Buckeyes Book Reviews: A.M. Willard's Unexpected Chances

Book Description:

Tabitha Michaelson: the fun loving, sassy girl who loves
anything that sparkles. What you might not know is, she took an oath years ago
with her brother Seth, vowing to lock their hearts and throw away the key. She
has spent years keeping up the happy façade and not letting anyone get close.

It's not until a chance meeting that Tabitha meets her match
in Carter Northwood.

Here's a man whose life has been filled with lies, threats,
and tangled webs of disaster. Carter knows that if he takes this chance at true
love, the world around him will tumble down like a spiral staircase.

Two hearts meld to form a single beat from the start. A test
of trust, infinite love, and a longing for each other's passion.

My Review:

I just finished reading this book and let me tell you, when an author ends a book on a cliffhanger it drives me crazy. What drives me crazy is the reason they leave the book like that is so you will get the next book because you are hooked. Well it worked on me, as soon as I was done reading it I got the second book. I loved this book. There was just the right amount of romance and suspense. I cried almost every time that Tabitha cried, it just tore at my heart the way she wasn't able to trust or love the way she wanted too. It also tore at my heart that Carter couldn't show how much he loves Tabitha. Carter has some secrets that are keeping him from being with Tabitha. I understand that he did it to protect her but it still sucked. The secrets start to come out by the end of the book but we don't learn all of them.
I'm trying not to give too much of the book away but it's so hard. I hope in the second book that Tabitha and Carter find their happy ending. This book had me hooked from the first chapter. I was trying to read two books at once but I just couldn't do it. I put the other book aside and focused on this one. I give this book five stars and hopefully I can read the next one soon, it's going to drive me crazy until I do.
