One month, I fell for him.Two, I was a goner.Three, I was a daydreamer.But by the fourth, it was a nightmare.Everything came in beats.Beat one—fantasy.Beat two—admission.Beat three—love.But it’s the fourth beat that completely ruined me.Beat.Beat.Beat.With a shattered heart. He was my nightmare.
Picked for her, by her best friend. The gentleman who holds all the ladies attention.
It should be simple go buy him a drink, just say hello, and then that’s it..
But this is where their story begins.
He’s a wolf, that doesnt really fit into sheeps clothing, though for her he’s going to give it a good try..
Can he become what she thinks she wants..?
I knew this was going to be good!! and eeep its not just good its oh my gosh heart racing, nooo that didnt happen, what the *beep* kind of gooood!
The more I knew the more I needed to know and see. Drip fed at a delicious rate, bite size nibbles dangled, oh heavenly!
He’s certainly a bad boy! Hes dangerous and quite callous. Icy cold yet downright delectable and quite persuasive too. Watch out ladies he’s not one you want to cross!
Shes the good girl who just wants to sample the dark side. Teeter along the fine line with no real consequences.
They are a very explosive couple. Fire and Ice, threats and promises.
I feel I should warn all readers, it’s not a fluffy and light read that’s for sure. Its darkness wrapped up in a very pretty package. Tread carefully!
T.L Smith has left me trying to turn the page because I need more..
My mind is going to playing out all the possible scenarios now until the second half of this duet lands! It’s already begun…!!
This is the story of Gunner Reid and Everly Thorne! Two entirely different people, completely different yet coming from somewhat similar backgrounds.
Gunner admits very early in the story that he is ..”cold, dismissive, hard.” and he wasn’t wrong! He also told Everly that he wouldn’t fall in love with her at an early stage in their relationship. So in one way you could say he might have been an arrogant player who didn’t believe in love but he was also up front with his honesty.
Everly is a confusing character for me. On the one hand she is confident yet not, she is determined but then accepted so much from Gunner she shouldn’t have, she’s not exactly weak but is portrayed as weak. See-confusing! I like her though and can totally understand how she could be railroaded by someone like Gunner.
This is a very fast paced book and with the plot twists the story suddenly takes you on there is never a dull moment. I literally couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting.
Warning, as with most duets there is a cliffhanger and I have absolutely no idea what’s in store but one thing I’m positive about-book two, Hate Sober, will reveal all!
This was a really good book! Gunner and Everly have quite the complicated relationship. I feel very conflicted about Gunner, probably much like Everly does! He’s dark and dominant and sometimes you want to hate him, but there’s still a definite allure he has. There are secrets and mysteries and questions I need answered, and I just really feel like I need book 2 now!!
I love this author’s writing!! If you’re looking for steamy, mind blowing book with a hot alpha male and feisty female then look no further. Love Drunk will leave you breathless craving more. All the stars!!!
3.5 frustrating stars!!!
This book is about dirty secrets, half truths, obsession, hot sex and family traditions.
I am a huge fan of this authors, and I know coming into any of her books there is like a world of crazy shit coming your way. So I was prepared, to say the least. The problem was the beginning of the book fell flat for me. I couldn’t feel a connection and I just wasn’t intrigued. BUT zoom forward to about 40% and it started to get interesting. Then the second half of the book took off but still felt “off”. The end of the book is when shit got real and damn I liked it. While
most of the book felt choppy the end left you forgetting all that and just needing more pages.
The characters are all great and I can envision them all. The connection is where I was lost and I love an asshole like the next girl. But Gunner and Everly don’t do it for me. Though there sex is amazing!! Alec caught my attention from the very beginning and I am not sure why. I need more Alec!!
So many questions still left unanswered and so many secrets to reveal. The ending of that book was fabulous and made me want more answers! I will definitely be reading book two!!
**I received this book as an ARC and in return gave my honest review**
Hot, sexy, steamy, total alpha dominant, twists and turns. Not even sure where to start with the review besides that. This book has me craving more, I could not put it down, my mind is all over the place trying to figure out where this will go. And I know I’ll be nowhere near right. Damn Everly and Gunner, what a story these two have.
Love Drunk is a Kaboom story! I couldn’t put it down. I am love drunk on Gunner. Everly is my hero. Some will call her stubborn but she know’s what she wants even if she is blinded at times. This book will keep you hot and bothered. Then the ending will leave you shocked and wanting more. Hate Sober can’t come quick enough.
My heart is beating out of my chest and my anxiety levels are at an all time high but this book had me hooked from the prologue and had me trying to work out what was happening the whole way through. Lots of twists and turns and Gunner is the devil in sheep’s clothing or is Everly as innocent as she seems. This author has a way to weave words through a story that keeps you captivated. If you don’t like cliffhangers wait for Hate Sober as it is one huge ending.
What happens when you start reading a book and the combustion is slow and slowly it catches fire that you have no way out of it?
What happens to love being obsessed and attracted to it like a moth to a flame?
Wow, just wow, between the words you learn to love Gunner and Everly, and fall in love with them, to understand what causes this love. Knowing that their relationship is forever linked and cannot be unraveled.
Completely a dark story that captivated me from the beginning.
This is exactly the book I read right now, except that of course T. L. Smith left me in the dark until the next book.
Why am I not surprised?
Again, TL Smith has left her mark on my heart and soul.
It’s a given that when you pick up a novel by TL you’re ALWAYS guaranteed dark and twisted with a whole lot on mind manipulation, but boy this one, Love Drunk has left me conflicted.
Gunner, I don’t know whether to love him or hate him. Man that guy left me all kinds of confused. I can’t tell you how many times I went from loving the guy to hating him in a nanosecond. He managed (and I have no idea how) to weave his way into my soul, taking from me, melting my heart…..Then BAM, within seconds I was hating him for the devil that he is. Whiplash, that’s what I got because man this guy is all kinds of whacked.
And Everly. All I can say about her is that she is a beautiful woman who falls hard for a man that she simply doesn’t know, because what he presents himself to be isn’t at all who he is. But by the time Everly realizes it, it’s too late, because love has been found.
Me, I’m Everly because that’s exactly what happened with me.
Love Drunk is perfect read of angst, darkness and obscurity with an edge that will leave you completely stunned. It’s alluring, seductive, disturbing and simply addictive. As much as Gunner and Everly’s story left me emotionally drained, I couldn’t get enough, consuming me until the very last page.
A read that I can’t recommend highly enough.
Get on it people, you are going to fall hard, and I mean hard.
You will be Love Drunk.
5 stars.
