***5 Astounding Stars***~I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review.~I would give this a million more stars if it were possible. Kate Benson has written another phenomenal book. This will be a rather short review because I don’t want to include any spoilers because I don’t want to ruin for any other readers. The Choice picks up right from the cliffhanger in The Promise. However, this one is somewhat different from The Promise. The first book was about Sophie’s heartache over losing her love, Jack, and finding love again with the “oh so sexy” Chase. In The Choice, we get to see another side of Sophie. She has grown more into a strong, independent woman. She is actually pretty feisty, and I loved seeing that side of her. There is a ton of angst and turmoil, and my emotions were all over the place…I cried; I laughed. And yes, there was a lot of panty melting sex scenes, but there was much more. It’s a book about friendship, second chances at happiness, finding your soul mate, and cherishing those you love.Kate Benson is one of those special writers that makes you feel everything she writes. One quote perfectly sums up the emotions Kate invokes in you as a reader when Sophie admits her feelings for Chase:“I’ve fought so hard to protect the last little piece of my heart that I never realized it was no longer mine to protect. Chase isn’t waiting for it anymore. It’s already his. It’s been his all along. And just like that, the final wall shatters at my feet, and I’m free. Finally, the high dive my dad told me about all those years ago makes sense, and I know this is it. This is where I jump.”That quote made me feel the depth of love Sophie has for Chase, but I also felt her fear of admitting that. In addition, I felt the all-consuming, sometimes crazy love Chase has for Sophie and the fear he has of losing her.I must warn you though that this book contains the “mother of all cliffhangers.” I am still in shock. As I have written in other reviews, I don’t mind cliffhangers. In fact, I love them, and this one has to be on my list of all-time favorite cliffhangers. I am on pins and needles waiting for the next book! You really need to do yourself a favor and download this series and get to know and love Sophie, Chase, Ana, and Drake! You will not be sorry that you did!!! Thank you, Kate, for giving your readers another heartfelt and moving book that will not soon be forgotten!
