Being able to take his love of reading and transform it to a passion for writing has been the greatest gift he has ever been given.

I've been waiting ages to read something form Anthony ever since I gobbled up The Suicide Princess last year.......and boy, it was so worth the wait.

I love Walk Through My Door. It was funny, sexy, sad, happy and I was even laughing out loud at a few bits.......'You say Tomato, I say Tomato'.....LMAO.....it doesn't quite work in print but that's what made it so funny.

I enjoy reading books written from the guys POV, I find them to be more funny because you get a glimpse of what goes on in a guys mind. I love it.

I cant wait for more from Anthony, if he keeps writing like this he will fast become one of my favorite authors.

I don't even know where to begin on this book. Anthony - you have left me speechless, again.

"I'm not running away from you, Lauren. I'll only walk with you, hand in hand."

Walk Through My Door is very much an emotional rollercoaster and I loved every word of it!!!

Adam will truly tug at your heart. He's a single dad just trying to find his place in the world. His devotion to his son is very touching and endearing. I felt such a strong connection to him, which is very rare for me with male characters.

Lauren is going through a really rough patch in her life and marriage. She is separated from her husband when she runs into Adam. I truly could understand every obstacle she faced and felt her struggles.

From their first run-in, to every moment in between, their romance moves at lightening speed yet they take their time getting to know one another on a deeper level.

The chemistry between Adam and Lauren is real, raw and extremely intense and strong. I love how true to life this story is. You feel each and every emotion that these two go through - passion, fire, confusion, anger, fear and love.

"Her warm embrace was tailor-made for me, and I was going to cherish every moment we had ahead of us."

I could not put this book down once I started it. I had to know what would happen with Adam and Lauren. The one thing I absolutely love about this story is how it is told. It's written through each of their eyes - Adam and Lauren explain each and every part in their own way. And when we go back to those times they remember, I can easily picture every moment. I feel as those I'm living through it.

Anthony wrote this book flawlessly. It is a true love story with the naughtiness we can expect from Anthony. His writing will suck you in from the beginning and leave you breathless.

Nothing I can say will even come to close to giving this book the outstanding review it deserves. Walk Through My Door is one book that I will tell everyone that may must read. You want a real love story - this is it!!!

Really...it's 2.5 stars. I like the unique idea of tying music directly to the book. Just the story feel very flat to me. Lots of "posing" (name dropping designer shoes, taking about colognes, etc) not much substance. Lots of unanswered questions. Had a strong dislike for the heroine. Hated the ending.

I thought I had rated this one already. I didn't like authors writing style. Story was disjointed and I didn't feel for the MCs.

WOW!!!! Anthony Bryan has done it again!! What an amazing book!! Definitely gets 5 stars from ( wish I could give more)!!! This book seemed to touch on things in my life. So crazy!!! Loved it!! AND I think the most awesome part that it's from a guys side.. It's told by Adam.. Its focused on him. Usually with most books it starts with a girl than a sequel from the guys POV. It was such a refreshing change!!! This book will have you reading from the first page to the last without even realizing that you've missed breakfast, lunch, and possibly dinner lol!! So brilliantly written!! Especially to have a cliff hanger at the beginning of the book!! Genius!!! I don't want to put spoilers out there so I keep biting my tongue. I want to tell you all about this book cause it was FREAKING AWESOME!!!! I love how well Anthony wrote out his characters and the storyline. It's family orientated, along with the flirty, sexy, and fun parts of a new relationship.. And of course the sex scenes!! HOT!HOT!HOT!!! This book really make you feel all of the emotions that the characters feel and really takes you into another world.. And Adam.. OH Adam.. if you're looking for THE perfect book boyfriend look no further. Adam takes the cake! I think I am claiming him as my book HUSBAND!. Ha! ha!!! I am just filled with so much emotion that I am stunned and speechless!! Love this book!!! OMG I can't say it enough!!! This has definitely given my the BEST book hangover EVER!!! I better stop before I start spilling details and spoilers and ruin this amazing book for you. I'm telling you I think Anthony Bryan has really out done himself! I will be rereading this book and I don't do this much if at all.. I want more of Adam!! Be sure to get your copy and stay reading ASAP!! My friends will be getting this recommendation from me (even my male friends)!! Thank you soooooooooo much Anthony for this amazing book! Keep putting out books!! You Rock!!! Love all that you do!!!

