Roxanne Daniels was supposed to be spending her summer getting ready to head off to Julliard. That was the plan.
But that was before- Before she found her mother’s lifeless body- Before she walked in on her boyfriend in bed with someone else. Before she knew what heart shattering pain felt like.
Now all she wants is for the pain to go away. But it never does.
Until him. A complete stranger who could end up being much more.
But letting go and moving on is easier said than done.
My Review:
Without You by Reylynn PurdueMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Without You by Reylynn Purdue is a turbulent romance with a cliff-hanger ending. The story line is a bit dark and the characters are very emotive. This meaning I was ready to choke a few of them throughout reading this book. As aggravated as I occasionally became, especially with Roxy, to me it's always a good sign of the quality of writing that they can evoke this type of reaction in me.Overall a slightly exhausting and interesting read.
Excerpt:
“Full disclosure—my ex-boyfriend, who wrecked my world, is about to walk by. I’m begging you to please pretend to know me.” I knew how pathetic I sounded, but I would kick myself for that later.
He slightly tilted his head to the right and gave me a confused smile. Then, he just stood there and gaped at me. I was now seriously doubting the whole honesty-is-always-the-best-policy idea. It sure as hell wasn’t helping me.
“Roxy?” Kevin called out from a few feet away.
My insides twisted into knots at the sound of Kevin’s voice.
Please just kill me now.
I didn’t know what I was thinking.
Oh, right, I wasn’t.
I stepped forward, wrapped my arms around the sexy stranger’s neck, and pressed my lips to his.
Yeah, so this is way more than I asked from him.
Please don’t push me away.
I was trying to will this guy not to call me out. Surprise and relief flooded my body as I felt his arms wrap around my waist, and he returned the kiss. His tongue grazed my lips. I parted them, allowing him access.
Wow…
People shouldn’t just grab strangers off the street and kiss them, but damn, this guy could kiss.
