I'll be honest, I thought this book would excite me like the cover did but sadly the slow romance, grammatical errors and some language structure issues were detrimental to my smooth reading of this novel.

While I understand the need for a slow build-up of romance since this is a trilogy and all, I find all the tension a bit dull. Also, I find the constant change of perspective between Angel and Alex a bit too jarring as I'm often left wondering who is now talking about whom.

The good points about this book is the sex scenes I guess...other than that, this book is a meh for me.

This is a second chance romance with a secret baby story.
It is quite angsty.
The reasons for not telling the father until a later time are always a tricky one to handle I think. The reasons Teagan didn't tell Chase trickle through the story, it takes some time to hear it all. I think considering her age and the pressure she was under plus the misunderstandings made it reasonable for her to make certain decisions. I struggled more with the actions of the best friend.
It is well written and a times quite emotional, there is a very sick child so that plays on the heart strings but also the scenes between Chase and Teagan are quite emotional and certain things can't be undone. There is also a jealous ex or not so quite ex when the story begins.
There is an issue of cheating, although this is written to make it acceptable, to me they both cheated.

At the end of book 1 Julia had an accident, this book picks up where the first book stopped, she has amnesia so the book is basically them dealing with her trying to remember their relationship.

The basic idea of the story was good but the relationship with Caleb and Mace got on my nerves. They had a casual relationship, he didn't really want her to travel back to be at the funeral with him, she caused nothing but tension and problems the whole time she was there but he was a big macho alpha why didn't he order her to leave. She even sat in on the will reading.... How???? She had nothing to do with family, it was ridiculous.
There was dual POV but also you had Macy's thoughts, it just seemed too much switching. Sorry but I didn't like it.
This book was not for me.

4 poignant stars

My heart nearly stopped beating from this book. As a mother, my heart ached. I cannot even imagine.

The reasons for the break up seemed a bit extreme to keep a secret to the length that the story de,and end. Great characters. Looking forward to Jensen's story.

La suite de l'histoire d'Alex et d'Angel. Là encore j'aime beaucoup le style d'écriture de Kathleen Aymes. Le seul reproche que je pourrai faire serait que je n'aime pas trop la nature possessive d'Alex.½

Je l'ai dévoré d'une traite! J'aurai aimé qu'il soit plus long, mais ce livre est une bonne conclusion à une trilogie très agréable à lire et dont j'ai adoré les personnages.

WARNING: This book leaves you with a huge cliffhanger...

I just finished this book and I am at a loss for words. It left me completely distraught.
This cliffhanger is like no other and even chapter 1 of book 2 won't answer your questions.

Besides the cliffhanger this book was pretty good. It had a strong storyline with likeable characters. Ryan is a sexy young man who is attending Med school and Julia is a beautiful young woman who is working at a Fashion magazine. Together they have decided to take their friendship to the next level.

Throughout the book they live a long distance relationship with a couple visits a year. Each visit is unique and shows what a strong bond they share. The romance is intense and the sex scenes are hot.... I just felt it was a little too lovey dovey for my liking. There were too many mushy words and they came off as obsessed with one another. I would have liked to see trouble within the relationship. Whether it be a hook up or mixed feelings... just something to kick it up a notch.

The Author did bring in some drama, but sadly the book came to an end shortly after leaving us all with questions.

Adam's Apple - I found this a little intriguing but I struggled to read it. The story line was a bit slow moving for me. However, the authors writing is really good and gives a great description of everything. It is a nice suspenseful storyline and a good cliff hanger at the end. Sometimes for a me a story has to snag me pretty quick for me to stay interested. I will say this book is worth the read. Adam is a manwhore and Kathryn is a woman who he wants. Little does he know that she will be changing his life. I loved the fact that she was a Tantra teacher as so many couples could use this connection in life.