I was really excited to read this book. After I read The Suicide Princess, which I LOVED, I was eager to see what Mr. Bryan brought to the table with his second book. Walk Through My Door did not disappoint.
I don't write spoilers, but I will say that there were so many little odes of wisdom throughout. The storyline tied together perfectly. And the humor was awesome, I laughed out loud several times. I truly enjoyed the banter between Adam and Lauren, but there were several times I wanted to throat punch Lauren. In the end, she got her sh*t together and redeemed herself.
Adam was such a well developed character and I loved seeing this first person POV from a man who isn't your classic--screws all women and says f*ck the world. Adam is a real person, a real man, and yet he was still very alpha.
The sex scenes...Nelly is playing in my head right now. Holy hotness, Batman.

WTMD was a great read and I would highly recommend it.

Received an ARC. I like to give honest opinions without spoilers. I have kids so reading was interrupted but I managed to finish pretty quickly. Talk about an emotional roller coaster! The main female character pissed me off with her indecisive personality. The main male character was swoon worthy. All in all it was a quick read. I hated the ending. I wanted more, which means it was a good book. I did however feel like it missed something but I cannot pin point it. I've waited to post this review because I thought it would come to me but it hasn't. But as I was writing the book I figured it out. One of my favorite parts of a book is the epilogue because I want to know what happens in the after after of the story. It kind of is what makes me smile at the end of the story. That what this was missing. This book was a hot steamy read!

Tears of sorrow, tears of laughter, tears of joy words can't describe what an emotion roller coaster you will encounter when reading this fantastically out of this world book that Anthony has created.

You are drawn in from the prologue and can safely say you are drawn along for the ride.
I personally love Adam and the way he sees life and the way he lives life but I got so emotionally choked on his look at a mummy tummy.

I have a love/hate relationship with Lauren she is trying to find her life but old habits die hard for her but people are getting hurt in the process.
Greg I do hate with a passion but his fighting a little bit to late for the people he has lost and his pulling his weight to try to keep what he knows someone else wants in my jealousy is a bitter pill.

A fantastic 5* read

5 Crazy Ass Must Read Stars!!!!!

I absolutely died when I read...

"Leave your heels," I matter-of-factly told her. "Always leave your heels on."

Anthony Bryan is back! I've been waiting to read more from Anthony since reading The Suicide Princess and boy was I not disappointed! I was sucked in right front the beginning and didn't put my kinde until I finished. (It's 4 am so I'll be the one with a book hangover tomorrow.)

This book was so freaking good. I laughed, I cried, I ugly cried, I got my heart broken, and I got so pissed that I wished I could be the one to deliver the punch. Oh, and let's not forget about those steamy moments. Two words...Panty. Melting!

The best part of reading this was the EPE! It made reading it that much more enjoyable and I felt more connected to the story.

This most defintely a Crazy Ass Must Read!

ARC provided for an honest review.

I really enjoyed the premise.
I feel jipped though. too short. I wanted more.
when it came to Laurens pov it was the same conversation that I just read in Adams pov. so I skimmed some of that.

the 'scenes' were excellent. I loved that it wasn't like the typical scene a woman would write. worrying about this or that. BC or Stds. just straight up gettin to it.
it's also real. real life choices and a real life situation. Descriptions were beautiful. Character development was well thought out as well.

I want to look for roses now. another great story from anthony.

After a few days after finishing the story, it's still in my mind. Hoping for a followup to their journey. Thoroughly enjoyed.

I received an advanced reader copy of walk through my door - this book blew me away!!! Literally! I loved the characters - they were funny and had so made ups and downs. I read through the situations with them -I felt happy, excited and at times my heart hurt for them. Anthony you have made me feel such much emotion from this book.

I received an advanced copy of Walk Through My Door and began reading as soon as it was in my hands. I could not put it down and finished in just a few hours. I loved it!! It was refreshing and different and worked amazingly well! The characters were great and it was nice to see the script flipped a bit. Won't go into that because I don't want to give spoilers. I loved the highs, lows, the humor, the sex!! This book has some hot and steamy sex scenes that will leave you panting for more. Anthony did a fantastic job creating real life characters and real life situations. I would highly recommend this book to everyone!!

More please...

I read this book in one sitting.. and it was everything I wanted and so much more. A "real" story, with relatable characters and everything from sweet to steamy moments. I hope there is another one in the works, Mr Bryan, because this is definitely a story to be continued.

