Monica and Alex Waters have spent that last few months working to repair a broken marriage and rekindle their passion. Just as they start finding their spark, Quinn Matthews and his escalating career resurfaces, but this time Alex makes the decision to let Monica go.
The devastation of losing her high school sweetheart, her home, and even her dog twists Monica down a destructive path that alienates her from her closest friends and lands her in the one place she was trying to avoid… Quinn’s couch. Despite her efforts to resist jumping into his arms again, the spark between them reignites and sweeps her away on a whirlwind holiday. She finds that falling in love with Quinn’s family and lifestyle is as easy as falling for his ocean colored eyes. The problem is that it’s all too easy, and when she sees that Quinn’s reinvented life has completely shifted towards her dreams, she starts to question whether he’s too good to be true.
Quinn has a secret that was never meant to be, but will Monica be able to trust another man who’s lied? And now that Quinn’s got his happily ever after in sight, he’s not about to let her go or share her with another man.
REVIEW
4 out of 5 for this reader folks!
December Rain by A.L. Goulden is the second book in the August Fog series. The first book August Fog left us with a bit of a hole, and December Rain is all about attempting to fill it and get the reader closer to a HEA.
Monica and Alex are high school sweethearts and best friends somewhat trapped in a marriage they both are trying to rekindle. After they had both been unfaithful, they decide to do their best to give this relationship another go until Quinn (Monica’s lover) resurfaces and Alex truely sees how much Monica is in love with him. Realizing it’s time to let go, Alex sets Monica free. Monica struggles with losing her best friend and goes on a serious path of self destruction (she completely obliterates friendships .. so sad) that eventually leads to Quinn’s arms (errr… couch ..lol). While Quinn does his best to completely invest himself in Monica’s life, Monica does all she can to deem herself unworthy of his love and trust. Quinn has secrets too and before he is able to spill the beans to Monica .. the beans are spilled for him .. thus leading to more trust issues and a cliffhanger.
Obviously more to the story but that is the basics. OK …. so Monica drives me nuts in this book. The pity party bus she was riding really got on my nerves as did the patience Quinn had. New Adult angst is totally expected but I wavered on disliking Monica at times. Good thing Quinn is yummy in all ways and the fire between Monica and him is full on blazing. Some super hot scenes that left me in a complete puddle.
I will be reading the next one to see where these characters are going to end up. There is so much passion and love with the angst that it has captivated me and wanting me to ride this series out for sure!
HAPPY READING! 🙂
