This was an amazing experience! The story was a love story but it was so much more. Dan and Anna get together one night after a concert. The chemistry between them is over the top and overwhelming at times. He pushes her away for her own good but slowly, bit by bit, we find out why. His problem is neither new nor is it unheard of. The author gives us a gritty, raw, unapologetic look at world of mental illness. It was a tough read but it was so worth it.
Thank you for the privilege of reading this book! Amazing job
I don’t think Gabrielle G. knows how to write easy romance, and I love it! Darling brings us characters that are intense and broken and just real. It’s not the type of rockstar romance you usually read; it’s so much more than that. Gab doesn’t sugar coat Anna and Dan’s problems or their reactions to them. All the ugly is out there whether the reader is ready or not. She also never uses the character’s health as an excuse, but instead helps the reader learn the real side effects of the disease.
Darling is deep and emotional and raw, but it’s also love and feeling and worth you taking a chance on.
This is a different type of Rock Star romance. Anna and Dan don’t socialize in the same circles, but in a small bar, across a crowded room their eyes skim over each other, thus starting an epic love story. Dan is the lead of the Darling Devil’s but the Rockstar life style hud his mental illness. This is a couple with issues to work through and highlights that just because someone looks okay on the outside, they may be fighting demons.
I loved that Anna was a strong woman with sass and her own compass. Dan is the sweet tortured artist and they get one another. It shows that love is worth fighting for.
This was my first time reading this author, and I look forward to reading more! This was everything a rockstar romance should be! I loved the characters, the emotions, the storyline just everything! Phenomenal writing!
” I’m not blinded by lust or stardom but by the promise of what we could be.”
Just tear my heart out, why don’t you!!!
Damn this was a beautiful story.
Realism at it’s core!
Anna meets Dan the one person she wants to shy away from. She’s not your typical women and will not fall to the ground for a Rockstar. If he wants her he needs to work for it and she stands her ground.
Dan has met his match! He’s so intrigued with Anna he can’t stop thinking about her. He thinks she may be the one!
Not your typical love story but it’s an incredible one. It reaches deep into the surprised mental illness that Dan has and how day to day life can be a struggle and how love can sometimes give you the courage to find strength within yourself to stay focus and beat the odds.
Gabrielle will not disappoint you! This book is different, it’s real, it’s heartbreaking and it’s absolutely a must read!
5 STARS
”She’s the ink I needed to tell my story, as well as the essential fuel to do so.”
Gabrielle G. has outdone herself again and penned another incredibly mesmerizing novel!!! Anna and Dan’s story is more than a rockstar romance. It touches on a sensitive topic, which the author delivered in a well researched manner.
I read this book in one sitting, I couldn’t put it down! I was hooked after the first chapter…can you say ‘Best Exit Ever’!!! Anna and Dan had a sort of instant chemistry…instalove…that was intense like a rollercoaster.
“After the high comes the low. After the love comes the heartbreak.”
Their relationship makes you feel a wide range of extreme emotions. I felt it all and loved every single moment!
”When I say I’m falling, it means you need to catch me.”
…
“I’m done falling, love, I’m already at your feet,”
Darling by Gabrielle G. is truly a profound and EPIC read that will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!!
What can I say about Darling!?! I have so many thoughts and feelings running through my mind but am at a loss for words. Gabrielle G utterly slayed me with Dan and Anna’s story. I’ve read each book the author has published and loved everything about her characters. She has a way with words that have you relating and connecting with them and their journey. Darling was heartbreakingly beautiful, raw and will touch you to your very soul. My heart hurt for them. This was beyond a rockstar romance. The struggles and perception aren’t always what it seems. I highly recommend this book! If I could give her more than 5 stars then I would!! This is an epic af read!!
Wow what a amazing read by this author. This is the first book that I’ve read by this author and will not be my last. This is a beautiful read that will take you on a emotional ride and grab your heart and will have you loving this beautiful story. Anna and Dan Story is beautiful written and you feel like you are right their throughout their journey.
I’m embarrassed to say that this is my first Gabrielle G. book. But it most definitely will not be my last. Wow! What an amazing story. Anna and Dan were insta-chemistry! The kind that had me fanning myself several times during the book.
Anna hasn’t had it easy. In fact, on her birthday she runs into her Scumbag ex-husband who she caught cheating on the day she lost their baby. Pretty awful stuff. But Dan Darling, swoony lead singer of the Darling Devils swoops in to save the day. What happens after that? A whirlwind of sex, love, romance, trust issues and mental health. It’s complex and beautiful and heartbreaking and amazing!
What grabbed me about this story, other than Gabrielle G.’s writing, was how real the characters felt. I was very sad when this story ended, but now I cannot wait for the next books in this series!
This is a MUST READ, one-click book for sure!
Phew this book was immense and utterly amazing! It had me hooked from the very first page and it didnt disappoint, the way Gabrielle really went in depth with Dan’s secret touched me to the very soul. The fact she has written characters that people can and will relate to is brilliant, whether it be Anna or Dan you will love both of them equally! Gabrielle is a brilliant author and if you haven’t read her books already i suggest you do!
