First book in a series. Complicated romance.
On the outside August has it all. He is handsome and wealthy and he has several homes and great cars. He is successful in everything he does. Not many people know the grief that August has to deal with on the inside. Losing his mother in a car accident left him and his father broken. August’s father also hurt other people in that same accident, but managed to walk away from any legal obligations. When August found out he was determined to pay the dues for the wrongs his father did. August doesn’t let anyone come close when it comes to a romantic relationship. He feels that he is too damaged to be the person a woman needs. That is until he meets Nashville.
Nashville is a nurse and a country girl at heart. She works long hours and sends as much money as she can to her parents. Her parents own a ranch in Nashville and are struggling to keep up with all the bills. Nash lives together with her best friend Anna, who is also a nurse. They love to go rock climbing together. At the top of a climbed rock Nash meets August. Nash is instantly drawn to him and when August hurts his hand on the way down she doesn’t hesitate to tell him to go to the hospital, so Nash can take care of him.
August is such a sweet and kind man and he gives more than he takes. He spends a lot of money to make the lives of other people better. He feels guilty about the accident which killed his mother. Because of his guilt he still takes care of his father who is in a catatonic state after a stroke. August can be stubborn, dominant and controlling, but he needs this for his own survival. He is a person I instantly loved and who captured my heart with his kindness.
Nash has always been a good daughter to her parents. She works hard and is loyal. Nash is also funny and feisty. August’s millions don’t faze her. She is her own person and manages to take care of herself really well. I loved the fact that Nash didn’t let August dominate her. She isn’t a pushover and demands to be treated well. Nash has a good heart and is willing to do what needs to be done to save the people she loves.
Next August is an amazing story about grief, love and finding the strength to let people in again. Kelly Moore never lets you down with her strong and deep characters. August is an Alpha male who finds his equal in Nash. They truly complete each other. This story captivated me from the beginning. Kelly Moore’s writing style flows so naturally that I flew through the pages. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. Next August is an emotional read with so much love, I’ll remember this story for a very long time.
Loved the story with a twist
Really enjoyed!
First I apologize to the author. I really hate giving 2 star reviews. The writing is fine, it’s just the theme and the plot that I have a little trouble with. I worry what kind of message it sends to young women when a guy is overbearing and disrespectful and the female character tolerates it. Just my opinion and I knew what the flavor of the book would be and I chose to read it. Best wishes to your success.
I needed a change of writing style. I went back to one of my favorite authors. I was looking to read something with passion, suspense, mystery and humor. I found all of that and more in Next August. Kelly Moore is an amazing author and I love her style of writing. She is one of my go to’s. I’m looking forward learning more about the main characters and Sam and Anna as this series progresses.
I fell in love with the main characters. They both came from completely different worlds. August was rich. He didn’t have anwant or a need, but had lots of secrets.
Nash enjoyed the simpler things in life. She didn’t put up with August’s pushy controlling ways. She was fiesty and had no problem with putting August in his place.
August and Nash have one strong sexual connection through all the ups and downs they relationship faces.
Nash tries to get August to trust her and to work through the many walls he’s built.
I found it sad that the only way for her to get him to realize the errors in his ways was for her to walk away. August made several life changing decisions in the end. He decided to get his life in order by selling his company and home and changing location. He downsized when he bought his new home with thoughts of a future with August.
Rock Climbing is how they first found each other and its what brought them together in the end.
Next August is another must read by Kelly Moore. You won’t be disappointed.
I really liked the story. However the author really needs to get her geography down. Utah isn’t a days drive from Nashville. These discrepancies really bugged me and took away from my enjoyment of the story.
Dark funny romance good read!
I really enjoyed this book. The story line was believable and the characters were great.
A new series that I’m most interested in. I loved the story line in this book.
