Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 2, 2012
Jake & Emily are young & in love. Going to college, working & hanging out with friends, they're more or less an All American type couple. Emily, unlike most girls her age, is dealing with some pretty deep pain, though. Having miscarried four months earlier, she's not finished grieving. Clouded by thoughts of her unborn, she's become emotionally unpredictable.While Jake is very busy as a student & aspiring NHL all-star, he is grieving in his own way. Vowing to be there for Emily, Jake fights to keep their love alive. Will the baby's death be too much to overcome?Lindsay Paige couldn't have created a more picture perfect pair. As for two young people dealing with a miscarriage, their reactions are most likely realistic. I imagine this would be quite a popular read among crowds in their early twenties.Kudos to Lindsay Paige for creating a male lead who acted as more of a Romeo than hound dog even though he had opportunities. Emily's inner circle was far from supportive & her character would have been better off without them. This couple is one that you'd root for to make it, but, inwardly you fear that they won't.I'd have preferred dialogue with a bit more substance. Every time they seemed to make relationship progress, one of the 2 of them fell asleep. A word of caution to sensitive readers: these 2 spend a great deal of time in bed together. Thankfully, not a tremendous amount of detail was given.`Whatever It Takes' is the third installment in the `Bold as Love' series. Number four is in progress. For its genre & male lead, I hand it a 4 of 5 stars as it is a good fit for romantic fiction or young adult fiction as the case may be.You can learn more about Emily, Jake, & our author at [...]or [...].
