Misassumption (Adamson Family Series Book 5)
By nicoledykes
This book was so much more than a love story it’s about finding your strength in not only yourself but in your family and others. To the outside world Eve has it all, a great job that she enjoys, family that loves her, a nice home and money but Eve sufferers from a secret that no one knows about, she has crippling anxiety. Her panic attacks become so strong that it prevents her from living her life. In finding love and herself Eve becomes stronger and opens herself up to possibilities and happiness. I connected with this book on such a deep level, as someone who suffers from anxiety it’s not something many authors add to their stories or their characters . Mix in the love of two hot men and it’s the perfect story.
So, this was an amazing read because let’s face it that’s all Nicole writes. Personally I had some trouble reading it just because I deal with extreme anxiety and depression myself. But I am so glad she wrote it and did such a great job expressing all the feelings. The characters were fantastic and I loved them all so much. I don’t want to spoil the end for everyone so I’m not going to say if there was a HEA or not but I am very pleased with they ending and I can’t wait to see what happens with all the others! Thanks Nicole for another great read!
“Hey, at least I’m self-aware. I know I’m messed up.”
Confession, I read Misassumption as a standalone. I’ve only recently discovered the author and I’m really enjoying her books. I was late to the party as far as the Adamson siblings are concerned, I started at the end, with the youngest, Evie.
I admit that I was intrigued by the synopsis. What is it that everyone thinks they know, but don’t? What is her secret? Well, I can tell you one of them. She’s not as sweet and innocent as they think she is. Did you see that sexy book cover? Damn! Does she look shy to you?
I imagine that if I had some big badass brothers like she does that I’d keep my lover(s) a secret as well…for their safety. No wonder she doesn’t bring a date to the family dinners, right? Yes, I’m joking, but it’s not all fun and games. Evie is broken. She keeps her pain hidden from most. Though, there is someone who knows and understands. It’s funny because he’s misunderstood as well. Being messed-up is something they share. Their reputations are not accurate, they are misassumptions that they don’t bother to correct. It’s easier to allow the world to label them as they like and keep their secrets.
The author did a brilliant job of touching on a touchy topic with this story. She helped me to understand things I wasn’t previously aware of and opened my eyes. I’ve gained a new appreciation that I will carry with me going forward. I choose to live in the world of romantic fiction, but that doesn’t mean what’s shared is not true. Thank you Nicole Dykes.
This book was absolutely amazing to read and I’m sad that it’s the last book in the Adamson family series. Once again Nicole had me on edge and having no idea what was going to happen next. I had so many feels for Evie. I honestly felt for both Ty and Tate in this story. But in the end I feel she ended up with the right person. The two were bond to be together and help heal each other through there problems.
I can’t believe this is the last Adamson book. Sigh. Nicole not only closed out this family series, but she did it with a bang. I was looking forward to hearing about Evie’s story. This story focuses on Evie (Eve) Adamson, the youngest of the 5 Adamson’s. The reclusive Eve shies away from her family for years, preferring her own isolation to protect her secrets. Eve keeps to herself, avoids relationships, with the exception of her off again – on again hook ups with Tate, bad boy and racer and a pretty boy tattoo artist, Ty. The back and forth between these characters, while watching Eve grow as a person was just enthralling. This book was not what I expected, but it was everything I never knew I wanted.
Evelyn… Fucking… Adamson…. Nicole… Fucking… Dykes……
Both have crushed my heart in the span of one day! This book… Gahh this book… It crushed me! I devoured it in one damn sitting! It’s amazing, incredible, heartwarming, heartbreaking and every single type of soul fucked that you can think of. Will I sleep again? Will I dream of anything other than this heartache???I think not!!! I am so in love with this story. As heart breaking as it is and as big mad as I am I love it sooo much! Evelyn (Cuntasaurus Rex) Adamson, Ty and Tate’s story knocked the wind out of me. Like when you fall off of something and land on your back and can’t breathe at all for like 5 seconds.. THAT is Misassumption in a nutshell!
The long awaited final book in the Adamson Family series is finally here. I got an ARC of this book and it took me THIS long to be able to really put my thoughts together and write a review.
Nicole destroyed me with this book… completely and utterly destroyed me. My emotions were ALL over the place like I was on a rollercoaster and once the ride was over, I didn’t want to get off the ride, I wanted to go again!
Evelyn broke the mold. She is real and raw and powerful. She doesn’t realize just how strong she is but once she does, she OWNS it! I am not usually one for love triangles, and this one really did a number on me. Both men have a huge part in making Evie who she is and who she is meant to be. I won’t give anything away, but man… THIS BOOK Y’ALL!
Ty is the sweet boy, the one who pulls Evie out of her head and helps her come clean with her family. This boy is everything I want in a book boyfriend. He is a beautiful soul. And then there is Tate, the tortured broken soul who isn’t as broken when he is with Evie. He doesn’t realize just how deep his feelings for her go.
