Collect One Dance For Case (Possessed #2) Imagined By K.L. Donn Volume
Donn did it again!
I am amazed at this authors way of tackling issues, how she tells her readers that everything and anything can be overcome, just like her heroines does.
Yes, we know its fiction, and her menCase here, are too good to be true, but us women can dream, right
One thing that stands out, is the fact that through Evie, she KL Donn tells us that although real life adversities give different reactions, us women can rise above it all as long as we believe we can.
Thanks again, KL Donn!Stars Just OK/Good for me
OK, after reading the first book in this series I was beyond excited to get this one but sadly it fell flat for me: I liked both characters but yet I still found quite a bit "missing" for me to truly invest in their story and their characters.
I had a hard time genuinely connecting with them but yet I still adored them as well, . .
I wasn't so keen on the execution of the storyline itself to begin with, I understand the author introducing us to Case's character and I was fine with that but I felt it got bogged down in Dom's story, was just kinda "boring" for me and because I had read Dom's story awhile back amongst other books, I was not in the absolute "loop" of that storyline.
. . I forgot a lot about it so I felt "lost", It took too long for the main characters to meet up and then when they did even that part was weird, This is what I mean the execution of their storyline was disappointing for me:
I hate to be a downer but unfortunately this story just didn't do much for me at all but that's ok because I don't plan on giving up on this author anytime soon.
This story was just a minor bump in the road for me and this is only my feelings as I am sure most will love it and that's fine: Just because it wasn't a great read for me doesn't mean others won't fall in love with it! One Dance and Love Riveting.
KL Donn does it once again, A story you never want to put down, This story left me speechless, The love between Case and Evie couldnt of been more perfect, KL Donn as always left you wanting more and more, Definitely a book I did not want to put down, When a KL Donn book is released she moves up my TBR list to IMMEDIATE read! So When I met case I couldnt help but fall in love with a his Alphatastic and protective love for Evelyn.
Wanna see an example of this perfect OTT alpha Well I am going to provide one anyways because I need to,
Good God is Case perfection immediately as he says perhaps one of the sexiest lines I have heard an alpha say!
“Maybe if you stopped letting strange fucking men put their hands on you this wouldnt be a problem.
”
Then to sweet as hell romantic things like this:
As she began to crumble in his arms, he let go of her hair, leaning forward so his chest was to her back, he whispered in her ear,
“Let go Ev, Ill catch you.
”
"I will never give up on you, baby,” he promised,
As you can tell I clearly had a thing for
Case, From a heroine who is full of strength and bravery to a broken hero who mends his heart, KL Donn delivered the best yet! MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS
I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review
Well what can I say other than I absolutely loved this book.
Having read other books by K, L. Donn I have come to love her style so I was eagerly awaiting her next read and was not disappointed, So to break it down, . .
Overall what I loved about this book, other than the awesome plotline, is that you got snips of each characters history throughout the book and you learnt about each one with the other one i.
e. you would hear from Ev about where he love of dance came from when Case did, though obviously some bits were laid out for example the beginning of the book was dedicated to us understanding Case's back story.
It really made you full in love with the characters as they fell in love pulling you further into the story,
Now to the characters, Ev she was a breath of fresh air, Often when someone is as erotic dancer, different authors put different spins on it and it can be hard to image that life and how it came to be unless you lived that life, but this one I loved because I could really imagine how it happened and Ev wasn't a typical person "tough nut/independent" though she did have those elements.
Rubbish start in life, love of dance, being a pole dancer to support her family, Family is the most important thing to her which I can definitely relate to, and she has a super vulnerable side which I am glad comes across before Case is involved for the reader.
Case he is not what I expected at all, Well, who wouldn't love him, Knowing immediately about his leg, then his downward spiral into drinking was tough to read, I was heartbroken for him that something this awful could happen to him and I was only likechapters in and it felt like he had no support.
I just wanted to help him so when Dom came knocking, and he went to help with Dee and Jax, it was great to see what I would consider the real Case.
When he then met Ev and immediately knew she was his everything, I about melted into my seat, That intensity was really well written and I could really feel it, Ev was one lucky girl, The scene when he is on the roof top with her, OMG wanted to cry and the romance,
I guess to conclude, the storyline I loved it, What I enjoyed about this one, and is different from your typical romcoms, is there is no twist that breaks them up, it is great actually as rather than me thinking "who is going to mess up and how will they get back together before the end of the book", I got to enjoy the supportive nature of a relationship, Case helping Ev though the tough time with her sister, Andy and Marcus Ev helping Case with his nightmares, Case support Ev in her love of dancing even though he was uncomfortable with his all of this to me is what a real relationship is, and it was nice that someone wrote this without the need for a huge breakup scene.
You could just love the characters and their story,
The only criticism I have about the story is that I would have like it to go on a little bit more the end "one month on" I would have liked to see maybe how Ev's sister comes along with rehab, how Ev/Case get on with the pregnancy/being parents, what Job does Ev do or does she continue to dance and what does Case do for a regular job or does he have money saved.
. . perhaps another book
I am a huge fan of Case, he was a broken warrior just wanting to be loved, He was the perfect savior for Ev who deserves to be saved, Great couple. I had read the first in this series a while back and you definitely need to be all caught up to really get the story, This author is one of the best at Alpha Obsessed guys, .Stars!
So there were lots of things I loved about this story, and a few things that I didn't, . .
The story follows Casey, a war veteran who suffered an injury while serving, He struggles after his discharge and grows a strong bond with his friend Dom and his family who we all know from book, In comes Evelyn, a stripper who has dealt with many issues growing up and living a tough life trying to survive for her nephew,
I enjoyed the story itself, and loved the growth we see between Casey and Ev, They heal each other and it's really touching to see despite their issues how they come together and see past everything,
"I will never give up on you, baby," he promised, "Your mine, and I fully intend to capitalize on that every chance I get, "
Eva was your typical martyr who preferred to suffer in silence which I wasn't a fan of, also I would have liked if Casey was a bit more alpha, he seemed pretty blasé about their relationship at times.
I understand he was dealing with his own demons and issues but he constantly seemed to back away from the relationship,
Anyways! It was an overall enjoyable read and I finished it in one sitting, Will definitely be reading the rest of the books in this series as they come out :
ARC provided by author in exchange for honest review This book has everything! Hot military men, beautiful women and plenty of hot steamy sex!!!
I feel in love immediately with the characters and the chemistry between them is amazing!
The story will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions and definitely
left me with a book hangover!
k.
L. Donn is a talented author and I can not wait to read more from her!! All the feels, This story made me feel so much for both Casey and Evelyn! And I know that its going to linger, It was so good. Compelling. Do you ever wonder what it's like to have no one who loves you To be forced to do things simply because of a situation you couldn't get out of Eveyln Moore knows these feeling more than anyone.
Beat up, raped and just trying to survive, Ev is just looking to escape the hell she lives in everyday,
Casey Risley's hell comes in the form of a prosthetic leg, a drinking problem and PTSD that he can't seem to get through,
These two need each other than either of them are willing to admit, But every time things start to look up, the other shoe drops, Case will do anything to be with Ev, and Ev will do anything to keep those she loves safe, Can they meet somewhere in the middle and finally find their HEA
KL Donn is one of my favorite authors for one main reason: the shit she writes is so spot on and she gives zero fucks if it's to taboo or real for you.
She writes because the words need to be heard, The emotion this woman evokes in a book, the hurt the love the angst and everything in between, is off the charts, Ev and Case belong together, and even though this book is considered instalove, nothing is ever that easy, Prepare for an emotional rollercoaster, for your heart to be torn up and for one of the best love stories yet,
