A Year Of You is a brilliant and exceptionally well written novel that grips you right from the start and covers several different subject matters within the main story. Mattie Delacort is an amazing character who has to overcome the horrors of abuse in her past, face her biological family who do not know she exists, solve a 20 year old mystery and find a way to escape the clutches of her demented, possessive and evil foster brother. Mattie has known about her family since she was a girl but it is only at her maternal Grandmothers insistence with an offer of a lifetime that promises her the funds to set herself free. This is a chance to save herself but when she agreed she did not understand the true ramifications of her decision and one thing she did not count on was falling in love. Empathising with Mattie was exceptionally easy as you cannot but connect with her character which allows you to empathise with each situation she finds herself in. You will laugh, you will cry, you will smile and you will become angry for her.Brant West is a moody musician who is dating her biological sister, but they haven’t been connecting for years and she is playing him for a fool. Enter Mattie and his world turns into a tail spin, the emotional lock these two experience is breathtakingly beautiful and every moment is hot, hot, HOT!! But is he good enough for her? Will he get there in time to save the day or will he rip her heart out and go back to her sister?I could not put this book down and found myself making excuses to sit and read as often as I could, the ending was a corker! The flow of the style of writing really pulls you in and Ashley Roland has fast become one of my favourite authors!
