✦ CHECK OUT MY REVIEW FROM THE PREVIOUS BOOK IN THE SERIES✦
I liked
the first book in the Trace and Olivia Series, Finding Olivia – but the second
book is indeed a charm. No first-book syndrome for this one - because I fell in
love with it one chapter at a time.
Two years
later, Trace and Olivia were pretty much still in love with each other but were
acting more like a married old couple. Trace decided to go to a road trip to
bring the spark back not just into their relationship but into their lives as
well. He tells Olivia they would be heading north, but not the real reason why.
This REASON had caused me my tears while reading this story. I thought I would
just be laughing and smiling, and then all of a sudden, one knock, a door was
opened, and boom! One heck of a surprise for Olivia, and for ME.
Olivia
needed this road trip. Her mother just got married to a man two years older
than her. She just graduated from college, and is torn between applying for a
job and writing a book. This is one perfect opportunity for her to think, to
live life before it becomes tedious and to spend time with a guy she loved
most.
They knew
they needed it, but never really realized how much this trip would change them
both…
I must
insert one more book boyfriend into my heart, there should be another space for
TRACE.
He’s totally charming, his
humor was greatly appreciated, he’s so naughty but in a good way, he was not
shy about his emotions, I love that he sings, he’s really down to earth, he
would do ANYTHING for her, he gives her so much surprises and there is just a
lot of good things about him I like. This road trip is not just for Olivia but
for him as well. He needed a breather, and an escape. Because just when
everything falls into its proper place, a tragedy looms over his head.
I find
this book more beautiful than the first one because I couldn’t keep myself from
smiling. It started out to be a feel-good book – Trace and Olivia - road trip,
okay… but what I didn’t expect was the surprises along the way, the people they
meet that would change their lives and the people they would lose which is just
heartbreaking. It was an unexpected, but it didn’t make the story less
beautiful. This was one great road trip every reader would enjoy and look
forward too. As for me, I couldn’t wait for Trent’s book!!
Knock.
Knock.
Knock.
Bang.
Knock.
With a groan, I sat up. What the heck was going on? It had to be the middle of the night.
I climbed from the bed to investigate the strange sound. I couldn’t decide if it was someone knocking on the apartment door or something else. The noise was strange…
Once I was out of the bedroom, it was easy to deduce that the noise was, indeed, someone at the door. But they definitely weren’t knocking on it with their fist. It sounded more like they were using their whole body…or head…
Scared to go to the door—because let’s face it, I wasn’t exactly the strongest person on the planet—I went to wake up Trace.
“Trace,” I pushed his shoulder, trying to rouse him from sleep. “Trace,” I shook him a bit harder.
“Huh?” His eyes cracked open a bit, just a thin slit of green showing through.
“There’s someone at the door,” I hissed.
“What time is it?” He rubbed his eyes, yawning.
“Two,” I muttered, looking at the clock beside the bed. “I don’t know who it is and I’m scared to open the door,” I admitted reluctantly, playing with the ends of my hair.
He sat up and rolled out of bed, pulling on a pair of jeans, which he left unbuttoned. “I’ll check it out,” he assured me, kissing the end of my nose.
I tiptoed behind him and out of the bedroom. He undid the deadbolt and slowly opened the door.
Whoever was standing there fell into his arms.
“Avery?” I gasped, taking in the vibrant red hair.
“Mhmmmmitsme,” she slurred drunkenly.
Since she seemed to have lost the ability to move her legs, Trace picked her up, and gently laid her down on the couch.
I grabbed a bottle of water before kneeling beside her. She was completely wasted and the dress she’d worn to Nick and Nora’s wedding was ruined. It was covered in grass and mud stains, as was her body.
My eyes widened, zeroing in on something wrapped around her neck. I gasped when I realized what it was.
“Avery! Why is your underwear around your neck?” I bit my lip to hold back laughter. I mean, it wasn’t every day your best friend showed up at your place drunk with underwear around her neck.
“Huh?” She looked at me with bleary eyes and fingered the silky string of fabric around her neck. “Must have taken em’ off.”
“Obviously,” I snorted. “What were you doing?”
“I’m pretty sure it involved beer and sex in a field…by the way, don’t ever try that,” she warned Trace and me, pointing at us with a shaky finger, “it really itches.”