The Agreement - What a beautiful story. Drake is a man's man with a dominant side. Kate is a girl who is curious about the lifestyle and not sure how to find out. They meet thanks to Lara who is helping Kate write a paper. Little did Lara know that Kate and Drake already know each other. A sweet catholic girl who is horrified to see Drake is the man to teach her everything. Drake introduces Kate to the world of D/s and together they start a journey. Dawn Kate's friend is bound and determined to tear them apart.

Finding Moore - I really enjoyed this. The idea of finding the love you lost years ago. You fall in love with this couple as soon as you realize what they have. However, CJ wasn't going to let Schooner go and did some unspeakable things to ruin what Mia and Schooner were growing into. Hell of a cliff hanger at the end. Looking forward to reading more. The only downfall I felt Mia's story was a bit long.

Forever Black - What an amazing story! Fall in love with Elle and Connor. Connor the millionaire playboy who didn't love and no one stayed the night who meets Elle the bold outspoken woman who steals his heart. Elle is hiding a dark secret and that secret could tear them apart. This story is one that tugs at the heartstrings. These 2 love each other so much but to damn stubborn to move forward. You will be a journey that twists and turns like no other. When Elle disappears the question is can Connor find her and will they live to be happily ever after.

Vital Signs - WOW what can I say...I have had books that tug at the heart and bring my emotions high but I have never experienced a book that actually made me cry. Sadie's sorrow is so deep and the author brings those emotions right to the page. You heart breaks page after page of the torment Sadie puts herself through. Until she meets Zander the one man who could open her heart again to love. Zander will do anything to make Sadie happy again. He holds a very precious gift that only Sadie can cherish as much as him. Can Sadie let go of Jake and find the happiness that is truly right in front of her or will she run back to her hiding place again.

This was an amazing book. I do not know if my review will even do justice to how much I loved this book. To have a love like the characters in this book, Julia and Ryan is something everyone dreams. Everyone wants love and acceptance, even if there is a struggle to achieve that goal.

Julia and Ryan’s love is more than put to the test. They each struggle with outside problem that are hanging over their head. No I will not explain about the outside forces nor will I go into a lot of details about this amazing book. If I did that then I it would not even be worth reading the book. Sorry I cannot write a review like that without putting in spoilers and they are not fun to write or read.

This book is a page turner that is so hard to put down. It will make you want to laugh and cry at the same time. To cheer on the characters hoping they will make it.

I apologize to the author for such a short horrible review. However I truly loved this book. So while you are traveling this weekend and sitting back in the seat looking at the scenery read this book. Take this to the beach and sunbath with the amazing book. It will grab your attention and never let it go After you have finished reading you will wonder where the time has went.

Thanks for a great read Kahlen. The bunnies and I truly enjoyed reading your book.

A strong, smart woman a strong, alpha male = hot fireworks!

I loved this book. Angel was a breath of fresh air. She was smart, she made no apologies and she wasn't falling all over herself trying to get the hot, rich, alpha to love her forever and ever. She gave him a taste of his own medicine and it was amazing! I loved her spunk and fight.

That's not to say I didn't also love Alex. He was at the core a good guy. He lived his life thinking he had to be one way and Angel turned that all upside down. He was set in his bachelor life, he spent time with woman and made no promises to them. He gave them what he thought he could give and no more. Until Angel. Funny how when the right person comes along a whole way of life can be upended!

One thing I loved about this book was that it was a true story. There was no insta-love, in fact Alex and Angel didn't even meet until maybe 25% in? That's a lot of book! Not many authors could go that that long without losing the interest of the readers. Kahlen Aymes was able to do it and do it beautifully. That is the mark of a great writer!

I see more great things to come for Alex and Angel. Their story is definitely not over, not by a long shot!!

Oh Angel, I want to strangle you so much of the time!!

Angel seriously needs to learn that having someone care enough for you that they want to do anything to help and protect you doesn't make you weak.

But Alex, I freaking ADORE Alex. He is another one of those men that is a complete and total whore, but when the right woman comes along...he is all in. He goes all protective/Alpha/caveman...but in a sweet way.

