Embrace the Moment much like its predecessor Escape the Doubt is an amazing story of life, love, and growing up. Riley and Josh's story continues in this squee worthy sequel. They face some major changes in their lives and they do everything in their power to come through it as a single unit; until they meet their foes trust and distance.ETM shows us how powerful and life changing our first loves can be. Riley and Josh have grown leaps and bounds as characters from when we first met them in ETD. They have both grown up and had to make some very tough decisions that could change their lives forever. Their relationship is changing and they have to learn to change with it if they want to survive as a unit. Riley knows she is destined to be with Josh, and she's known it since the first day she met him. Josh has known Riley most of his life and the whole time she's held his heart. Enter Dean, the bad boy from Riley's past that will do anything in his power to break Josh and Riley up. Dean has the physical distance between Josh and Riley as well as their trust issues working in his favor.The "love triangle" (and I use that term loosely) is great in this book. Dean loves Riley, Riley loves Josh, Josh loves Riley, and Dean and Josh are supposed to be best friends. There are some very tense moments in this book and a lot of them  had me sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I wasn't expecting all the action that was in this book. The emotions run hot in ETM and the author does an amazing job to use music to convey the thoughts and feelings of her characters and how they feel in specific moments throughout the book.There are several steamy scenes in this book as well. The first book had brownie batter, and this one has water play and that's all I'm going to say. If you want to know more you're going to have to one click this bad boy and find out for yourself. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good love story and some suspense along with it. It's a great coming of age story and the best part is that there is more to come!
