I keep waiting for it, waiting for this story to get interesting. I get that Tiffany has been through a lot but it just seems as though sometimes a character can be to strong and complex and with the three kids I just see she had to much going on in her life. It was hard to like Blake. So complex and harsh and tried to fix everything by throwing money at them.

3 STARS. This was an awesome book. I could really connect with both of the main characters, Tiffany and Blake. Both with their own struggles that lead back to the same person. I loved how it can be a stand alone read but also is the 4th book in a series. Very good internal monologue for both characters. But a little more detail between the relationships of the other characters would have been good. Since this is the 4th book, and I'm reading this series for the first time, a little background is always helpful. I'm a person that likes to read a series from the beginning. I will be getting the other books because I liked the characters in this book and I'd love to learn more about them from the 3 previous books.

"You want me. You want maybe as much as you hate me"

Blake is a hard man, used to using his money to fix any problem he thinks is his to fix. He wants to protect his family, mostly his mother from his estranged brother Phil, and the wife and kids Phil claims he has. So he does what he knows will work and he pays the wife off to never contact him or his mother.

Tiffany has had a hard life since she met and married Phil, all she wants is to provide for her kids and to live her life without fear or disappointment.

When Blake and Tiffany meet again, Blake begins to realize that maybe he was very wrong about Tiffany and what kind of person she is, and that maybe she is a victim of Phil, just like everyone else. He also starts to have some very pesky feelings about Tiffany that don't fit the way he lives his life.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, while Blake tries his hardest to be unlikable, Tiffany is brave and strong and the perfect catalyst to change Blake's life. I received a free copy of this book for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Rated 4.5 Stars

I love all the previous books in this series but I think this one just might be favourite of the bunch. I'm not sure exactly why that is, maybe the author dipped it in extra special sauce nonetheless I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved both Blake and Tiffany and watching them fall for each other. I loved watching these two damaged souls create something so beautiful out of an ugly situation. I think the author did a great job of portraying growth and change within the characters within the period of time the story takes place in. I also enjoyed the taboo element to the story.

I'm feeling a bit bittersweet as I loved the book but I'm sad that it's the last book in the series. I highly recommend this book and series.

WAIT FOR IT is a pretty accurate name for this book. It is the fourth installment in the series, EVERYTHING I LEFT UNSAID and we had to wait patiently for Blake & Tiffany's story. Let me tell you, it was worth every minute of the waiting. I LOVED this book! I think I enjoyed it more that the previous ones. As always, Molly allures us with her amazing writing and with all the feelings she can bring from us when we read her books.

This was a quick read for me because it was impossible to put the book down. The story is so addictive and that's thanks to the situation the main characters are involved in. Their relationship is kind of forbidden and it makes it that much more appealing.

Tiffany Edwards has had a rough life. Her husband abused her both physically and emotionally for years. She was broken and damaged, but she is also strong and she gets up every time she's pushed down. She needs a change in her life, she has three kids depending on her. She needs to give them a life they deserve. The safety and comfort they deserve. And in order to accomplish that, they need to be as far away from the man who was supposed to take care of them, but only hurt them instead. She’s desperate now and the only way she'll successively protect her family is to ask for help. She has to receive help from no other than her brother- in- law, Blake, again.

Blake Edwards has spent his life solving problems, one of his biggest problems was his brother Phil. A year ago, he found out that his brother, Phil, had a wife with children, and in order to help, he payed her to vanish and stay away from his family. Now, when he saw her again, he realized he made a mistake and now he wants to make it right. He wants to help Tiffany and her children. He wants to give them what they deserve and to erase all the bad that his brother Phil did to them.

Tiffany doesn't want to trust Blake. She’s tired of putting trust in people and then getting hurt, but she has this undeniable attraction to him and despite what she thinks is wrong, her body betrays her whenever she’s in Blake’s presence. He is her ex-husband’s brother, but she thinks she deserves some happiness in her life.

Blake wants Tiffany for the wrong reasons. He wants to make her feel good and desired, but he doesn’t want more and he can't hurt her again as his brother did. But he wants her.

This story was totally gripping from page one. You will want to know what will happen to these two main characters. They are living their passion in a wrong way, they think they need to surrender to their carnal desire to feel good, but what they really need is to change. They have to break down the walls they have built. They are good for each other and they need each other to be happy, they just need to realize that before it's too late.

