I’ve been burned too many times to count on my rise to the top. Plowing over anyone that tried to stop me, I’ve learned over the years how to get what I want. Women. Power. Money. I get it all. Well...I did. Until Annaliese. She’s a challenge I’m determined to win. I wasn’t looking for someone like her. I didn’t want someone like her. But here we are. I fell in love with her. And I want her. Forever. But what goes up must come crashing down. Right? So when the truth about her father comes out and the threats begin...I start to realize that high I was riding will eventually crash. And I need to be ready when it does because it’s my heart that’s on the line.
OMG!!! I loved this, there is nothing better than finding a read that ends up being AMAZING and this is one of those reads.. M. Dauphin is an amazing author and she just keeps getting better and better.. Just Go has everything a reader would want and more.. "It is just delicious"
This story is filled with secrets, danger, lust, love, lies, and some really super hot and steamy sex scenes. The characters.. WOW the characters! OH HOW I LOVED THEM... Adam Callahan the notorious playboy also know as Mr. Chicago. Annaliese Ryder she is soft, laid back has a strong will for independence, and doesn't let people play games with her heart. The chemistry these two have is off the charts..
Just Go is fast passed, well written, it has great character development, solid story line that flows smoothly, strong secondary Characters. (Benton I absolutely loved him. My heart is still hurting for him.)
Favorite quote: Adam I’ve never seen such true emotion, true joy, coming out of one person. She’s so beautiful, so carefree, and I want to make her feel like that every day of her life if she’ll let me. I want to be the reason she is that carefree and happy. I want her to know that I can be a good guy. I want more time with her
Just Go is one of those book you just can't put down. ~ No Cliffhanger ~ Standalone ~ Hot steamy sex scenes ~ Strong Characters ~ HEA
Overall Opinion: This was a pretty easy read that had some cute moments. I had a hard time getting into it and to tell you the truth -- I was debating putting in on my dfn shelf for a little bit. I made myself get to a little past the 30% point (which is where I normally push myself to get before giving up), and by then I was starting to get invested. It was a pretty light read overall which is surprising because it has some major drama going on -- I just felt like all the drama was handled really quickly and was swept under the rug.
Storyline: This is Annaliese and Adam's story. We meet them after they had had a one night stand. We get flashbacks for the ONS but don't experience it. It is explained to us that they met because Annaliese was being assaulted by a man in an alley, and then Adam saved her. It wasn't explained with enough details to my satisfaction because I felt like it was just vaguely thrown out there. Not the sexiest meeting I would think...but they went home together and had an incredible night. Adam is called Mr.Chicago by the media because he is a wealthy businessman that is also a notorious playboy. Once Annaliese figures out who he is (he left before she got his name the morning after their ONS) she is hesitant to start the relationship that he is proposing (because he cannot get her out of his head). She is also warned away from Adam by her father who explained to her that Adam cheated on his ex-wife constantly during their marriage . They do end up becoming a couple and after some major dramatic roadblocks (that all were resolved quickly and without further issues) and find their HFN.
POV: This alternated between Annaliese and Adam's POV.
Overall Pace of Story: Ok. Really slow at first, but then picks up. No instalove.
H rating: 2 stars. Adam.
h rating: 3 stars. Annaliese. She was ok...
Sadness level: Low. Good bit of drama, but because everything was wrapped up and tied with a bow at the end I didn't feel like it was heavy. No tissues required.
Heat level: Moderate. Some steamy times...just ok. There were comments about hotter times but not experienced -- bummer ;)
Descriptive sex: Yes.
Sex scene with OW or OM:
Cheating:
Possible Triggers:
Closure: This had a HFN ending with an epilogue. I still would've liked a little more closure to get us the HEA ending.
Mr. Chicago is hot as sin! It's no surprise but author M. Dauphin has done it again with creating a story that sucks you in with the feelings and the "oh-no"s and the "that did not just happen!"s. I've read this book twice and still don't have my fill of Mr. Chicago!
can u say freaking epic.. I swear everything I read by M.Dauphin is the freaking best. she did not let me down with Just Go. I knew that it would kick ass..like I always say when it comes to a book by her, if you are reading this to decide if you should read Just Go, dudes really just go one click and jump right on in. u will NOT want to put it down. M.Dauphin you know you kick ass but ima keep telling you lady friend..you my friend are the Damn bomb
this was a 3.5 star read for me. For me the story had a hard time keeping me interested. I didn't get some parts and why they were even in the story. Adam's ex stole money from his company and then that was it. Didn't go any further and I didn't get the story behind Joe the driver. If his family comes from money/power why is he a driver for the company????? Some of it didn't make alot of sense to me.
Wow!! Just Go, has steam coming off the pages! If your looking for a hot sexy read then you will absolutely love Annaliese and Adam's story... From the very start of their story they are like fireworks mixed with silky sheets, fiery passion meets burning candles... Intense heat!!! I loved most of the characters in this book except one really, who I wanted to junk punch repeatedly :{ And who can forget Adam's best friend Benton and Annalise's best friend Gabby who are amaaaaaazing! There are some major twist in this story that seriously can break your heart at times but doesn't end on any cliffies for those of you who hate them... Five Star Read Recommend to 18+up due to adult content and situations.... Happy Reading ~Laura's blogspotanythinggoes ~
How do you live and learn to love some one when you entire life has been nothing but lies. Annie has to learn the hard way, and Adam has to come to terms all women are not like his ex. This story of 2 people finding truths about each other and those around them, just might be to much to bare. Very well told story of heartbreak, heartache, trauma and love. Can these 2 characters rise above every thing that tears them apart? Can Annie get through all the lies that she is finding she has lived with for so many years? Can Adam love another after being destroyed? I suggest you read this story like I did. You can never go wrong with a Mallory Dauphin story.
'Just Go' is about the headstrong Annaliese and the forbidden relationship with the man she never wanted to be involved with. While she's trying to make her own way in the world, the truths of her family are revealed.
This book was full of heat and kept me interested from the start.'Just Go' was my introduction to M. Dauphin's storytelling and I'll definitely be back for more.
Just Go is the kind of book that takes you by surprise and holds your attention for long periods of time. It was so easy for me to become caught up in this book and the characters because there was so much going on with the storyline and the characters themselves. I definitely recommend this book and Crazy by M. Dauphin!
This was my introduction into M. Dauphin and I wasn't blown away. The editing could have had been a of better (a poorly edited book is a HUGE turn off for me.) The storyline seemed very slow and the twists were actually a little annoying. The reason for three stars and not less is because of Adam and Annaliese, I loved the characters!
Just Go is a standalone book by M. Dauphin. Great storyline that had me hooked from beginning to end. The characters were spot on with smokin hot chemistry and a ton of live. All in all a really great read that I would highly recommend.
