Blurb:

The day I lost my best friend was the day I realized that I'd been living in the past. I've tried to find a way to heal, to mend that break. Somehow, I came through it partially whole. But I know I couldn't have done that without Aiden Connolly.
The problem is, he once loved my best friend.  And now she's gone, and I refuse to be in that shadow, or worse, a replacement for someone we both loved.

~~

I left them all behind.
My brother.
My family.
My best friend.
And her.
Only Sienna Knight doesn't realize what she means to me. But before I can make sure she knows, I need to figure out exactly what that is.

My Thoughts:

Sienna Knight is questioning her feelings.  It was interesting to watch her question herself.  But she has a great couple of friends that help her get out of her own head.  Aiden Connolly seems to be angry at the world.  His world gets turned on its axis when he steps in and stops something that had him rethinking his life.

This story is one about life’s choices.  Why do we choose our partner?  Is there someone else out there for us?  Can we be happy more than once?  Why do we carry on when our heart is broken?  Do I have the right to go after someone that I think is right for me?

Our author is such a great storyteller.  She knows the right combination that will get your heart and mind involved.  One good thing is that with all the ups and downs I didn’t get a case of vertigo.  I didn’t want this ride to end and luckily there’s another book coming out.  But sadly it doesn’t until January.  The good thing is that I can read the book I missed in the meantime.

Give Me Books Presents: Shouldn't Have You by Carrie Ann Ryan; #ReleaseBlitz, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #TBR, #Live, #Giveaway


Title: Shouldn't Have You
Series: Fractured Connections #2
Author: Carrie Ann Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 21, 2019

Blurb:


I've been many things in my life: daughter, friend, student, lover, wife…and now, widow. Getting past those labels and finding who I could be without them was the hardest thing I've ever done.
Then I became friends with Brendon Connolly.  Every time I look at him, I see a past, I see a present, and I’m afraid if I look too hard, I’ll see a future.

~~~

I've known Harmony Wynham since before she got married. Before she lost everything. I didn’t know that one day she wouldn’t be just my friend but the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
Only I don't think that can happen. Not when every time she looks at me, she sees what she lost, and I can only see what I can't overcome.
I love her, even though I shouldn't. Somehow, we need to find a balance.
Because if we don't, walking away will be the hardest thing I've ever done—even if it's the only thing I should do.

InkSlinger PR Presents: Breaking Without You by Carrie Ann Ryan; #BlogTour, #ReviewTour, #NowAvailable, #OutNow, #TBR, #Review


Available April 16, 2019
Rating:  4.5 Stars
Told in the first person.  Alternating persons.

About BREAKING WITHOUT YOU:


From NYT bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan, comes a brand new series where second chances don’t come often, and overcoming an unexpected loss means breaking everything you knew.

I fell for Cameron Connolly at the wrong time. And when he left, I thought my life was over. But then, after the worst happened, I truly understood what that phrase meant. Now, he’s not ready for a second chance, and I’m not offering one. Though given that our families have been forced together after losing one of our own, I know there’s no turning back. Not this time. Not again. Not when it comes to Cameron.

~~

I never wanted to hurt Violet Knight, but there were reasons I had to leave all those years ago—not that she'd believe me if I told her what they were. I not only left her, I also left my foster brothers. Honestly, I didn’t want to come back to Denver to help run my father’s failing brewery. But when it comes to my brothers, I know I’ll find a way to make it work. Perhaps I’ll even earn Violet’s forgiveness and face the connection we both thought long forgotten in the process. Because I wanted her then, but now I know I need her. I just hope she needs me.

My Thoughts:

Violet Knight may have you thinking about your own mortality. She shows how w all process things differently. The sad part was watching her put herself down for not seeing what was in front of her. Cameron Connolly has finally decided to own up to certain things. He shows that you can be a sibling whether by birth or by love.

This story is a reminder how sometimes we wear an invisible mask. There are things we don’t want people to see so we hide behind that mask in order to have people see what we want them to. We internalize our issues instead of talking with others. Is it we don’t feel they will understand? Maybe we feel hopeless? Could it be because of our upbringing? Or is it possible that they’ve been let down in the past and don’t feel as if anyone can help?

You would assume that Cameron would have it together but just because you’re a man doesn’t mean you don’t have your own set of issues. And I think that this is part of what drew me to this story. The heart may be an organ but emotions start in our mind and end up coming from the heart. We feel deeply about people close to us. It’s hurts when one of the people in that circle is no longer there. So depending on how emotional you can get, having a box of tissue near at hand may be a good idea.

If you like to have the TV on as you read, or in my case writing a review, be careful what’s playing in the background. I happened to be watching CBS News Sunday Morning and they had a piece on about a choir that came about due to loved ones that had gone missing – made me cry. That piece just added to the emotion that I was feeling as I read this book. One thing that came out in that piece and here in the book is that love can shine even as we experience pain for what we’ve lost. I look forward to seeing where the rest of this series is going to take me.