I guess I'm in the minority in loving this book. It was just meh for me. The storyline between the two just seemed to move quite quickly in the beginning and went from getting to know to being in love so soon. I'm also not a huge fan of the cliffhanging books so was left a little disappointed in this ending.

The sex in the book was HOT. Love that he used a Mother and not just a twenty something. As for the story line I loved it, however felt cheated. Wish he would have carried on with HEA. Maybe we'll get either a novella or a full length book to complete this story.

I have been looking forward to this book from Anthony Bryan for a while and he so delivered!

Walk Through My Door is real life romance and I have to say I loved it! I certainly enjoy my billionaire CEOs and tattooed bad boys but this book was a refreshing story of real life people.

Adam and Lauren are both single parents who happen to take their kids to the same park. Their chemistry is instant, strong and perfect! They have that quick connection of not only sexual chemistry but personality as well, they are funny and witty and just fit.

Adam, ohh Adam! I can’t say enough about how much I love Adam. He’s such a wonderful man. He’s a great father, he’s strong and he’s adorable and FUNNY! He’s that kind of character that I couldn’t get enough of, I just wanted to know more about and what he was going to do next. He so captured my heart right from the beginning.

Lauren is a relatively new mom struggling with her separation from her husband. She knows what she has with Adam is very real but is still dealing with the demise of her marriage. I do have to add that at times she wasn’t my favorite person. As much as I wanted to love her as much as I did Adam it just didn’t happen though. (And not a knock on Anthony Bryan, she is a wonderfully developed character, I just didn’t always love her decisions.)

The connection between Adam and Lauren felt so natural and true that I was really rooting for these two to make it. They were funny and relaxed together and yet had a sizzling sexiness too. There were definitely some twists and turns I wasn’t expecting but the story truly did capture my heart.

I think Anthony Bryan deserves a huge high five for his incorporation of music into the book! BRILLIANT! This was one of my favorite features that I enjoyed immensely! If you don’t have a QR code scanner I suggest you get one because this is something that you don’t want to miss! (I downloaded one just for this book!)

Walk Through My Door is written from both characters’ POV and I think Anthony did a great job getting into the minds of both Adam and Lauren. Their story felt very real and was one I had a hard time putting down once I started. Anthony Bryan is certainly one of those authors I will read no matter what he writes and I am SO hoping to see more of Lauren and Adam in the future.

I can't even begin to tell you how amazing Walk Through My Door is... I became a huge fan of Anthony Bryan last year when I read The Suicide Princess! He was the first and only Male Author I have read anything by and have been waiting a year and a half for him to release something! It was so worth the wait...this is the first book I have read in a long time that was actually about REAL LIFE, which I absolutely loved! Anthony takes you through so many emotions in this book and they are real, raw emotions. You feel love, happiness, sadness, and definitely wet panties!!! *Wink*

I loved Adam's character, he is a true smart ass that had me laughing my ass off! He is also true book boyfriend/husband material. Everything about him is genuine. He is an awesome single dad that loves his son Brody to death. On the weekends he takes his son to the park to play and thats where his life changes. He meets a girl that he falls hard and fast for!

Lauren is the girl from the park. She is a single mom, separated but not divorced from her husband. She falls hard for Adam and his smart ass ways. But can she truly give herself to Adam, when she is still trying to fall out of love with her husband? Can she live with out Adam? I love the journey they take together... I think anyone could relate to this story in some way. Their relationship is a bit of a roller coaster and I enjoyed every bit of the ride! I laughed (a lot), I cried (thanks Ant), and fell in love right along with them.

Quote:
Just remember, it's alright to build a wall, but only as long as you leave a door to invite the right people through.”
“I like that,” I said with a smile. “If I do just that, would you like to walk through my door?”
“I so want to walk through your door.”

Anthony “You! Are! Something! Else!!! as Lauren would say! You definitely bring us stories that are unique! You are a brilliant Author with such a gift for words! Not to mention your ability to make panties drop with your sexual imagination. Ladies...you will not be disappointed! I can't wait to see what else Ant brings to us in 2015!!! Highly recommend this book and of course the Author!

If you know Anthony Bryan's Suicide Princess, this is nothing like it lol

I am very tempted to give 1 star for this novella for the fact that you tear your hair out at the dumbness of one of the main characters(not greatly put but no other way to describe it)....maybe two of them, depending on whose prospective you view it from. Yup more than one. Dunno what that's called but two sides of the coin comes to mind! That alone right there invoking that kind of emotion definitely deserves the 5 stars I've given this Novella.

