Awakening by Sydney Holmes

4.0

I have to day that I really enjoyed this book. I really liked that there were no heavy life altering past drama's.

Nora, is a great character that a lot of people will relate too. I like that she is slowly realizing that her life can be so much more then it is. Nora was well written, in the fact that she is realizing that Darren is now what she wants and ready to explore her sexual creativity. I love how Ryan was introduced in to her life and the story. Sydney did an amazing job of taking a delicate situation like knowing that its ending with one and wanting to find something else and no break the trust of anyone. I love how through out the whole book Nora comes into her own and figures out what she wants out of herself and life.

Ryan started out as a real mystery to me. I like that he let Nora figure things out before he went full steam ahead. At first I though I wasn't going to like him much with all his mood swings. But I like how his own story evolved. I would have liked to have a little bit more on him and his time on the east coast. I love how Ryan introduced Nora into his sexual choices and that she was so open to them. It was very heartwarming to see that he wanted her weather she embraced it or not.

Over all I give this story 4.5 starts. I really wish there was a little more at the end of the story like an epilogue so see how things turned out for them. Other then that I really enjoyed the story and will recommend this book to all my fellow readers.