Y’all, this book will take you for the ride of your life. You will laugh, you will cry, you will want to reach in and smack EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM because they legit have you thinking “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” This book is EVERYTHING!
Nicole truly brought these characters to life while also making you THINK and FEEL and experience everything with them. You are drawn in from the beginning, “a freak on the floor”, and you can’t help but keep turning the page. And then you want to go back and do it all over again, knowing that you’re about to put yourself through a rollercoaster of emotions again and again.
Five beautiful amazing stars! I am so sad to see that the Adamson’s are officially complete but this book was the perfect BEAUTIFUL ending for this series! I can’t wait to see what else Nicole comes up with!
The title of this book brings so much to the table. It seems in every area of our lives people misassume things about us all the time. We even do it to ourselves. It’s happened throughout history. It’s is highlighted all throughout this story but for more than just one person. It would seem it applies to everyone. This is more than just a story about the last Adamson, Evie. It is a compelling story that draws you in and keeps your attention on all fronts. What you think you know or want one minute completely throws you the next. Nicole Dykes has tapped into the human psyche of several people in this story. Although Evie is the title character, Ty, Tate, Morgan all add depth and emotion to this story. There were times I felt so many different emotions about all these characters I was thrown. Really, though, that’s how real life actually is. There is no one size fits all. It also seems we are our harshest critics. That is shown heavily in this story. It’s a story that makes you think. Don’t worry you will get to see some of your favorite characters from past books. However, this can be read as a standalone. Then again afterwards, I’m sure you’ll want to catch up.
Seriously, I’m hoping there is another story to follow up on two of the characters that I was left wondering about. You know that moment you think oh I know what’s coming next? Well, you don’t! Lol. I was like what…????
I don’t do spoilers. I don’t think it’s fair to the author. Read the blurb and get the gist. Better yet read the book. Where is the enjoyment if I tell you what’s going on? This is a book I wish I could discuss. Let me tell you the author’s note at the end adds a lot to how she came to write this story. So don’t skip it.
All the feels are provided and then some, and when I say all, I. DO. MEAN. ALL! You will be sad, angry happy, swoon, upset, romanced, agitated and get filled with heat!
You may also see a little bit or a lot of yourself in this story. People affect us, even without knowing or them trying. They shape what we become and we ourselves add to that. We assume things about ourselves and what other see or don’t see. We provide our own Misassumptions and so the circle goes on and on. It’s a hard ride to get off of until we stop the cycle ourselves. Seriously, I need to stop I don’t want to let anything slip.
What I will say is on this subject you can assume that what I’m writing is the truth. There is NO Misassumption on that.
What a way to end a series!! Nicole Dykes has smashed it out of the park with Evie’s story!
We’re faced with real and raw issues in this book and it’s safe to say at times my heart broke. I too suffer with anxiety and I have to say that I feel Nicole portrayed a very true example on how it can affect others.
This book was truly outstanding and I can’t wait to see what this talented author writes next!!
Nicole dykes girl you once again messed with my emotions and put them back together again. I hate that this is the last adamson family book but to be the last one it was so good. Evie’s story is so raw and real and I love it. You show no fear with bringing in real life problems into a book instead of making it seem happy to lucky the whole time. I’m glad we finally got evies story and now I understand why she was a mystery.
I’ve been sitting on this review for a few days, just because I honestly don’t know what to say.
First I want to Say that Nicole hits on a rough topic and I think she did a wonderful job talking about it and brining light to the situation.
Evie is the youngest Adamson sister and misunderstood, everyone thinks they know what’s best for her when they don’t truly Know her. She has lived a rough life and has a lot to overcome.
I highly recommend reading this book and the series.
Wow i dont even know were to start on this book. This is a must read that will have your emotions every throughout this book. It’s will take you on lots of twists and turns and have you on a ride that will have you all over the place as it will have you needing more of this fast pace read.
I’ve had books that have touched me in some ways, some that have made an imprint on my life. This one however, I have lived with the same thing as Evie. I know what its like to have to go a big party with lots of people, smile and talk to people. I also know that deep down, I’m freaking out, needing to breathe/get away from it all and just go home to your safe place. Evie experiences all this and more in this book. She overcomes so much and realizes she should have just been honest with the family years ago. Evie is my hero. I knew from reading the other Adamsons that Evie was gone be the one to get me. She was quiet and mysterious. You got a peek about her and she’d make an appearance every once in awhile. I just had this feeling she’d be the to gut me. I was right. This book had my emotions all over the place. I had to put this book down several times just to compose myself. The author was hitting a little to close to home on some parts and it was just gutting me. I have panic and anxiety atracks. With the help of my own Tate, I was able just like Evie, to get help and have medicine to control them. The author did an amazing job of bringing this out and wrapping up a series that I have seriously loved. The Adamsons have a saying” We weren’t raised right.” While this true, they are family who does things their own way and finds love in the process. Sure some of it might be messed up, it works for them. They created their own family. I’m sad to see them go but if I know Nicole, she’ll bring them back at some point. I highly recommend this book and encourage you to have an open mind along with tissues. I know I’ve said this before but Evie will stay with me for a long time. Oh and Tate, I’m glad we got to see another side to him. He may be the bad boy of the racing series but he helped heal and love Evie just like she needed. He may now be my favorite, sorry Chris and Cash, I still love you guys lol.
