I knew the exact moment I’d become a ‘yes’ girl.
December 16th, a cold winter’s night, four years ago.
The night my innocence was stolen, the night I made the mistake of saying no—a mistake I’d never make again. … of saying no—a mistake I’d never make again.
The dream of a ‘happily ever after’ was now a locked away myth. I promised myself that I’d never return to the place of my worst nightmare, that I’d never let anyone get close, but then again, I never thought I’d meet someone like him.
The intense, confident and beautiful Ky Crawford.
I had no plans to become someone’s Prince Charming.
I couldn’t be. I refused to be. My plan was simple—do whatever it takes to correct my biggest mistake, my one regret that now controlled my life.
I was on track. I had plans, but then everything changed when I saw her—the girl in the red jacket, the girl who I was told couldn’t say no.
The reserved yet stunning Eden Rivers.
A girl who can’t say no.
A guy who craves redemption.
A chance encounter?
It all comes down to this.
One question.
One month.
Be My December?

I loved this book. I had every emotion imaginable while reading this book. The author delved into some heavy topics in this book and I felt every emotion the characters felt. I absolutely loved Eden and Ky. I’d say my only complaint was the fact that we knew he had a secret that he was keeping from Eden and the fact it took forever for the truth to come out. I had a few ideas of what it was while reading and in the end it was exactly what I thought it was. I get why he was scared to tell her. But the way she found out definitely wasn’t ideal. But other than that I thought the book was wonderful, and the story kept me captivated I could hardly put it down. Will definitely read more from this author.
A decent read with elements of intrigue and redemption.
I enjoyed Eden and Ky and characters and a couple.
My complaints were that it seemed to take a awful long time for them to connect. Ky’s back and forth initially made it hard to know what to think of his actions. There was also some elements of confusion regarding how Josh and Ashlyn fit into everything early on.
I am curious about Josh’s book.
I just had one of my biggest kick myself moments, I can’t believe that I have not read a Rachel Brooke’s book till now, I mean really, I have followed her on Facebook for I don’t know how long am part of her readers group and just never read her book, well today I can say thank god I did. I can’t believe it has taken me this long, I am really annoyed with myself.
Just finished Be My December and what a book this was, the writing was on point, the story was unforgettable, the characters were beautiful and I just can’t go on about this book more.
Eden was a beautiful character, she was tough, strong, and brave but she never saw this in herself and tried to be someone else, if it wasn’t for one night that changed her she would have had an amazing life, but one man took it all away from her and she had to live with it everyday. When work brings her to the place she ran away from she did not know her life again would change forever. The struggles that Eden lived with daily and what she went through and what she would go through again, it felt that even though I just didn’t want to imagine what Eden was going through the way the author wrote these scenes were perfect, as much as I just wanted to close my eyes and not read what was happening and didn’t want to happen I just loved the way Rachel Brookes made you feel the sorrow, and I think I really hurt reading this and I love it when an author makes me feel this way, I know sounds weird but it makes me know that this story is hitting my heart and that is the best thing.
Ky would have to be one of my favourite male characters, he wasn’t rich, he wasn’t alpha, he may have been hot and protective but it was for all the right reason. Yes he was intense and at some points I would sit there and say come on mate settle down, I still wouldn’t change him for the world. Ky was a man that I would certainly want in my corner any time. The way he felt so protective over Eden was awesome and she needed someone in her life like this, even though we always say that men don’t complete a women’s life, I really loved seeing what Ky did for Eden to bring her back to life.
I loved all the other characters like Josh, Ashlyn & Tori and they fit into the story so well. For me this was an amazing story about tears, triumphs, and bravery. I loved this was a nice long read (but I am a slow reader) but I felt nothing was left out, I felt that Rachel wrote such a beautiful story that everyone should read.
If your into books that have a little suspense, secrets, triumphs, hotness and an amazing story this one is for you.
If I could give this more than 5 stars I would but this for me was a lot more and I loved everything about it.
