know it's exactly what he needs. An emotional roller coaster ride you don't want to get off of! Looking forward to reading more from Bella Frances!

Torn From You(Tear Asunder) by Nashoda Rose will take you on emotional roller coaster ride.  Trust,  passion and hope will be tested.  Fear will replace everything Emily believes. Sculpt will became her fear and her lifeline.

The relationship between Emily and Sculpt(Logan) takes a scary and heart breaking turn in this book. Forced into a world of slavery, Emily is forced to be and do things just so she can survive both physical and emotionally.
Logan (Sculpt) pushes his emotions away so that he can get Emily out alive. I went from liking him, to hating, to feeling sad and hoping everything worked out.
This is an incredible journey of love, trust rebuilt, and how hope can survive even in hell.
I loved every emotion that was pulled out of me when I read the amazing book.

Great read. It is a rollercoaster full of emotions.  It left me with a twisted up stomach, stabby feelings in my heart, and a lump in my throat (might be my heart).  All the angst is here, heartwarming and heartbreaking.  What is going on with Jax and Lily?  I was kind of bummed that the only reason she changes her mind toward the end was when she sees what is going on with Trenton...why did it take that?  Life happens I guess and even though I'm not sure where the story will go from here, it has me hooked.

Get this book and read it!! This book takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride! This is not an easy, light hearted read. There is emotions a-plenty to keep you emerged in this story of Madeline and Alex! Kudos to Keira Montclair!

Such an emotional book! Lilly and Harry disliked each other from the beginning, but neither could deny the sparks between them. Their second meeting was by chance, and with it came revelations and truths that may or may not be ready to be told or heard. Together they form a bond, but both are afraid it won't last. Can Lilly release unnecessary guilt from her past, and finally be honest with the people that matter to her, or will it not be enough, causing her to guard her heart? I loved Lilly's story, and kept rooting her and Harry to find the happiness and love they both deserved.

Undo Me, the 3rd book in the Good Ol' Boys series, is an emotional roller coaster of hate, passion, excruciating pain, laughter, sadness, loneliness,  A.H. ( a word I can't use), and overwhelming love and forgiveness.

I have been wanting Dylan and Aubrey's story since seeing a peek into their relationship in the first two books in the series, Complicate Me and Forbid Me. This can be read as a stand alone, but to fully get the true nature of friendship/brotherhood these characters have, you must read the first two! Plus they are also great!

It is hard to write a review and not  include spoilers, so here are a few of my thoughts.

Promise.... Always.. (love this) It could takes on so many emotions through-out the book.

There were so many parts in this book where I just wanted to hug the characters and say "it is going to be alright" or slap them for being idiots.

I love Dylan and Aubrey together! I hated why they broke up. I loath why they were kept apart.

Aubrey had a way of calling out Dylan on his "but whole" (again trying to appease the Man behind the desk) tendencies. Over all I don't think he was a jerk. I think a lot of his "Male Rooster" tendencies, and straightforward speaking and actions caused people to have a misconception about the real Dylan. We were able to see the loving and caring side when he was one of one with characters like Alex and Aubrey. He truly loves fierce!

We got to see the uncertainty in Aubrey and the self-degradation that she places on herself. The way she tries to punish herself for some actions she had no control over.

There were some rough parts in the book that were hard to get through, because of the overwhelming emotional beat downs. A good cry and lots of tissues helped me through those points. So many twists and facts come out in the book that  had me re reading certain sections to make sure I hadn't just imagined something.

By the end of the book, I was emotionally worn out and couldn't pick up another book. Author M Robinson took me on a ride I will not soon forget.

Wow! I am not sure where to start. This book has me an emotional mess! It put me through every emotion possible. I laughed, I cried, I was angry and at one point I was so shocked I gasped and had to my Kindle down and collect myself. Only a good book can that!
This story took some twist and turns that I didn't see coming. The story touched on so many real life issues without losing focus the beautiful love story. A love story that started "From a Distance"
Tyler and Karrie were an unlikely pair, considering she couldn't stand him and he was her husbands best friend. Then a horrible accident changes everything. Her whole life not only changed in an instant but she soon realized her "perfect" marriage had all been a lie. A past of lies and pain then present day misunderstandings had me wondering if they were going to make it. Just when happiness for them was within reach tragedy struck and I was heartbroken this was the shocking moment I just couldn't believe was happening. Life is so unfair! So many sad tears but I was left smiling with a heartwarming ending.
This was the first I have read by this author but I will most definitely be looking for more!

Oh this book!

Based on their appearances in Corrupt, I knew that Declan and Tate had a long and complicated past, but wow, I wasn't quite prepared for exactly how heart wrenching it would be to experience their story!

I really enjoyed the fact that the author delved into their past in great detail in order to give us the full story.

Because of that, it was easy for me to become emotionally invested into every single feeling they experienced as friends, lovers, and enemies.

At a particular turning point in this book where their relationship was inevitably going to change, I felt a pool of dread sitting in my belly because I KNEW what was coming but OH MY GOD knowing didn't make it hurt any less!

Im not really one to read a book that involves the reason for their break up, but Jessica Prince wrote it in a way that instead of becoming angry and unable to finish, I was heartbroken yes, but also intrigued and hopeful that somehow someway she would spin it so all would be well again.

