Ripple Effect #1
Ripple Effect
With Brock, I thought we had a love to last forever. Until the night it died a quick, tragic death, leaving me broke, and destroying my ability to trust another man with my heart. Now Brock is back and after years apart it's time to face my past and finally get some closure, no matter how much I still love him. With Ripley, I was getting the home I had always dreamed of instead of the home I grew up in. I grew up in a home filled with violence and hate. Unlike my father, I vowed never to hurt the people I love. Until the moment I did just that. Now, I'm out of the military, returning home. I don't expect to see Ripley and haven't laid eyes on her since that night, but even after six years, the feeling I have for her are still there. It's time for me to face the demons of my past--the same demons that Ripley's been fighting this whole time. Can Ripley forgive me, and even if she does -- will I be able to forgive myself for hurting the only person who ever mattered?

A Midwesterner and self-proclaimed nerd, Evan has been an avid reader most of her life, but five years ago got bit by the writing bug, and it quickly became her addiction, passion and therapy. When the voices in her head give it a rest, she can always be found with her e-reader in her hand. Some of her favorites include, Shayla Black, Jaci Burton, Madeline Sheehan and Jamie Mcguire. Evan finds a lot of her inspiration in music, so if you see her wearing her headphones you know she means business and is in the zone.
During the day Evan works for a large homecare agency and at night she’s superwoman. She’s a wife to Jim and a mom to Ethan and Evan, a cook, a tutor, a friend and a writer. How does she do it? She’ll never tell.

Did I read the same book as everyone else? I'm struggling with rating this a generous 2.5 stars. He's an idiot - and a huge wimp at that because when the going gets tough he runs away .... over and over again. I need my men to be MEN, sadly Brock was anything but.
She teetered on doormatdom on several occasions, and there was way too little character development with a rushed ending that was wrapped up all too conveniently.

Brock James has loved Ripley Brown for 4 yrs. Their love is pure but their lives are polar opposites. Where Ripley has two loving parents Brock deals with a father who beats him and his mother. When something happens that shows Brock his worse fears may be real he runs. In the process he shatters Ripley and starts an unintended series of events that will haunts both with the outcome.
Now 6 years later Brock is back. After serving 2 tours in the Marines, a purple heart. He is coming home. His mom has left his dad and he will help her get settled in her new life. What he isn't ready for is seeing Ripley and her son. He wasn't expecting that. They are thrown together when her son and his massive great dane dog become best friends.
Is the love still there? If it is, is it strong enough to try again or something that was lost years ago? They will face many turmoils with a relationship, their past, and their future. Are the both willing and strong enough to risk the pain all again? That is the questions.
This is a well written novel that I couldn't put down. The son stole my heart. I "lubbed" him!

This book just didn't do it for me. I couldn't connect with any of the characters. There was a lot of telling rather than showing. It felt like the whole book was written in this format: And then I ran to my car. And then I pulled up to the restaurant. And then I had pizza. And then I went home. Also, didn't really get the use of some of the characters... the neighbor Tim, Ripley's old best friend that stopped speaking to her. They were pointless. And we're supposed to believe that after a whole adulthood of horrible behavior, Brock's Dad magically changes at the end and everyone softened towards him??? None of it felt authentic or rang true. Brock went to a therapist but we barely heard about anything he might have been working through even though that would have connected us to his character and given more justification for his actions. Too many misses for me.

