Date: 02 18, 2014
Fool for you held me from the start pulled me into a transfixed state lost to the world around me and engrossed in the entity of Danielle and her very messed up life. It was a complete train wreck and I just could not look away as everything unfolded.Danielle 25 is our leading lady professional successful women living in New York; originally from Serenity Cove a place she escaped at 18 leaving behind a dysfunctional family and personal heartbreak....well she left the crazy family and that particular heartache with she left for New York. Only to incurred much more pain and suffering in her personal life whiles striving professionally.Bad relationship and bad relationship has left her damaged and broken forever hurt and alone. Except for her best friend Gabby....She loves and supports Danielle (Dani) providing a caring soul in times of despair.Violet, Dani's Grandmother calls upon her to take on the responsibility of the family business which her druggie mum nearly ran into the ground. Now her mum has being incarcerated an her grandparents are retired the burden is placed oh her shoulders.Left with on other option she reluctantly leaves her job and gives up her apartment to return the the town she refers to as Hell.(quote) "I needed time to wrap my head around what was happening and mentally prepare myself for what ever was going to come my way"I don't think anything prepared her for when she finally returns to Serenity Cove after 7 years and the first person she runs into is Oliver (hated him from then) the person that hurt her and left her feeling used, creating part of the reason why she felt the need to run after she graduated high school.(Quote)"Ollie was the root of my memories of Serenity, and arguable the cause of one of my biggest demons."Anxiety riddles and stressed from being back in her personal nightmare Danielle seeks soles at the local bar in the form of a one night stand.*Quote) "All I really needed was a good, random, roll around in the sack."what she did not bargain for was that her distraction and bar owner Corey would be the sweeties, gentlest, kindest, sexiest man she would ever meet, flipping her already screwed up would on its head.(Quote) "why was Corey suddenly taking over my thoughts and making my body crave his touch"Corey 27 my God this man went straight into my top 5 book boyfriends. he is everything a man should be passionate, caring, protector, friend, lover, fighter (he had to fight to over come his own fair share of problems) with a heart of gold ohh and I forgot he is also HOT as hell.(Quote) "I was flashed a heart-stopping, knee-shaking, panty-dropping smile as he showed off the dimple in his right cheek."Corey He is exactly who she needs the type of guy that is willing to do just about anything for her and love her unconditionally. But Dani being a damaged broken independent women hauling around Posh Spice size baggage around with her fight this beautiful man at every turn. she kept her walls up firmly in pace. she would much rather hurt herself than give into the Love she feels for Corey.(Quote) "My body shiver at his touch"(Quote) "After having had every single past relationship end in utter failure I was finished"Dani demonstrates just how badly someone's past can control their present and future if you allow it to be your foundation.Corey put up with a lot of her shit even watching her go on dates with other guys in order to show her just how deeply he feels and that he is willing to wait until she is ready (I dint think she will ever be effing ready).To say Dani infuriated me was an understatement. I screamed and shout at my IPad for her to wake up and smell the bloody coffee; that Corey is madly in love with her, get over your shit and stop hurting him.I read the end of this book on my way from work on the bus and I had to physically bang my head against the bell post several times (people looked at me as if I was mad but it just could not be helped).The stress Danielle put me through was no joke, her dumb decisions left me reeling I just wanted too slap some sense into her pretty little head.This is an excellent duet novel my Megan Noelle it's packed with a little of everything, Love, Romance, Sex, Family Drama, Angst, stupidity, humor, acceptance and above all the perfect leading man Corey."Just not a big fan of Men disrespecting Women"It also has an element of reality. we could all take something away from this book. Mainly that if we drag our past around with us it will eventually become too much to bear corrupting the best of ourselves dragging our souls under with all the hurt and un-forgiveness. Blinding us to something or someone amazing just because of our past. sometimes it is much more beneficial to just let things go and move on not carry them around unresolved tainting everything else.don't let past hurt determine your future take control of your own destiny you can miss out on something great just because we are held captive to the past.5 Stars from Natasha
