4 Smooches!
Synopsis
My name is Melodi White, I had a dream once like every other girl does. Then one day, my dream was torn to shreds, by my sister’s evil boyfriend, Jacob. It’s been three years since she was ripped from my life. She wasn’t just any sister; no, she was my twin, my best friend.
Deciding to follow our childhood dream of moving to New York, I head for a life of adventure and fun. A night on the town and I find myself wrapped in the arms of one gorgeous, drop-dead-sexy man, Corban. He has literally swept me off my feet, taken my breath away with a single kiss and left me wanting more, a feeling completely alien to me.
Corban Andrews, CEO of Case Construction, rich, sexy and ravishing is set to make my world come undone. I allow myself to put my trust in him, but will his rules and my trust issues let us explore what we could have together? It’s either that or am I at risk of staying lost and alone.
When a blast from my past reappears, I know I may be pushed so far down the rabbit hole, Corban and I just may not survive. It all comes down to survival and choices. I have no idea which I will choose.
Review
Melodi is devastated and angry when her twin sister, Abby, disappears and there is no doubt in her mind that her abusive boyfriend is the one who has killed her and hidden the body but due to lack of evidence he walks free. A few years later Melodi is trying to move on with her life in New York and very quickly she meets and falls for the very handsome Corban. Soon Melodi’s past and Abby’s disappearance comes rushing back to the present. Nothing is as it seems and danger is around the corner for everyone involved.
“That is why I am to blame for what happened. When she left that night, I never thought it would be the last time I would get to see her. Then she was gone, missing. My world has never been the same again, and my heart is broken, shattered into a million pieces.”
I was completely split down the middle with this story. On one hand I loved it because the plot is thrilling and exciting and really captivated me. On the other hand I thought the writing and language used didn’t always fit or flow correctly and sounded a bit young.
“This is what we needed, all of us. To let go of that anger of losing her. To move on, but never forget her. She is engraved in our hearts for time and all eternity.”
Let me start with what I loved. The Plot! It was thrilling, exciting, passionate and kept you guessing. I’m not going to say much because I don’t want to give anything away but there were definitely some twists I didn’t see coming and it was so fast paced which is what I look for in a book. The characters were also brilliant. Melodi was sweet, passionate, brave and strong-minded and Corban was the classic rich, handsome, protective alpha we all love to read about. The supporting characters such as Rachael, Blake, Flick etc were also great and all added their little something to the story itself.
“After the loss of Abby, I vowed to never trust another man again, but he brings out a side of me I enjoy, crave, and want to live for. He makes me a stronger, confident person.”
Now the slightly bad; I did think the writing and words used sounded a bit immature at times, it didn’t fit in with the story and the flow wasn’t quite there. How quickly they fell in love was just too un-realistic for me to not comment on it.
“You have stuck me back together, which is something I never thought would happen. I have felt broken and lost since losing Abby, but since you weaved your way into my life, you have helped me feel.”
If the author can mature her writing a little more this will be a 5 star book without a doubt. Despite the bad I am definitely going to be reading the next book after that cliffhanger of an ending which I didn’t see coming and I can’t wait to see the progress this author makes.