Fair warning, long post ahead.
Well I just finished reading Ripple Effect by Evan Grace. Some of you might know I just became Evan's PA back in January. What an honour it is. It can be automatically assumed that I have to give high praises for her stories. WRONG!! I do this voluntarily and so I still get my freedom of speech. If I wouldn't have liked her story, I would have told her so and kept my review to myself. I started being passionate about reading when I was around 12 years old. More than 33 years later, I have a lot of books under my belt. So I have a good sense of critique when it comes to books. I don't have it in me to lie when reviewing a story. My reviews come from the heart and are honest. Authors are artists so writing is an art. The indie authors, to my opinion write the best stories because it comes from the heart and not what they are told to write.
When I first read the blurb, I immediately thought to myself "OH! WOW! This is going to be a great story. WRONG AGAIN. It's a phenomenal story that had me so twisted in knots that I couldn't put it down for very long. I even read it while doing my treadmill. I was sucked in so deep that I wanted to stay there. This story is not only a romance with a second chance but it's about family and friends helping each other, being there in a time of need. I'm not one to jump with joy when there are too many key players. In this case, they are necessary to the development of this journey. These characters were so well developed that they oozed raw emotions and they made me feel so much. Heartbreaking moments that made me shed a few tears but the heartwarming ones outweigh them.
Evan kept me guessing until the very end with some suspenseful events. Honestly, since I'm in good authority with the writer, I kind of knew some of what was going on. Guess What? I had quite a few WTF moments that left me baffled and speechless. For me that's a good thing and for you readers it's a promise of an amazing story that is full of surprises at every turn.
I know liking a story is subjective but I'm positive that the readers will love these characters, the storyline and seamless plot as much as I did. The ending does have a kickass HEA that will make you swoon and say "AWWW" This is a 5 star story that is not to be missed.

When Ripley and Brock started dating they were still in high school but they had big plans of going to college together and even went as far as picking out the names of the children they would have someday. At the end of school party something terrible happened and Brock disappeared and even though she tried Ripley couldn't find him anywhere. Six years has past so when her son runs to hug a dog she can't believe that next to him is Brock. Brock is home to help his mom out and he wasn't sure if he would see her and if he did would she even talk to him? This is not your typical story of someone loving someone else this is really about coping, trust and a little bit of fate. Ripley and Brock have never stopped loving each other but after everything that is thrown at them and the hurt you can't see any way past it. Evan Grace is a new author for me but you can bet I am going to check out her other stories to see if she can engage all your emotions like she does in this story.
I requested this book for Farr from the author and I have chosen to review it

Wonderful read!! It has been a long time since reading an Evan Grace book, but it sure reminded me how great her books are.
We meet a sweet couple Brock and Ripley. They are young and one night when something happens nothing is ever the same...... Due to this event Brock leaves, not goodbye nothing!! What is a love sick girl supposed to do? She slips down a rabbit hole that forces her life in a direction that forever changes her. She has a hard time dealing with everything that life has thrown her, but she is strong. With the help of a wonderful friend she finds her way. This book causes so many, many emotions that you don't know if you should be happy or sad.
This book was written where each chapter pulled you in further and further until you couldn't stop till the book ended. Loved it!!

There are many things I can say about this book but the one that stands out the most is beautiful. Evan Grace has outdone herself again with this book.
I would recommend this book and author to anyone who loves getting emotionally involved with the charecters and doesn't mind a beautiful love story that is not an easy love story that is a well fought love.
The love between the characters captures your attention and you can emerse your self in their lives and feel deeply the emotions that they are going through. Ripley and Brocks story was one of the most beautiful I have read it wasn't an easy path for them.
I hope if you read this book that you get as emotionally involved with the charecters as much ad I did.

Read
September 14, 2023This has a few interesting twists\highlights ,However, given its meandering pace and the fact that the odd nuances either don't entirely pan out and or tend to confuse ,I.felt the journey was far from smooth and therefore as a reader felt a bit left out in the cold left with a lingering sense of disappointment.

4.5 stars rounded up
**Review of the audiobook**
STORY
Having never read anything by Evan Grace before, I was thrilled when I was immediately sucked into this story! Unfortunately, like with many stories romances, one of the characters flees from the relationship for fear of hurting the other even though they’re both madly in love with each other. Aside from that minor annoyance, the storyline was fantastic! It’s not all that unique or innovative but it is certainly very well told and super entertaining.
PERFORMANCE
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Marnye Young and Sam Smith. This is my favorite type of audio book, a true duet where the male narrator reads for all of the male characters and the female narrator reads for all of the female character parts. I loved the back-and-forth of the two voices, especially considering how talented both of these narrators are. I’m absolutely certain that their performances enhanced how much I enjoyed this audiobook! There are several characters in this book and both narrators made obvious attempts to alter their voice for each of them, helping listeners differentiate between them all. The only complaint I have about this performance is that there were a few occasions where the production wasn’t perfect. For example, there is one scene where both the narrator’s voices sound muffled and there were a few times where the volume went from high, to low then back to high again. Although this was noticeable, it luckily wasn’t ever too distracting.
Although I didn’t love the slight accent Smith used while reading for Jonah, he does an excellent job with his other parts. Ms. Young on the other hand absolutely blew me away; I have nothing but positive things to say about her flawless, convincing, exceptionally talented performance! I would be very surprised if Young hasn’t had years and years of extensive acting lessons… Her voice just drips with emotion (when necessary and appropriate) and she does things such as slightly chuckle, sigh or pause in all the right places – she’s just amazing!

