My Review

*****5 PHENOMENAL STARS*****

Ben and Mia Kelly are one of my favorite book couples around. Like seriously. Those two are always guaranteed to melt your heart ten times over, and bring a certain kind of blush to your face if you know what I mean. They’re just one of the most heart melting couples around, and that Benjamin Kelly…well he is oh so swoonworthy, so when I found out they were getting a novella after their story Where I Belong, I may have shrieked. Like a lot. I might have also smiled. A lot.

Where We Belong is one of the best novellas I have ever read and I loved every single phenomenal word of it. It had my pulse racing, my skin tingling, and my heart bursting with so much feeling and emotion that just had me loving Ben and Mia even more than I already did. I full on swooned more times than I could count reading this novella, while also smiling like a crazy fool because I was just so happy with everything that I was getting to experience with all of these characters.

This novella was heated, all-feeling, the best kind of intense, enrapturing as all get out, and bursting with the effervescent and distinctive spark that is Ben and Mia.

Where We Belong not only gave me more time with two characters I whole heartedly love to pieces, it gave me a story with some twists and turns that completely captivated me from start to finish. What I think I loved the most about this novella and this series in general is that you get to continue seeing these characters after their happily ever afters. You get to see them happy, you see where their struggles come in, and you get to see how they keep fighting through it all to hold onto that happily ever after that they so deserve. This novella lets you experience what comes after for Ben and Mia right along with them, and that is nothing short of wonderful because you get more of every single aspect that defines them and this extraordinary series.

In this story you get more Ben and Mia, you get more Nolan and Chasey and there utter and total cuteness, you get some Tessa and Luke and the spunk and fire that define those two, and even some Reed and Beth who just melt me more every time I see them. This novella also gives you a few other characters that I won’t mention because you just need to meet them for yourself.

Daniels packs one helluva story into this novella that just doesn’t quit. It’s exciting and engaging. It’s got build upon build upon build in it, and the heated tension she creates in Where We Belong will have you searching for the nearest fan. J. Daniels outstanding writing and storytelling also has more emotion and meaning than you can shake a stick at. You feel every ounce, every word, every beautiful and authentic feeling in this book from Ben and Mia, and I guarantee by the end of this story you’ll just want to reread this entire series because you’ll need to experience the wonderful world of these characters more.

Where We Belong gives you another fantastic story with Ben and Mia. The story just reiterated to me over and over again why I love their characters so much, and why this series is one of my all-time favorites. These characters are so fun and real and just enjoyable to read, (it also kind of helps that they totally melt your heart on every page too!) and I honestly can’t wait for more of them. This novella gave me so many unforgettable moments with Ben and Mia, their boys, and just all of the wonderful characters that make this series what it is.

This novella has me more than ready for more, and I cannot wait to see where the events brought up in this story will lead this group of characters. I love this series so fiercely, and I have no doubt that I am going to love wherever this seriously talented author takes them next. And lord knows I will probably shriek like crazy whenever that next book comes out. Seriously. It will happen.

Where We Belong is a novella that couldn’t be more perfect. It had everything I’ve come to know and love about Ben and Mia, and it just made me fall more fiercely under their spell. This novella made me laugh, and smile, it made my heart squeeze and melt and then melt some more, and it just gave me so much love that I felt in my bones. Like I said, this was one of the best novellas I’ve ever read, and I could honestly go on and on about how much I loved it.

It is perfection, and if you love Ben and Mia and this series, then you will one hundred percent love this chapter in their story. Trust me. They are the best and this novella is the best and you will love it!

Excerpt

“You’re really purdy,” she slurred with a lopsided grin, running her finger down my cheek.
“That’s it. No more drinks for you,” I said, dragging the glass away from her.
“No! I’ve only had three,” she said as she lurched forward, pulling the drink out of my hands.
“I’m enjoying myself. I’ve had a bitch of a week and I deserve to let loose a little.”
I held my hands up. “You’ve actually had four martinis, but anything you want, princess.”
Her eyes grew into little slits. “I’m not your princess,” she slurred, sounding completely adorable.
My cheeks hurt as I smiled. “I’m going to take you home now. I think you need to sleep it off.”
“Last time I checked,” she said before hiccupping, “you’re not my daddy.” A slow smile crept across her face. She scooted closer and whispered, “Unless that’s your thing.” She tried to wink, but both eyes closed, one after the other.
I leaned into her space, a breath away from her lips. “It’s not my thing, but I’m happy to act out your fantasies. But I don’t think you want to cross that line. Once you go there, there’s no going back.” I stared into her eyes.
“Oooh.” Her eyes grew wide. “Is that supposed to scare me, Mr. DeLuca?”
I didn’t move. “I’m just giving you fair warning. You’ve had a few drinks, and I won’t take advantage of that. I’m just telling you how it is.”
“You’re full of yourself.” Her warm, sweet breath caressed my lips as she spoke.
All I wanted to do was reach out, pull her face to mine, and kiss her full, beautiful lips. “I’m sure of myself and confident in my abilities, yes. That’s entirely different than being full of myself.” I licked my lips, testing her.
Her eyes dropped to my mouth as her lips parted.
“Another?” Lisa interrupted.
“We’re good,” I replied, keeping my eyes pinned to Race and waving Lisa off.
“Pfft,” Lisa scoffed, stomping away.
Race glared in Lisa’s direction. “She wants you,” she whispered.
Was she jealous?
“I don’t want her.”
“She’s a sure thing though.”
I leaned closer, leaving very little space between us. “I never liked easy.”
“All men like easy.” Her body swayed, moving so close our lips almost brushed.

