They say in order to find yourself you have to go home.
What if home was what you're running from?
Where did that leave you?
Always on the other side of the fence.
Always looking in.
Always wishing you were someone you couldn't be.
Until one day you meet her.
The one.
She was my high, but she was also...
My demise.
Review
5 Stars isn't enough for this!! This book broke me,
literally felt my heart was in my throat through the whole damn book. It was
suffocating me; my emotions were all over the place. This is one of those
stories that you know is gonna destroy you.
I saw something familiar in her eyes, something I had always seen in
mine, reflecting back at me...pain
I didn't think you would ever top Lucas & Alex, but holy
shit...this book did. The last 70% I was a sobbing mess...talk about ugly cry.
My hubby came in and was like “Are you okay” I screamed at him NO! That is not
to say that I didn't cry earlier either because I did within the first few
chapters. This review is going to be vague because I don't want to give
spoilers away….or at least I will try not to.
Each book in this series is a standalone, however I
recommend starting from the beginning and reading all of them. Each one is
different and each couple has its struggles and triumphs. The feels these books
give you is a shot right into the heart. I loved how you get each characters
POV. Love dual POV's...more insight into their minds and feelings. I also love
how M. goes from the past to present. She explains the road each character
takes and how they got to where they are.
Pick a scar, Austin. Turn your pain into something fucking
beautiful
Crave Me starts off right with Daisy who at the age of six
lost both her parents in horrible car accident. She blames herself for the
events of that day and feels that she killed her parents or at least was the
cause of the accident that killed them. Her life was forever changed that
day…Daisy no longer existed, Briggs was born. Daisy is sent to live with her
uncle, who she doesn't know, but has been granted custody of her. As Briggs
grew up, she was moved from school to school, never had friends, no laughter or
love was given. She grew up in an emotionless house or at least she felt that
way. Everything changes when she turns fifteen and she's introduced to the
world her uncle lives in. My heart just broke for this girl who lost
everything. But soon something epic is going to happen...her life is about to
take a life changing turn ... she sees him...
I felt a pull towards him, like he was a piece of a puzzle that was
missing from my life.
Austin oh my Austin...he had so many demons where do you
start. He was lost, always felt he was in the shadows of Dylan, Lucas, and
Jacob, the good Ol' boys. Half Pint and him had a different connection and I
loved seeing their interaction. But what destroyed Austin was the car accident.
He almost killed half pint and knowing that was the end of the Austin we knew.
He became a slave to the destruction of his body and mind. He would have to
live with the internal and external scars forever and he couldn't cope with
that. Not only did everyone blame him because the one thing he was supposed to
do, he failed...he didn't keep Half Pint safe, his parents or at least his dad
practically disowned him. Dropping out of school, he takes off on a journey
full of no emotional attachments, no future, nothing period except for a good
time. Until he sees a vision...a girl who he is drawn too.
This girl...THIS FUCKING GIRL...Was going to be the end of me.
This story has so many levels to it...I felt at times I was
suffocating from my heart being in my throat. Love, Hate, Forgiveness, Regret
don't even begin to explain this story. Its like you are drowning and you are
trying to break through the surface, but something keeps you from raising your
head above the water...torment. I kept wanting Austin to grab on to the rope to
pull himself out, but he needed to experience rock bottom. I wasn't sure if he
would, sometimes people don't have that, and I was afraid he wouldn't.
Austin you're addicted to drugs...I'm addicted to you…And our love is
fucking toxic
I thought M. did a phenomenal job explaining what an addict
goes through and especially for those who stand by them. Its a daily struggle
and I have never been through this with someone who I was romantically involved
with, but I have with a family member. M. didn't sugar coat the experiences,
she took a topic that is difficult and gave you truth. She gave you glimpses
and some real moments to what someone in this life struggles with. She gave you
moments of what loved ones deal with. An addition doesn't just touch the user;
it touches the family. You may think that you can hide things, but eventually
your time runs out. The lies creep up and as someone who dealt with this in
their family, it has you questioning a lot. I thought that Briggs did a
fantastic job with Austin. She was an enabler to an extent and that is hard
when the person you love is doing something to destroy them, you want to help
them in any way possible. But towards the end she held her ground and gave
tough love even if it broke her in process.
