Paige P. Horne is a new author to me. I won an ARC of Give Me Love in another author’s Facebook group. I was instantly intrigued by the blurb. The promise of an interconnected past, secrets and two people fighting their feelings for each other, SIGN ME UP! It did not disappoint. Going in I knew this book was part of a series, so I was prepared for a cliffy.
Give Me Love is an emotion and angsty slow-burn romance about two people with very troubled pasts. Their pasts have in some way defined how they make decisions in the present and about the future. It also has a lot to do with how they view relationships, not only with their family and friends, but with potential lovers as well.
I really really really enjoyed this book. We learn a lot about Bryce in this book, so I can’t wait to dive into Kat’s past and what happened to her to make her the way she is. I’m excited and nervous to see the journey book two takes us.
Painful, wonderfully angst ridden book about young love and finding love. I was immediately drawn to this tale of Bryce and kat and I loved their honesty, rawness and instinctive attraction to one another. Cannot wait for the next book!
Epilogue and your heart just wrenches! Such is the power of this angsty, poignant story about two people so broken that they are attracted to each others misery like magnets. Powerful emotions bind the story in tight bundle, you have to patiently unravel each thread to discover beautifully etched characters and their abandoned lives. As is with children from tumultuous homes, Bryson Grant and Kat are untethered wandering souls who haven’t had any closure in their lives yet
They smother each other in unyielding love. Their love is like a raging fire destroying everything near and around them. Even at my young age , I can see the love they desire from each other will also annihilate them both in the end. How can something so beautiful be so deadly?
So many questions yet none of the answers nurture them into skeptic souls, very reluctant to trust anybody. They are hesitant and downright untrusting of any show of emotions, especially of the softer kinds
Why does he care so much about a person who continues to hurt him? It confuses me.
She runs, he searches.
She fights, he’s calm.
Very slowly they learn to accept each other, open up their hearts and get the a peak inside. It’s a slow process but they feel comfortable leaning on each other and then hopefully crave for them to
There’s two fantastic side characters that I’m begging her to give their own books- Jace and Jake.
One is a lovable rascal and the other smirking, sexy mechanic
Paige is very skilled at ruining your heart with agonising stories which just shake you up hard till your sentiments are all scattered. She doesn’t disappoint here too. There’s a surprise towards the end that’ll have you throwing your kindle to the wall with WTF peacock?!!!!!!!!!!

Paige Horne is a go-to author for me when I want to take a ride on an emotional roller coaster. She has once again run me through the ringer, and I loved every word of it! Give Me Love packed all the feels within its pages, and I felt every single one of them. From the sting of broken, young hearts that never quite healed, and the anger left in its place, Horne weaved her angsty magic in all its gut-wrenching glory. Then she tempered that emotion with layers of sweet romance and sizzling chemistry that added depth and richness, making this a memorable love story that I simply did not want to put down. Trust me when I say, you do not want to pass this one up. This poignant and engrossing story has easily become one of my top reads of the year.
This is only my second book by this author and OMG was it so good.
Bryce and Kat have been through some truly horrific childhoods, they have seen and experienced things that most would not survive, but yet they have. From the moment the see each other across a crowded bar they feel this connection, kindred spirits? Maybe.
Bryce has spent his life protecting his brother, since the age of 8 he became an adult overnight. Through some horrific events, both Bryce and his younger brother Jace lost both their parents and are adopted by Lee Grant. They are given a life most would dream of. Bryce has a tough time through his teens. He has one rule he never breaks, never fall in love, never let anyone make you vulnerable.
Kat, this girl slayed me. Abandoned by her mother and left with an abusive stepfather her only goal through her teen years was to turn 18 flee. And she did. She found a job, friends and put herself through college. She has built these walls around herself and doesn’t share her past with anyone, she has this fear that people will always leave.
Bryce and Kat slowly develop a friendship and you can just feel the chemistry between them fly off the page. They both see the damaged parts of themselves in each other. They decide to take a chance and I truly enjoyed the journey as they navigated their developing relationship. These character have such depth and I felt so emotionally connected to them.
I loved the secondary characters. Kat’s best friends Claire and Austin were amazing and I love Bryce’s brother Jace.
Yes there is a cliffhanger, like I literally dropped my jaw while reading. Thankfully there isn’t a long wait for the next book. I definitely recommend this book.
I received a ARC from this author for an honest review.
Love the story line between Bryce and Katherine. The connection between Bryce and Katherine is electric and intense. Their back story is sad and makes you want to hug the both of them. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
This is the first book in the Give Me Series. It’s a three book series and needs to be read in order.