Excerpt

“Sorry, sweetheart, but you’re going to have to hit a lot harder than that to leave a mark on my skin,” he prods, further irritating me, causing me to ball my hand into a fist again, ready to accept his challenge. 

“Let’s get a couple of things straight here, asshole. First of all, when I introduced myself to you last night, did I say, ‘Hey, sexy, I’m Charlotte. I want a good fuck and you look just like the guy to give it to me’? Well, did I?” I ask, seething with anger as he hesitates to answer me. Sure, I may have thought about his lips on my skin, but I never would’ve gone home with him on the first night, no matter what Lucy advised me to do. 

He blinks at me, looking from my fist to my face. “Uh…no?” 

“Exactly, so you can forget that whole part of your argument, but thank God you’re so fucking noble that you won’t sleep with another man’s woman. Seriously. Fucking kudos. I’ll have to get you a cookie for that.” He snorts, and I glare at him, shutting him up. “So second of all, did you ever ask if I have a boyfriend? Not that it should matter to you since you blew me off when I simply told you my name, but did you ever ask if I had a boyfriend?”

Incinerate_Alternate3_4x6postcardAgain, I get a blank stare before he lets out another, “No.”

“So then ask me.” 

He clears his throat before he asks the question. “Charlotte, do you have a boyfriend?”

Giving him a sweet smile that’s still laced with venom, I answer him. “No, Knox, for your information, I do not have a boyfriend. I did, however, have a fiancé until a couple of months ago. It looks like we have one thing in common. I, like you, cannot stand cheaters.”

(Stand alone)

I’ve loved once. I gave everything that I had to that love. Blindly believing that nothing could ever take that feeling away from me. Away from us. And when my little world of happiness was ripped from my fingers, I felt a loss that still haunts me to this day.

Now I use that lingering grief as a shield to keep my heart from loving again. It’s that fear that keeps me from letting anyone, except my daughter, get close enough to make it hurt. To make my heart bleed when I inevitably lose again.

Until the day I met Liam Beckett and everything I thought I had protected myself from was shoved back in my face.

He’s on a mission to prove to me that a love worth having is a love worth fighting for.

My Review

*****5 Everything Stars*****

As I sit hear writing this review I have to say that I don’t know if I’ll be able to fully capture the sheer magnitude of how much I loved this book. Saying I loved Bleeding Love by Harper Sloan doesn’t seem to do this book the immense amount of justice it deserves. And let me tell you, this book deserves a helluva lot of justice because Liam and Megan’s heart melting story is one that will truly stay with me forever.

Saying I loved this book still doesn’t seem like a strong enough sentiment for the utterly captivating, beautifully emotional, and truly unforgettable reading experience I had while reading Bleeding Love.

I felt this book in my bones, and so deep in my heart. I felt every stich of emotion, every heated and raspy breath of desire, every wisp of spark filled connection, every swoonworthy make your heart melt moment. I felt everything. Every beautiful, all feeling, and consuming thing. Every. Single. Thing.

And that is just part of what makes this book the exceptional thing that it is.

Even though I’m not sure saying I loved this book will do it the justice it warrants, I honestly can’t say enough how much I loved it. I loved the words I read. I loved all of the extraordinarily crafted feelings and emotions I got to whole heartedly experience. I loved the remarkable and captivating characters I fell so hard for. I loved their triumphs and struggles. I loved the moments that hurt my heart, the moments that tried to make it all better, and the moments that made it all worth it. I loved it all.

Liam and Megan’s story in Bleeding Love consumed me heart and soul right from the very start. I loved that in this story you were thrown right into the thick of it right from the very start, and that just worked so well for what was happening between Liam and Megan. You hit the ground running, and you don’t stop feeling and breathing and taking in this story until you reach the end. (And even then you still feel, and breathe, and take it all in because it is that fantastic.) This story will just enrapture you from the very start, and feeling all that you do from these two from the very beginning will have you rooting for them from page one.