Loved it
A sweet love ripped apart when they were young. A second chance years later, made for a great read. I loved the characters and the second chance theme all the way around.

Not my kind of hero.
April 24, 2017
This is a beautiful second chance romance that will have your heart tied up in knots. Ripley and
Brock’s story is not an easy one to read and at many times I wondered if they really had a chance at happiness at all. Then at other times during the story it was so obvious to me that these two were meant to be, no matter what tried to stand between them. It just seemed that fate wanted them to be together and that we needed to trust that eventually the timing would be right.
The first five chapters of the book are set during Ripley and Brock’s senior year in high school. They are very much in love and are busy planning their lives together, counting down the days until college and picking names for their future children. The night of their last party as seniors, an accident tears them apart and changes both of their lives forever. The ripple effect from this one incident is felt for many, many years and changes the course of many lives forever.
Many years later, when Brock comes back to town after having no contact with Ripley, he’s shocked and saddened to see her with a son who is the spitting image of her gorgeous face, but isn’t surprised at all that she still feels betrayed, destroyed and has nothing but rage to direct at Brock.
Brock still isn’t sure what he wants and he’s got a looming deadline. He’s supposed to re-enlist or end his service agreement with the Marines in the next few weeks. Seeing Ripley again confuses him further. He realizes that there will never be anyone else in his life that he’ll love like he loves
Ripley, but he still feels that she should be with someone better than him. He’s positive that he’s not worthy of her and she doesn’t know if she can forgive him or ever trust him again, but when their hearts let their guards down, it’s clear what they want. Ripley and Brock just have to convince their heads to go along with their hearts, which is much easier said than done.
Together can they heal each other’s hearts and look to a future together, rather than living in fear of the past?
This heartfelt love story is emotional, heart-breaking, but above all hopeful. A love that is meant to be can overcome any obstacles in its path and the love between Ripley and Brock is that special, once in a lifetime, forever kind of love.
Standalone novel. HEA. No cliffhanger.

Ripley Brown thought she had the kind of love that would always last, but when one bad choice ended it, it broke her. Brock James grew up in a bad house, and he vowed to never be like his father. That is, until that one night where he became worse than his father in his eyes, so he destroyed everything as he leaves without looking back. Now years later, he's back from the military, and hoping not to run into the girl he hasn't laid eyes on since that night, Ripley. Fate has different plans for him however, and now he must face the demons of his past, and try to win her back. Ripley is very different than that young girl, and although she never stopped loving Brock, she has more to lose this time if he runs away again. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Evan Grace's writing so much, that I would be willing to read and review her grocery list. Ripple Effect is a heart wrenching story that kept my heart racing cover to cover, while pulling out all of my dramatic emotions. I physically hurt for Ripley so much, and frankly, I was still enraged at Brock for his choices, even though he thought he was being the good guy. Evan Grace's brilliant writing style laid my emotions out raw, and my eyes even leaked a time or two. All of that angst was overpowering, and kept me talking to my kindle beginning to end. A couple of twists out of left field only made the f-bombs dropping louder, as I never saw them coming. Add in a dog, and a tiny human, and the well placed humor gave me a break, which had me laughing. Again, I must reiterate how much I LOVE this author, so I'm in a constant state of impatience for her next masterpiece, but in the meantime, I can't help but HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ripple Effect to ALL FAR AND WIDE!

