Wow… what more can I say about the second book in this series.
I absolutely love Tally and Cash and the traumatic relationship they have to endure. There are so many outside influences that seem intent on destroying this happy bond, but mostly these guys stick together and overcome everything that is thrown in their path… or do they?
Cash is determined to win Tally back after a misunderstanding tore them apart. Can they ever rekindle the desire that threw them together in the first place?
Tally is a shadow of her former self while they are parted, one day Cash turns up on her doorstep and is forced to divulge a secret he’s kept from the world for donkey’s years, but will this be enough to win Tally back? Tally has an emotional rollercoaster ride to endure before that can happen.
This is the first of many challenges ahead of them in this awesome sequel, one that I devoured in a matter of days. I laughed and cried my way through this book and I think you will too.
Definitely looking forward to reading the final episode in the stunning, tension-filled series.
Now we are starting to get to understand and connect with the characters better!
Cash has kept his secrets so close that he’s lost the one woman who has made him feel anything in years. She challenges him in the best of ways and makes him feel as if he’s worthy of someone as good as Tally. So now Cash will have to make a decision. Does he finally expose his secrets to Tally and hope she still loves him? Or does he keep the secret close and risk losing the one woman who could complete him.
Once Cash has given Tally all of his secrets she’s ready to give their relationship another try. However, fate is a fickle…well you know the saying. She has other plans for this couple. Will they be able to come out on top?
This book starts out with closely guarded secret and doesn’t stop until the last page is turned. The author does a great job of drawing the reader into the story, it feels as though you’re following along on the characters journey. The story is heartfelt, emotional, at times funny, but has a thread of hope through it all. I can’t wait to read what happens next.
4.5 Stars
I loved the first book and was so excited to start the second one especially with how Winning Ace ended. I just can’t deal with cliffhangers and was so happy that I didn’t have to wait too long for the second book. So, lucky for me the second book picked up not long after the story in the first one ended. I was worried that it would be dragging because who knew where the story would go and if Tally would be heartbroken for most of the book. Anyway, I worried for nothing because the writing was as captivating as in the first book and I loved the dynamic between the characters and the fast pace. Let’s just say that I fell in love with the story all over again. =)
Whereas Winning Ace was much more about the characters fighting against all odds for a chance to be together and learning to deal with the different life and perspective of the other, Losing Game revolved much more around the second chance and what else awaits them, especially for Cash and his career. Let’s just say that enemies aren’t always easy to distinguish and they sometimes are people but may also come as a twist of fate. So, when it suddenly hits you, it’s too late to do anything about it and no matter how many “what if’s” you come up with, there is just one way to deal with it -> Head on and with your head held high. But this is easier said than done when all you can think of is the loss it brought with it.
The Story:
Tally ran. When she saw the photos of Cash kissing another woman, she was beyond devastated about his betrayal. Cheating is the only one thing she won’t forgive no matter of how much her heart hurt.
Cash has always been stubborn and determined at getting what he wanted. When Tally left him, he was torn between telling her his secret and putting everything at risk that he’d build so far, or letting her go and keeping his secrets. Because there’d be no way in getting her back without telling her the truth. Risking his career, he tracks Tally down and makes up his mind, that he can’t live a life without her in it. But what will the consequences be? Will there be any at all? Nobody has a perfect life but people like to believe so.
Thoughts:
I loved it!! There was so much going on I can’t even say what I loved most!
This book was anything and nothing what I’d expected because at first, I felt like I knew most of what was coming and I anticipated most that happened but it didn’t really bother me. There might’ve been something that not everyone would agree on and which is a matter of opinion and believes. I was a bit torn about it but decided in the end it’s just a part of a whole and I just rolled with it. (If you’re curious, I’m talking about Rachael and the press stuff.)
Anyway, there was a certain point where the story took a huge turn and got somewhat harder for the characters and became much more emotional (with reason of course!). I absolutely loved it although it was tough to read because I felt so close to the characters that it felt like I was right in the middle of their emotional disaster. The only thing that bothered me a bit (besides Tally’s constant change of mind in the beginning) was how fast it all happened. At least it felt for me like it happened in a blink of an eye and I don’t mean what put the characters in this position but everything else after that felt a little rushed. It made for a fast pace which I liked but at the same time I would have loved to have a bit more of preparation time and details.
There’s not much else to say actually because I loved the second book as much as the first one. For all I know it could have been one huge book because the story rolled so easily and was really enjoyable to read! As in the first, there were also some ups and downs in the story, most of which were predictable (though not all) but it didn’t take away any excitement or suspense no matter which course the story took. It reminded me of a quote from a movie ‘It’s the perfect combination of sweet and sexy’. That’s how I felt about most of the book but it was not just funny and romantic but also really emotional when you least expected it.
This was again a highly addictive read and I’m in desperate need of book #3!!
She did it again! I’m hanging on by the skin of my teeth waiting for #3. This is better than #1, if that’s possible. Hurry up October! Oh, Cash!
This book picked right up from where the first had ended. When everything goes to hell only the truth will get them back to where they hope to be. I can’t explain how this book made me so emotional without you reading it. I’m amazed this author kept up such a great speed and storyline that I felt everything with these characters. Then the completely unexpected happens and then we’re hit with another cliffhanger but I’m over joyed I had the next book ready for me.