Megan and Liam’s story is defined by a lot of things. It’s defined by the past, and the pain and struggle that it brings for Megan. It’s defined by the determination and stubbornness that comes along with it. It’s defined by the utterly magnificent level of fight that bursts from the pages of this book, from both Megan and Liam. (Especially Liam. That man fights hard, and you will feel that in your bones.) It’s also defined by the exceptional and breathtaking level of emotion and feeling you experience from Liam and Megan from the very start to the very end.

Bleeding Love is defined by so many incredible things, and each and every one of those things is what makes this beautifully crafted story what it is.

A story of two people fighting to see and realize that if they find a way to breakdown all the walls and put together all their remarkable pieces, they could truly share something so beyond worth it.

My heart went to Megan’s character right from the start. That girl has been through it all, and much is revealed about her past and how things came to be over the course of the story. Megan has gone through way more than what any person deserves. I hurt for what she went through, I connected so truly to what she was experiencing and feeling, and I cared for her so fiercely as she went through her breathtaking and heart squeezing journey in this book.

Even though Megan has experienced a world of pain and hurt, there is such a strength to her character attempting to push through. A fire and an effervescent spirit that is giving it her all for herself and for her daughter. I can’t say enough how much I respected, loved, and admired her and the tenacity that flowed from her even in those very dark moments. Megan is a gem of a character, who will just blow you away with everything she’s got.

Liam Beckett won me over not only with his heart stopping smile, but with his heart of gold that was bursting with so much authentic, raw, and honest feeling. There is just such a goodness to his character that you feel right from the start. What he feels for Megan and for her daughter will warm your heart, while also quite possibly bursting an ovary or two.

What I think I loved most about Liam was the level of fight that he had, and that he wasn’t afraid to put it all out there for Megan. He was there for her, and through it all he kept pushing and fighting with all of his might because he knew they could share something extraordinary, if they were only given the chance to. He also wasn’t too proud to put all of his feelings and intentions out there, and he did that so genuinely with such integrity, that I guarantee there is no way you won’t fall under the spell of his character. It’s simply impossible not to love him.

Liam and Megan’s story was definitely a journey. It had its ups and downs, and it definitely puts your heart through the ringer a bit with all that these two go through, but I am telling you that you will bask in everything you get with them both. Even in those moments where you’re feeling every heart squeezing moment so fully in your heart and when your tears are flowing freely, you’ll love it because of the extraordinary experience you’re getting with Liam and Megan.

You feel them. You get them. Your root for them. You love them.

I can’t tell you how many times I had tears come to my eyes when I read this book, or how many times my heart literally squeezed because of what I was feeling while reading. I lost count. I can tell you though that I highlighted practically half of the book because the words were just that meaningful, and they needed to be remembered. That is just a true testament to the real literary magic that Harper Sloan created and conveyed in Bleeding Love.

I have read and loved all of Harper Sloan’s books, and I have to say that when I read a book by her it feels like coming home. That might sound super cheesy, but it couldn’t be more true. Her phenomenal writing, outstanding stories, and fantastically dynamic characters just continue to enrapture me within their amazingness. I love what I get to feel when reading these books and spending time with all of these remarkable characters. They completely steal my heart each and every time, and I continue to be swept away in the wonderfulness that is the world of Harper Sloan’s books.

Bleeding Love was no different. The minute I started it, I knew I was going to love it fiercely. About 10% in I had a feeling it would be my new favorite book from this author, and by the halfway point I knew without a doubt that this was assuredly my favorite book of Harper Sloan’s to date. I will say that that surprised me a little bit, not because I didn’t think I’d love this book because I knew that I would, but because Locke had been my favorite character in the world of this author’s books since the moment I met him in Axel (Harper Sloan’s first book), so of course his book had always been special.

I’ve loved all of Harper Sloan’s magnificent characters. They’ve each stolen a little distinctive piece of my heart because they’re all kind of fabulous, and until this book I think Locke owned the biggest piece. But with one heart melting smile from one Liam Beckett, Liam’s piece became just a bit bigger. Then I read this book, and got to feel the goodness and wonderfulness emanating from that man, and the piece of my heart belonging to Liam, and Megan and Molly for that matter, got even bigger.

Bleeding Love was everything. It gives you every single authentic, amazing, and emotionally heart stopping thing you could ever want in a story. You feel every ounce of what you read in this book, and it reminds you of why feeling a book so fully is nothing short of wonderful. It’s a story of what happens when two people begin to realize that love is worth giving everything to, worth every bit of fight you have, and worth every incredibly breathtaking and heart pulling moment it can give you.

