This book was so beautifully written but is so very hard to put into words just how much it has touched me. Thea is this beautiful an strong young woman who has been put through the ringer and all she wants to do is live her life and to stop running. Kol took one look at Thea and knew that he could be the man she needs if only he can get her to let him in. This book is not for the faint of heart and some parts were hard to get through but once you do it’s so well worth. Kudos KL for giving us a heroine who was willing to fight for what she wanted!!!
This book was so good. It was heartbreaking, beautiful and empowering. Thea is now one of my favorite heroines. Her and Kol together is seriously like magic. It was definitely worth waiting for. I am so excited for Ember and Noah’s book!
When I opened this book, I wasn’t sure what to expect. This story has been coming for a long time. The author creates the character of Kol perfectly. He is strong and passionate about everything he does. When he sets his sights on something g, he goes at it with 100% effort.
This book was a sad, yet uplifting read. I thought the author did an amazing job writing about a topic that is hard to handle. I loved how she took broken and made it beautiful by the end. The characters are sweet and strong. It takes a strong person to stand up and tell someone and Thea is that strong character. Short, quick, great read by this author!!
Another great book in this series and is Kol amd Theas story. I seriously fell in love with these two and my heart broke for everything she went through. I could not put this book down and my emotions were all over with these two. Absolutely loved how Kol and all his family was there for them.
KL Donn introduces us to the story of Detective Kol Daniels, brother of Arsen (Until Arsen) and Ember. An event organized by his sister leads him to a girl his heart and soul recognizes as his, only to lose her when she runs away.
Thea Andrews is flawed. Scarred and terrorized by events from her past, Thea tried to flee when she saw that she caught Kol’s attention.
Realizing that he needed to be careful with Thea, Kol makes it his mission to obtain her trust and eventually her love. Discovering how much agony she tries to hide away from the world, Kol pushes until Thea lets her guard down and starts to open up.
KL Donn, awesome author that she is, does it again. She gives us another story of hope and redemption. She gives us, through Thea, strength and resilience–powerful ammunition against people and circumstances that seek to tear us down. She tells us, through Kol, that we only need to trust–to reach within, and without, to that place were faith resides–our hearts.
KL Donn is one of a handful of authors that I have come to love, and I hope, dear reader, that you see her the way I do. She may make you cry, she may make laugh, she may even make you blush, but if you open your hearts and minds to what she is writing behind the words, you just might find the answer to whatever it is you are searching for.
This was such an emotional book and so good and a couple times I found myself with tears running down my cheeks without even realizing it. This one touched my heart but left me completely satisfied by the end and, yes, I cried happy tears with the ending…Kol is a police detective, and he is a protector at heart, but when he stops for coffee on his day off his life takes a turn for the better when he runs into Thea who walked away from their family, his sister and their friendship. He was devastated when she left and now he has found her. That was not the first time she ran, she has been running since she was a teenager and her step-father assaulted her and no one believed her and she has been hiding since. Thea is a scared and broken shell of a woman but with Kol she blossoms and finds herself. This was well written and does not gloss over anything. I did not read the first book in this series but did not feel lost at all but I am looking forward to the next book in this Daniels family story. If you have triggers, you may want to give this one a pass.
Loved it! This is an emotional, tear at your heart, read. Thea has been through so much and you can feel her pain. Kol isn’t overbearing, and I love that about him. Their connection runs deep. A must read. I’m looking forward to Ember!
Thea and Kol! K.L. Donn throws together two characters who could not be better matched. Thea is a young girl who survived abuse but still lives in fear and danger from the monster from her childhood. Kol lost his parents and then raised his younger sister at a time in his like when he wasn’t much more of an adult that his sister was. He sees Thea and just knows she is important to him, but then he has to convince her to step outside of fear and put her trust in him to protect her when nobody has ever protected her before.
This book is so worth the read. You have two people meant to be together but a shadow hanging over them. This book is about finding hope and light and choosing to fight for it instead of being too afraid to reach for it.
This book contains themes of abuse, molestation and rape.
With Kol by KL Donn, what you have is an emotional, unexpected , raw, gripping, at times heartbreaking and yet so touching and phenomenally satisfying rollercoaster ride of emotions that will take you on the ride of best your life.
Kol and Thea’s love story is real and powerful. Keep the tissues handy. Thea has had a really bad several years and Kol is the man who can heal what’s been broken in her but she has to let him in. Only, will she let him ? Their journey is filled with emotional bumps and bruises along the way. Kol is the alpha Male whose determined to bring rainbows back into Thea’s life. This was such a beautiful read. Truly touching and hits that feels spot!!
