Can Holly truly give herself to two men? She's only used to depending on herself. Steven and Kade have a battle on their hands to make her their woman.
Sam Crescent is passionate about fiction. She loves a good erotic romance and so it only made sense for her to spread her wings and start writing. She began writing in 2009 and finally got that first acceptance in 2011 by Total-E-Bound. She loved creating new characters and delving into the worlds that she creates. When she’s not panicking about a story or arguing with a character, she can be found in her kitchen creating all kinds of havoc. Like her stories the creations in the kitchen can be just as dubious but sometimes things turn out great.
First I have to say that I have loved everything else I've read from Sam Crescent and was a bit shocked with Holly's Awakening. This had a lot of potential. There seemed to be little editing. Using "she" when it should've been "he" more than once. Another example is at Loc 270 "Yeah, Callie appreciated our custom." I'm going to guess it was suppose to be something along the lines of patronage, seeing how it was about a purchase he made. Another at Loc 987: "Are you doing to answer her, or should I?" - doing should've been going?
I liked the plot and characters. The smex was really hot and I do like some m/m action; but again the number of errors made it a bit of a chore to get through:(
3.75 Stars. This story is short, fast paced, steamy and sweet. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I liked Kane, Steven and Holly. I liked them together and I saw some chemistry but I wanted more. I liked that Steven and Kane saw that Holly was at breaking point. Kane used dominance to bring Holly back to a world of feelings. I was rooting for Holly to get the happily ever after she deserved. My heart ached for the way she was treated by her family. Even when she was treated bad, she was selfless. She put herself in danger in order to protect her siblings. The storyline for this book is easy to follow and a nice read.
Holly story is a work of art I loved how her men saw through her picked up on the pain and abuse and rescued not only her but her siblings too. This book is so well written and you can visualise the characters so easily. Miss Crescent can do no wrong 💜
Steven hired Holly to be close to her. Kade wasn't sure about Holly, but he always kepts his eye on her. Holly was quiet, but very responsible for her siblings. Holly was a very strong person, but Kade and Steven helped her out of her situation and took care of her. Kade and Steven were awesome together and the way Holly accepted them and everything they wanted was awesome. This was a very good book!
Shy abused virgin who is abused physically and emotionally by her unfit alcoholic drug addicted parents. Who is a legal adult, is starting on a very emotional wake up call from two very hot men who happen to be in love with each other. They are dominating without being domineering. They happen to love that she is very submissive. Written well. Nice pace.