Like I said, Bleeding Love was everything, and you’re going to want to experience that superb level of everything right this very second. Believe me. That everything is everything.

bleeding love teaser 2

Excerpt

His mouth leaves mine and with his hand still on my leg, he demands, “Dig your heels in deep, baby.”

I give him what he wants, but not because he told me to. I give him what he wants because when his hand leaves my leg and pushes into the mattress, bringing his body up he goes even deeper into my body and those heels push hard.

Just as he demanded earlier, my hands go to his shoulders on my own accord and as he takes my body hard, my nails dig in with my heels still pushing hard against the small of his back. Our eyes never leave each other’s probing gaze. Never once do I take my eyes away from his, so full of lust that I know there isn’t an ounce of control left in his body.

He drops his head and I lift up to meet him in a kiss so sweet it doesn’t match the powerful way that he’s taking my body. A kiss that gives me more than words ever could at this moment. His hips slow and as his tongue rolls against mine, his hips start to take me in slow, deep rolls. He doesn’t pull back, just rocks his hips against mine.

I push up and cry out when he slips even deeper.

His lips come from mine and his hooded eyes open a sliver. “Feels like heaven,” he says softly. “Everything, darlin’. Feels like everything.”

My Review

**** 4.5 AMAZING STARS****

Each time I sit down to read a new book in River Savage’s Knights Rebels MC Series, I fall more and more in love with this phenomenal series and its distinctive characters. River Savage’s fantastic writing continues to pull me into the world of this series, and I absolutely love every word I get to spend within it. Desertion, the third full length novel in this series, was no different, and I was completely enraptured by Jesse and Bell’s story.

It was heated and bursting with more sparks and fire than fireworks on the Fourth of July. It was emotionally consuming, and had me living and breathing and feeling every single exceptionally crafted feeling and emotion these characters were. It was entertaining as all get out too, and I couldn’t go more than a few pages without smiling or laughing or just enjoying what I was reading.

Desertion just gave me so much when I was reading it. It gave me two magnificent characters who were both fighting some major things in their lives. It gave me their fantastically intense story of what happens when those two dynamic characters come together. It gave me the distinctive world of this series, and all of the wonderful characters that come with it once again.

This book gave me so much, and I just relished in that because it was utterly fantastic to experience.

Jesse Carter is definitely a player to put it mildly. He puts on a happy-go-lucky front, but underneath his charming surface is a man that has experienced a world of pain and more hurt than anyone deserves. Jesse is still reeling from that pain in this book, and you get to experience that full force. Let me tell you that that pain is a doozy, but what you experience with Jesse will have you feeling immensely for his character. He keeps people away, he says things he shouldn’t, and he sure pushes and pushes until you can’t push anymore, but you will completely understand why he does that because of how fantastically this author writes and develops his character.

As much I sometimes hated what Jesse was doing to himself and to others in this book, I just completely understood where it came from and why he was like that, and that just allowed me to completely get his character. I cared for him, I felt for him immensely, and my heart just went to him with what he was going through. Reading Jesse experience that and try to fight through the darkness that threatens to overcome him will completely blow you away.

Bell Johnson was an incredible female character that I instantly connected to the minute I started this book. She was real, she was honest, and she definitely had a striking innocence to her. What I think I loved about Bell the most though was getting to see how her character evolved over the course of the story. Her character is wonderful throughout this book, but I got to experience Bell go from being reserved and held back, to someone who wasn’t afraid to give it all she had, fight back, and give as much push as she could. I loved seeing that evolution in her character because I felt that it showed so much strength in her, and it really just illuminated so many phenomenal things about her.

Like Jesse, Bell has some darkness in her past that continues to cloud her future. I was captivated completely in Bell’s story, and what her and her family were going through while reading Desertion. Reading what she experiences as she tries to find a way out from that darkness just made me love her character more, and just showed that she was a girl who was bound and determined to fight for her family and find the light to all of that darkness.

Now when Jesse and Bell come together in this book you get a lot of things. You get a whole heck of a lot of charm from Jesse, you get a whole lot of “you’re not getting any of this” from Bell, and you get the outstanding level of push and pull that results from that. Jesse and Bell have an electric level of chemistry that fires off of the page, and it just continues to build and build and build some more in Desertion until its inevitable explosion. And let me tell you, when it all explodes, it is mesmerizing, heated as all get out, and bursting with more passion and intensity than you can shake a stick at.