The first paragraph for me hooks me straight away! Reading through, you get a sense of that love at first site moment or a naaaaaaaaaaaaw...cute, kind of moment. The story takes flight through the lives of those involved allowing you to be that fly on the wall! It also as a reader draws you in as part of the storyline! I really enjoyed that very much! Technological reference(way kewl by the way) puts you in that particular moment in the story.........you'll see what I mean when you read it.....and you should definitely read it.

There is even a Rocky kind of moment where(if you were me) you became Rocky practising your fighting stances and punching fresh air with a 'F@$? YEAH!

The story touches briefly on a very real issue a lot of people deal with everyday., however briefly it does touch on the subject, it still hits you in the gut, especially if you know and love people dealing with this everyday!

I leave you with a quote this story reminds me of. A quote by Author Kristy Bromberg.......'time is precious, waste it wisely'!

Well AB you did it AGAIN, but this time in a completely different manner. Because that my friend was the BEST reading experiance i've ever had.
What an amazing story, i was hooked from start to finish. Finally a book REAL people can relate to, REAL emotions, REAL struggles, ugh everything about it was just amazing.
The connection between Lauren and Adam was fantastic, the banter, the flirting, the sex. Everything was perfect. I loved how quickly and easily they fell for each other, however not everything is easy for the couple. I wont give anything away, i'd rather you went and read it for yourself ;)
There are two parts of the book that stood out for me - Lets start with the first date. I have one word for this - EPIC! I laughed so hard, it was everything a first date should be, easy and fun.
The hospital scene is the part that made me cry - ugly cry. I kid you not, there were snot bubbles,mascara streaks and everything. The story Adam tells Lauren is so sad, but beautiful too. It just clarifys even more how much Adam and Lauren are made for each other.
The music - OMG... Amazinggggggg!!!! I have never ever seen anthing like it in the all books i've read. Its a unique take on a playlist, usually i bypass the music, this time i was so intrigued, i just HAD to listen. Not to mention how fitting the songs are to the scenes in the book.
Anthony Bryan did an astounding job with this story, i dont feel my words did this book justice. Go buy it, i can honestly say - You will not regret it.

I reviewed this book on behalf of A Kiss Down Under book blog...

Walk Through My Door was not at all what I expected, I was thinking single mom meets single dad falls in love end of story. How wrong I was, this story brought out a lot of emotions in me, I laughed out loud, I got angry, cried a few times, it was just a all around good book to read. The banter between Adam and Lauren really kept the book going for me, the humor that Anthony Bryan brought to this book was awesome. His writing is spot on makes you want to keep reading and not put it down, I enjoyed the males POV on this book you got a look at how a man feels in a break up, how he deals with his emotions. Both Lauren and Adam were very strong people they held their own in certain situations, I loved that.. The chemistry between these to characters was off the hook there was a never a time where i was thinking okay that's enough, it grabbed me and held on. After reading this book I can't wait to read more of Anthony Bryan's books. Definitely a must read...

I received this book in exchange for Review on behalf of A Kiss Down Under Book Blog.

I absolutely adored this story. It was so real and contained so many issues ALOT of people go through in daily life. Adam is amazing, the normal bloke next door type, not your usual billionaire chiselled alpha but he didn't need to be. Having him be a single dad also really impressed me too, I'd love my own Adam!!
Lauren was written brilliantly, her inner struggles were very well played out and although at times I wanted to shake her for her choices, I understood them! I also have to mention that the Sex scenes in this book are HOT!!!
I would love to read more of Adam and Lauren. And I'll definitely be looking at more books from this author!!

WOW!! This is a great book! (Just like Mr. Bryan's book, The Suicide Princess!) I liked that the book is written from both perspectives and that it is simply not the same information during those times. But that it truly is from each perspective. I also liked our hero. I liked that he loved his son. I liked that he had friends. I liked that he seemed to be believable character. I understood our heroine after reading more. She is a complex character; however very believable as well. I enjoyed this book and really enjoyed the ending!! Great story, great book, great author!

Wow!

The ending will cause your jaw to drop. Anthony Bryan always brings the heat...always! This is not your grandma's romance novel. There will be sex scenes that will curl your toes, but there is always a deeper story too. If you're looking for a great story with some HOT sex scenes, you should be reading Anthony Bryan.