My Rating: 4.7 stars ******
So, With Kol is amazing, wonderful, and gut wrenching all at the same time. KL Donn manages to portray the thoughts and emotions of her characters so vividly that you can feel them yourself. I went through all the emotions that her characters did: terror, hurt, anger, laughter, love, and peace as her characters finally found their way through the tough spots life likes to throw at everyone. I cheered when justice was served. I absolutely love KL Donn’s stories and I can’t wait for the next book.
KL Donn has managed to hook me in to her world yet again with her latest book! Thea and Kol are an amazing couple, but their story isn’t easy. Thea is running from her past and resigned herself that she will never have normal or a happy ending, until Kol barges into her world and refuses to give up. These Daniels men know when they have found their other half and will go the distance to get their happy ending. With Thea though Kol knows he has his work cut out for him, but he is more than man enough for the job. I absolutely loved reading Thea and Kol’s story and going with them on their journey.
You just can’t go wrong with a K.L. Donn book. This book is the perfect pick me up! A feel good book with lots of heart. Kol is the example all men should follow. His love for Thea knows no bounds and he isn’t afraid to say it. Thea is so beautifully broken. Her fight for life is amazing. Kol puts Thea back together in the most loving way that she can’t help but shine!
KL Donn is once again the master of breaking your heart before putting it back together. With Kol is a heartbreaking story about Thea, who lost everything but managed to find redemption when she opened herself up to love once again.
Thea and Kol captured my heart from the very beginning of the story, sending me in a rollercoaster ride of emotions from the very beginning.
Although this couples story beegan in Until Arsen, this book can be read as a stand alone. However, I highly recommend you read that first. You won’t regret it.
We met Thea in the last book, we didn’t know her story, but we were intrigued. Kol and Thea are a love story that will stay with you for a long time. Thea overcame so much, and as soon as she let Kol in, he became her protector for life. Wonderful story of despair, redemption, forgiveness and lasting love.
this book was just wow! he is done raising his sister after there parents died. now he wants to live and find happiness. only he finds a broken woman who is running from her past. a must read!
Heartstopping intense emotional broken beautiful 2nd chance love story of Kol and Thea.I love the Daniel brother series,So ready for more
What an emotional read! Ok so I’ve been waiting for Kol’s book for what seems like forever but really just since I’ve read Until Arsen. This book is so worth the wait but I’m not sure I will be able to wait patiently for Ember’s book!
I loved this book so much! I found myself wanting to curse KL several times, when I wasn’t crying that is.
I can’t wait to see what KL Donn gives us next!!
Thea’s adolescence was a disaster and her life isn’t really living. She simply exists, keeping her head down and no connections whatsoever. Moving from place to place has been how she has survived. Unfortunately, Thea can’t bring herself to leave Knoxville even though her every instinct says to bolt. She can’t bear to leave the only friend she has ever had and the man who could heal her heart. When Kol finds her working in a coffeeshop, he doesn’t give her a chance to get away. He is going to do whatever it takes to make Thea smile again.
KL Donn is the queen, the empress of emotional romance! She can bring you to tears, put a smile on your face and make you sigh over true love all in the space of a chapter. Thea has had a horrific eight years and her strength will awe you. Kol is so strong and protective, so committed to doing whatever she needs to heal. The two of them together is sheer perfection and their love sparkled like the Milky Way. The tough subject matter and the aftermath of it all coming out was handled masterfully It is no secret that I adore this author and every single book she puts out cements her position as my favorite of all time! 6 stars for With Kol!
This author nails it every time! Every Damn time! She manages to reduce me to tears within the first chapter, breaking my heart and my soul. Then she gently places my broken pieces back together with love and care, alongside the people in her books. Because they are so much more than ‘characters’. Her people, become your people. People you could see yourself spending time with, taking coffee. You get the picture! This author pulls me into their world, every time.
This is a heartbreaking story, Thea has been through what no woman, or man should ever go through. Kol becomes her light in the dark, giving her hope and the strength to fight for what she truly wants.
Five huge shiny stars!!
An intensely emotional read!!
This story is one of heart break and betrayal of the worst kind that just might lead to something Thea thought she could never have. With Kol, is an intensely emotional read that brings two people together at a time when they need each other most. Dark secrets from a past Thea wishes she could be free from come back to haunt her every night and it makes her believe she is unworthy of love and a HEA. Can Kol convince her that she needs to stop running and fight her demons? Can he prove to her that no matter what he will stand by her side? If so, then maybe, just maybe,d Thea can have her own HEA, With Kol!!! Loved this book and I highly recommend it!!!