I feel like Desertion is defined in a way by the level of push and pull between Jesse and Bell. That push and pull is heated and sometimes it’s isn’t too pretty to experience, but boy is it emotional, all feeling, and laced with so much intensity. You will feel every single ounce of that push and pull, and your heart will go to both Jesse and Bell for what happens in the midst of all that. Your heart will break for them, it will feel for them, it will love them, and most of all it will want to fight for them because with every push and pull, you get a clearer glimpse of the extraordinary and vibrant thing Bell and Jesse could have if they only gave it a chance.

While Bell and Jesse try to make sense of what it is that their feeling for one another and where that could take them, this book also gives you a storyline filled with many twists and turns. I thought River Savage did an exceptional job of weaving the many layers to this story together, and it’s just one of the many aspects that reminded me why I have loved every book in this series. Desertion was packed with events that paced the story very well, and just had me beyond intrigued to learn what would happen next. While you get a complete story in Desertion, River Savage also did a fantastic job of setting up what’s to come in this series, which I am so excited and looking forward to reading.

That story also does a phenomenal job of bringing the wonderfully distinctive characters of this series together once again. It’s no secret that the Knights Rebels and their lady friends are some of my favorite characters around, and I just relished in getting to spend more time with them in this book. Their interactions with Bell and Jesse just made me love them more, and I was beyond thrilled with what I got to see with their characters. Nix, Kaydence, Holly, Sy, Beau, Kelly, Hunter, Brooks, and all the rest of the amazing characters in this series just added to how much I loved reading this book, and I for one can’t wait to spend more time with all of them.

River Savage and her outstanding writing just allows you to become fully encapsulated within the incredible world of this book with her fantastic characters, and I am telling you that you will love every word you get to spend within it.

Desertion was an emotionally charged book that tells the story of two seemingly opposite characters, who just might be exactly what the other needs to move past the darkness and pain that threatens to consume them. This book was exciting, and passionate, and intense in the best possible ways, while it told the story of two exceptional characters and their extraordinary fight. Sometimes they were fighting themselves, sometimes they were fighting each other and that magnetic pull they shared, and sometimes they were fighting that darkness, but through it all they were fighting and giving it their all.

This book will have you fully and whole heartedly experiencing everything with Jesse and Bell’s characters. You’ll hurt with them, you’ll bask with them, and you’ll fight and fall so deeply with them as you read their magnificent story. By the end of this book you’ll just realize why you love Jesse and Bell fiercely, why you love and root for what their fighting for, and why you once again love the wonderfully distinctive and wholly enrapturing world of the Knights Rebels MC.

Excerpt
I wake up to the heat of someone’s palm against my shoulder. Twisting around, my hand moves faster than my brain, and I snatch it off me.

“Jesse, it’s me, Bell,” she rushes out before I can take it any further.

“Fuck.” I release my grip on her arm and sit up, forcing myself back to the here and now.

“Did I hurt you?” I reach for her searching for any sign of a mark left by me.

“It’s fine. You barely touched me.” She holds her arm out letting me inspect it. I check it over one more time before releasing her and relaxing.

“You wanna talk about it?” I study her face, eyes calm, soft mouth. She’s not freaking out.

“Just some shit that visits my dreams sometimes, nothing that needs to touch you,” I reply, shocked I’m not retreating.

“I don’t mind, Jesse,” she pushes, and I almost cave. Almost.

“The last thing I want to do is talk about this shit, Bell.” She doesn’t argue or press, and I’m grateful for it. I don’t think I’d be able to keep my cool if she did.

“Come back to sleep.” She lies back down and I follow her. She doesn’t ask me any more questions, or make me feel like I need to tell her everything.

“That ever happens again, don’t wake me,” I warn. A menacing thought strikes through me picturing what could have happened if I didn’t wake in time. She’s lucky I didn’t hurt her, like the last time a woman touched me while I had a nightmare.

“You don’t always have to be so brave, Jesse.” Her hand moves to my dog tags. I don’t stop her. I’m starting to like the feeling of her hands touching them.

“Never tried to be, Bell. But talking doesn’t help me. Never has.” I think back to the time when I did try and it forced me out of control. Talking about those triggers only amplified my insecurities. When death sits afar, mocking you in the dangerous confines of your surroundings, it fucks with your head; nothing was going to change it.

Besides, my issues weren’t what I had done. They were what I had survived. My conscience wasn’t clear and my honor wasn’t clean.

“Promise me you won’t touch me.” I keep my tone even, controlled.

“I promise.” I take her hand in mine and bring it to my lips. Maybe one day I will let someone in. Let her in.

Today isn’t that day.

But today, I didn’t push her away.

That has to count for something.

Excerpt

I stood in the doorway, surveying the bar and trying to pick Ms. True out of the crowd.

