A different start than I expected. I’m never sure how to feel when then give us the middle of the story and then go back in time.
I really related to Cat’s empath status.
This book really drug me back through my past.
Definitely a book of suspense and the ins and outs of first love during the teenage years.
A long and thorough love story. I look forward to reading more from this author.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
The love between Cat and Lawerence is intense and to the core. Their push and pull throughout the years and the heartache they go through definitely keeps you turning the pages for more. This is a must read!
Great book.
Cat meets Lawrence at her bestfriend’s house when she is 13 and even at such a young age the chemistry between them is undeniable. With her bestfriend’s brother being “in love” with her and her not wanting to hurt anyone’s feelings she tries to avoid what they both secretly know is inevitable.
Cat and Lawrence become close friends over time, but even they know without labels they are and always will be so much more that friends.
Over the years not having contact with one another didn’t fill their love. Now it’s time for them both to make choices. Lawrence is dead set on not letting her get away again and Cat is too worried about everyone’s feelings but her own. Can she finally be Selfish for Love, or finally walk away from the love her life for good?
I highly recommend Selfish for Love to those who love an emotion filled romance with a HEA.
Cat’s story so many emotions such a great storyline and second chance love story! Enjoyed reading and a nice addition to this series!
Sometimes love at first site is true, but life gets in the way. Lawerence and Cat both felt a spark when they first touched. But obstacles kept them apart. They never stopped loving each other. When a death brings them together years later, destiny finally wins. So sweet
ARC for honest review
I enjoyed Cat and Lawerence’s story. There’s something about that first true love that pulls at my heart. Their love story is one of a kind. It’s pure and heated. Almost like a love hate relationship.
AD did a great job with their back story leading up to the present. I look forward to reading more of her books!
Cat and Lawrence reconnect after almost a decade, and their feeling for each other has not changed in any way, no matter how much they try to deny themselves. This is a beautifully written flawless story, which is filled with angst, secrets, emotion, and is raw, gritty, powerful, and a realistic story. I was totally captivated throughout and I cannot wait to read more from this extremely talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all readers.
The love story that lasts the test of parents, friends, miles and time. Exploring the full range of emotions. You will find yourself rooting for Catelyn Shea as she navigates loves waters. Not to be missed!
Wow! This story! Another beautifully captivating story by this truly talented author. I couldn’t put it down. This series has become my favorite. All these characters have a special place in my heart.
Especially the couple highlighted in this book, Cat and Lawrence. Their love is so addicting. I felt like I was in the relationship going through the push and pull and the indecision. They aren’t perfect and that is what makes their story so raw and real. I love the message in this story, well the one of many. The one that really stuck out was that sometimes in life the person we need to worry about is ourselves. Our happiness does matter. And can we just talk about how swoon worthy Lawrence is? OMG! I can’t express enough how everyone needs to get lost in this book, in this series. Get ready to have your heart gripped tightly. And you will think you have it all figured out and then this author will surprise you.
