to follow For the love of God, if these two MC's weren't fictional, I would shoot them myself,
The H is a sadistic, poorpitifulme bastard still obsessed with his dead wife, The h makes HarleyLand tstl, spineless heroines look like Margaret Thatcher, Sorry, I can't think of anyone else at this point,
The h wants to help the poor angsty hero despite the fact that he treats her like dirt, worse than dirt, He is a fricking pig,
Cruel and cold rejection happens time and time again, but she's, "Yes sir, may I have another, "
Once upon a time, Nick was in love, It was a love so deep and abiding, he knew nothing, and no one, could tear them apart,
He was wrong.
Death happened, and it left Nick an empty shell of the man he used to be, Angry at the world and filled with unbearable pain, he lashes out at anyone who comes close,
Especially Chris.
Unable to admit it to himself, Chris is the only person who makes him feel alive after years of grief, Only she can make the dead organ in his chest beat again, and he hates her for it, letting her know at every opportunity,
Will Nick give into the incessant attraction he feels for Chris Or will he go too far and lose her forever double standards abound
if the roles were reversed and the hero pursued the heroine like this, he would be a damn twisted weirdo
if she rejected him the way he rejects her, she'd be lauded as the strong feisty kickass heroine
either way, they're both damn sickos
and Amazon or whoever chooses the genre what are you on about
where's the romance

,in Romantic Suspense Kindle Store
,in Romantic Suspense Books
,in Contemporary Romance Kindle Store Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn the passing of Laurens heart.
While it was strong, a book by Alex Grayson destroyed it, leaving nothing left, It was a good heart for Lauren, but alas, it wasnt able to withstand Nick and Chris heartbreakingly good romance story, In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the “Fund of Too Many Feels” to benefit other readers who are battling the same illness to which Lauren succumbed,
Thats right. You heard or well, in this case, read me, Alex Grayson broke my heart with Awaken Me, Where I thought I was once strong willed and emotionally unshakeable, Grayson has taken the biggest sledgehammer she could find and tore down my walls like a sheet of paper trying to withstand a category five hurricane.
Even days later, my heart remained buried and broken because of this story, At one point in reading this novel, I told my coblogger that I should snatch up stock in Kleenex before the release of this book because Id make a killing in the increased demand.
This is the by far the most emotional book I have ever read in my two years as a blogger and over twenty years as a reader, It is simply stated a marvelous read,
This is the part where I would normally break down the characters or the plot, but I am not going to do that this time, I am simply going to talk about how much this book has completed this series of beautifully broken characters needing redemption, a second chance, or even a chance at all.
Grayson has taken tragic romance and morphed it into romance shrouded in darkness and the tears of her readers, Awaken Me not only concludes the series, but combines every little detail that I loved about the Jaded Series and wove it into one gritty and beautifully written book, Grayson had the right emotional connection and combination to hit you just the right way at precisely the right time, Awaken Me hits the emotional ground running and doesnt let up until the end,
Ill even go so far as to admit that this series will be one I greatly miss as Grayson as stepped the final “The End” onto the last page.
While I used to be hesitant about emotional romance novels, I find myself seeking them out like a long, lost friend, Through reading Alexs books, I have learned so much more about myself and my emotional capacity to understand and feel tragedy and pain, even if it is fictional, Shes also given me a better understanding about how love doesnt have to be found on the straight and narrow path, Sometimes the greatest kind of love is found at the end of the most dangerous, curvy, and painstakingly scary path, That is the kind of love that is worth every drop of blood, sweat, and tears that falls for it to be imagined,
I want to finish off this review by actually thanking Alex Grayson for giving me the Jaded Series world, Even as I faced my own personal tragedies over the last year, your books gave me hope that even at the end of a darkened tunnel I will find peace and happiness again.
Holy mother of pearl this book wrecked me, Punched me in the gut, consumed my soul, messed me up, The angst, ye gods, the angst! It was intense,
as in being hit by a freight train intense, Nick was such a freaking bastard!!! I totally got that he was grieving and immersed in sorrow but that didnt give him any right to be such a cruel goddamn dick to Chris.
The pain that woman went through because of him was just unbearable, I cried, then I cried some more, and then, yep you guessed it, I cried even more, Nick was such a stubborn ass who thought only of himself and indulged in his misery, My patience wore off really quick with him, Chris was such a kind and sweet person, He completely and utterly destroyed her, Im talking complete TKO of her heart and soul, This book was so angsty, featuring so many of the classic intense drama tropes that it was easy to predict a lot of what was going to happen, However, Im an angst whore and absolutely loved it, I savored the emotional pain and suffering, ate it with a spoon, And it wasnt just one or even two super intense situations of angst but one after another after another, It was like going into a dessert buffet and being overwhelmed with greed over the vast array of pies and cakes, I just grabbed all the desserts and stuffed my face into them and came up for air wanting more and more, And man, did the author deliver and then some! Nick was such a prick that I was really worried that he wouldnt be able to redeem himself but he really did.
Were talking groveling, weeping, not eating or sleeping level of redemption here, It was intense and delicious, I started this book sometime this evening and only put it down to make dinner, I could not stop reading it and absolutely loved all of it, Its nowam and while my body will be unhappy with me later today due to lack of sleep, my angst addiction is extremely satisfied, Are you a fellow angst whore Do you like extremely hurtful asshole heroes who do aand completely redeem themselves Do you like long suffering heroines who endure so much emotional pain from the hero that they eventually just shut down Do you enjoy super intense heroine almost dies and hero almost loses his mind over it scenarios If you answered yes to the above, read this book!
I very much appreciated the three epilogues and that they covered an extended amount of time.
I felt that they were very much needed for a story like this and and were brilliantly executed, A/read. Loved it!.
