FREE BOOK FRIDAY!!

HI CHICKS!!
IT's FREE BOOK FRIDAY!!
Buckle in, I've got a review and then several winners
to announce
SO stick with me!




April and Oliver

by Tess Callahan


I was obviously not meant to get any sleep this week. I've read one amazing book after another!

April and Oliver, best friends since they were kids, but later separated by time and space, find that their paths cross again due to the untimely and tragic death of April's brother Buddy.


Oliver, the overly responsible, engaged law student find himself more and more drawn into April, who needs to be saved most of all from herself and her past. Memories and loss combine, driving their need for each other once again. Sexual tension and yearning builds with a fervor, and more than once I wondered if they would destroy themselves or each other.


There is so much going on in this story that it's nearly impossible to give too much detail without making it seem like it's less than it is. It's the Longing that the author builds here that pulls at you and doesn't let go, not even when it's over. You can't help but to care about these characters when they're written and developed with such compulsion.


What I loved about the way these characters were written, is that even though I don't share their problems, I understood them, empathized with them and felt emotionally invested in their story.

Very interesting cover, Tess. The two layers of blue and dark sea and waves, is it a presentation of the internal turmoil Oliver and April have?