I’m positive that you will love this book. It's very sexy and erotic with a beautiful ending.

Review will be posted on the release day

Seriously love this series. I love all the characters and I get so sucked in I can't help ignoring the world. Tiffany and Blake have it all crazy backstory, whole lot of drama, tons of chemistry, pride and baggage. But all in all it's the chemistry and push and pull they put eachother through that made this one such a good read. I love seeing this little family of characters have even more happiness.

Great Read!

I'm a big fan of Molly O'Keefe & read everything she writes. That said, though I loved the first two books in the Everything I Left Unsaid series, I struggled with book 3, Burn Down the Night. I fell hard for the cover model (come on!!!!!!!!!), but not for either of the principals. I was also biased against it because I wanted more of Blake & Tiffany and I'm not crazy about motorcycle clubs or their members. But! This is a review of Wait For It, and truly, I'm so glad I did - because it more than makes up for my disappointment in Burn Down the Night.

Quick note: if you haven't read the first two books in the Everything I Left Unsaid series, this review probably won't make much sense to you. You could read Wait For It as a standalone and enjoy it, but you'll be missing quite a bit about the shared history between Blake & Tiffany. Also, they're terrific books & you should just read them for that reason anyway.

Blake is closed-off, controlling, and angry. He's Dylan's business partner (we got to know a bit about him in the first two books) - and Tiffany's brother-in-law. When the story opens, he's just learned his COMPLETE LOSER/ASSHOLE/DICK + ABUSIVE HUSBAND brother, Phil, is married and has three children - or so she says. Phil's gone when Blake pays Tiffany a visit (at Annie's behest) and before the visit is over, he's insulted her, insinuated she's lying about the kids, and paid her off - warning/threatening her to stay away from everyone else in his family. For Blake, Tiffany is just another problem he has to solve. But Tiffany shows a strength he doesn't expect, and when he finally does leave, he's not sure who had the upper hand in the conversation.

The story jumps forward and this time we're in Tiffany's PoV. She's on the run, once again, from Phil on a rampage. He's tracked her and the kids down and she's only barely escaped through a window with the kids. With nowhere else to run she heads to her friend Annie and inadvertently interrupts a company holiday party. Flustered, she tries to leave but not before Blake catches sight of her and follows her to her car.

Tiffany is a mess. Five years ago she was a freshman at college in Florida when she met Phil and fell for him. When she wound up pregnant, she dropped out of school and left her family behind to marry Phil and raise their son. But life didn't turn out like she hoped. After five years dealing with his abuse she's used the blood money Blake paid her to create a new life for her and the kids. But Phil's found her again and though she's escaped him - for now - she's nearly broke, on the run from her horrible husband with her kids, and face to face with Blake, whom she both fears and hates.

So that's the set-up. I don't want to spoil the relationship between Blake and Tiffany except to say that despite my doubts about them ending up together, Ms. O'Keefe does a remarkable job developing their relationship. Their shared and individual past history casts a long shadow and affects nearly all their interactions, nearly derailing their relationship before it ever has a chance to begin. But spending time together seems to help both of them heal the scars in their past, and allows them to cast off the chains tying them to Phil and his destructive influence.

Ms. O'Keefe does an excellent job with Tiffany's story arc - watching Tiffany discover her own strength and open herself up to Blake's tender protectiveness after years of abuse is truly inspiring. I particularly loved how she linked Tiffany's sexual awakening with her emotional growth. A date/hook-up in a hotel room is intense - through their individual PoV's we know how deeply it affects both of them, & their chemistry is off the charts hot/dirty/fierce and sexy. I read this sequence more than once because it's just so delicious. Oh Ms. O'Keefe - you really know how to write the sex in sexy.

Blake is appealing - I love how Ms. O'Keefe slowly peels away the layers of his personality to reveal a tender, vulnerable, NEEDY man who just needs the love of a good woman to let down his guard for good. He's sexy & a terrific match for Tiffany. I loved his careful and protective feelings towards her and his willingness to do whatever it took for her to feel safe and ready to accept his love. I also liked his interactions with her kids - and his awareness of just what they needed to feel loved as well.

