Consolation

After reading the first paragraph in this book I knew I had discovered something really special. This book has invaded my soul, & has completely monopolized my thoughts for the last 24 hours. And I have a feeling it will continue to linger with me for a while.

This is the type of storyline you can completely submerse yourself into, it will evoke so many emotions, and leave you completely breathless. The characters in this book have stolen my heart and left me yearning for more. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of Conviction (Book 2)…

I guarantee if you pickup this book you will not be able to put it down….it’s addictive!

I already knew I loved Corinne’s writing with her first two books. But these two OMG!!!! My heart ached for Natalie and what she had to endure. Then Liam shows up and HOLY HELL I was up all night! I couldn’t put it down. That ending. My heart was ripped out, stopped on and I couldn’t get a hold of myself. I went right into the next one. This book will not disappoint you. You will fall madly in love with Natalie and Liam and their story.

I do not even know where to start. Corinne Michaels, this books is amazing. I loved Catherine and Jackson, but Liam and Natalie’s story blew me away and touched my heart.

Though the story starts out with heartbreak, we eventually see Liam and Natalie find a path to each other. Two friends who could not be more right for each other, though it feels so wrong. They fight their guilt, because in the end, they can see how right they are for each other.

Liam, the best friend, the man with the heart of gold, who opens his heart to the woman who should be off limits and her daughter and finds salvation. Natalie, the widow, whose heart is broken and who’s world is turned upside down after the death and secrets of her husband are revealed.

Can they find love and a future together? What if she does let him in? He is a SEAL through and through. Can she survive loving a man like that again? Can Liam open his heart to a woman who belonged to another?

This story has so many what ifs, but its what makes it an amazingly sweet love story about two people finding each other when they need each other the most. And that ending. All I can say is I cannot wait for the second book! I need it now!

Would I recommend this book? Yes, without hesitation. It is a great read! I cannot wait to read more from Corinne Michaels!

Happy reading!

Holy crap girls be ready and I mean get your Kleenex some wine or whatever alcohol you require then grab some depends. As hard as I cried is as hard as I laughed . Natalie’s story is hard and I love her she is my favorite female now and you will love her. Now we have the hotness that is Liam he is swoonworthy and he is perfection. This grabs you from the start its compelling and I wasn’t able to stop reading ,sleep who needs that? The writing is exceptional I’m beyond blown away. I can’t say much spoilers and all but this is beyond 5 stars this is a MUST READ Corinne has surpassed everything I was expecting.#Liamiscoming

Brace yourselves. Seriously, BRACE.YOURSELVES!!! I wasn’t prepared for what I endured. I didn’t realize that my heart was going to be kidnapped. I had no clue that I would cry uncontrollably over one word, or scene, or touch. Like it came to a point where my stomach was up in my throat, looking for a way out. Author Corinne Michaels’ words hacked me into little pieces. Consolation literally took my breath away.

When you think of a heroine, what is the first thought that comes to mind? Annoying? Immature? Or what about Perfection? Natalie, is the epitome of perfection. Sure there may be a few cracks in her foundation, and there are many reasons for that. But it doesn’t take away from what Author Corinne Michaels gives us. She gives a headstrong, love with all she has, sweet, kind, and downright phenomenal heroin. Natalie paved a nice path for future heroins to come. I loved every little piece of life that Natalie shared. That she made. That she showed. With those little cracks that I mentioned before, the love actually grew ten fold. Natalie is going to take you on an uphill journey, like she did me. She has a lot to give us. Even more than I first thought possible. Natalie has to blossom in a way that proves her strength and even weaknesses. But I want to point out, Natalie perseveres in a way I thought unimaginable. Life shows her the ugly, and with that she has to decide where she can go from there.

I love me a hero that makes me melt. Or maybe even, makes me smile from ear to ear. And that is what Author Corinne Michaels gives to us. These selfless, beautiful, huge hearted heroes. What more could you ask for? Maybe a dash of Alphaness? Yes, she throws that in there as well, but in her own peppered way. These men drive me crazy, but not like Liam does. He tickles my fancy. He showers life in a way that made my heart leap from my chest. Liam had some GINORMOUS shoes to fill, following Jackson Cole. One would think, that J. Cole couldn’t be beat. But that day came, and boy was it freaking AWESOME. Liam will throw you for a loop. He will have you drooling, trying to lick your pages or EReader, and he will very well melt you into a puddle of satisfaction. Liam is full of life and ready to tackle anything that life throws at him….even curve-balls.

The way this story was pieced together was brilliant. It was written in first person narration, with a few alternate POV chapters. Each chapter slowly unraveled what was to come; angst, pain, the feelies, and even uncertainty. They were filled to the brim with want and longing as well. But nothing was tied up with a pretty pink bow. Nope. However, each chapter left me either breathless or screaming out loud. Upon finishing this book, I took a big deep breath and rehashed everything that unfolded before my eyes. What came to my mind, was effortless. This story was so very effortless and beautiful.

I feel like you could get away with reading Consolation as a Standalone, before reading Beloved & Beholden, but you may miss out on what started this phenomenal interlooping series. So, if you are willing start with Beloved, and go from there! 🙂

Consolation moved to the top of all time favorite reads, in a matter of a few sentences. I knew as soon as I started that I was in over my head, and wasn’t going to be able to stop reading. And that is exactly what happened. This is one unputdownable read. You see that, Author Corinne Michaels poured her heart and soul, and probably a side of tears into this story. It is gripping, sensual, and heart-achingly phenomenal. You see that Author Corinne Michaels writing is flawless, and that she has grown so much, since Beholden. She has without a doubt, moved to an author that I will follow til the end of time. She became my overnight sensation, and I cannot wait to read, not only Conviction, but everything and anything that she releases.

This book will take you on an emotional roller coaster!! It’s a MUST READ!!!

Wonderful love story with unexpected turns.

Really enjoyed the book but didn’t care much for the offensive language through-out..

I enjoyed the book very much however I was surprised with the ending and now I have to read the next book to find out the outcome.

Awesome, not predictable either
