The first book was by far the best. I think I wanted things to be different, but overall, the book made me think and view things differently. Very well written and very different from most books out there 🙂
She has a potty mouth. Story good but language was awful. Will never read another book written by her.
This series is great. Great story, love the flow and excitement. Fantastic read.
Fantastic Series!!!!
“Every flower must grow through dirt”
Dirt is book one in the Evergreen series. I was blown away! The blurb tells a little about the story but it is so much deeper. Love & loss are hand in hand. Chapter one was so moving. I was emotionally drained! The story took me in and would not let go!
Jack and Laurel are fighting to survive a life altering event. They are both coping in different ways. Theirs is a journey of survival. Emotional connections, loss, revenge are all sowed throughout the story.
“We weren’t just lovers. We weren’t husband and wife. We weren’t just best friends. We weren’t just occasional enemies. We were survivors, bound to each other by the kind of excruciating torture no human should ever have to endure.”
Jack is such a strong character and very well written. His strength, tenacity, boldness are combined with absolute loyalty and alpha hotness! However, Jack cannot let go of the past. This is what needs to be done in order to heal and be present.
Jack and Laurel have a strong marriage, but even the strongest marriages can only take so much. Laurel in many ways was Jack’s equal, fierce and intelligent. Laurel is drowning. She has transitioned from an easy going, loving wife to a grief ridden shell of herself. She is a work in progress. Although she was absolutely shattered she is slowly healing and finding her way.
The story has other layers and characters as well, people associated with Jack and Laurel. It was not made clear what their connection really is. There are things going on in the background that are left unanswered.
I wondered about the title “Dirt” and then realized that as every flower must grow through dirt, Jack and Laurel’s story too is growing and blooming. But will the flowers blossom or wilt away?
I was surprised when the story ended on a cliff. All I have to say is I.Need.More.
“The seeds of doubt have been planted.”
Why Why Why are my first thoughts!!! Seed is book #2 in The Evergreen series. You must read Dirt before reading Seed. Dirt, (book #1) blew me away and ended with a powerful and almost volatile scene! And then the wait began…. Or in my case, the most impatient wait ever!
“He was, without question, the great love of my life. He was my best friend, my lover, my protector, my caregiver, my everything.”
Seed is just as intense as Dirt. Cassia Leo is weaving a web that will trap you!
“The ones we love are the ones with the power to hurt us most.”
I can’t say anything more without spoiling Seed….
Finally the conclusion – Bloom!!!
“You need to decide if it is more important to be righteous or to be in love.”
Bloom is the conclusion to the three part Evergreen series and was just as I had hoped. Dirt took us in, introducing us to Jack and Laurel. We could feel the emotions that are sowed into their story. Every flower must grow through Dirt. Would Jack & Laurel’s grow or wither away? Dirt ended with a powerful, volatile scene and more questions left unanswered.
And so the Seeds of doubt have been planted….. Confusion, denial, and revenge continue to grow. Seed is no less emotional or intense as Dirt, overtaking us like a weed. With and intense circumstances that left me breathless.
As so here we are. The conclusion. Bloom. The soil is rich in uncertainty, the seeds are scattered. Will they bloom? Cassia Leo continues to surprise us. Revelations are around every corner.
“For Jack, it was always about justice. Justice came before everything. Even me.”
Marriage is like a seed that is planted. When given water and sunshine it will grow and bloom. Sometimes the weeds can take over and stunt its growth. Other times it will grow beyond what is expected. For Jack and Laurel their seed has done both. How would they cope with their unexpected circumstances?
I was captivated from the beginning by Jack & Laurel’s story. Their love story, their passion for each other is felt throughout all three books. Their vulnerabilities, insecurities and mistakes made this journey an amazing ride! I have gone from excited to devastated and back throughout this series. I loved the epilogue as well! A beautiful and touching place to end. And one last thing….those covers! Absolutely amazing!
