ARC received for an honest review

I can't decide between 3.5 and 4 stars

I absolutely adored Jay McLean's more series, so when the opportunity came up to read Where the Road Takes Me, I couldn't say no.

Chloe and Blake's is a story of love when you least expect it, heck, even when you don't want it.

Chloe's family past looms heavily over her head and heart, and she has vowed never to let anyone get to her again. It really is quite heartbreaking what she has been through in her short life. And boy is it affecting her present and her future.

Blake's family life is hard, pressures to be what his father wants fighting with what he wants for himself.

When their world's collide, things change irreparably for them both.

But is it in a good of a bad way?

I could understand Chloe's reluctance to let people in, but oh my gosh I wanted to shake her and tell her to wake up and smell the coffee, stop and smell the roses. Her need to feel invisible, I just wanted to drag her up out of her self imposed loneliness!

Throughout the whole book "The Road" loomed like a mythical creature, always there between Chloe and Blake. I did wonder for a while if "The Road" was some kind of code for things a bit more sinister than just travel, especially with Chloe's darker thoughts at times.

I loved that Blake wouldn't take now for an answer. Every time she pulled away he moved himself closer. There is no denying the attraction between this pair. Now if only......

But will it be enough? Nope, for that you are going to have to find out for yourself.

Where the Road Takes Felt a lot more YA to me than her other books I have read.

There are some great secondary characters like Blake's Mum, Josh and Tommy, Mary and Dean - but I don't want to say too much about them or who they are to our sweethearts.

There were a couple of tears in the eyes moments while reading too.

An interesting premise and a good story.
