copy for honest review
Blake, Love love love him Tall sexy and what a sweet guy who doesnt love a strong sexy solider.
Candice I won't call her candy I hate that name Volunteer in a war ravaged country.
she wants to make her deceased brother proud, Boy she sure makes him proud, loved that she a such a strong woman,
I liked the story, it was a little slow in places but luckily those places were few and quickly gained momentum again.
I wished some of the other characters were a bit more fleshed out Grey and Sally especially.
Hopefully we'll follow them in the next book
Every book need a good villain, unfortunately I'm not sure Blake's brother Jason fulfilled that role very well, It was obvious he'd never be a match for Blake, Plus Jason was a total creeper, watching his brother have sex yuck
Tiffany Blake's "ex" OMG, I wanted to pull her hair out what a spoiled bratt
would I recommend this book.
YES I most definitely would recommend
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This review contains no spoilers
This was an emotional rollercoaster: there's really no other way I can describe it.
Well, that's not really true, I could describe it a billion different ways but I'm pretty confident that
the term I just used, it's the one that encompasses everything that has crossed my mind
in last couple of hours.
You see, it has everything,
Don't believe me Then I'll prove it to you,
Sexy billionaire with piercing green eyes and that trademark irresistible smirk Check,
Fiery heroine with a smart mouth, the kind that won't back down even if their life was on the line
Check.
Actionpacked story, suspenseful attentiongrabbing scenes, tearjerking AND laugh out loud moments
Check,
And of course, let us not forget how could we, lots, and lots and lots of hot, sexy, dirty,
alltheawesomeadjectivesyou'rethinkingofrightnow bits.
Huge bits.
Hehe, see what I did there
Ultimately, this story could've been the textbook for "Second Chances".
I really think someone should just teach that course, by the way: it's needed, Get on in. Stat.
Blake and Candace: two souls that went through so much and, either if you wouldn't guess it in a million years, belong together.
But then again, you might've guessed it,
With all the, you know, flirtatious vibes, :
It was my first time reading Autumn Ruby and you can bet your pinkie I'll be back.
And can only guess what is coming, but I'm already loving it,
Let's just say that if what I read about them in this book is any indication, the couple on the way will have you kindles steaming up.
Oh, how I love a good banter, WOW!!!
Honestly its not often I come across a new author with there debut book and it blows me away.
. . Autumn Ruby has done that, . this book is undoubtedly AMAZING and a must read by EVERYONE!!
Crossed forces is packed full of action and suspense and honestly keeps you on the edge of your seat, I loved how it went in to so much detail that you honestly feel like your living the story.
These characters are just absolutely amazing and Blake is just yummy, Candy is absolutely perfect for him and I just prayed for them to find there HEA.
Throughout this whole story I went through so many emotions, times I could have quite easily jumped the book and fought for these characters myself.
I smiled so big with this book, I really didnt want it to end,
Autumn Ruby has without a doubt produced an amazing story, . definitely deservesin my eyes deserves so many more, I definitely recommend this book to anyone, My top read so far this year, Well done on a fantastic debut book, Crossed Forces is a debut book from a new author duo,
Blake and Candice are the two characters that have an instant connection while serving their country.
Blake is a wealthy man in the services and Candice works for the Peace Centre in South Sudan.
Blake ends up being brought in to the Peace Centre to heal after an accident, That is where the two meet, They are from England and are thrown together in a country where violence surrounds them, And their past losses is what keeps them there,
The setting and storyline is unique, but beyond that, I didn't feel a huge connection to the characters and their story.
They have chemistry and the intimate scenes are plenty, but what kept me coming back was the action, the suspense and the"behind the scenes" of South Sudan.
But even then, I felt there were a few plot holes throughout, Nothing major, but enough for me to skim some of the pages,
I really enjoyed Candy's character for the most part, She was strong and had a good head on her shoulders, She did things for Her and what she felt was right, She went against the grain and was a female character that I can get behind, She wasn't weak nor would she let someone control her, I like seeing that in a female lead,
Blake was our typical alpha bad boy that couldn't be held down until the right lady came along.
He is wealthy and comes from a good, strong family,
These two have many bumps and bruises to conquer along the way, But where will all the action and their family get them in the end
The story is a good base for these debut authors and leaves room for further books with new characters and even add in to Candy and Blake's story a bit more.
