I adore Logan.

God knows he's not the best hero. In fact, he's one of the imperfect ones, but I do. I adore him.

I guess I wouldn't be able to review MORE THAN HER. All of my focus is on this one that I'm afraid I wouldn't know what to say about the second book anymore.


Anyway, here goes nothing.


Needless to say, after that damning ending of the second book, I had to jump right away to this 3rd one. Thank you to those who sent me the whole series as gifts. You are all angels!!!

This book picks up where the second book left off. It talks about Logan leaving and Logan going to somewhere far, fark away where Amanda won't be able to reach him. I was pissed at first. I mean, no woman (even a fictional one) deserves to be left hanging. It was unfair and it was uncalled for. However, after I found out about the PTSD... I understood. I understood that it's bigger than him just leaving. It's bigger than him just forgetting about what happened. He was broken. He needed something. He needed to heal.


I felt so bad for Amanda. She was really hurting. She was trying to move on and then something happens that will remind her of Logan and then she would be back to square one. It's not easy to read about that. Her heartbreak is one of the most epic heartbreaks in fiction land. I'll never forget it. I understand every single feeling that she felt. Every frustration, every gut wrenching cry and every single sadness... I felt them for her. I even cried with her. As a reader, that's precious.

In these book, we follow their way to getting healed. Yes, both of them. They still go through a lot of drama and a lot of odd situations. What you should look forward to is how they handle it.

TOGETHER.


I swear you wouldn't want to put this book down.

Logan..


He's something, I tell you.


Amanda?

You'd want to be her. Issues and all. I swear.


I know I always say that I read to be happy, but somewhere along the way, I forgot that to be genuinely happy, you have to understand the opposite feeling. That's what this book gave to me. I had to be unhappy, then happy again, then unhappy, then happy again for them so that I would totally appreciate their ending.


I love how it ended. I love these two. They would forever remain in my heart. :)


So that's it.

GIVE IT A SHOT. READ IT!!!

Oh! but read book 2 first! :)

Truth? I Flove Jay McLean's storytelling ability. I find a lot of times that series that follow a group of friends that each book tends to resemble the original. This is SO not the case with the More Series. Each book, so far, has been it's own entity and the stories just suck you right in.
Logan, how do I even describe Logan? I should be disgusted by his manwhore-ish history but honestly, I totally get why he was able to pull so many chicks. I'm happily married and like to think I can sense a player from a mile away but I would still probably fall at his mercy. Haha. We get to see more of the vulnerable and broken side of him in this book. My heart broke for him and all that he endured and what he gave up. I just wanted to see him get his happy ending.
I really like Amanda and the fact that, despite how much Logan hurt her, she held onto her love for him. I wish that maybe she would have required more of an explanation from Logan before she forgave him but I also appreciate that she tried to understand where he was coming from.
Side note: Ethan was sort of bad ass in this book. Even though it was a tough scene to read I think it was awesome for him to step up and fight for his sister. Also Logan's dad is the most awesome dad in the history of dads. Valid!
It would be wrong if I didn't mention just how much I loved how much Lucy we got. She is seriously one of the funniest fictional characters I've read. I cannot wait for her and Cam's book. Eek!
Another awesome read from Jay McLean. This is one of my favorite series out there and I suggest that everyone get read each and every book. They'll be jonesing for the next book as much as the rest of us More Series Lovers!!

This story is so emotional, right from the start, how they deal with their struggles, their heartache, their anger, their pain is absolutely gut wrenching. Its a story of healing, growing, learning, friendship, love and most of all strength. This author writes this perfectly, you heart wrenches for these characters, i found my self with tears flowing without even noticing till i couldn't see through them, i found myself laughing, i found myself smiing and yelling.
I can't wait to dive into the next book in the series

This review was originally posted on Bookish Things & MoreI’m combining More Than Her and More Than Him. I had a hard time liking Logan at times. He could be a pretty huge d-bag, but he has the best of intentions. And he begins to grow on you. And poor Amanda. The things she’s suffered through are horrible.

One thing that these two books will drive home is that carrying guilt over things you can’t control will eat at you. And running away from your problems doesn’t usually solve anything.

I feel like a huge jerk because obviously I'm in the minority, but I just thought this was ok. I LOVED the first two books, and I DID like this one (I read it straight through in less than 24 hours)--it was EXTREMELY well written; it was sweet once the angst was on the way to resolution; and Lucy and Cam (and really all the supporting characters) were awesome as always, but I kept finding myself getting kinda bored with Amanda and Logan, and I just didn't get the HUGE feeling I expected to get once they got to their huge impact moment.

So...I was going to leave 3 stars, but the supporting characters, especially and mainly the Heidi/Dylan parts, made a big enough impact on me that I'm bumping it up to 4 stars. I'm SO looking forward to Heidi and Dylan's book!

I think I've just been reading so much New Adult with lots of super-angsty angst that I've desensitized a bit, so please don't let my review dissuade anyone from reading this book. It's an important part of the series, and by looking at the reviews, it will be a 2014 favorite for many readers.
