this book was sweet. feel like i liked it just as much as the first book… not more or less. ending was disappointing lowkey wish there was an epilogue?? but maybe i’m just used to epilogues either way i enjoyed this one!
A bit too convoluted in parts, with a bit too obvious "oh but I didn't see that" plot, but still a fun book.
I liked this book, but not as much as I liked the first in the series. Erin and Brendan had great chemistry and I liked them from the get go. What I found slightly off-putting was Erin's flip flopping between Rob and Brendan. Rob had sleazeball written all over him and it annoyed me that someone as smart as Erin was just meh about it.
For me this was a 3.5*, but I rounded up because I enjoyed the chemistry between the two main characters.

You can’t just screw somebody to dissolve your relationship issues, which is what the fmc and mmc did here -
I mean, she can't write anything bad, so here we go - 5 solid stars.
Drowning Erin by Elizabeth O'Roark
Drowning Erin is the read I've been searching for, but had no idea I was trying to find. Ms. O'Roark opened up Pandora's box with her tale of profound emotion that is realistically true to life. Erin is a woman caught between a mirage and her heart. She wants the perfect life, but is living in a world of make believe. Her heart is pulling her in one direction while her mind is going in another. Then Brendan enters her world and starts to upend everything she thought was important. He see's beyond the image and awakens her soul. Caught in the middle of the mess that has become her life, can she navigate the chaos and find her way to happiness with the man of dreams? Brendan and Erin touch emotions not often acknowledged, but in need of exploration. Ms. O'Roark takes aim at preconceived notions while breaking through the heart's barriers and making a home for her characters.

Fantastic enemies to lovers story!
Erin and Brendan can’t stand each other.
Mostly because it’s Brendan’s fault for the tension between them.
As the story progresses the reasons behind Brendan’s antagonism is brought to light.
Their misunderstandings and miscommunications just add more to their pile of things wrong.
This is my first read by Ms. O’Roark.
I enjoyed her writing style.
It’s very detailed and descriptive.
In Drowning Erin the story is told in past and present and made it more profound and detailed into how each character is the way he/she is.
The storyline is filled with sadness,manipulation,hold your breath moments.
But also strength,hope and forgiveness.
It’s sexy and the sexual chemistry between Erin and Brendan is sizzling.
The characters are well developed and both have their strong and weak points.
They are believable and very relatable.
I loved reading Erin and Brendan’s hard fought journey from where they started to where they ended up and all the drama and suspense that happens in between.
I voluntarily read an advanced copy