I enjoyed the Britishisms they included and look forward to their stories growing and succeeding with each book in the series.
"Make today awesome, so yesterday gets jealous, " to come! I enjoyed this,and look forward to reading more! Autumn Ruby's debut novel is full of emotion that pulls at the heart strings and never let's go amongst other things plus with an ending that questions everything you've ever read before in your whole reading career.
I seriously cannot wait for the next book in the Cross series by these amazing first timers.
I was gifted this ARC from the authors and freely give my review
Candice and Blake is meeting under unconventional circumstances.
Can love grow when war and destruction is surrounding two people who feels the connection
In the beginning I had difficulty connecting to the characters but they worked their way in to my heart through the story
What I liked:
Lots of emotions
No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
Seriously hot love scenes
Emotional and sweet, feelings are well described
Both Candice and Blake has experienced loss so they have some similar references to life experiences.
Lots of dialogues which I love
Good storyline
Secondary characters that makes me want their story too, omg Grayson
Leaving me feeling happy and at the same time hopeful for the next book.
For a debut novel this is really good, I hope this duo keep writing many books and perfect their writing cause this was a strongstar read.
I was gifted an ARC in exchange for an honest review
I absolutely loved this book, it had me crying from the prologue but then had me laughing from chapter.
The relationship between candice and Blake felt real from the beginning and even though Blake was the rich play boy you cant help but love him.
Candice was such a strong character even after everything she goes through, she still holds her head up high.
A couple of things were quite close to events that have happened in my own life which is probably why I loved it so much.
For a debut novel you know that these ladies are going to go from strength to strength and I cant wait for more.
Based on the title and teasers I started to read this book with a prototype in my head.
What I read was kinda this but also way MORE than this and at the same time nothing like it at all! The book left me pleasantly surprised and craving for more!
The story had me blown away.
When you read a book by a debut author you never know what to expect, No idea about their writing style or if you'll fall in love with the characters, But by the time I was finished I was literally blown away! There's just something about the broken character that gets me every time.
This book has so much potential to achieve,
The story will hold you a hostage and the characters are definitely going to play with your heartstrings.
Candice and Blake meet under unusual circumstances but they definitely evoke strong feelings, This book is filled with action, drama and suspense that'll keep you on the edge,
This duo are once amazing team, You guys don't want to miss this one, What does a person
go through when they are surrounded by war and destruction Lets throw in a little heartbreak, sadness and drama as well.
Combine all these together with plenty of heat and sexiness and you can find yourself reading Crossed Forces by Autumn Ruby.
Candice, Blake and Grayson are enjoyable characters to read, I love the friendship and banter that exists between Blake and Grayson, They make for some funny times, Candice and Blake have both experienced loss in their life, which allows them to empathize with the other while growing closer.
This book was an incredibly emotional read with lots of ups and downs and heart stopping twists and turns.
The characters were strong yet lovable and I was rooting for that coveted HEA, For a debut novel, this duo wrote an incredibly wideranging emotional, dynamically written story about war and love and loss.
Heres to hoping we get a story about Grayson fingers crossed, With all the angst, drama naughtiness and love, this book is a well recommended book, Enjoy this allencompassing novel!!
Ok seriously This book was AHHHazing like really!!
And that cover fan myself
Being friends with the authors makes my reviews a little bias but Im blunt so here it is
Ok just a little.
. . cant give anything away sorry not sorry
But seriously I have a girl crush on Candice she was just everything amazing and I want to be like her when I grow up
And guys Blake was just all kinds of yuuummmtotheeee
All around this book had its ups and downs for me but i firmly truly loved love and when it goes live I highly suggest you one click ASAP
plus
Xx
Mel As a California gal, I loved reading this book with all its British flavor.
This story has interesting, believable and full characters, Candice is a amazing soul trying to live a purposeful life after a devastating loss, Blake is a rebel and bad boy that also has his own helpgiving mission, Within this book you go on a roller coaster ride of events, You experience war torn countries, life after an injury, dealing with family issues, but mostly importantly you get lots of deliciously steamy interplay to keep the intrigue high.
wink wink. This story has angsty. It definitely has naughty. Most importantly it has emotional, The side characters gave added hilarity and depth to what I think already is a great story.
Tapping finger on chin Are we being teased about future storylines! Lets hope so clapping my hands.
Definitely a recommended book. Happy Reading!!!.