I did have a few problems with this story. First, there didn't really seem to be a middle - when the story opens Tiffany and Blake are enemies. It doesn't take long for them to transition from enemies to lovers and then to partners. Though I enjoyed the lead up to their relationship, I felt like the story needed a bit more relationship building; I also struggled with the final few scenes featuring Phil. I kept expecting him to reappear & when he didn't even try...well, it just didn't ring true to the character for me. And lastly, Tiffany's family history clearly troubles her but Ms. O'Keefe doesn't fill in enough of the blanks. Her parents are jerks - but why? Why was her dad so dismissive of her and her sister? What's the root of his disdain for them? Why did the mother cowtow to him - did she always? I had so many questions and not nearly enough answers.

Complaints aside, Wait For It was indeed, worth the wait. I still think Everything I Left Unsaid is my favorite in the series - but it's close. This one is similarly excellent.

I think this is an incredibly sexy, short and sweet book. I loved both the characters immensely. I wish the heroine would've communicated her concerns a little sooner, but other than that the progression of their relationship felt realistic given their circumstances. Though, I did find the hero's epiphany a little quick-paced, but not quick enough that it felt forced, rather if you re-read earlier scenes, you see he was hiding what he was feeling, giving away to the insta-love.

Tiffany makes a deal with the devil. She takes Blakes twenty thousand dollars and promises never to come back. Blake doesn't want his mom to know about Tiffany but sometimes your brother is to messed up and you need to fix his problems.
Tiffany knows she can turn to her friend for help. She needs a lawyer to get Phil out of her life for good. So her and her kids can be happy. But when life throws Blake at her even though he's Phils brother the chemistry is sizzling and pulling them towards one another. Can th we two stay out of each other's way? Because really, Tiffany doesn't like the man very much since he paid her twenty thousand dollars to disappear.
Can Blake let someone in or will he buy his way out of Tiffanys life?

Right off the bat, you want to hate Blake, but you can't b/c of his honesty. You know what you are getting right from the start. But then....

Tiffany is running from her abusive husband with her 3 kids in tow. The LAST thing she needs is to run into her soon to ex's over bearing, cocky, attitude laced brother. But of course that is exactly who she finds.

This is an intense at times read, where you want to reach through the pages and shake both Blake and Tiffany. It makes you want to scream at them to wake up and see what is right in front of them. It was a non stop read for me. I finished it in one setting as I found it hard to put down.

Wow. this book I couldn't put down. Blake always cleaning up his brother's messes. Dealing with his brother's ex-wife by paying for her to leave, comes back to haunt him. This book is a must read.

Read the first 2 pages and found that this was not the book for me. Sorry.

Interesting and amazing read, I will have a review posted on ibooks on release week!

O'Keefe is a brilliant emotional author taking readers on a roller coaster ride with a beautiful satisfying ending. Tiffany and Blake got the story and ending they deserved. I would've loved even more at the end, but I was happy for the series wrap up we received.

WAIT FOR IT is book 4 in the <i>Everything I Left Unsaid</i> series by M. O'Keefe. This is the erotic alter ego of Molly O'Keefe, who writes contemporary romances. Both pens names share the strong use of characters at rock bottom. Any book of O'Keefe's will drag you through unbelievable heights of seduction and crashing emotional lows, leaving your angst-ridden heart sobbing on the floor as you turn the pages, desperate to know how the characters will reach their Happily Ever After. I adore that! While this book is part of a series, it is not necessary to be familiar with the other characters before diving into Wait For It. The characters from other books are shown here, but are by no means the focus.



This story is told in alternating first person points of view by Tiffany and Blake. We first met Tiffany in book 1, Everything I Left Unsaid [please make this a hyperlink to my review of the book: http://freshfiction.com/review.php?id=56524], when she was living in a run-down trailer part with her three children, trying to stay away from her abusive and spendthrift husband. Blake is her brother-in-law, and when Blake first finds out about Tiffany and her purported marriage, he assumes she's out to scam his family. He pays her off with $20,000 to stay away from them. Since Tiffany is barely scraping by, she grits her teeth and takes the money so that her children don't starve. I really like Tiffany- she's no nonsense and practical. She is honest, a hard worker, and would prefer to make it on her own if she could. Her unfortunate life brings her back into Drake's orbit, however, and he realizes that he needs to make up for his past sins.



There is raging sexual tension between Blake and Tiffany, which is so delicious. Blake behaves in the lifelong patterns that he has set for himself, trying to control everything with money, including sex. This makes him a prime horse's ass, in my opinion. While I understand why Tiffany sleeps with him (think How Stella Got Her Groove Back), I do wish for her to stand up for herself more in the beginning. Wait For It is not as filthy as previous books in the series, but the bedtime antics will still leave you breathless.