If i could give this book 10o stars i would!
This book has every emotion in me on high alert. I laughed, I cried, I was so mad at points i wanted to punch someone who doesn't even exist lol, I felt lonely, i felt dispair, I felt hope.
Ripley and Brock have fought their demons alone for a very long time. For a few short years they had it all, everything looked bright in their future even when things were dark and dismal in the shadows of Brock's life. He had plans for his future and they all included getting away from his past and moving on to a future with Ripley. Then his shadows catch up to him and he has no choice but to flee and save Ripley from himself.
Ripley was a broken individual. Half of her would never be ok. She was dead on that side. She was complete one time..she had it all. Then one terrible night ended it all and without any chance for her to question it Brock was gone. She searched and searched but there was no trace of him anywhere and nowhere to get any answers. Until over 5 years later when a chance meeting brings the past and the present crashing together.
Can Ripley get her answers finally? Can she open her heart again and risk it? There's much more at stake now then just her heart. Have Ripley and Brock grown strong enough to stand tall this time and not run when the times get tough?

I absolutely love everything Evan Grace writes. So when the opportunity to review this book opened up I jumped at the chance and I am so glad that I did. Once I started this book I couldn't stop, it sucked me right in.
This is the story of Brock and Ripley. Their story is delivered so beautifully and it was so well written and the characters were so well developed. Ripple Effect is a book jam packed with emotions both happy, sad and some were downright heartbreaking. Ripley believes she has it all with Brock but that all changes in one night and Brock disappears without a trace, without a goodbye. This breaks Ripley to the point where she feels dead inside. She makes some bad choices during this time and it takes some time for her to start to set her life right. Years later Brock returns home and runs into Ripley and her son. Will Ripley get the answers that she has been looking for after Brock left? Can the two let go of the pain and find a way back to what they once were?
This book is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed!
I voluntarily read an arc copy for an honest review!

I'm by no means new to this author's work. Having read almost every release by her, I had to have this one as soon as I saw the cover. Then add in the second chance and military element and I couldn't resist. Nevertheless, it's safe to say this is probably my favourite Evan Grave book to date.
Ripple Effect was a book I couldn't put down until I finished it. I read the entire thing in one sitting and I want to read more. I loved the characters and the story--just everything about it.
Although sometimes things felt a little quick, Brock and Rippley were characters I rooted for. I wanted them to find their way back to each other and overcome all of the twists. Even six years later their feeling and chemistry was there. Their story sucked me in and I could easily read another book about them.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend this book. It's my favourite by this author so far and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Ripley had it all or so she thought. She had her entire future planned with the love of her life. One night destroyed everything.
Brock came from a home where his father doled out hatred and abuse daily. The one good thing he had was Ripley until he didnt.
Brock did the only thing he thought was right and he ran. Left with a destroyed heart Ripley made some bad choices. Just as she has her life back in order with a beautiful son Brock comes back.
This book is full of characters that shows you what it means to be family even if not by blood.
I've always loved a second chance romance and this one is beautiful.
Brock and Ripley will have you rooting for them even through the tears.
Don't wait to grab this fabulous read.

This is one of the books of the year you know the ones you wish you could rate more than 5 star, this was an amazing story that has all the ingredients to make you at times want to throw your kindle away. The storyline flows seamlessly with suspense as well as a second chance romance. Characters that you can't help but love and wish you could reach in and cuddle. There are moments so heartbreaking you will need a bucket load of tissues, other times you will be going WTF as something leaves you breathless This is a book that is a must read is so good and a fantastic HEA ending that leaves us the reader smiling.

I received an ARC of Ripple Effect and I have to say this book is one of the best books i've read. I love all of Evans books but this one is special. It pulls you in from the very beginning and I couldn't put it down. It takes you on an emotional rollercoater where you are smiling and laughing one minute and crying with tears running down your face in another. I would highly recommend this book because it's amazing hearing about Ripley and Brock's relationship and also Alex and Tinys special bond. I cannot wait for your next book Evan and thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your ARC team.

This book had my engulfed from page 1. I absolutely fell in love with Brock and Ripley and their story. I could not put this book down from the moment I began.
Brock and Ripley are high school sweethearts and we're each other's first everything, when an unfortunate accident happens, Brock runs and leaves. He doesn't want to destroy Ripley life. When he does come home, years later, will they be able to put the past behind them or is what they shared over for good.
This book had my tears flowing throughout the entire thing.

This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. I felt so many emotions and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. This story is definitely one you will start and not stop until you're done.
