This is the first book I have read by this author and I find her refreshing.
This is not the heavy sex scenes, but a story of love, loss, and realizations that what you thought you needed was not really true. But what you find when you open your eyes and mind and heart can be a whole wondrous new world. I think that is what Brianna went through. A transformation of sorts to be who she was mean to be.
Definitely a good read and look forward to finding more by this author.

When did it all go so wrong? Brianna seems to have it all a great job, a loving husband to be and great friends. But everything is about to change in a blink of an eye. She wakes up in hospital not knowing what happened and when she realizes that she has just woken from a coma and that she will need to learn to walk again. But her first thought is where is Kevin why isn't he at the hospital? He has started to pull away from her and he leaves her a note saying that he can't be there for her anymore, she is heartbroken. Lucky her sexy neighbor Jaden steps in to help her get better and just to be her friend. But is she ready to put the past behind her and move forward? Just when things start going well for them Kevin reappears and Brianna decides to give him another chance. But will she see his true colors this time or will she keep on allowing him to control everything about her life? Will she be able to end her relationship with Jaden and never find the happiness that she deserves? Will Jaden give her space or will he leave her life for good? Brianna is about to find out that she was never in the wrong and that she deserves to the person that she is and not what Kevin wants her to be. A good read. Never thought that Brianna would ever look and realize that her relationship with Kevin was toxic, he was always putting her down and he made the relationship all about him. Thank heavens she found Jaden and now she can be the person that doesn't have to feel bad about what they eat, drink or even what size clothes they wear.I know why I never liked Tiffany what a snake. I was lucky enough to receive a copy via Netgalley & the publishing house in exchange for my honest review.

Loved this story. An emotional read. Perfection is not a good thing to strive for. Sometimes things in front of you are not what they appear to be. Engaging story. Recommended read

Brianna and Kevin are planning the dream wedding, but there are little hints that maybe the love of her life is slightly controlling, like telling her friends on her hen night to make sure she doesn’t eat or drink too much!!

Brianna wakes up from a coma not knowing that she and her best friend Cammy were in a car accident. The first question she asks is “where is Kevin?”

Kevin is the original yo-yo Man, one minute he is supportive and the next he has gone off the scene. Now let’s talk about Jaydon the neighbour, he is muscular, handsome, successful, loving and to seal the deal he can cook plus he is interested in Brianna.

This is such a well written book. I was engrossed fully, at one point I was going to refuse to finish this book if Brianna didn’t take her friends advice, that goes to show how emotionally involved I was.

A must read book that doesn’t disappoint!!

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy in exchange for a review

This was a really good sweet romance with a really interesting storyline this one will hold your interest all the way through. Kevin and Brianna are engaged to be married and seem to be in love that id until she is in an accident that puts her in a coma when she wakes up a week later there is no sign of Kevin and it is not long until he leaves her a note saying he is sorry but can't do this. Jaden is a sweetheart and her neighbour and helps her when she needs it but what will happen when she takes the douche back. Will she say with him or does Jaden have a chance still

Another book looking at peoples lives, I have a theme here, but this time when I closed the book the eyes got a bit leaky. However, stuff does happen in the book!!! What stuff, well not telling. I went in the book blind and its the best way to go.

I loved the character of Brianna, she has it all, seemingly too perfect but she’s happy, so we are happy no? Even I might have got a bit relationship jealous. Everything was just right, perfect. But after she wakes up from the coma the cracks are starting to appear.

This may be a short book but boy did I feel all the emotions with it. There was a shock, a lot of anger and even my little heart was filled with joy, then back to despair and hope and again and again, it was a rollercoaster of emotion. I adored the ladies in the book, the best friends you could ask for, you know they have your back and that is what you want from your friends. You don’t want to be stabbed in the back at all, no soiree so why do women feel the need to do that.

The emotion in this book is heavy. You feel the depth of the depression that Brianna feels and it’s not until near the end how suffocating things really are. The need to be perfect, striving to be a picturesque person, not really living, not quite knowing that until your world implodes.

We as the reader suspects so many things before they are revealed. The writing lends itself to us, it helps us see the bigger picture and we can only be there at the end, watching the fallout, hoping everything will be ok. Some aspects of Brianna’s life had me thinking of my behaviour and the thing is it is totally relatable. That self-doubt and self-loathing is it all of whether we accept or not is another thing. We all deserve to be loved and to have that person, your person. Irs a shame that some people have to try and control you and how you feel, never giving the freedom you deserve. That is quat Brianna deserves. She learned the hard way sue is strong, she is worthy and she can breathe again. I love Brianna’s journey, she has gone from being a shell of a woman to being a free woman, one who learns to love herself and live for herself. She is ao relatable and loveable you do feel quite protective over her, I know I did.

I can sense some people would be frustrated by Brianna decisions and behaviour and yes I did, however, it shows you the depths of how she was controlled and maintained in that relationship. She even basically admitted she couldn’t function without him so her headspace is going to be off-kilter. Plus if what happened to her happened to you, you would want answers too. All her insecurities were on show and it was sad to watch her tumble down the rabbit hole.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Its a sad story but there is light at the end of the tunnel. It so was well written and it is an engrossing read. I blocked out everyone while I was reading it. I would definitely pick up a book by this author again.

This is one of the books that made me want to keep reading from the beginning to end. I felt myself holding my breath when the tension was high between the characters. I was surprised how quickly Kevin turned into a jerk and left Brianna when she needed him most.

Anyway, I'm glad Brianna finally find out, let him go (he left before she even could kick him out) and listened to her friends. #friendshipgoals