A woman peered up from her phone and looked back down.

Whoever she was, she was fucking gorgeous. She sat there with her spine straight, blond hair in a perfect bun, and a crisp black dress shirt tucked into a gray pencil skirt. Her high cheekbones almost kissed her deep-green eyes.

I wanted to saunter up to her, ask her for her number, and beg that on our first date she wear the red stilettos she had on, which made my cock instantly hard.

She glanced up, caught me staring, and waved me over.

Well, hell. Maybe she wanted my number too.

Keep calm and act natural.

Her eyes remained down, concentrating on her phone, as I approached.

“Mr. DeLuca, I presume,” she said, glancing up for a moment, her emerald eyes flickering. “Take a seat.”

Disappointment flooded me. The beautiful creature in front of me wasn’t calling me over to get my number. She was my new client.

“Ms. True?” I asked, letting my eyes linger on her legs for a little too long but not caring.

Synopsis2

I come from a family of fighters. I always thought I’d follow in their shadows, becoming unstoppable in the ring. That changed the day I saved the life of a woman I loved, but could never have.

My brother hailed me as a hero, and my reward was a wheelchair.

Paralyzed, my life became an inescapable nightmare.

Until I met her.

Ash Mabie had a heart-stopping smile and a laugh that numbed the rage and resentment brewing inside of me. She showed me that even the darkest night still had stars, and it didn’t matter one bit that you had to lie in the weeds to see them.

I was a jaded asshole who fell for a girl with a knack for running away. I couldn’t even walk but I would have spent a lifetime chasing her.

Now, I’m on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life.

Fighting the shadows of our past.

Fighting to reclaim my future.

Fighting for her.

My Review

*****5 Utterly Fantastic Stars*****

Fighting Shadows Review

Every time I sit down to read a new book by Aly Martinez, I know that I am going to be reading a story that will give me everything. I know I’ll get extraordinary characters I’ll love fiercely, a story that gives and gives and then gives some more, and that I’m going to be feeling every ounce of that amazingly crafted book whole heartedly.

I got all of that and more while reading Fighting Shadows, the second book in her On The Ropes Series.

The instant I started it I knew I was going to love this story. After practically devouring Fighting Silence, I knew that this book would likely win me over in a nanosecond, and boy was I right on that one. Fighting Shadows was phenomenally intense, enrapturing as all get out, with so much outstanding emotion and feeling weaving its way breathtakingly throughout the pages of this book.

When I was reading Fighting Shadows, I wanted to fist pump in the air while simultaneously happy dancing because of what it allowed me to experience with its characters while I was reading. Even when it tried to rip my heart out because of what these characters were going through, I still wanted to happy dance and fist pump because I was so unbelievably connected to what they were going through. That was all possible because of how superbly Aly Martinez wrote and created this book, and Ash and Flint’s characters.

Fighting Shadows tells the story of Flint Page and Ash Mabie, two dynamic characters with some serious pasts and one serious connection, and it follows them both as they explore the ups and downs and turn arounds that their immense feelings bring. This book stole my heart the minute I began reading it. It had it all, and it was all nothing short of wonderful.

What was utterly fantastic about Fighting Shadows:

  • Flint Page’s intensity. Flint Page is one intense man. And that is putting it mildly. You get to experience that intensity full force, and you get to see how that intensity just makes him who he is, and how it effects the choices he makes. That intensity is heated, powerful, and has a very strong stubborn streak, but that just made me love his character more because it just fit him, especially with all that he goes through. That intensity came from him in so many outstanding and remarkable ways, and it just allowed me to see so many different sides to his character. I got every bit of intense Flint Page, and I relished in all of that intensity while reading.
  • Ash Mabie is a girl to remember. Ash Mabie is the best kind of quirky. She’s definitely different, is bursting with life and color and vibrancy, and will say just about the first thing that comes to her mind, even if it sounds completely ridiculous. I absolutely loved that girl to pieces. I loved her because she wasn’t afraid to just be her, and she completely owned who she was. I loved her because there was such an effervescent goodness beaming out of her, and I was in awe of the effect that goodness had on those around her. (Especially Flint!) I also just loved her because she was so unique and so fun, and I hearted that refreshing remarkability something fierce.
  • Holy effing fiery connection. Flint and Ash share a connection that is intense and spark filled, and you will feel it the instant these two come around one another. Their chemistry is off the charts, and I thought the way that Aly Martinez showed that connection and how it developed over the course of the book was fantastic. I also could not get enough of what that passionate and fiery connection brought out in both of them, because that connection, that chemistry, and that heat made Ash and Flint realize a whole heck of a lot. And that was the best.
  • The shadows of the past. One of the many things that made this book so fantastic was the shadows of the past that both of these characters had, especially Flint. The way that his past is explained, the way that that in turn affects his present in the story with himself and with Ash, and then how that past alters the course of this story was just phenomenal. Learning and getting to experience both Ash and Flint’s shadow laden pasts gave me such an extraordinary understanding of their characters. It also led to so many heart squeezing moments for them both where I wanted to jump into the book and give them both a big old hug.
  • All the vulnerability they put out there. Both Ash and Flint’s characters have many incredible instances in Fighting Shadows where their vulnerability emanates from them. Those were the moments that just made this book for me, the moments that seared Ash and Flint and their story to my heart. Those moments when those walls came down, and they put themselves truly out there. It was in those moments that I realized so much about them both because of what they were experiencing and putting out there in those moments of true and utterly breathtaking vulnerability.
  • The fight and determination that defines these characters. As you would probably expect, this book has all kinds of wonderful fight in it. Both of these characters are fighting their own personal shadows that’ll break your heart, their fighting with and for that all-consuming connection they’re sharing, and they’re fighting for themselves and one another. Even in those moments when it seems like what they’re going through is going to do them in, these two fight. They give it all they’ve got, and that is truly amazing to experience and feel. I guarantee you’re going to love all of that fight and what it brings out in both Ash and Flint.
  • Heart bursting moments. There are many moments in Fighting Shadows that will simultaneously break, squeeze, and melt your heart because of what Ash and Flint are going through together and apart. Those moments highlight how fiercely connected you are to these characters and their story to because of what you’re feeling right along with them. Your heart will definitely be feeling every ounce of emotion and feeling thoughtfully crafted in this book. Your heart will be happy, it will hurt like hell at times, and it’ll go to these characters more times than you’ll be able to count, and you will relish in that heartfelt connection you feel.
  • All the authentic charm and gut busting humor. There is humor and charm bursting out of this story. Those humorous moments were the best kind of breakup to all that phenomenal tension going on in this book. That humor and charm had me smiling like crazy and laughing my butt off more times than I could count. Much of that came from Ash, but a lot of it came from Flint, as well as the other wonderfully distinctive characters that make up the authentic world of this book.
  • Page brothers for the win! So I am under the distinct impression that the Page brothers are officially some of the best brothers around. Till, Flint, and Quarry are just amazing. They’re each fantastically distinctive, and their interactions together warmed my heart because you know that these three are just there for each other through it all. Those brothers have such a shared connection through their pasts and what they go through, and it was just extraordinary to fully feel that brotherly love between them again. I can also not wait to get my hand on Quarry’s book after this one. I need his story in my life, like yesterday.

I will never forget reading Fighting Shadows, and what it was like to experience the pure literary magic that it created. I won’t ever forget Ash or Flint, or their fight to overcome the darkness, or their attempts at healing. I won’t forget how much I rooted for them, how much I loved them fiercely, and how much I wanted them to find that light they both so truly deserved. I won’t ever forget anything about this book because that’s how utterly extraordinary it is.

This is a book that stays with you in some way, shape, or form. It stays with you, it makes you feel every magnificently and thoughtfully crafted thing, and it gives you two characters who will permanently own a piece of your heart.

That piece is bursting with the perfect amount of humor, charm and ridiculousness, so much raw vulnerability and authenticity, and more glorious fight and stubbornness than you can shake a stick at. That piece is wholly unique, definitely different in the best kind of way, and vibrant as all get out because that’s what this book is. That’s what these characters are, and that’s what reading and experiencing Fighting Shadows is like.

Something also tells me that the piece of my heart that Flint Page and Ash Mabie now forever own is filled with stars and weeds and newsies and neon green converses. It’s a place where dreams go on for days, and where Eye of the Tiger plays on full blast all day long.

That is one distinctive and beautifully vibrant piece that I will always love fiercely. Once you read this unforgettable book, I think you’ll agree that that piece of your heart that these characters and their story now own is something you’ll always treasure, and will truly never want to let go of. Ever.

Excerpt

Flint and Ash Excerpt

“Hey, Flint? What time is it?” Quarry asked.

Ash’s smile actually slipped completely. For the briefest of seconds, she appeared almost ashamed.

I dragged my eyes away from her in order to answer his question, but as I looked at my wrist, I had no answer at all.

“Here,” she said as she pulled my watch from her pocket.

What. The. Fuck?

Quarry howled with laughter, and Ash chewed on her bottom lip.

“Explain,” I demanded, wrapping my watch back around my wrist and shoving my wallet in the front pocket of my hoodie.

Quarry filled in the blank. “She’s a pickpocket, dude. You should have seen her when she fell on your lap. It was so fucking fast. She straight-up stole that shit from you, and you had no fucking clue.”

