Total Eclipse Of The Heart

Rate this book
Total Eclipse of the Heart...what does that even mean? Love was overrated, and when there was so much more to life, who had time to ponder on what love could bring? Sydney didn't, and Aaron certainly didn't. Watching their friends and family fall in and out of love only encouraged them to steer far away from it. Work, sex, food, vacations and money...that was the only thing on either one of their minds, but when emotions get involved, there isn't much that can stop them from falling too quickly into love's open door. Fighting against the growing affection that they have for one another, they struggle to deny what is taking place, not wanting to believe what everyone else is telling them. The proof is in the pudding, and when Sydney faces a traumatic experience, the only person that is there for her is the one person that she has been working hard to avoid. Seeing Sydney so vulnerable does something to Aaron...something that he can't explain. She captures his heart before he can even acknowledge that it's happening, and before long, they are both under the spell. Will they accept that love just may not be out of reach for them, or will they fight against it? Can Aaron and Sydney give one another everything that they have ever needed, but never knew it?

two in the chamber

I couldn’t wait to read about smart mouthed, Sydney and sis didn’t disappoint me ever! I loved that she remained true to her feelings throughout the read. Until she surrendered to the brutal force that is BDE Aaron! Aggressive and Assertive is how I liked and Aaron was exactly that. I kept waiting for a massive ball to drop between them, but it wasn’t as dramatic as I pumped myself up to expect. So all in all, I loved this book.

Good read

I’m not into romance stories like that and for that I won’t rate this lower than a 3⭐️. It was a good read for ppl that are into romance love stories, but I was honestly confused about how Sydney felt about Aaron especially at the beginning. She kept saying he was an a$$hole etc, but he hadn’t done anything to her. Her fault dude at the strip club and offered her a ride home to make sure she was safe and she snapped on him. So how was he in the wrong? I didn’t get that, and there was a bit of repetition with the whole “Aaron don’t like me” spiel. I felt like the author was trying too hard to convince us that Sydney didn’t believe he liked her, but she’s a grown woman and I’m sure at this age she’s able to tell when someone is feeling you. He wasn’t mean to her like she kept claiming I really didn’t understand her thoughts when it came to him. Also there were a few errors so I had to take away a ⭐️ for that.

You did that I really enjoyed this book it was everything. I love the fact that Sydney gave Aaron a chance no lie they made a great couple. I was happy that he was there for her every step of the way he surprised me when he pulled over when she was on that ground crying about her father and he stood right there until helped arrived. I can’t wait to see what you have next

Total Eclipse of the Heart

This was my first time reading this author’s work and I was thoroughly impressed. I loved the chemistry between Sydney and Aaron. But most of all I appreciated how strong they were together and on their own. The way the author told their story made it hard to put this book down 💖.

I would suggest taking the chance and diving into this book, you will love it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a great read. Both Sydney and Aaron were made for each. I liked when Sydney let him know I’m single and do whatever I want with whoever I want. I was glad when they stopped fighting the feelings they had for each other and finally gave into each other. This was a great read. 💙💙💙💙💙⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Must read

This was a very good read.It flowed really well and had a great storyline. I loved the fact that this was so different then most books out right now. This wasn't about a gangsta but working boss men and women.I loved how love came out of left field and blossomed. Hopefully we get a update on both couples. We need weddings and babies

Aaron

He was the right type of dominant to break her away from what she was use to and wasn’t gone take her ish
But she definitely crept her way into his heart and made him change for the better.
This was a great read I’m mad I read it so fast

Total Eclipse

My favorite part was the photo shoot because I think that when Aaron completely fell in love with sydney. I'm also glad her dad didn't die because I don't think she would of been able to get over it, and one herself up to Aaron the way she did

Arrogant Aaron for the win

So Sydney and Aaron an interesting combo and live story. Both did not see it coming and the sex scenes out of this world. Where can I find me an Aaron arrogant and all I’ll take it!

Love this story.

I love how Sydney tried to play tough when it came to Aaron but knew she wanted that man. Me too 🤣
This was a well written story and I truly enjoyed reading it. Each time I read this author, she gets better with her pen game.

Totally

The title was fitting for this story. In this one, two people so much alike in their desires and thinking, met, fell for one another and fought it with a passion. You'll see.

Quick love story

I love how this book made you fall in love with the idea of love, not just the physical part. Too many people fall in love with the physical part of love, sex and lust. But they don't take the time to fall for the mental part, passion, communication.
