The Blurb:

It started with a parking ticket . . .
Who knew helping her out of that one little slip of paper would turn my world upside down?
I don’t do commitment.
Yet I can’t seem to stay away from her.
And that’s a problem.
Because when there's feelings involved, somebody always gets hurt.
She’s hiding something. I know it.
But when the truth comes out, will it set us free?
Or will it send everything up in flames?
 


My Review


4.5 Free from the past stars



I have been sitting on this book for a while. I got an arc and I was so excited to read it. Then I was asked to sew face masks for a local hospital. I had to put my reading on hold for a whole two weeks. I have never went that long without reading ever..... (I did cheat a bit by listening to audible rereads while sewing) As soon as I caught a break in sewing I dived into Free me and was totally captivated. I finished it in 10 hours. OMG it was so good. Emotional and addictive I couldn't wait to unravel Trish and Andrew's story.


Trish first showed up as a side character in the Paths to love series. So I already knew a bit about her. Then her story started and blew me away. Trish's back story was heartbreaking. I loved how strong she was. She was brave and smart. She didn't let her past hold her back and I loved that. Andrew I loved. He wasn't perfect. He had a hard past too and it colored his actions. Still he was protective, sweet, and a all around great guy. Trish and Andrew had a sweet slow burn love. I loved them together. There was great character development. I not only love but, I fell in love with some secondary characters as well. Especially Andrew's family. Overall it was a amazing read, the only problem I had with it was I would have liked about 50 more pages at the end. It felt a tad rushed after they resolved their issues. Other than that it was perfect and it was a real treat after not reading for 2 weeks.





Badger to the Bone (Honey Badger Chronicles, #3)Badger to the Bone by Shelly Laurenston
My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I'm so disappointed that I didn't enjoy this book more. I love Shelly Laurenston. She can make me laugh and smile like no other, but this book just didn't have the romance I come to love from her funny shifter books. I loved Charlie and Stevie's books, and I loved Max in those books, but this one was a bit of a mess. First off it jumped around so much. One minute we are reading from Max's pov then the next some random character from one of her many other series/books. The cameos of past characters was out of control. Truly I think I was visited by the ghost of every character of past. Some from books I read years ago and it would take me a bit to even remember who the heck they were. Which just took me out of the story and confused me. Add to that almost zero romance besides the rushed bit at the like 85% and it really didn't work for me. This book wasn't all bad though and it did make me laugh, but it's not want I wanted or expected.
