Review: ANNA BROOKS

REVIEW 


MAKE ME FORGET (IT'S KIND OF PERSONAL #1)

Synopsis:
One lie can destroy everything… 

After enduring years of manipulation and an immeasurable amount of loss, Charlotte Kelly makes one last ditch effort to change her life and try to find happiness again. She knows she’ll see him when she moves back to Wisconsin. She’s planning on it, the connection she still feels to him after all these years is undeniable. But one lie tore them apart years ago, and she’s afraid some mistakes can’t be forgiven. 

Travis Parker doesn’t like liars. When he was younger, lies burned him in a bad way. It only took one summer with Charlotte’s innocence to know that she was it for him. When he thought he finally had something to look forward to, one misguided lie shattered everything he believed. Now, Char’s back, but she’s not the same girl he once knew. 


Review:
I absolutely love discovering a new author. I hadn't heard of this author before reading this book, but now I will be looking out for her work. I thoroughly enjoyed the book particularly the characters. Travis and Charlotte had an instant spark, they were adorable together from their first meeting at the beach. However life and death pulls them apart, taking their lives on different paths but their hearts were always as one! Will they be able to find their way back together? This story was written in different time frames. Occasionally this was confusing but overall added more depth to the story. We are also introduced to the families of the two main characters and I love meeting Charlotte's protective cousins, I wonder if they will have their own stories? I happily award  this book 4 stars

SHOW ME HOW (IT'S KIND OF PERSONAL #2)

Synopsis:
One choice can ruin everything…
When a stop at a shady motel puts Brandon Parker face to face with his best friend, Mary, for the first time in over a decade, he almost didn’t believe it.
He’d never stopped searching for her, but even a career in law enforcement couldn’t help him find a woman who wanted to stay invisible.
When Mary Benson ran away at eighteen, she did it with good reason. A man was in the hospital because of her, and the people she loved were in danger. She had to leave to keep them safe.
Mary's guilt was her consolation. She’d lived with her decisions and accepted the hand dealt to her. But Brandon was about to shuffle the deck in a way she never expected.
One thing was for sure, he thought she’d be happy to see him… and he’d never been more wrong about anything in his life.
 

Review:
I am so pleased to be able to read this book immediately after finishing book 1. I loved the glimpses of Brandon in book 1 but oh boy is he one hunky hero - a police officer!! He has spent his adulthood searching for his childhood sweetheart, Mary. Mary, however has spent her adulthood in hiding. We see the story move backwards and forwards in time and we learn why Mary ran away. We also hear the story from both POV and again this allows us to feel the emotions of each character. We also meet back with Travis and Charlotte from book 1 and all their relatives and friends. This book was better than the first as the differences in time were more clearly defined so I award it 4.5 stars!
