Loveswept
Welcome
to Panic, a sultry Miami nightclub where bodies and hearts move to a beat that
doesn’t stop at sunrise—the setting for an emotionally charged series from the
bestselling author of the Worth the Fight novels.
When
Katherine Wilson passes out in the arms of the hottest man she’s ever seen,
it’s not because of the lights, the pulsating music, or the crowded dance
floor. It’s because she can’t enjoy a night out like a normal person, not with
her debilitating anxieties. These panic attacks are going to destroy her life
unless she takes control—or gets a helping hand. So after the club’s bad-boy
owner personally escorts her home, Katherine feels something urgent and primal
awaken inside of her.
Nick Moreno
doesn’t need a headache like Katherine. A drug bust has put his father behind
bars and forced Nick to take over the daily business of his family’s South
Beach nightclub. His head tells him to walk away—but his body has other ideas.
Katherine’s vulnerability, her grace and courage, compel him to reach out. And
when they kiss, Nick is overcome by desire: to pull her close, and promise that
his embrace will always be the safest place on earth.

Nick and Katherine’s story is beautiful, spellbinding and
was an emotional rollercoaster. Sidney captures the realistic feelings of what
it is to live with an anxiety disorder. From the first page, I could feel my
throat closing up and my heart rate getting faster. I felt what
Katherine was feeling. I was in absolute awe of how captivating Sidney’s words
were, that had meexperiencing the characters anxiety right along with
her.
Katherine’s life is pretty much inside her apartment. She
can’t seem to get past the door to leave. She tries everyday to walk out the
door, even works herself into a frenzy thinking about it, but she just doesn’t
have the courage to do it. The last time she left, she had a panic attack and
ended up passed out in the arms of the owner of the nightclub Panic. When she
awakes, she sees the most beautiful man she’s ever seen, but he’s a jerk to
her. He doesn’t allow her to explain what happened, he just jumps to
conclusions an assumes she’s a junkie. Leaving her with an unsettling feeling,
Katherine tries to push through to get him to understand what is wrong with
her. But of course things don’t always go as planned. Will she accept that not
everyone understands her? Or will she get the courage and strength to prove she
is more than her disorder?
Panic’s Club owner Nick, has seen is fair share of drug
addicts to be able to spot them a mile away.. When this beautiful girl
collapses at his club, he knows she’s taken something that she shouldn’t have.
Not wanting to pull more bad publicity for his club, he decides not
to call the police. After taking her home and watching over her, she awakens
and he rushes out the door without letting her explain. He doesn’t need another
junkie in his life. But there is something about her that he is drawn too and
can’t seem to get out of his head. Will he let Katherine explain what happened?
Or will he stay away?
Ive decided I’m going to let myself fall in love with you.
Then
you need to catch up, baby, because I’m already in love with you.
The chemistry between these two was intoxicating. It was all
consuming and the whole book will give you the feels. It will have your heart
soaring, your skin tingling and you body sweating….not just from the
interaction between Nick and Katherine, but from Katherine’s panic attacks. This
is so hard to explain because you will immerse yourself in this story. You will
feel Katherine’s fears, her cries for help, her emotions...Sidney pours
Katherine’s thoughts and feelings out that you can’t help but feel like you are
right in the story with them.
This story is real and explores what it is like to live with
anxiety and depression. It also explores what it is like for the loved ones of
someone who is suffering from these issues. I know often times those of us who
don’t experience this level don’t understand why someone can’t just move on, or
cheer up or let things go. It’s not easy. However, I felt that Sidney captured
Nick wonderfully with how his mind was working in regards to Katherine’s
issues. At first he was a big jerk, but as he slowly started to understand and
things dawned on him, he grew into a compassionate man. He wanted nothing more
than to fix it, to be her savior, but he realized that she needed to help
herself that he couldn’t do it all. His character grew over the course of the
story as did Katherine’s. Katherine, I adored her. She showed so much strength
and power throughout the story. To live in constant panic, that one little
thing out of place or changed could cause her to go into a full blown anxiety
attack was just amazing to hear her thoughts and feelings. She didn’t change
overnight, it was a process. A long and hard process, but she eventually wasn’t
going to let her illness define her.
This was heartbreakingly beautiful!! A MUST READ! I would
say a top read this year! Grab your tissues because this will tug at you from
all angles! I just can’t put into words how much this book is...I just am
spellbound by it! Sidney Halston takes you on a journey of self-discovery, love
and acceptance. You will not be disappointed if you give this a chance! 5

USA Today bestselling author, Sidney Halston lives
her life with one simple rule: "Just Do It"--Nike. And that's exactly
what she did.
After working hard as an attorney, Sidney picked up a pen for the first time at thirty years old to begin her dream of writing. Having never written anything other than very exciting legal briefs, she found an outlet for her imaginative, romantic side and wrote Seeing Red. That first pen stroke sealed the deal, and she fell in love with writing. Sidney lives in South Florida with her husband and children. She loves her family above all else, and reading follows a close second. When she's not writing, you can find her reading and reading and reading. She's a reader first and a writer second. When she's not writing or reading, her life is complete and utter chaos, trying to balance family life with work and writing (and reading). But she wouldn't have it any other way.
