REVIEW:
Wow! Megan has outdone herself once
again! She left us with that horrible cliffhanger in Trying Not to Love You. I
got right into the book that I finished quicker than I wanted to. I felt that I
read it way too quick that I had to reread it right after I finished. The
second time was just as amazing as the first time. There’s
a lot more drama in this book, that will definitely keep you on your toes.
Kenzie is on her way to her
doctor’s appointment, where Hunter is to meet her. She never shows, but Hunter
does. He panics when he realizes it is unlike her to be late to anything. When
it comes to his attention that she has been involved in an accident where her
car goes off the embankment and she needs to be airlifted to the hospital, his
whole world stops. Hunter lives his life for Kenzie (whom he calls CC) and
their unborn child. He will do anything to keep them safe. He will never
forgive himself if something happens to them.
The doctor’s needed to perform
an emergency C-section to save the baby. CC suffers from a broken wrist and
ankle. CC took most of the impact, pretty much saving the baby’s life. She has
been kept in a coma the entire time, hoping to recover consciousness on her
own.
Because of the coma, CC missed
a week of their son’s life. Hunter was an amazing man and did something not a
lot of men would do. He stepped up to the plate. Hunter took care of their son
as best as he could, while still trying to take care of CC and hoping she wakes
up. The father and son bond was created that week. Hunter became a natural. His
love for CC truly shows. He would spend all his time with the baby and with CC
until she would wake up.
When CC finally wakes up and
she realizes that she has missed a week of their son’s life, she is filled with
nothing but guilt. When Hunter and their son needed her the most, she feels as
if she failed them. Hunter and CC have such a connection that goes beyond sex, that he can sense that something is wrong. They can just look
into each other’s eyes and it gives away exactly what they are feeling. The feelings
they have for each other go beyond just love, they are soul mates. Hunter reassures her that she did her very
best to protect him and that she saved him by taking most of the impact. It is
love at first sight when she sees him for the first time. Now they need to try and adjust to life with a newborn.
CC can’t help but feel that
everyone is keeping something from her, but no one will fess up and tell her. She
hates the fact that they are keeping her out of the loop and keeping things
from her. They have always done that to her growing up. Her family felt that
keeping her in the dark would protect her and keep her safe. When things
finally get out of hand, her dad confesses that he’s been keeping something
from her for years to protect her and keep her safe. This completely pisses CC
off. Everyone knew. They should have just been honest with her and still kept
her safe. Feeling hurt and betrayed, CC cuts her family off for a bit.
Someone from Hunter’s past
comes back into his life. Someone he wishes he would never see again. Someone he
wants to stay far away from his family. It is his duty to protect CC and Ryder
and this is one person that he must protect them from. He desperately wants to
tell CC all about his past and who has come back, but he doesn’t want to stress
her out more than she already is. He wants her to focus on recovering. Hunter wants
to find out why he is here after all these years. How did he even find them and
what will he do with them? But until he gets all those answers he must keep him
a secret from CC. But when will it be the right time to tell her news like that?
How will CC take it when she
finds out the truth? To know that Hunter, the one person who she trusted and
told everything to, kept something so big from her? Will she feel betrayed all
over again? Will she be able to forgive him? When they both hear the entire
truth about everything, will they be able to stomach it? Hunter will learn some
secrets kept from him as well. Will he be able to handle them and still support
CC? Will they both be able to handle what the outcome may bring? Is this
something that they can recover from together?
Or will this be the breaking point?
“I can conquer the world with one hand, as long as you are holding the other.”
Mason and Hailey are quite the
pair. Their relationship is very hot and cold. You can never tell if they are
together or not. Hailey spends a lot of time pissed at Mason in this book, but
it’s only because she is looking out for Kenzie. She hates the secrets that are
being kept from her best friend. But you can tell that Mason is truly trying to
make the relationship work. I love their back and forth banter though, but I
really wish they could get their act together. Hailey is still the old Hailey
that we all know and love.
Jailynn and Cooper are a
different story. I have no idea what their story is. They say they aren’t
together, but yet they’re always together. They spend the night together, but
yet, they haven’t slept together. It really makes you wonder what is going on
there. Cooper is the biggest player among them, but he seems to be changing,
since he’s spending every minute with her. Can he finally be a one woman man?
Or will he get bored and want something different?
I received an ARC for my honest review.

EXCERPT:
"Damn dude, keep that shit in your pants. You’re going to scar my
nephew."
This time CC, Cooper and Jaylinn were laughing. I glared at all of them and
walked over to the door, counting backwards.
"How’s Chaos doing?" Cooper asked; taking the seat I’d just vacated next to
CC.
"Chaos, huh?" CC asked. I turned to look over at her, wondering if she was
going to tell Cooper that we’d decided to keep the name.
Cooper smiled, "Yeah. You know he was born in complete chaos."
CC winked at me before looking at Cooper, "Well Coop, meet Ryder Chaos, Ryder
meet Uncle Coop but please, Mommy is begging you, don’t grow up to be like
him."
Jaylinn started laughing, "Yeah, please don’t."
Cooper stood up and came to stand by me, glaring at the girls. The door hit
me in the back and I stepped forward for Mason to stick his head
in.
