Never Let You Go
Never Tear Us Apart #2
Author: Monica Murphy
Reading Level: Adult
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Released: May 3rd 2016
Review Source: Random House Publishing Group

The second novel in this darkly sexy contemporary series from bestselling author Monica Murphy wraps up an emotionally powerful two-part tale of forbidden love.

The truth hurts, they say—and my pain cuts deep. While I was falling for Ethan, he was deceiving me the entire time. He held a huge secret, protected by his lies. When I discovered what he was hiding, the truth shook my world, threatening to ruin us forever. Ruin me. But I soon realized that what we share can’t be destroyed.

The connection between us is too strong. It always has been. I can’t deny him any longer. And I can’t deny my truth: I’m in love with Ethan.

I don’t want to let him go.

While we’re trying our best to make this relationship work, other forces are fighting against us. My family, who wants to keep me safe. The media obsessed with my tragic past. The public that feeds off of it. Even Ethan’s father—the man who nearly destroyed me all those years ago. He’s doing his best to finish the job.

Despite my love for Ethan, the doubts creep in, clouding my mind. Is he worth the pain? Will our love survive, or will we have no choice but to end it—end us—once and for all?

This is an Adult romance novel recommended for ages 18+ due to sexual content and mature subject matter.

Katherine was kidnapped when she was only 12 years old. She was abused and raped by her abductor and almost killed. Then one day, she was rescued by the kidnappers teenage son, Will. He grew up thinking of Katie often and lost touch and didn't know where she was until she did an interview on T.V. where Will was able to find her again. While his father Aaron is in prison awaiting the death penalty, he still somehow seems to haunt them from inside his prison walls. Even though his own son changed his name to hide away from him, he still manages to find both Katherine and Will and makes their lives hell! It was crazy to read this.

Never Let You Go was a very interesting read. There are two kids going through so much yet come out on top strong. Even stronger when they meet back up as adults and get to know each other on another level. Learning to leave the bad behind and to focus on the future, makes this read heartwarming. They make the best of it together.  Yes, there is hard to read how they end up together and some might not like it as he is a monsters' son. However, Will is nothing like his father and only wants what is best for Katie and protect her at every turn. Just because one person is at fault, the other cannot be at blamed.

This is a sad story that you can feel the emotions of what these characters lived through. The words will break you into pieces. Never Let You Go is a story of loss, feeling constantly in fear of the unknown and having to look over your shoulder. Yet a love story with a happy ending.. If you enjoy stories like this, then you have to read Never Let You Go.

Book Review: Everything I Left Unsaid by Molly O'Keefe



Everything I Left Unsaid
Everything I Left Unsaid #1
Author: Molly O'Keefe
Reading Level: New Adult
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Released: October 13, 2015
Review Source: Random House Publishing Group

Fans of Jodi Ellen Malpas, K. Bromberg, and Joanna Wylde will be unable to resist this sexy, deeply intimate tale of a woman running from her past, and the darkly mysterious man who sets her free.

I didn’t think answering someone else’s cellphone would change my life. But the stranger with the low, deep voice on the other end of the line tempted me, awakened my body, set me on fire. He was looking for someone else. Instead he found me.

And I found a hot, secret world where I felt alive for the first time.

His name was Dylan, and, strangely, he made me feel safe. Desired. Compelled. Every dark thing he asked me to do, I did. Without question. I longed to meet him, but we were both keeping secrets. And mine were dangerous. If I took the first step, if I got closer to Dylan—emotionally, physically—then I wouldn’t be hiding anymore. I would be exposed, with nothing left to surrender but the truth. And my truth could hurt us both.


Everything I Left Unsaid follows Annie who's got a big secret she's running from. And, it runs her straight into Dylan. Things get hot, lessons are learned, and Annie finds herself in this coming of age steamy book!

Molly O'Keefe you did me good, girl! I absolutely enjoyed Annie and Dylan! It's been a while since I had my hands on a New Adult book, and wow what a great one to pick up! I totally ended up loving Annie and talking a walk in her shoes *wink*wink*

Annie has pretty much been sheltered all her life and had decisions pretty much made for her. She had no voice and she had no control of her own life. It landed her in a very bad spot that she had to run from. Her character arc was great. She first sees herself as some weak person who has to keep her head down and not even think bad thoughts. Dylan immediately lights a fire in her that can't be ignored though. Annie quickly lets go and lets herself experience new exciting things that she never thought she could've done. And Dylan walks her through Every. Single. Step. It's exactly this that adds that hot steam to the book. And the icing on the cake? He's a complete mystery to Annie. What does he look like? She doesn't find out until the end and the anticipation is killer!

I won't say too much more and spoil the book for you but if you enjoy hot reads, and swoon worthy guys, pick up Everything I Left Unsaid. Meanwhile, I'll be over here adding Molly O'Keefe to my "automatic buy" list.
