Let me just take a moment and breathe!! This book seriously was one hell of an emotional ride. PHEW!! I didn't think I would survive that at all. My heart was forever jumping out of my chest and I for a time I wanted to throttle my kindle until it shook some sense into Dylan but thank fudge I didn't...that's all I have to say. Madeleine Beckett really stepped it up here, with all the suspense and the drama, and the emotions and the sexiness. Talk about RAWR and RAWR! Dylan is such a caveman and I don't think I would have wanted him any other way...sigh!! He can grunt and growl and pound on me any day of the week...oh shoot, did I just say that out loud...never mind!! LOLOkay, I better try and make sense of this review, otherwise I'll be writing RAWR and NOM NOM and MUNCH MUNCH throughout the whole thing...though those things are all fun and good, there was so much more going on than some ultimate sexy time between Dylan and Myra. Let's just say that Color of Forgiveness picks up exactly where Color of Loneliness left off...that mother of a cliffhanger. I could not go on another second without diving into the sequel and trying to make sense of it all. And what did I get, an emotional kick to the gut. We get to read how much pain and suffering Dylan had been going through for the last three years of his life and let me tell you, this man has been through the ringer and back, and it's a wonder why he didn't really lose his marbles in the process. It was a devastation that ruined not only his life, but his families and the slow progress that he made with Myra is just the tiniest step into the right direction. But other things begin to unravel around, including Myra's stalker and some shocking news that they both did not expect. At this point, I completely understood and was guttered for Dylan, but after a while, even though I sympathised with him, I wanted to shake the living doo doo out of him. I swear, he had me livid. Don't get me wrong, the man is a fine specimen who can thrust me up a wall anytime, but good God almighty, he needed to be slapped silly. But, I managed to work through it with him and thank God for that...otherwise I would of damaged my kindle, and we can't have that. I felt completely and utterly sorry for Myra at this point, but through it all she never wavered or faltered. She loved Dylan with all her heart and soul and stood by him no matter what and forever how long it would take for him to heal. I admired her strength, because that takes all kinds of balls to do that, putting someone else's needs above your own is such a kind act of love. I really loved that about her!As always, we had the comic relief from Susie. Geez that woman never stops with her sexual innuendo's and constant scheming and joking around. She really is funny as ever and a constant support to Myra. Jackie, on the other hand, annoyed the crapper out of me. I don't know why, but like Dylan, I wanted to grunt at her to go away LOL. I guess she is harmless but she just bugged me.I love how much we got to see Dylan's family, who welcomed Myra with such open arms, and she of course, having no one, fell in love with them straight away and was taken back by how much she wanted a family to call her own. I guess that the underlying message in this book. Without love and the support of family, then what's the point of it all. I really loved this series, and Madeleine Beckett has cemented herself as one of those authors who will forever be on your love list. Thank you Madeleine for providing me with a copy of this book for my honest review and I am so forever grateful that I got to read them and fall in love with Dylan and Myra, and the rest of the gang.
