Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! That ending is one hell of a killer cliffhanger! I swear I can't believe it finished off like that and I am reeling in desperation to find out what the hell is going to happen. I seriously yelled out loud when I found myself tapping my kindle to turn the page and it would budge. Madeleine Beckett, what have you done? You really know how to keep us on our toes and wanting more, especially after that!! EEEPPPI found myself at the beginning trying to get used to the story being told in third person (which was easy to overcome) and it was a little slow to start. But then, I fell into this groove and got sucked into the story and felt a connection with the characters. And boy, did I feel all kinds of things! I felt how sad and lonely Myra was and how desperate she was to escape her life and the ex who put her through the ringer and back. She found herself moving back to her hometown and into her Grampie's very old and totally rundown home, which she inherited on his passing. What's even more depressing is how alone Myra is. If it wasn't for her best friend Susie, whom is totally off her rocker and so freaking hilarious, Myra would have no one to talk to or confide in. I swear though, the things that flew out of Susie's mouth had me laughing out loud, and very relatable too.Since the house that she is living in is falling down around her, Myra has no choice but to hire a contractor to do the work needed to make it liveable. And, here is where the story really starts to pick up...drum roll please...Dylan Lawson at your service. Talk about HOT, ROUGH and TOUGH!! RAWR!! This man had me quivering in all the right places with his "HELLO LIPS" line to his no bulls*** attitude! OMG he really made me go goo goo and every time I read his POV I couldn't get enough. This guy was angry and in so much pain, and needed to let off a lot of steam!! And boy oh boy, did he ever! The tension between these two was building up and up, and every time you think they would do something about it and pound it out, something or someone interrupted. Talk about being frustrated LOL. I loved the chemistry and foreplay, and the dancing around. But what irked me a little, is how we never got to find out why Dylan was so angry and hurting so much. He was putting off what made him leave his life and family behind, and why he was so put off with Myra at the beginning and why he hated himself and everything around him. I felt his pain, I really did and I want to know what is holding him back. And just when you think that he is going to spill the beans, we are left hanging and gasping! Thank God I have the next book lined up, ready and waiting for me to jump into.I really enjoyed reading Color of Loneliness and I would like to thank the author, Madeleine Beckett for providing me with a copy to read for my honest review. I look forward to reading the next book in line and I honestly encourage you all to take a chance and read this book, I know I'm glad I did.
