nbiblioholic 's review for:
Stanton Completely
by T.L. Swan
It's time to write a review this book and it's so hard because I am still mindblown!! To sum it up, this book was Amazeballs. I enjoyed the first two, but this one takes the friggin cake! It had all of the elements I love in a book. Romance, angst, possessiveness, alpha domination, suspense, humour, etc.
Let's talk about the last 30% of this story. This author kept me on my damn toes. I was so excited!! I really had no idea which way it would turn (although I had suspicions) but the truth is not what I expected!!
I loved loved loved this book. I couldn't put it down it was so good. I know the writing is good when I'm anxiously biting my nails waiting for the next plot twist. This author did not disappoint!! This book made me angry, disgusted, sad, happy, laugh, cry and grin with joy. I loved every minute of it. The writing was so well done for it to evoke such strong feelings in me, that's for sure.
Fave lines:
“Natasha, I am a very rich man but I didn’t know the true value of wealth until you came back into my life. Everything was meaningless.”
“Natasha, you have been the biggest blessing in my life and it’s one that I can’t carry on without.” He fusses around in his pocket and my eyes widen when he pulls out the biggest ring I have ever seen. I hold my hands over my mouth in shock.
Is this happening?
“I didn’t even know what true love was until I met you. You are the only woman I have made love to, the only woman I have loved… will ever love. I need you to marry me.”
“Do you know how much I love you?” he whispers.
I smile and emotion steals my ability to speak.
“I fucking adore you,” he whispers. “You are everything to me. This money and this life mean nothing to me if I don’t have you.”
“Have we ever had anything but intimate and beautiful between us, presh?” His eyes hold mine. “Together we are intimate perfection,” he whispers into my hair.”
“Oww, my feet. Shit, I’m an idiot. I should have grabbed Carl’s shoes. Who am I kidding? I wouldn’t steal a person’s shoes that I had just stabbed. I put my hands on my head in disbelief. I just stabbed someone in the neck. What the fucking hell has my life turned into?”
“How do you light a fire without a match? I shake my head at my stupidity. Survivor… I hate that fucking show and now I know why. This is totally shit. I hate surviving. At least if I had watched it I would have a faint idea what to do now, but no… I had to watch Dating Naked. What the hell am I ever going to learn from a show like Dating Naked other than that people are surprisingly stupid?”
At the end of the book, I saw stories for Cameron, Bridget and Abbs. But what about Adrian? I loved him. His POV gave great insight to what was going on parallel to Natasha and Josh's POVs. I would love for him and Nicholas to get their HEA.
I appreciated the growth of these characters. Their reactions to certain 'events' showed a marked difference in their maturity levels (although Josh can still throw a tantrum like nobody's business lol). I wonder if anyone else felt bad for Amelie (crazy psycho) or Jesten? Especially Jesten because he really did end up loving Nat. Ah well, those two should have known they couldn't compete. It wasn't like Josh and Natasha weren't honest with them. Everyone knew they were in love and nothing was going to change that. At least Jesten kind of backed off. Amelie just needed some friggin help!
Through all of their tests, trials and tribulations I was glad to see that their love triumphed. Thank you for this awesome read!!
Can't wait to read more on these characters!!