“I didn’t steal it! I was gonna give it back,” she amended uncomfortably. “It was just a joke.”

A joke.

  1. Fucking. Joke.

And just like that, I remembered why I didn’t laugh anymore.

“Was it funny? Stealing from the cripple? You get a good laugh out of that?” I snapped, spinning and rolling myself away. “You know, maybe my judgment of you wasn’t all that off to begin with. Like father, like daughter, I guess.” It was a low blow, but I felt completely betrayed by a woman I didn’t even know.

“Flint, wait. I wasn’t picking on the cripple!”

I fully realized that I had just used the term, but it enraged me that she’d had the audacity to repeat it back to me. Who the hell was this chick? I pushed a hand into my pocket, searching for my keys. Fuck the food. I’d leave her ass there. Hell, Quarry too if he didn’t get his ass to the car.

“Get in the car, Q!” I yelled, only to close my eyes and drop my chin to my chest when my hand never made contact on the keys. “Son of a bitch,” I said as I spun back around.

Quarry was laughing next to her, but Ash’s cheeks were bright red.

“Keys.” I snapped my fingers and opened my hand, palm up.

“Stop being a dick,” Quarry said, casually tossing an arm around Ash’s shoulders.

She didn’t budge as she held my glare.

“Keys,” I repeated, but she remained still.

“It was a joke.” Her chin began to quiver.

For fuck’s sake, I wasn’t in any kind of mood to deal with bullshit from some girl I didn’t even know and was quickly discovering I didn’t care to know, either.

Quarry’s eyes grew wide as she turned to him and buried her cries in his chest.

What the fuck, asshole! Q signed before rubbing his hands over her back.

Her shoulders shook as she let out a loud sob that shocked us both.

“Come on. Let’s sit down.” Q tried to guide her over to an empty table.

Ash refused to look up and tripped over one of the chairs.

“Shit,” Q said, catching her around the waist.

I was just about to roll my eyes when she glanced my way. He was still trying to get her back on her feet and over to a table when her tear-free, bright-blue eyes pointedly glanced in my direction. My head snapped back in surprise, but a smile grew on her face.

Ash was about to put on a show, and with that one look, she had invited me to have a front-row seat.

As she floundered all over Quarry, her hands slid between his pockets and her own. Every noise she made and each time she flailed covered up a jarring movement. She was keeping his mind too busy for it to process all the places she was touching him. Hell, I was only watching her and I could barely keep up.

There was no denying that it was entertaining, but I wasn’t willing to show her that. However, as she accidentally lifted her knee, catching Q in the balls, a laugh erupted from my throat. He cupped his crotch while she apologized profusely and pushed him toward the same chair he’d been dragging her to only seconds before. Just before he sat, Ash swung her arm out, unwinding Q’s belt from around his body before tossing it at me.

“Oh God. I’m so sorry!” she said as Quarry held a finger up to ask for a second to recover. She didn’t wait at all though. Instead, she walked over in my direction; her prideful smile grew with every step.

She pulled my keys out of her pocket and dropped them into my lap. They were quickly followed by Quarry’s phone, wallet, and house keys. Then she snagged his belt off the floor and tossed it over her shoulder.

“It had absolutely nothing to do with you being in a wheelchair. It was a joke and it wasn’t supposed to piss you off.”

“Hey!” Quarry yelled. “That was messed up. You did not have to knee me in the balls to prove a point to him.”

“Oh, that wasn’t to prove a point. That was for bullshitting me. You knew good and damn well that he wouldn’t find it funny,” she said without ever tearing her gaze from mine. “Look, I’m sorry. I don’t have a lot of friends. And I’ve mentally noted that pickpocketing might not be the best way to make new ones.” She shrugged. “Consider it a lesson learned.”

“Three burgers all the way, onion rings, and a shake?” the guy at the counter called out.

Ash arched an eyebrow. “You want it to go, or are we good?”

I didn’t have to drop my attitude. Sure, she’d apologized, but while I might have had a short fuse, I also had a hell of a long burn. However, as she stood in front of me with her arms crossed over her chest and her blue eyes pleading for forgiveness, it magically fell away.

I swallowed hard. “No. We’re good.”

“You sure?” She leaned in, eyeing me warily, but her smile began to grow.

I swear to God it pulled at my lips as well. I fought it. But the harder I tried to keep it restrained, the bigger Ash’s grew. She was stealing my smile. The chick was good! Finally, with an eye roll, I let out a quiet chuckle, which seemed to appease her.

“Good. Now, help your brother get redressed and I’ll make the fancy sauce.” She waggled her eyebrows.
