Indefinite

I was SO excited to be able to dive back into my favorite Corinne Michaels series—I mean, who doesn’t love a bunch of sexy Navy Seals?! Getting to catch up with Muffin, Dreamboat, and Twilight is secondary though to getting to know our latest man of the Salvation series…Ladykiller.

Quinn and Ashton have been in the background of the series for awhile now and it’s time for their moment of glory. And in true Corinne fashion, that glory is hot and blazing! But will it be enough? These Seals play hard, fall hard, and love hard…but sometimes they are hard headed. It just makes us love them more when they finally figure their women out.

Prepare yourself to want to curl up, snuggle with a fluffy blanket, have a nice beverage, and read this book until the last page. This book sucks you in from the start and I couldn’t force myself to put it down until that very last page!!

Oh and just fair warning…in case you missed it somewhere (what rock have you been under?!)…

This is a duet…so be prepared for a cliffie that will make you want to choke someone.

I promise it’ll all be worth it though!!

My heart! If you love emotional romance that you can physically feel, do not miss this duet. It’s all the feels and then some!

GORGEOUS, hot, beautiful and angsty NEW love story from Corinne Michaels!!!!

I was braced going into this book, fully prepared—or so I thought—for the trip through the emotional wringer that is part of the experience when I read Corinne Michaels. She so expertly toys with my emotions, and hers is the kind of writing that gets me out of my seat and pacing the floor as I choke back tears and rail at whatever angsty conflict Corinne conjures up. Her words command not only my time but my full attention as I consume them. She uses those words to mercilessly rip me to shreds before she painstakingly puts me back together. She does this so effortlessly, that I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that her thirst was only quenched with tears of her readers. But I digress…

The Indefinite Duet is part of Michaels’ Salvation series, but it can absolutely be read as a standalone romance. I don’t want to say too much about Ashton and Quinn’s story, but I will say that this is a story that made me feel. I was all over the place, just like Michaels intended me to be, with the ups and downs of this couple’s story. Like the maestro that she is, Michaels created a symphony of feelings in those highs and lows, bringing it all together in that final, heart-pounding crescendo moment. Indefinite is a complex story in different ways. At the heart of it, this is a second-chance romance, but again, this is Corinne Michaels, and she doesn’t do simple, straightforward romances. There were elements of a few different tropes in this hard-fought romance that Corinne blends together seamlessly and thoughtfully. This is a couple with a long and complicated history, and the chemistry between Quinn and Ashton was so explosive, my Kindle was practically smoking in my hot little hands.

For years I’ve avoided cliffhangers at all costs, always waiting until all of the books were out before binge-reading the full story. I guess my reading tastes have evolved because I’ve somewhat changed my stance—with a few caveats—on cliffhangers in the last year. As long as the wait between the two books isn’t too far apart, I’ve found that I actually enjoy the experience of simply anticipating that second book. The build-up, the wondering, delaying the gratification in order to sink more deeply into the world the author created… it all contributes to a unique and satisfying reading experience. In this age of instant gratification, where binge-watching an entire series of shows on Netflix in one sitting instead of waiting for episodes to air every week is the norm, I found a simple sort of pleasure merely in the anticipation of having some of this story to look forward to. It actually ramped up my excitement for it, and thus my overall enjoyment of the story as a whole. It was a novel experience, an eye-opener for sure, and one I no longer shy away from. So if you’re hesitating to read Indefinite now because it’s a cliffhanger, don’t let that deter you from reading it. Read it now, and revel in those what ifs and unanswered questions, and do it knowing that this is Corinne Michaels, and not only will she not let us down, she’ll make it well worth the short wait.

Indefinite kicked off a love story that had my heart aching and racing, my cheeks burning, and my emotions churning. Michaels utilized a two-pronged plot to tell Ashton and Quinn’s story, blending their consuming romance with one heck of a suspense arc, and let me tell you that that part of the story was brimming pulse-pounding intrigue and excitement. I positively inhaled this story. I could not put it down, and I was practically furious the few times I had to do so. Indefinite left me utterly gob-smacked and nearly desperate for more, and I loved every single second of it. Five smooches from me for Indefinite by Corinne Michaels!

Quinn and Ashton have a long history. He’s career military and she’s an embryologist who helps people achieve their dream of having a baby. Ashton is tired of waiting for Quinn to settle down so she breaks up with him and starts her quest to have a baby by herself. When he returns from his latest deployment, they share one night of passion that leaves her pregnant. He’s all-in at that point but she’s still holding on to her fear.

I didn’t love the heroine in this one. Quinn leaves the military and tries to woo Aston back but she’s having none of it. The entire book was push and pull (she’s ready/he’s not and then he’s ready/she’s not). It started to get irritating after awhile and there was no reason for them not to get back together.

The books ends in a cliffhanger and I’m not sure whether I’ll read the next one.

Audio Review from August 2019

So this starts off with a breakup, turns into a redemption story, things are going well and then BANG!! lol

One thing in the story I was able to foresee and I was saddened to see it happening.

The HIM story line I kind of saw coming a tiny bit. But it’s going to be interesting to see how she plays it out in the next book.

The performances in this book were amazing. Andi and Jason play off of each beautifully.

The very last chapter of this audio was amazing. Just kept you mesmerized until you get to THE END and you know it’s coming and still just SLAM!! lol

Indefinite is a stunning and captivating love story. This second-chance romance is powerfully moving, beautifully inspiring, emotionally raw, and breathtakingly romantic. An unforgettable masterpiece delivered with so much heart and soul that I fell deeper in love with the characters and their journey with each turn of the page. Quinn and Ashton have an intense connection, incredible chemistry, and undeniable attraction. I loved the push and the pull. These two are magical together. The storyline is incredibly well-written and was a rollercoaster of emotions. I could feel everything the characters experienced; the emotions radiated from the pages. I laughed, cried so many tears (happy and sad), felt the butterflies, the heart palpitations, every ounce of pain and all the joy. Oh, and those swoon-worthy moments – absolutely breathtaking! A powerful and poignant story of love, faith and taking chances that I didn’t want to end. The unconditional love and support of family and friends is beyond words. The wisdom interlaced throughout was inspiring. I absolutely loved every second of this epic love story and have a new all-time favorite. The ending left me reeling and wanting to know what happens. This book left a mark on my heart and soul. I’m truly in awe of this story and I would give it 10 stars if I could!

I had been waiting for this story for years, visiting the Salvation universe was like coming home!!
Quinn and Ashton’s story was emotional, heartbreaking and full of drama! And then this author did what she does best left us hanging and waiting for the next book Infinite.
We meet both Quinn and Ashton in the earlier books so we got to revisit some of our beloved characters!!

One of Corinne’s many gifts is her ability to build such multi-faceted characters. They live and breathe and walk right off the page and into your hearts.

Such an amazing story.

I am so confused. I thought I was reading a romance novel. What I read was two totally codependent people who were awful. He was basically a stalker who stalked her into submission. She had no backbone and between being spineless and every single person in her world pushing her towards a man who for her was one disappointment after another she caved. He moved into her apartment, pushed his way into her home and showed up everywhere she was supposed to be up to and including her parents house. So no, I did not like this at all. I did listen to the second to hope that it got better. For me, it did not.