Alex wants to protect and care for Angel.

Angel wants to prove that she can take care of her own damn self.

They both are hiding things.

They both need a lesson in honesty and how relationships work.

Kahlen Aymes has done a great job of creating these characters and keeping them true to themselves throughout the series. So many times characters become completely different people as books move on. Alex and Angel never do. Yes, they grow...but they are still THEM. I really appreciate that, because I know it's hard to do!

If you have read Kahlen's earlier works you know she is a great writer. However, having read many of her books I can see the growth she has gone through and can tell you that she is absolutely writing at a much higher level now. Her earlier books were good, her writing now is great.

If you haven't yet, go meet Alex and Angel. They are characters worth knowing. Even if they drive you to drink with some of their choices!

"The love between us was too much and yet… not enough. If we died drowning in each other’s arms, it would never be enough."

This is the end of a great Love story , a story of a very true soul induced Love story. This is the happily ever after for Ryan and Julia and this story shows that Love can endure it all and still come out stronger than before.

Ryan and Julia So much in love that they need each other to breathe. It is true love there is no doubt about that. When one hurts they both hurt. This Story is an amazing ending to one of the best Book Couple I have read . I am going to miss Julia & Ryan for sure. They will forever hold a special place in my heart.

‘I wanted every day of forever to spend in his arms, secure in the knowledge that he loved me in ways I couldn’t comprehend and I loved him more than I could ever put into words. The love between us was too much and yet…not enough. If we died drowning in each other’s arms, it would never be enough.’

Julia and Ryan have been through so much in the eight plus years they have been together and I think Kahlen giving them this final book was just amazing. We got to see just how true to each other they where. How they truly could overcome anything that is put in their path. You will cry, laugh, maybe even get a little angry when choices are made, But in the end you will be happy and you will still love this amazing couple.

“There never was, nor will there ever be…a love like this.”




Got my ARC woo hooo

This is the second book in The Remembrance Trilogy.

We continue The Love story of Ryan and Julia with this book and we find out what happens after the end of book 1 .

"From the moment we met I knew your gorgeous face is the first thing I want to see on this side of heaven"


Heartbreak, conflict, compromise, passion and most of all a beautiful love. You cannot help but feel every emotion that Ryan & Julia feel.

"God, you're beautiful." The words tore from his throat in a low growl. "You leave me breathless. I'm...undone, Julia. there are no words to tell you how much I've missed you...how much I fucking love you."

Book Blurb:

Ryan Matthews has everything he ever wanted. Close to graduation from Harvard Medical School and on the verge of marrying his gorgeous and accomplished girlfriend, Julia Abbott, his dreams are about to come true.

Julia is on the fast track as a fashion editor for a big New York magazine. Ryan plans to join her there to complete his residency at a major trauma center and all of their sacrifice is finally at it's end.

When tragedy strikes, their relationship is hurled into turmoil that leaves Ryan devastated as sorrow drives him to keep his distance, while Julia reaches out to find him again.

The second book of The Remembrance Trilogy follows Ryan and Julia's quest to rebuild their stunning past; an incredibly beautiful and heart-breaking romance, full of passion, intensity and truly immeasurable love. You'll be left spellbound, breathless and aching for more..

“Julia...do you feel how much you own me?" I moaned against the soft skin of her neck, her pulse beating wildly against my lips. So sweet and alive. "But you're mine. You own me, but you've always been mine.”

This Book does have an HEA , it ends in a good place and it surely leaves you wanting to know what Kahlen is going to do with Julia and Ryan in Book 3 ...

The final book in this Trilogy probably had me on the edge of my seat more so than the other two. In this one, Ryan and Julia's love is tested and almost pushed beyond it's limit. This is the first book in the series where they actually have problems with each other, and fight with each other, and after reading the first two books, it is very heart-wrenching! I truly loved this Trilogy and the authors writing style and will be keeping my eye out for future releases from her.
