I have always been an avid speed reader, with far away dreams of authoring my own story. It was of frivolous talk throughout the years and one day I read a blog post written by one of my most favorite authors. Reading of her story inspired me, I then read her story to my husband and best friend. They gave me that final shove , a shove I am so very thankful for. One month later , and I am days away from releasing my first story. Here's to deciding what to be.
First Chance Review:
I had heard amazing things about A.l. Woods as an author way before I read this book, but after reading this I can understand why. The way she writes the interaction between her characters absolutely amazes me, and I could not put the book down. I read it all in just a few hours. You have Ryan this big hot shot control freak womanizing rockstar, and Natalie a girl with so closed off from everybody its sad. Both have been through their fair share of tragedy and heartache. When they meet in the book you can feel the electricity coming through the pages. They way that interact left me wanting to reach through my kindle and smack both characters. There were parts where I was just as mad as the characters seemed to be and parts where I just laughed. By the end of the book I was holding back tears and thinking why and no all at the same time. This is a must read and I can't wait to read more. There is nothing better then reading a book written by an author that can really make you feel the emotions! I can't wait to share this book with my friends.

Last Chance Review:
Well A.l. wood did it again. FIrst chance left me with one heck of a cliffhanger that i was screaming about. I was fortunate enough to not read it till this book was out when I read it so that I didn't have to wait long to find out what happens. The Journey with Ryan and Natalie continues with lots of twists and turns that keep you on edge and turning pages. or in my case yelling at the characters about using their brain. This is probably why I read this book in just two hours. I love how we got to see things from Liam and Layla's point of view to give us a more all round picture of what is happening. You get to see how much Layla is actually going through with what happened to her and Natalie when they were younger and also get to see Liam and Natalie also form a strong relationship.
I will say that even though I give this book a 5 star rating my only complaint was that I felt like the ending was rushed a little bit and I would have liked to see more detail into what actually took place during those months. but I still rated it 5 stars because I don't want that to discourage people from buying the book to read it because it is an amazing read. A.l. wood once again had you feeling all the emotions with the characters instead of just reading them as words. I can't wait for Liam's story. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone!