The day you walked into my life I started living again. You gave
me a reason to start living again instead of just surviving
I can't begin to explain this story and do it justice. This
whole series is phenomenal and was a totally different experience from Monica's
other work. I was lucky enough to be involved right from the beginning and I
thank her for letting me be a part of that. I can't find the words ...
spellbinding, captivating, hypnotic, mesmerizing….I seriously could go on and
on. This whole series is one of my all-time favorites. This will definitely be
a re-read for me and I highly recommend it! 5 Survivor Stars!! Even though that
is not enough, didn't want it to end!!!
*Review by Heather Driscoll
Colors
blended together making it hard to focus on one thing. I blinked a few times
and just like that…
I
saw her face.
As
if she was standing right in front of me.
Smiling.
Happy.
Laughing.
My
whole world…
My
girl.
I
felt my lips curl up slightly at the vision as I reached out for her. Wanting
to touch her, needing to hold her, yearning to kiss her. Craving, God, craving
to fucking love her.
“I’m
sorry,” I murmured out loud to no one but the illusion of my drug-infested
mind. “I’m so fucking sorry,” I repeated repentantly, longing for her to
believe me.
Aching
for her to love me again like she used to.
I
don’t know how long I sat there, staring at her beautiful face before my eyes,
subconsciously rubbing the tattooed key that was placed over my heart. I
couldn’t take it anymore, and the desire won over the haze.
It
was too powerful.
It
was too vivid.
I
grabbed my phone. “Baby,” I said into the speaker. The ringing quickly
followed, going straight to voicemail. I hung up and tried again. “Baby,” I
urged with desperation in my tone.
Still
nothing.
I
tried again and again and again.
I
would try until the end of time if that’s what it took for her to answer.
To
talk to me.
To
save me.
To
crave me.
Time
just seemed to standstill, as my life slowly played out in front of me. Trying
to balance in between the light and the darkness when all I could see was gray.
“What?!”
she screamed into the phone, finally answering after I don’t know how many
failed attempts. “What the hell do you want now?”
“Mi
cielo.” I breathed a sigh of relief.
She
ignored my term of endearment. I hadn’t called her that in such a long time.
My
heaven.
“What
do you want, Austin? Why are you calling me? We’re over! I can’t do this
anymore!”
I shut
my eyes and let my mind wonder, allowing it to go to another place in time
where she didn’t hate me.
“I
remember the first time I made you smile,” I chuckled, as if it had just
happened.
My
nerves were on fire. The mere sound of her breathing through the phone was too
intense for me. I licked my lips, my mouth suddenly dry.
“I
remember when you used to smile just for me. Do you remember, baby? Do you
remember what my love feels like?”
I
heard her faintly breathing.
“Do
you remember my hands on you? My lips? My tongue? The first time I made you
come with my mouth? Do you remember all the times since? Tell me I’m not
forgotten. Tell me you remember, baby.”
Silence.
“I
love you, Briggs. I love you so fucking much. You’re killing me, don’t you see
that? I’m dying without you.”
“No,
Austin. You were dying with me,” she rasped, knowing that it killed her to say
that.
“The
first time I saw your face, I thought to myself, damn, this beautiful girl is
goin’ to be the death of me. You were perfect in every way. I was a cocky son
of a bitch who needed you then, as much as I need you now.”
More
silence.
“I
had a dream about you, baby. I always fucking dream about you. In my dream you
had a ring on your finger. A ring I put there. You belonged to me. Only mine.
Forever fucking mine. You were pregnant, Briggs. You looked so goddamn happy. I
saw light at the end of the tunnel for the first time in years.”
She
sniffled into the phone.
“I
made love to you. Slow, just the way you love. Taking my time to touch every
last inch of your body. Memorizing every last bit of you. Making you come until
you begged me to stop. I didn’t.”
“I
can’t—” she tried to interject, but I didn’t let up.
“I
kissed your stomach. Our baby. Letting my lips linger there, whispering sweet
lullabies, letting her know daddy will always be there. Baby, it was so real.
For a second I gave you the one thing you so desperately wanted, the one thing
I can’t give you.”