In this series, O'Keefe brings us bad boys who meet their destiny in the broken women who teach them to love while they stretch their own wings and learn how to fly again. O'Keefe always makes me cry bitter tears of disappointment that lead to relieved sighs of profound happiness when the dust finally settles. WAIT FOR IT is a solid entry in this erotic romance series, full of angsty goodness.

For everyone waiting for Blake and Tiffany's story, know this: it was everything and nothing close to what I expected.

Ever since Blake and Tiffany circled and snarled at each other in that trailer park, I've been itching for their story. I just finished reading their gut-wrenching story and am still waiting for my heart and head to stop spinning.

While there was the knife edge of fear running through Annie's story in Everything I Left Unsaid and that same blade of desperation in Joan's story, Burn Down the Night, Tiffany's story is pure pain. Her abusive husband's cruelty stripped her down to a desperate shell of herself. So full of fear and pain and terror that she's practically feral in her inability to trust herself or the kindness of others. Blake similarly has withdrawn from the world into a cold shell of man who throws around money to fix problems. But really, it is Tiffany who hangs in the balance.

Unlike the bad guys in the Annie and Joan's stories, I was taken aback by how internally and emotionally Tiffany and Blake's story unfolded. Tiffany used her words, her body, and her fears to strike at Blake over and over, but it was her internal doubt and fears that caused her the most pain.

I can't say any more for fear of giving away too much, but how Blake and Tiffany finally connect (and I mean outside the bedroom) was so fraught with tension and emotion that I found myself holding my breath. I absolutely loved that they could both, in their own ways, start tentatively reaching for something good instead of instinctively flinching from something bad.

But as much as I enjoyed it when Blake and Tiffany finally came together, I had serious issues with the ending. It happened far too quickly and the book ended far too abruptly for there to be a real sense that Tiffany and Blake were going to be really, truly okay. There was no epilogue, not even a quick check in with Dylan and Annie or Joan and Max. I can only hope this means there's another Everything I left Unsaid installment someday.

WAIT FOR IT....was so good I hated to put it down.. Blake and Tiffany had a lot to overcome and some of it was heartbreaking .. but the journey was well worth the trip. This is my first book by Molly O'Keefe and I look forward to reading more of her work. She took me into their story and I felt a part of it...love that when reading a good book. Thanks NetGalley for the chance to preview this book. I will post a review on Goodreads and Amazon when the book is published.

Of the books I've read from the series this is my favorite one by far. Molly has consistently shown the angst and hardships of her characters for some reason this one was done in such a perfect manner that I flew through the book in one night. The pace was perfect, the timing was perfect, and the characterization was by far impeccable. Molly writes characters that are truly believable and characters that are both heroic; there is no damsel in distress in her books. This is probably why I love reading her books from start to finish. great job!!

Requested and received an ARC from NetGalley

I wasn't a real fan of Burn Down the Night but after reading the synopsis I decided to give this series another shot. I really enjoyed the first 50% with Tiffany doing her best to get out from under Phil to protect her kids and trying to get ahead on her own and the fact she'd go toe to toe with Blake despite her fear. She was finding her inner steel and it was enjoyable to read. My problem came with the sex. MOK knows how to write a hot sex scene, but there's a dark edge to it in both books I've read in this series that I find unpleasant. It seems to be some twisted knot of manipulation and a power grab...so I ended up skimming the sex since it wasn't working for me. Other than the weird vibe with the sex it was a pretty good contemporary romance all the way up until the very end.....which wrapped up WAY to quickly. With all the complications of their family and their push and pull relationship there is no way it would wrap up in one night like that, especially with 3 kids. That last scene how they ended up would have made a great scene in an epilogue set a few years later but ending it like that in the present was an epic fail for me.

This is my favorite M. O'Keefe book so far and that's saying a lot since I love all of them. Blake is a rich powerful man who will do anything to break his enemies and protect his family. Tiffany is a survivor who's trying to raise 3 kids alone. I couldn't put this book down once I started reading it. Their roller coaster ride of a relationship hooks you from beginning to end. The honesty, anger, authenticity, and red hot romance -- all of it makes for a great read. Loved it!
