Excerpt:
“If I had come home sooner, would I have had a chance?” he asks, sinking down in the bed until we’re eye to eye. He knows he’s making it impossible for me to skirt around the truth.
Eyes don’t easily lie to eyes.
“Yes,” I whisper. “I waited for you. Until New York, it would have been you.”
His fingers come up, gently brushing a piece of hair from my forehead. “I really fucked up with you, didn’t I?”
“Neither of us was in the right place. It wasn’t our time.”
He moves closer, brushing his thumb against my cheek. My conscience whispers but the tequila screams. “When will it be our time?”
I think about Pierce. This weekend. Everything. “It may never come, or maybe, it’s already passed.”
“I’m going to fight for you,” he declares, propping himself up on his elbow to look down at me. “I thought I could let you go if I knew it would make you happy, but after sitting alone in this apartment all weekend while you were with him, I don’t think I can do that.”
I swallow hard. “And, if you don’t win?”
“I’ve already lost, so what do I have left to lose?”
And, he’s right. He’s already lost so much that the risk is minimal.
“Pierce trusts me,” I blurt, my palms sweating against the sheets.
He leans in, kissing my cheek. “He shouldn’t trust me, not when he has the one thing I want.”
“Blake?”
He slips out of my bed without looking back, carefully closing the bedroom door behind him. He wanted the last word, and he got it.
Our Review:
Reviewed by Donna ~ 4 stars
***ARC received for an honest review***
“Love is complicated, and in its
best form, it’s unspoken.”
I read both these books back to back and I am glad that I
did, I don’t think I could have waited for Love Unspoken to be released. This
is one of those stories whereby the author pulls you in to these characters
lives and they just take over. For the
hours that I spent devouring these two books all I could think about were Lila,
Blake and Pierce.
“Wounds that deep always leave
scars.”
This is another one of those books where everything is a
spoiler so I can’t even really go into details either. This story continues
where book one ended and Lila was alone, Blake had left and everyone else was
left behind to pick up the pieces. Lila was truly distraught, having moved to
Chicago to get over one heart break it was too soon to be going through another
and it really took its toll.
I have to admit, at the end of book one, despite what he
did, I was Team Blake; there is something about a broken man that really tugs
are your heart strings. I felt his pain, I felt his anguish, I felt his guilt,
I just felt everything and his poor soul just resonated deep within me. But
Blake has his own demons to fight and in hind sight I could understand his
reasoning, and knowing what I know now he did the right thing for him, but
perhaps he could have been a bit more open in the first place.
However, with Blake out of the picture we have Pierce
waiting on the periphery and he has to have been the most patient person in the
world. He has given Lila time to grieve the loss of her relationship with Blake
and finally months and months later he feels he can finally try his chances.
Pierce really comes into his own in this book, we see a totally different side
to him and there is no doubt in my mind that he absolutely loves Lila. Pierce
has it bad, seriously bad and I have to admit by the time this book really
comes into its own I was on #teamFENCE. I loved both of these men in their own
right, each having their own unique qualities that endeared them both. So once
again, I was torn, extremely torn.
“Our hearts weren’t made to hold
one person. They were made to love many with a special place for the one we
love the most.”
Lisa De Jong has always had a way with words and the
emotions that she manages to evoke from me always come from deep within. I had
so many tears and I mean guttural sobbing tears. This book destroyed me in
parts and while there can only be one winner, no matter who it was, my heart
would have been decimated for the other. This is testament to Lisa De Jong’s
talents, because it takes some talent to evoke that kind of reaction, it doesn’t
happen often. Yes I cry fairly easily, but to the point of guttural sobbing,
not so much. I was not a pretty sight
and by the end, even though I should have been happy, I couldn’t help but feel
for the one left behind.
“I’ve already lost, so what do I
have left to lose?”
This would have been a 4.5 rating for me, but I felt that
the ending was a little rushed. While the story still read well, I felt once
both men were back on the scene again it all happened too quickly. I also needed
to hear more from the person left behind. But I have to say, I thoroughly
enjoyed this series, I couldn’t put either book down and at the end I just
wanted more. I am hoping that Lisa De Jong writes a book for the man left
behind. As I said above, no matter who it was, they had made an impression and
I am sure for most Lila’s choices will always be questioned, but he needs a
book, I need to see him happy.
Lastly, I have to say Lisa De Jong; three little words
killed me in this book. They ripped open my already decimated heart. How three
little words could have that effect is a feat in itself, but what a powerful
quote.
“You’re my Blake.”
