Emily doesn't disappoint with the second installment of this series. While I'm not usually a fan of a story told from a different perspective with the same storyline Emily pulled this off perfectly and I wouldn't want to read the series in any other way. I loved seeing things through Seth's point of view. I loved seeing Ava though his eyes...even though at times I just wanted to strangle her for him. Tons of action, lots of self discovering, millions of emotions-some I was shocked to experience-

I was given an early copy of this book by the author in exchange for my honest review...
Seth thought he had finally got his happy ending only to have it come crashing down around him when Ava disappears...but he refuses to believe it's the end and works through with Dawson and Sterling to unravel the years of secrets and lies that his father created, and finds himself the target of James anger and frustration at having Ava slip through his fingers once again.

I couldn't get my hands on this book fast enough! I was given an advanced copy for an honest review and here it is...I loved it! I really enjoyed the first in the series and thought Seth seemed too good to be true and a little too perfect. This book is entirely from his POV and although he's still boyfriend material he's showing he isn't perfect which is a good thing. I thought I had pegged a few characters correctly and Ms. Pearson threw me for a loop and kept me guessing. You also get a much b

This is the second book in the Moving Forward series. It picks up right where it left off in Moving Forward. So IF you haven't read Moving Forward, STOP right there and go and get that book!!! Now, here are my thoughts on the book. Emily has packed this book with a ton of edge of your seatness (yes it is a word, or it is in my dictionary).

I kind of knew what to expect from this book, after all I'd loved book one, but I have to say it exceeded my expectations.
I was lucky enough to find myself on a long train journey with no interruptions to my reading time.
It's one of those books where telling you about it would spoil your own experience of it.
Same great characters as before, more history comes to light, it's cleverly packed full of suspense, and I didn't want to put it down.
In other words - just go out and buy it, you'll love it! ...more

Emily Pearson has absolutely knocked my socks off with Seth's story. Ava's story will break your heart but this one, it stole my breath. I don't want to give the story away here but I will tell you that the evil James lives up to expectations and you will want to join the ranks of those wanting him dead! ...more

Omg! I sat on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading Two Steps Back!
I felt the anguish and desperation Seth was suffering along side him. I was angry at Ava for her choice to leave. And hated James even more in this book than the last wanting to help the person, whether Dawson or Seth kill the bastard! A must must READ

Wow! This is a 5 star contemporary romantic suspense must read & only the 2nd book for this new talented Author! ... It continues from her first book, 'Moving Forward' which I also felt was a 5 star must read ! ... I am so amazed by this up & coming future best selling Author! ... Her style of writing is so advanced for such a young age :) ... The suspense kept the pages turning as well as the likable characters while despising at least one villain! ... Even though I was not happy with the endin

After reading Moving Forward, I had to get my hands on the next installment. With the ending of the last book I had to know what happened.
I loved getting to see Seth's journey and struggle to come to grips with everything that had happened. My heart broke for him, more than once at the suffering he had endured. Both at the hands of his father, his crazy brother-James and even from Ava. He had endured so much heartache and Ava's internal battle, and need to push him away hurt him so much more tha ...more

This is the second book in the series and is told in Seths point of view this time around. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about the change but Emily pulled it off flawlessly. It picks up exactly where the last book left off. It was nice to see things from the guys point of view. I was happy to get more depth into Dawson and Sterling. Although I feel there was no definite resolution and I was left feeling a bit frustrated and wanting to shoot James myself, I can't wait for the next book in the

Two Steps Back starts one week after Moving Forward ends, you really need to read the first book in this series in order to enjoy this one. Ava and Carissa are on the road. They have taken off and left everyone behind in order to protect those they care about from James. Seth is in turmoil, he understands Ava's thinking but at the same time he wants to protect her.

I really liked the first book in this series, Moving Forward, but was very disappointed in this second installment. Read more like an Abbott and Costello without the humor. No clear planning by the main characters on how to deal with James and getting Ava back from him. Every time the 3 main players sat down to plan their next move, they would decide to drink because they couldn't figure out what direction to go. Was filled with lots of anger and cursing in almost every sentence. Not impressed a

Well what can I say, except Emily R Pearson you have done it again, provided me with a gripping and emotional read. This book is a suspense story but to me, at its core is love. And it is this love which drives the story forward. I'm not just going to do a retelling of the story as this would spoil it for you, but I am going to say that this story is full of sexy and strong alpha males with equally strong and independent females. Ava and Carrissa you show that us girls sure can fight when we nee

I did not read the first book in this series, but did not have trouble following the story. Ava's journey to escape from a madman is full of intrigue and suspense. The story is told from Seth's point of view as he struggles to uncover family secrets and rescue Ava. The story moves along nicely as mysteries are unraveled, but is it finally over? Great story, great characters, great author!

I loved book one and holy moly I loved this one too. This book continues from book one so make sure you read it before you start this one.
This is told from Seths point of view which I loved. It's another brilliant rollercoster story from this author I found myself going through so many emotions reading this. I felt as if I was holding my breath while reading it.
Really hope this ending means there is another book coming soon. Brilliant read that I highly recommend. ...more

What a great story. It being told from Seth's POV was fabulous. You really know how to write like a guy! I can't wait for the rest of the story... Seth and Ava, Sterling and Carissa, Dawson and of course James.
