This book promises to be hopeful and uplifting, and a magical tale of empowered women woven together across time. In my opinion, it was none of these things. It was, in fact, about three women who were treated horribly by men and happened to be from the same family and like bugs

I DON'T EVEN KNOW.

I have no thoughts in my head. I've taken a few days to gather my thoughts about this book, but I still feel lost. I also want to preface this by saying that I did not read Jamie's POV because by that point I was exhausted and did not care.

I have genuinely really loved the Edens series thus far, and I was very excited for this release. I wasn't overly into Jasper or Eloise as characters, but I felt the same way about Foster and Talia and they grew on me throughout their book. I had high hopes that this would be the same, and I was PRAYING for an ending that switched things up a little bit

At first, I was really into this book. I loved the backstory, and the PTSD/trauma elements we were seeing. A girl fighting for her freedom? A surly cowboy who isolates from the rest of the world? Say less. You've got me. I was hooked.

Tattered follows Thea and Logan, who had a one night stand in NYC that resulted in an unplanned pregnancy. Logan didn't give Thea his last name, and she wasn't able to track him down to let him know about the baby (Charlie). Fast forward six years, and Logan runs into Thea in small town Montana, and meets his daughter.

As with most of the reviews that I read, I needed more. This is more of an intro novella than a first book in a series, and I feel like I can't really form an opinion on it because I don't know enough. The cliffhanger at the end was aggravating instead of captivating, and just left me feeling empty.

If you enjoy character driven books that feel like real life, this is for you. It really does have it all - romance, emotion, depth, character development- and does it well. I am just a glutton for romance, and wanted to see so much more of Rhodes.

First off, I loved this book. I read it in two sittings and could not put it down. A Long Time Coming follows Lia as she is preparing for her wedding, dealing with a crazy MIL, and attempting to cope with the loss of her parents. Throughout it all, she leans on her best friend, Breaker, who is there for her no matter what.
