paddlefoot55 's review for:

Jayde by Savannah Stewart
4.0

ARC received for an honest review

Though this is book 2 in the Behind the Words series, Jayde can be read as a standalone book. I have not read the first book (Arianna) yet, but this did not detract anything from this book.

From the minute I read the Prologue to Jayde, I knew I would be shedding a tear at some stage, and that we would be taken on an emotional rollercoaster.

And I was so right!

Feeling she and her boyfriend Cash are drifting apart, she surprises him on the road one day, only to find him in a compromising position, and her heart is shattered. She gets some unexpected news and life sure throws her a curve ball!!!

Nate has been a big part of her life for a long time, and he is the person she turns to when everything turns to crap. She goes ahead and makes some pretty big life changing decisions ~ not always the best decisions.

While I loved Nate and how much he loves Jayde, I just LOVED Cash. Yeah he f&*ks up, yeah he is a damn mess, but there was just something about him that you just can't help but love. He loves Jayde enough to let her go, no matter how much it hurts him to do so.

When tragedy strikes, Jayde hits pretty much rock bottom, and leans heavily on those around her to pull through. But can her heart take any more? Who will be the one to heal her and make her smile again? Or will the secrets and lies from the past keep everyone at arm's length and her heart untouched?

Uh uh, you will need to find out for yourself.

From the prologue to the epilogue, Ms Stewart drew me right into their world. Jayde is a story of love. Betrayal.Tragedy. Loss. Second chances and redemption. It is heart breaking but heartwarming.There were twists and turns in the story that kept my on my toes the whole way through. I am a bit of a sucker for a second chance romance, and this was just a beautiful written story that I couldn't help but love everything about it.

Now I need to go back and read Aria and Bryden's story, while impatiently waiting for Poppy (and I am assuming Riley's story from what happened in Jayde!!) to come out!
