Review
by Kimmi
I
waited anxiously for this book! I counted down the days and mentally
crossed out each day in my mind calendar. The build up was so intense
on Saturday the 20th I almost had a damn panic attack, lol.
Now
for my review, I really did like this book, really I did. I liked
getting the POV of both Amy and Austin, the books that give that to
the reader are hands down always the best, in my opinion. However,
when I finished the book I had to sit and think for a while. I was conflicted and
couldn't explain or work out in my head why. Much less put it into
words.
At
the beginning me and Amy were not meshing, at all. That is probably
my fault because went into this book with out any idea about it other
than there was a MC, and a hot as hell tatt'd up alpha male, Wham, I
was sold, no need to tell me anything else. So I just dove into it
thinking the female lead would be a badass like Never was in CM
Stunich's Never series. Yeah, no, she is not, not at all.

Amy
is a 21 yo woman still living with her parents and still VERY MUCH
under their thumb. He father is a controlling, pompous hypocrite as
well an abusive father. And to top that off he's the towns minister.
Amy has always yielded to his wishes, and with her condescending
mother in the back ground she really has no one in her corner. After
years of being threatened to toe the line drawn by her parents and
the towns small minded bible thumpers, she reaches a (very small) breaking point
and gets a (even smaller) rebellious streak. Instead of avoiding the
motorcycle men that rally in her town once a year, she walks her
little cardigan wearing, below the knee skirt self right into the middle of
the MC crowd. Each and every one of these people look at her like she
is an alien. While she is admiring a pretty motorcycle Austin walks
up behind her, and her life changes in that moment, forever. She just
doesn't know it yet.
Austin
can not believe this little sweet thing is leaning over checking out
a bike. Where in the hell, errr heaven? Did this little innocent
little southern girl come from? All he knows is two things, one: he
wants to own her. Two: he'd bet a million bucks shes a virgin. And he
really likes that about little Miss Amy. He asked her out for drinks,
but he has a feeling she is going to be a hard one to catch, she's
not the one night kind of girl, she's the marring kind. And he is
NOT.

Amy
and Austin come together and light up the hot charts like the damn
4th of July. And it is sooo good, and sooo down right dirty! The smut
whore in me was purring like a kitten! I loved it!
But see there is
this other bitch, Mireya, and this is where I think my conflicts
begin, I don't like her whole character, she is a tough cookie, she
has a shitty past, but I don't like that Austin has had no problems
leading her on for the last decade, it was ding in his character for
me. More of my conflicts lie in the Pres of the MC, any SONS fan
knows, you can't have a weasel running a MC, at least with out hell to
pay, and usually quick, mean Dante's levels of hell. However, the MC members just continued to lamb along, even with all of these HUGE red flags
and alarm bells that all the members try to skirt around.
I
guess I wanted Austin to not be forced to take control, I wanted him
to just do it, like all of our other MC book lovers.
I
hate this review sounds negative, I really do. Because I did like the
book, I liked it A LoT! It was fun as hell to read, and it is a
fantastic launching pad for a kickass series that I'm excited about.
I loved the chemistry between Amy and Austin, I loved their story and
most of all I loved the end of this book. Losing Me, Finding you is
exactly that, Amy looses herself, but in loosing herself, she finds
her true self and she finds Austin, along with a love so awesome
that it was worth being lost for, to find.
Losing
Me, Finding You is a must read! And I give it 4 chrome and
tattooed Kimmi Stars ****
So I have never read CM Stunich but am right now going to check the author out along with this read. It sounds like a whole lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteLeti you will not be let down by CM Stunich! She is an awesome author. I recommend her Never series to all my friends! Tasting Never is the first book in the series.
ReplyDeleteAwesome review! And you always pick the best PICS! I'm 31% into the novel right now and I want to beat Amy and Christy's parents! They claim they're christians but, they're the spawn of satan! I'm soo rooting for Amy to get the hell out...
ReplyDeleteHa! And get some real undies at Victoria's Secret! LOL. Ditch those lame ones!
Hell yeah Finding Forever! Bunch of damn simple minded crazies in that town! I'm so glad you liked my review! Thanks so much girl :)