Ill be honest, during certain times I didn't think Id be able to get past it, I wanted to junk punch Declan and then run him over with my car while screaming HOW COULD YOU?! but eventually, and much to my surprise I found myself rooting for him to win Tate back.

After a time and what I thought was proper groveling I was convinced Declan learned from his mistakes and changed, and I truly believed he and Tate were meant to be.

I also whole heartedly believed he never meant to hurt her.

This book was an emotional experience. It left me exhausted and content in the very best way!

I know for some of you the content involved may be a hard limit, I would be lying if I said it wasn't usually one of mine as well, but I urge you to give this book a chance anyway.

Trust this author to make it bearable.

Its very well written and it honestly goes with the story. Yes this book is an emotional roller coaster, but its so worth it and definitely not something you want to miss!

This book is not at all how I thought it would go. This is far from you typical romance books, it is way better! This book challenges you emotionally and pulls you to the bottom of the emotional pit where these characters are currently living. There were points in this book I was crying over the characters and what happen to them, I was also just mesmerized by the sheer strength these characters showed! What a book! It was so good and if you are ready for an emotional roller coaster then this is a must read!!

This book is a roller coaster of emotions. Through all those emotions I am always amazed at the story that Aly creates and the ride she takes us on. She crafts a beautiful story that leaves you breathless and demanding more, more, more!! Bring on Book 2!

I took awhile to write this reveiw after reading the book. At first, I wasn't sure how I would rate it because it really is an emotional roller coaster ride! At first, my emotions were all over the place....I was mad and wanted to beat up Trent, yell at Gabe and smack Maddy. I also wanted to tell Maddy's mother off and scold Mrs. Basso too. Then, I sighed and wanted to hug Maddy, Gabe and yes, even Trent. LOL!

This is a really well written story with great characters, story line and romance. Maddy and Trent grow up together and are best friends and fall in love as they get older. Everyone in their small town thinks of them as being together...even when they are not! And, they are "not" together many times in the story as this spans a 25 year period but they always get back together. The writer goes back and forth bewteen time frames and while it didn't annoy me like other reviews have stated, I do think if the time frames could have been longer, it would have made the book easier to read and digest. As you read the story, you will see that there is lots more to Maddy's past that you need to understand but it doesn't come out until very late in the book. Meet Gabe, Trent's older brother who has always looked out for Maddy whenever Trent was not around and had feelings for her but would never act on them because of his brother. Well, that all changes one time on Spring break!

A good love triangle always makes a great story and this is no exception. I was a little nervous about it being between brothers but I have to say that it didn't bother me at all. A few other reviews posted about how annoyed they were with Maddy not being able to make up her mind and also Trent's behavior and I can see where they are coming from but to me, there actions felt authentic. I could understand how they just couldn't/didn't want to let each other go because of their history. And, Gabe's actions as well....what a tough situation he is in...not wanting to betray his brother but also knowing how Trent had let Maddy down time and time again. Angst!
You do get a happy ending and it's a good one!!!

I will definitely look into more by Michelle Lynn.

***5 Definitely a Trigger Stars***

This book sent me on an emotional roller coaster ride, but not in the way I expected, or at least not fully. I got a well rounded story of not only two young people falling in love, making decisions that tore them apart and then slowly, sometimes frustratingly so, coming back together and finding that the love they felt as teenagers was timeless, but also of a group of people who became a family by choice and whose bonds only grow stronger as time progresses.

Damian has fended for himself since he was a young child as he had to bear the brunt of a cruel, twisted and obsessive mind, which caused him to keep to himself even as the anger from the unjust treatment grew steadily inside him. But one kind gesture changes his entire world. God, my heart hurt for Damian to see what he went through, and how he survived, was brutal, but through strength of will and a little help from outside sources he didn't fall into the darkness. Instead he came out of it with a heart so big that he doesnt always know what to do with it. I loved his over protective smexy tall dark silent and broody alpha ways, though there were many times I wanted to Gibbs smack the man for not speaking up when he needed to.

Thea has always been surrounded by a loving and caring family. She tends to follow her gut and heart over her mind and has a way of getting under a persons skin and into their hearts without either of them realizing it.  I loved Thea. Shes quirky and has a heart of gold. I loved her quirk, verbal vomiting because there was actually a point to it. She is a tough little cookie and had no problem speaking her mind when necessary.

Damian and Theas relationship brought out all the feels because we got to experience everything as they happened from start to finish and it made it so easy to continue to root for them to get over themselves and have their HEA, and believe me both of them put me through the ringer where I had to fight the urge to toss my Kindle in the freezer a few times. But what was clear was their hearts were still connected, but their minds needed to catch up. Thankfully, they figure it and prove why they are perfect together. Theas outgoing nature balanced out Damians much more reserved one, but they were perfectly matched when it came to wanting to protect and take care those they call their own.

The writing, as always, was engaging and the story was well paced. The mystery/suspense storyline was a bit of a surprise, but done well and kept me guessing until the very end. But what I loved the most were Thea and Damians very diverse family. Each one was well written and cant wait to get to know them all better as the series progresses.
