OMG, what a book! I’m so in love with CE’s writing style. This book had my emotions all over the place in a very good way. When you think you will be taken into a happy path for the rest of the book, you are surprised with a few intriguing twists that get you more interested in what happens next. You feel like you are present with bossy Benson and Firecracker Sophie at all times. Love, family, romance and struggles are all present in this phenomenal book. I’m looking forward to reading the next 2 book in the series! Hope Finn and Paul have their own HEA’s as well. For sure CE will be a one click author for me!
Nanedsmomba- Life Reads With Friends
This is the first book I’ve read by this author. This book was about two broken people who find each other. Both of their backstory was so tragic. While reading this book I felt every emotion that went through these characters. This book was well written and I look forward to reading more from this author.
The story of Benson and Sophie is a truly brilliant read! Both have sadness and tragedy in their past, but when these two meet, boy do sparks fly! Maybe not love at first sight as you will read, but as time goes by, they both tend to fight their true feelings for each other. Can they stay away from each other?? Sophie is an independent young woman who has always taken care of herself until one night when she meets Benson, that all changes. He’s not the type of person who likes the word “no” and will do anything to protect those he loves. He is definitely an alpha male and you can’t help but fall in love with his personality! A lot goes on in this story and it will keep you on your toes from beginning to end. I enjoyed the bantering between these characters and the love they felt for their friends, who are really their family. But sometimes happiness doesn’t always last, does it? If you want to know, then read this enjoyable story. I look forward to reading more by this author!
This is my second read by C.E. Johnson. I read Buried Hearts first which is the third book in this series. And I loved it and Johnson’s writing and immediately had to read books 1 and 2.
I really enjoyed Benson and Sophie’s story. I thought it was very well written for an authors first book. It kept my attention from the beginning to the very end. The chemistry between the characters was good. And I loved the dynamic between all the other characters in the book. I am looking forward to reading more from this author. I can’t wait to watch her grow.
I can’t even begin to describe how much I love this book, but I will try. From the very beginning I was drawn into the story. Benson and Sophie are very relatable characters. Both of them are facing their own struggles in life and are just trying to get by. When they meet, they have an instant connection that is more powerful then they realize. The ups and downs they faced, brought them closer together and their bond was unbreakable. I wasn’t just invested in Benson and Sophie’s story. I loved all of the secondary characters in the book as well. Each of them played a specific role in the story and I can’t wait to read their individual stories. If you are looking for a story that will captivate you from start to finish, then you need to read this book. I finished it a few days ago and I still can’t stop thinking about this book!
Intended for a mature audience 18+
This is my first book by Ms. Johnson and I loved Benson and Sophie! This was a well written story that I literally didn’t put down until I was “done”.
Totally loved the chemistry and the dynamics between Benson and Sophie. These two broken souls are wanting and looking to be loved and cared for, and they found that in each other.
The whole story flowed, the characters are not perfect (and I loved their flaws), there are some laughs, a little mystery, combined with the spicy sex scenes will have you flipping those pages!
So glad I took a chance on this book and author! On to book two I go!
