This book was awesomeness, hot, engaging all rolled into one. I Could not put the book down from the very start. Panting melting, smoking hot!! I would recommend this book.

I voluntarily reviewed and advanced reader copy of this book.

Witty, emotional, heart-warming and gut-wrenching are just a small portion of the rang of emotions in this amazing story

After reading the Darkest SUNRISE, I was afraid to read the conclusion in the brightest SUNSET, but I forged on, because how could I not!?

I still don't have my emotions in check after reading this book, and honesty I can't really tell you about it without spoilers, it's just one of those books you have to experience and not just read.

If I thought that Charlotte killed me in the first book, then Porter Reese SLAYED me! The book picks up right where the cliffhanger of the last one left off and to say it is with a bang is an understatement! I was so mad for a good portion of the book and i guess I could understand, but come on!!

There is a riff, but Aly didn't make us wait long before that riff was whole and the obstacles that Porter, Charlotte, Brady, Travis, and Hannah have to go through are, just...WOW! I have no idea how Aly does it, but she digs deep in your soul with her words and pulls out this emotions you didn't even know you had for a subject you would have no idea how to handle in a million and two years, THAT'S how talented and good this book was!

I really can't imagine thinking my life was one way, then BAM! everything I thought I knew is in question, including the love I have for someone. It was a great emotionally charged ride that I will read over and over!

*EP is NOT a standalone book; You MUST read Side A and B Side first!*

(As one of Dees Arc'etts)  Its been almost a week since I finished EP, and Im still not sure that, even now, I can wrap my head around it enough to put my thoughts into words that make sense or do the story justice. It was, simultaneously, completely amazing and completely awful. I cant even remember the last book that made me cry like that (I literally cried the entire first 23%; and thats how much it messed me up, because I know it was 23%, not just some vague I cried for about the first quarter of the book); and even after that it wasn't like it was all smooth-sailing and there were no more tears. And as much as I wanted to get to the end, there were parts of it that mandated that I stop and take a break because it was just too much.

Usually when I come across a book/series that I had such strong feelings for, I make a place for them on my physical bookshelf (I don't buy/collect physical books willy-nilly, and only really make a space for them when they have embedded themselves in my mind/heart); Ive actually had to consider whether or not I will be doing that with these, though Im not sure if I would ever get through them again; even knowing how everything works out.

And by now you must all be thinking "that doesn't really sound good", or "umm.. she gave it five stars.. she liked it... right?" LoL.. I told you I was struggling with trying to put my love in to words and do it justice; yes, it hurt... and yes, I loved it. It was amazing and beautiful and gut-wrenching, and I think the biggest mindf*** of all about the series, for me, was that I, ultimately, got what I wanted but, God, did Dee make me (us; readers) work for it.

Seriously.. read it.

This is my new very favorite book. I can't get over how good it was! I just hate that I finished it because I already miss reading it. You know you have found a truly rare and amazing book when you finish it feeling like you have lost dear friends. I absolutely can't wait until the follow-up is released. If I was half as good a writer as Sawyer, I could come up with better words to describe this book but I am stuck with breath-taking and simply superb. Thank you so much for this gift of beauty!

If I could give this book more than 5 stars I definitely would! It was an amazing book but, honestly I didn't expect any Less from this author (I loved "the Wild ones"). The plot was different and I honestly didn't see any of the surprises comming! I found Olivia to be so real and down to earth and I immediately Liked her personality and, as for Cash and Nash....PHEW! what can I say about them? They were Both Irresistible in their own way. I immediately saw the appeal (just with the looks alone....*swoon*) but, I can also see Olivias hesitation for both of them. I also really enjoyed all of the characters own personal background. It makes you care for them more and get into the story even more. This book is a whole convoluted  love triangle and honestly I could NOT pick between them ;). I won't give anything away but im definitely  glad with her choice! Great , awesome, can't-put-it-down kind of book!! I soooo recommend this one! Im ANXIOUSLY waiting for the sequel!

I've never known a story to have SO many precious and cute moments and weave them so beautifully together into a whole chapter upon chapters NOVEL length of goodness!!

I'm so glad I found this series, if you loved the first book you'll love the second one! I feel like I'm out of words for how great this story is to me because I've already gone on long winded tangents about it to as many friends as I could. But let it be known dear amazon readers - this series is a GIFT!

I feel so spoiled by it. I'm so grateful to it!

Read it! Read it! I can't even tell you how wonderfully, sexy, and hot this book and characters are! Read it!

I know I loved it, because I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop going over a ton of scenes now that I know where it "went", and re-evaluating my initial reactions to those scenes. Reliving them, torturing myself over it. "PLEASE!!! Read this NOW." I have all these pent up feelings that are agonizing!!  I tossed and turned all night over this story. I'm exhausted, and I feel like I was thrown off of a runaway train. I was not ready for this story to end..  I want to know the rest....

Okay, I'm honestly not good at putting into words how I feel, especially when it's very strongly about something. I've been sitting here for well over an hour now, trying to decipher exactly how I feel and how I can even begin to describe what I just read.... well, here goes.

First off, I CANNOT believe this is a debut novel. If I didn't know, I'd think this was her 3rd or 4th book. Second, holy hotness! As I was sitting outside last night trying to have a discussion with family and my husband I couldn't stop reading and oh boy, how steamy some parts were. I truthfully have no bad words to say about this, I have absolutely nothing negative in the least that once crossed my mind. I'm still reeling over how unbelievably good this book was I can't say anything other than that.

