Who We Were...

Who We Are...
Two grown men - braver and smarter than we used to be, trying to heal the damage from that irrevocable moment. Even though the past was behind us, dead and buried long ago, we found it impossible to move on without ripping open the scars of our deep wounds.
With twelve years of unanswered questions fueling our desperate need for the truth, we must figure out if who we were will destroy who we are.

4 out of 5 stars

I have been waiting on this story for what seems like forever. I know that the author worked on this story for a long time and I have to say that I really liked how it turned out. It wasn’t perfect and it wasn’t my favorite from her - but really, how can you beat Dax & Beck?!

I enjoyed that Quinn was there for Ryan through the bad, but I was irritated that Ryan kept running away. I have to say that if I were Quinn, I would not have kept going back to him - once, maybe. Three times, nope!

I did appreciate that Ryan was able to go make it on his own and get away from the family drama that would have been impossible for anyone to handle. And I liked the relationship Quinn had with his mom and sister. I think that this story had a lot more potential than it delivered, BUT it was still good. AND there were moments where the love and connection of the two was more than my heart could handle...like this time when Ryan told Quinn:

“Everything I am or ever will be is yours.”

How can you deny that?! Overall, I think this story really deserved to be told, but I was hoping for more -- maybe I just wanted more of them together at the end. Or maybe I wanted less separation during the story. Whatever it was that I can’t pinpoint, I just feel like I missed something so I couldn’t go to 5 stars.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream. Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.
