What a beautiful story! You have a beautiful, mocha, fierce and sexy woman. Now, let’s add a sexy as hell, sex on wheels chocolate man. I mean come on. What more do you need?
– Well, of course, we need some damn good writing. Hello, folks, let me introduce Rise.
Addie’s life wasn’t easy or normal, it was hard and gritty. Addie had to face challenges that others couldn’t imagine. With a father who broke her heart and a mother she saw as weak, she made it her mission to never depend on anyone. And, love? That was out of the question. A life without love and family isn’t really a life, but a life that mimicked her mother’s was out of the question. She never wanted to love a man so much and risk him leaving her the way her father left. To her, her mother was weak, Addie never wanted to be weak.
On the outside it looked as though Simon had everything but in truth, his world was spiraling out of control. With new responsibilities colliding with those of the past, the possibility of love didn’t fit into his new world. Simon didn’t want to be like his father, who abandoned him as a child. He wanted to be better, which is great. . .but not enough.
Simon didn’t want to want Addie just as much as Addie didn’t want to want Simon. Instead, they both must choose what is more important. Is it love or loneliness?
Do I recommend this book? Yes, I truly do. It was a good read.
Will I read more books by Dylan Allen? Yes, I will. The best part is that I look forward to it. I mean, think about it. If her debut book was this good, the next will be amazing.
