Book: Pulse, Collide #2
By:Gail McHugh
Genre: Romance
Release Date: September 2013
From the New York Times bestselling indie author, the conclusion to the sexy contemporary romance that began in Collide, about a woman torn between her seemingly perfect boyfriend and a dark, mysterious stranger.
“Do you know how scary it is to want something so bad you’re willing to change your whole life for it?”
Emily Cooper is ready to risk everything to be with the man who has consumed her thoughts and dreams since the fateful day they met. Unraveling fast, she can only cling to the hope that Gavin Blake still wants her.
Nursing his wounded heart, Gavin has cut himself off from society and retreated into a self-destructive, mind-numbing world. Emily isn’t used to being the strong one, but she’ll have to find the daring and confidence within to fight for their love and bring Gavin back from the edge—even if it means losing herself to their all-consuming, pulse-pounding passion. A New York Times bestseller, Pulse is the unforgettable conclusion to the story of Emily and Gavin that began with Collide.
Review by Lora Jarvis
Rating: 4 of 5 Hearts
If I thought Gavin was uber hot in Collide, he ricocheted up to ultimate man candy in Pulse. Emily and I pretty much stayed on the same level of friendship, but Gavin really brought his A-Game to this book.
Watching Emily wallow in her self-pity and refusing to really go after what she wanted made me wish she would wake up...when she finally goes after Gavin, my heart soared. He went after her so many times in Collide, that I was so happy to see his gestures being returned finally.
This book has plenty of drama to keep everyone on their toes, but the sweet moments where Gavin just loves Emily make the book such a keeper. I appreciate that Gavin loves Emily with so much of who he is and that finally Emily came around to accept that love and return it.
There were so many moments in this book when I wanted to be Emily and have Gavin comfort me in the only way he knew how...completely! Gavin and Emily finally find themselves in a place where life is happening all around them and to them in a way that they can both live at peace with.