An intensely personal and emotional journey is what I experienced with Evie Adamson’s story. Coming from a family where her dad ignored her and her mother imploded from bi-polar disorder, she struggles with anxiety but doesn’t want anyone to see that she is weak. She is an amazingly strong woman but like many of us, doesn’t see that within herself. One of her coping mechanisms is sex and she found a willing partner in Tate, a racer. He gives off this careless attitude so it’s something easy and convenient. Ty is a tattoo artist that makes her feel cherished. As she allows herself to embrace a relationship with Ty, is she giving up something she doesn’t realize with Tate? Ty and Tate both have their own issues to face with this journey. I loved the honest look at anxiety and panic attacks as coping with who you are and what you want out of life is dealt with. The Adamson family is a loyal crew and show once again how they band together. Having the Monroe’s connected with them is an added bonus with all the family interactions. I felt all the ups and downs Evie was facing and devoured every moment.
Evie Adamsons is a force to be messed with. Caught between wanting to stand on her own as more than just the kid sister and an independent woman, she shows very little vulnerability to the outside world.
I completely consumed this book in one day. Most of the time I was confused by which way I wanted her to go. And because this author is so talented, she’ll make you fall for the characters you really dont want to.
Buckle up, because you haven’t seen anything like the youngest Adamson.
How is it possible to feel so happy, yet so crushed at the same time?! This story was so touching. This author is not afraid to delve into matters most people shy away from. The characters in this story, hell, even this series, are so diverse and ‘real’ that you can’t help but fall in love with them all as you experience their turmoil, love, happiness and all the in-between along with them. These characters become your family and I loved every single torturous moment of this read! The covers also seem to grow with the series becoming more bold and beautiful by the book!
I am a whole hot mess of emotions after this one. I was not expecting the story that I went blindly into! Eve Adamson is totally my book sister! I know the things she goes through because I have also been through them. Which may be why her story hit me so hard….. but the men in her life had me reeling in so many different ways! There were some things that these men did that really made me so freaking angry….. and I will not even talk about how much I detest Morgan…. I think she is a spoiled little witch and I do not know if I will ever be a fan of hers…. but since I think that Nicole may write her story as well I may have to read more about her. But that is a whole other story for another time…. back to Eve! She is so strong and she doesn’t know it at all. I am just in complete awe of the way that she handles herself in all situations. She is who she is and she does not apologize for it. This book was one that I did not want to put down….. I was hiding my kindle at work so that I could find out how it ends! You will not be sorry if you pick this book up!
I have been reading Nicole Dykes for a while now and I am finding that with ever book she writes I am getting more and more wrapped up in the story she is telling. I just keep getting pulled in and FEELING the things that are happening between the characters! I can not wait to see what she comes up with next…..(as long as it isn’t trying to make me like Morgan….. I am just not ready yet)
EXCELLENT
Oh WOW This book is Incredible,Raw and real and just a fantastically heart wrenching story of strength and pure emotion.It completely stole my heart,I don’t usually read too many love triangle books as they frustrate the hell out of me.But this story just blew me away totally and I am so glad I got the opportunity to read it.
As someone who suffers from mental health issues,I related to Evie so so much,she’s my gal.!!!
Her journey throughout this book was both emotional ,steamy and inspiring.
oh and choosing between Ty and Tate Impossible,they were both really great characters..
Nicole has written an unforgettable book that I could not put down,I would definitely Highly recommend this book a must read.
I started this knowing that although it’s a standalone read, that it was the last installment of The Adamson Series. I knew it would be great and it would end with greatness. I was wrong. I was so wrong. I thought I was prepared. I was not. This exceeded my already high expectations. I was in tears with just the prologue! I read it twice. Evie just gripped me! You feel her and you are her because you can relate to her so deeply. Evie is an independent woman who simply knows what she wants and works to obtain it as she struggles with the different relationships in her life while dealing with her anxiety.
The symphony of raw emotions was soft and climatic. Raw and powerful and beautiful because mental health does not have to be ugly nor debilitating.
What I love best about Nicole’s writing is that she makes you “feel” all her characters. Not just the main one or two but you feel them all! That’s a phenomenal skill.
This story is real and beautiful. Nicole surpassed all expectations with this one!!
Oh my gwad
Wow the emotional turmoil this book encoded still has my heart racing! Seriously the angst the hate the heat as the utter stupidity (which makes it better) of the emotional stunted people just rips at my heart. Like the big neon signs we see they don’t and it’s just and brutal emotional rollercoaster and it’s peppered with the best souls healing goodness. Seriously this book has ALL the feels. Grab some tissue maybe some wine and dine in. This book will gut you! (And then maybe put you at least somewhat back together) gah I love this author!
