But the road will take me away from the girl who makes me feel alive--the girl I can't live without.Time only gets us so far...
This book was received from Inkslinger PR in
exchange for an honest review.
I absolutely adore this series. The heroine
doesn’t annoy me and the guy is beyond hot. Win – win!
Carrie is still a mostly strong heroine. I
love that she is insanely sweet but also sassy. She could be naïve at times but
that didn’t take away from my liking of her. She needed at times to be stronger
to her parents but hopefully she will be next book. I do really like her
though.
Finn is still as alpha and as hot as ever.
He was slightly annoying when he was going on about the differences between
them socially and class-wise, but I did understand his concern. But I knew
Carrie didn’t care about their differences, and he made a big deal out of it, I
felt. But at least he apologized. :)
It’s really hard for me to get a handle on
Carrie’s parents. I get why her dad is so protective of her but I hate how he
treats Finn. Her mother was annoying because she was basically arranging a
marriage for Carrie. I absolutely hate those. I liked hearing more about her
roommate, Marie, in this installment. I like her.
I liked the turn this book took after its
predecessor. This book is also beyond hot! The sex scenes are some of the
hottest in NA now and I absolutely love it. Like my goodness. It’s probably
because Jen also writes adult. She’s a pro!
Jen seems to be a fan of cliffhangers so I am dying for book 3!
Favorite Swoon-worthy Quote: I climbed off the bed and rose on tiptoes, kissing him. His tongue
rubbed against mine, making my stomach clench. When I slid my hands down over
his pecs and abs and then up under his shirt, he groaned into my mouth. My
nails scraped his skin, and I pulled back long enough to pull his shirt over
his head.
I stood back and
looked at him, his gaze burning into mine as I did so. His dark ink swirled up
his arms and over his biceps before it crept over his shoulders and chest. I
never got sick of looking at his tattoos. I loved deciphering them and admiring
how they intertwined with perfection.
