MY REVIEW -
Love and second chances – my favorite plot ever!
Reed had made a mistake, but he had to do it to protect Elle. But can he just come
back after vanishing without a trace and redeem himself with Elle? She might
have moved on, or she could be very well angry at him after what he had done.
All he wanted to have is the CHANCE to explain to her what happened, and why did he
had to leave. He needed to tell her he loves her, and his feelings were real no
matter how short their relationship might be. Now, if only she’d give him the
chance…
From one broken heart, to the next – Elle was indeed unlucky. But this time, it was
much too painful. She gave him a chance, he left her with a broken heart. She
tried to move on, made new friends, and finds the distraction she needs to keep
her mind off Reed. She tries to live her life, until she sees Reed was back in
town again…
I wished she didn’t cross THAT line with Tyler. I felt she was abusing him. She needed
the friendship he had to offer, since he was always there for her. He had a BIG
thing for her since then, now with Reed nowhere in sight, Tyler took this as a
sign that finally he can have his chance. Maybe, if Reed was really an ass, I would
have wanted Tyler for Elle. They would have been good for each other.
As for Reed – he is surrounded by girls who were trouble. I can’t help but shaking
my head as he tries to get Elle back with desperate measures, employing the aid
of someone who really CAN’T be trusted.
It took a while, but when the CHANCE to EXPLAIN finally came through, and they
made up – ayeee! It was just wonderful – they fit each other like gloves: so
perfect for each other. The sex was explosive, and the love was just stronger. And
just when everything was going smoothly, another bump in the road came into
view… will they make it this time?
I enjoyed the dual POV, I have always wanted to get into the thoughts of the main
characters. Elle MAY have made me frown at first – with all her tendency for “rebound”,
but still, I like her when she finally gave Reed the chance he had been wanting
to have. As for Reed – his persuasiveness, mixed with desperation may have been
a little dangerous and nearly cost their relationship, but I admire his
determination to winning our girl back. In addition – the secondary characters
in this story are just pretty spectacular! They were great friends and support
system to both our main characters. Help came surprisingly from someone I didn’t
expect…
The road to forgiveness was a bumpy ride with a whole lot of whining, hurting, and
there were just too many people involved which made the whole thing a lot
messier. Wanting Reed is about love and second chances – on how much faith you can put into a relationship, how much trust are you willing to give to a person who can hold so much power to destroy you. It’s about friendship – being there when friends needs you the most,
and helping out when times get tough.

TEASER -
"I've never been good at games." I reply softy. I can't pull my eyes away from his achingly perfect face.
"I can start off slow." His voice is husky and enticing. Leaning in closer his eyes search mine, gauging my reaction. He reaches down and strokes my cheek, and the way my body responds to his touch is just... indescribable. “I’m jealous of your pillow and sheets; I want this cheek to rest on mine and I want to keep this body warm,” he whispers, his lips right above mine.
My heartbeat spikes and I close my eyes. I inhale, soaking all of him in: his scent, his image, his words. I try to fight the urge to touch him, to fight the fact that I want him to touch me. It’s so painful, my senses are screaming for him. Opening my eyes, I don't move, waiting, knowing from the look in his eyes that he wants the same thing. But he stops and retreats. He smiles flirtatiously and lifts one perfect eyebrow. I'm breathless and my head’s spinning with the thought of being so close to tasting him.
"Let's go and join the party," he says. Taking my hand, he turns to the entryway, but when he sees that I'm not moving, he looks over his shoulder. “What’s wrong?" He asks playfully. "You look disappointed. Were you expecting something?” He smiles crookedly, his eyes warm and intense.
“No. Nothing.” I blink, inhaling a deep breath, catching myself before I say or do something I'll regret.
