My poor little heart.
Gah i can’t.
I don’t know where to start.
My heart still hasn’t returned to its normal rhythm.
You know when you meet those characters and you instantly start rooting for them like they are some sort of power couple and you want them to do well? Well this was Charlie and Luke. They have that sort of relationship that spans years in the making, like you don’t get that sort of relationship unless you’ve been through some stuff.
They have such an amazing relationship, yes it has its ups and downs but what great relationship doesn’t? I fell for Luke almost instantly, he was charming and had so much love for Charlie, he was a dream to read about.
Charlie was so strong and stood her ground, i was like the devil on her shoulder like “you go girl” but also had this feeling of like wait, “hear him out, it’s Luke he can do no wrong in my eyes” conflicting but no book should always be straightforward.
I’ve read one of Lindsey’s books before and had every intention of getting to this series because there is only so much a girl can see it being promoted without breaking and having to read it and I’m glad i did.
I’m glad i got to experience Charlie and Luke and their crazy ride.
The ending though had my heart in my mouth, I’m so glad i don’t have to wait for book 2!
I loved Charlie and Luke, but all those secrets and twists were what I loved the most. 5+ stars.
Wow!
I was not expecting this story for Lindsey Powell at all.
I never read the blurb but I assumed this would be a quick sweet romance story. And it turned out to be so much more than that.
Charlie and Luke have been lovers, best friends, and soulmates for ten years. Their lives were perfect until they weren’t. Even thought Charlie swore she knew the man she loved, there was a secret that he’d been hiding all those years that changed everything for them.
All of a sudden, Charlie no longer feels safe anymore and even though she wants to trust Luke it’s hard when he leaves her in the dark.
So much takes place and eventually Luke tells Charlie what that secret is and on the day of their wedding the unexpected happens.
Honestly, I did not see that ending coming. It was so not what I was expecting and now I’m off to read book two because I refuse to accept that that was the end if such a beautiful relationship.
Wow this author never fails to surprise me! This story shared the love of two sweethearts who had shared 10 years of utter bliss only for later event’s to take the story into an unexpected yet edge of your seat twist! Another page turner where i was eager to know what happened next and i wasn’t disappointed! Is this really the end of Charlie & Luke…? Who knows… Until the next i impatiently wait
Well, this book was not what I expected, but what a great start to the series.
This story captivates from the beginning, throwing twists and turns to keep you turning pages.
Charlie and Luke have been together for a long time but when things start coming up will their relationship make it?
The suspense, steam and heartache will keep you wanting more, but that ending! Come on!
Luke and Charlie have been together for ten years. They have the kind of loving, steamy, trusting relationship we all want. Or do they?
Luke asks Charlie to move in with him and she happily agrees! When Charlie moves in there are small things that she sees in Luke she hasn’t seen before. Luke has a secret, that he refuses to tell Charlie. He is working more than before and is cagey when pressed by Charlie. Which has Charlie questioning everything about Luke.
They have never had secrets before, she loves Luke but is unsure if she can be with him. He swears it’s all nothing and that he loves her. She can see that he means what he is saying, but can’t shake the feeling she has about what he isn’t saying.
This secret causes strife between the two lovers, but Charlie ultimately decides that her love for Luke is strong enough to allow Luke to keep the secret.
That is until on what should be the happiest day in Charlie’s life turns into tragedy!
Is Charlie blissfully happy or ignorantly happy? That is the question. Charlie and Luke had the relationship everyone thought was perfect for 10 years. Charlie, herself, thought it was perfect. That is until one occurrence has her questioning things. A minute change began to snowball into more questions.
There were so many twists and turns through out with unanswered questions which keeps you on the edge of your seat. You know something sketchy could be happening, but then you question whether or not your suspicion is true. L. Powell is wonderful at weaving twists throughout.
I could not understand how Charlie could be so forgiving and not question or want to know answers to her questions. I guess because I would want to know everything, I would not have chosen to be kept in the dark.
The ending was a complete shocker. I knew there would be some sort of separation based on the 3 book series, but was not expecting that. GREAT beginning to the series.
