I just finished the book Love Left Behind yesterday, and I'm having withdrawals today. Clearly from the title, it's a book about love. I would really like to do a giveaway for this book, but I don't have enough followers for that. Sooooo that won't be happening, sadly :(
The two characters of this book, Jackson Reynard and Emma Mills find love almost instantly, after Emma moves to New York to "find herself" after breaking off the engagement to her high school sweetheart. Jackson is an aspiring actor who works at a gym to supplement his income. The two hit it off instantly, and well, there is a lot of sex in this book. Now, I never did read 50 shades, because I heard it wasn't well written and those aren't the kind of books I have ever sought out to read. But this book was good.
**SPOILER**
After Jackson gets an acting job in California and Emma gets fired from her job (ugghhh, her roommate!) they decide to go together. Right as they're about to leave, Emma gets a call from home informing her that her ex-fiance has tried to kill himself and is in critical condition. Feeling guilty, she heads home while Jackson heads off to California. Emma keeps promising herself that she will go out there, but she feels too guilty to leave. Jackson unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep and asks her what's going on. She is shocked to see him and asks why he is there, as filming for his movie has started. He tells her that he quit, because he couldn't bear to be apart. -Cue my anger- Emma doesn't want Jackson to regret his decision and she tells him she is in love with her ex. A week goes by and she is feeling the wrath of her bad decision and calls to apologize...and, a girl answers the phone. I won't spoil that part for you. Fast forward 5 years and Jackson is a huge movie star, while Emma gets another position in New York and moves back. She unexpectedly bumps into Jackson and their relationship is like a roller coaster to the end. Sometimes the ride is slow, but I felt like I always wanted to know what was going to happen.
**END SPOILER
I seriously want there to be a real life Emma and Jackson. Like, really bad. The book was just so good and I'm hoping the author, S.H. Kolee, writes a second book about these characters. I don't even think I can place a look to the characters, I can kind of see what Jackson might look like, but I can't picture Emma yet. I might have to read this book again. Yes, it's that good. I have ready good books before, but I don't think I have ever read a love story where I could feel the connection between the characters. Summer is fast approaching, if you're looking for a good book to read and you like romance-go.get.this.
