Crazy, I know right?!? I’m a married woman and found myself drooling over Noah…good grief! The bad boy persona turned major hottie had me completely shattered! All I can say is this book is like crack to an addict. I need rehab…
This book needs no review, it’s just that good. I really liked it from the beginning, but halfway though, I literally couldn’t put it down. Life went on around me but I wasn’t part of it. My kids are still alive though, so that’s what matters ;)
Age group…hmmm…if you know me I usually disclose all the dirty details. The book doesn’t have explicit sex but it may as well have it.
It was HOT HOT HOT! Reader beware of temperatures in the room fluctuating without warning.
I would say 17 ish for this book. A mature one at that. It does have language…like all the time. It does say the Lord’s name in vain (I just skip over it). However I really liked the depth of the story. It had good morals and ideals. Like a broken family turned back to good kind of thing. No paranormal element just a good story.
My tribute to Noah: (There just aren’t enough men like this in the world…)

I mean, I was seriously thinking that she sat Fifty Shades of Grey side by side and simply changed the main character’s names. Right from the beginning I was going, “Wait, what book am I reading? Didn’t I read this EXACT same thing in Fifty?!?” Everything from the clumsy, clueless, pitiful girl; down to the powerful billionaire with the shady past. Oh yeah. It really goes there. I think I need a drink… Now don’t get me wrong. The book wasn’t all horrifyingly mindboggling bad. Which is why I rated it the way I did. I found her writing style to be more blunt than Fifty and I kept looking around the room for Jesus because she kept using his name in one word sentences. I mean, when she wrote it was she looking for him? I hope she finally found him. Okay, so let’s talk drama. I think this book is the poster child for people with codependency issues complete with Eva, the main character, constantly running away so Gideon, the other main character, could chase her. It was basically a book on how to play tag adult style and the prize for whoever catches the other one first was to blow their brains out with ridiculous sex… over and over and over and over again (to the tenth degree). It got so old that by the time I was halfway through I kind braced myself saying, “Ah, here we go again. Another fourteen pages dedicated to how Gideon was going to rock her world.” This man must have super human strength because I’ve never heard of a man able to press the replay button six times over in one sitting. Maybe this book was meant to take on a paranormal element… I’m not really sure. Sparkly vampires anyone? This book made me realize how much I love YA. I have to tell you that all this unrealistic sex that has been drilled into my brain makes me wanna detox. I need a book that has a complete story line. Not two dysfunctional people that can barely stand on their own two feet and the only thing they have in common are found in their pants. A story should have depth and mystery. It can be romantic without needing to blow Eva’s lady parts all over the pages. I mean seriously people, have some dignity!

So here's how it went in God's heart: The six or seven or ten of us walked/wheeled in, grazed at the decrepit selection of cookies and lemonade, sat down in the Circle of Trust and listened to Patrick recount for the thousandth time his depressingly miserable life story--how he had cancer in his balls and they thought he was going to die but he didn't die and now here he is, a full-grown adult in a church basement in the 137th nicest city in America, divorced, addicted to video games, mostly friendless, eking out a meager living by exploiting his cancertastic past, slowly working his way toward a master's degree that will not improve his career prospects, waiting , as we all do, for the sword of Damocles to give him the relief that he escaped lo those many years ago when cancer took both of his nuts but spared what only the most generous soul might call his life. AND YOU TOO MIGHT BE SO LUCKY!
