For Adriana
Monroe life couldn’t get any better. She
has great friends, her photography business is booming and she married Alex,
her childhood best friend. Life is
perfect. It’s a fairy tale really.
But one
night changes everything for her.
Suddenly
she’s alone. She’s afraid to trust and afraid to love.
Most of all she’s afraid she’s broken
beyond repair. Nightmares torment and
haunt her every time she closes her eyes.
Will she
ever be the same?
For Tucker
Stavros it looks to the outside world like things come easy for him. He’s gorgeous, rich, famous, has a hot
girlfriend. Hell, he’s a movie
star. If women aren’t trying to get with
him then men are wishing they are him.
What they don’t see is the broken
child hiding behind the smiles he fakes for the cameras. They don’t see the man who wakes up drenched
in sweat from his nightmares from a past he can’t escape.
Betrayal sends
him running.
A chance
encounter throws Tucker and Adriana together.
They try to fight their attraction for each other. They feel they’re too broken for the other.
Will they
continue to suffer in the hell of dreamland separately or will they find that Waking Up to real life together can be
so much sweeter?
Review
WOW. Simply, wow. For a debut novel, this
was absolutely phenomenal. It was raw, emotional, honest, and captivating. I
think my emotions were on a serious roller coaster the entire time! I laughed,
cried, got angry, and totally cheered. There was sex (and it was GOOD),
romance, friends, and memories. It really had everything!
Both characters have their own stories
and their own demons. One has chosen to stop living while the other chose to
live as much as possible. But both have shut them off from relationships with
anyone. Adriana and Tucker both won me over right away. You can feel her pain
right through the words on the page and you can feel Tucker’s struggled as
well. I just can barely put in to words the emotions that went through me while
reading this story. And the friends. Oh my. I LOVED them. We even get a glimpse
in to how they are experiencing things. Ms Dyer gives us a little peek in to
the minds of all of the supporting characters and that really helped me to be
able to relate to them without them taking over the story. I wouldn’t mind each
couple getting their own book. But first, I need the rest of Adriana and Tucker’s
story! Summer can’t come soon enough!
This was a pretty in-depth read and is
pretty long, so this is no quick read. Do yourself a favor, set aside some time
and dive in!