2 people falling in love is always, always an enjoyable book to me. But this, this was so much more. It was hurt, betrayal, lies, guilt, the happy's, the sad's, lust, and the one that always rules over everything is love. This book made me want to hug my husband and enjoy what I have with him. I don't want to give spoilers because when I say you just need to read this yourself, I mean it. And with that, I give 50 freaking stars and leave it at that. (Mostly cause I'm still crying thinking about it)

Okay, so there are already 545 reviews for this book, but I had to leave another one.  This book is one of the best books I've read so far this year.  Yes, I was a little late to the party reading it.  I'm a busy girl.  But, man-oh-man.  It's not just the story and it's originality I loved, it's how CD writes that blows me away.  It's so unbelievably good.  Descriptive.  Unique.  Feeling.  Hot.  I could not get enough of  'I'm going to pretend I'm not a dominant' Adam, who is SO clearly made to dominant.  I'm not sure how his wife missed that one, (I wanted to spank her more than Adam did I think.)  But once she got it, boy did things get interesting.  Be ready for a little dark, a little twisty, and a lot of sexual self discovery.  This book is delicious.  You will melt like an ice cream on a hot summer day.  So yeah, in case you couldn't tell, I loved this book.

This one is REALLY GOOD. I wish I could give it 6 stars.

okay, I'm emotionally distressed over a book, A BOOK. What has my life come to?! I thought I was in a distress after reading Incarnate, but nope, reading Asunder has exceeded that to the extremes. I'm not even exaggerating when I say this has to be one of the best books ever. I love it IT WAS SO INCREDIBLY GOOD AND VERY WELL WRITTEN, AND I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO EXPLODE BECAUSE THE NEXT BOOK DOESN'T COME OUT UNTIL NEXT YEAR. (It was already hard enough waiting for this one after reading Incarnate.) Jodi Meadows really knows how to keep us on the edge of our seats. There were plot twists around every corner, and she kept the book interesting throughout the whole time I was reading it; I was hooked onto the book until I finished it. The writing just flowed so beautifully; there was never a part that didn't have me aching for the next. I won't say more in fear of giving it away, but just know, A LOT OF PLOT TWISTS. Also, if you've read Incarnate, things you may have had confusion about before are mostly cleared up in this book. There are still very many things that keep you looking forward to the third book, though. OH, AND ALSO, THERE WAS ROMANCE. The love between Dossam and Ana bloom even more. I was swooning reading those parts. It was just so sweet and cute and heart wrenching. So, if you're ever in search of a good book to read, read Incarnate and Asunder. They're both incredible books, I swear. Be prepared for mental explosion, though, the good kind, of course.

If I could give it more, I would. At the 10% mark, I had that "I know I'm going to ignore my family and read all weekend" feeling (and that is pretty much what I did). This book was amazingly hot and incredibly fantastic!

At the beginning of the book, Remington seems so arrogant but I'm hooked and intrigued to learn more about him. I like Brooke, I feel like she's really strong and somehow I can relate to her. I'm fascinated to learn more about Remy's past as the story continues, he is so flawed and yet so desirable at the same time, and I can totally feel Brooke's pain for him. The more I learn, all his raw emotion made me truly feel for him and I had a huge "I didn't see that coming" moment. The sexual tension is pretty high throughout and by the time they get to that very first sex scene, it is jaw dropping hot.

This is such a well written, and at times, intense book. I'm pretty sure I held my breath towards the end and was definitely on the edge of my seat. I got that "I am going to go into a mourning period when this book is done" feeling. I know I will be rereading this one again.

Katy Evans has a playlist for REAL on her website and in the book as well (at least in my Kindle edition). I highly recommend listening to it. Hearing the songs seem to make everything so much more meaningful, it's almost like they have a story of their own in relation to the book. It's like the songs themselves make you understand the characters even that much more. I made a playlist on Spotify, you can listen to them for free there.

I loved this book! LOVED IT!

This is the first book I've read by this author and I just have to say this book was something. I absolutely loved it. I have cried so many times reading this book than have with any other book I've read. This book was definitely different from what I normally read but let me just let me just tell you if your thinking of reading this book. Do it! This is a great story. And it definitely deserves 10 stars but unfortunately I can only give it 5. This was a great read and if your thinking of reading it do it because you won't be disappointed!

I'm not sure where to even start. I have  to say that I could have given this book 1 star or 5, on  of th  best books I've read this year, however parts had me frustrated, an  annoyed, and in love - all like only an amazing book can do. I have seen rumors that this book will not have a sequel - this is a book that needs one and I will be so mad if there isn't! I mean, I never want sequels, but Ms. Aurora, you can not mess with my emotions and leave me hanging like this! I'm going to be thinking about this book for a long time.

This is hands down AMAZING!!!! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would

Oh...my god!!! I can't even comprehend what I just read! I want to cry in both agony and joy...

At first when I started reading I was a little nervous and unsure because I thought "there's no way she can write another 5 star book for me" and so I read cautiously. And in the beginning, while I did enjoy it, I was scared because I wasn't as into it as all the other books but once I finally just sat down, no distractions and read...holy cow did I get attached.

There's nothing I could say that could give this book justice. To be honest, I don't even want to tell you what goes on in this book because it's better left for personal experience. Read this book. Fall in love. Feel every emotion course through you. Feel joy and happiness, sorrow and disgust. But at the end, you will be better for it and will come out knowing you read what could possible be one of the best pieces of literature out there.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to read Finding Eden and fall more in love with books then I was before.
