I received
this book as an ARC from the author for an honest review. This is book 2 of the
Attainment series. If you have not read book 1, please do not continue as there
may be spoilers.
Atonement
picks up immediately where Attainment left off. Reese is still struggling with
loosing Carter, finding out her truth of her rape, and being torn between John
and Tate. John turns into a full blown stalker in my eyes… so many times
throughout the book I wanted to hit him. I know there was an instant
connection with the two of them but you cannot feel that deeply, that quickly!
So many
things go wrong with Reese and Tate’s relationship. Between her hidden feelings
for John, Tate’s jealousy, finding out her best friend Elle has been secretly
updating John on her relationship status… which adds to his "stalker" status.. Ugh she has Tate, a caring loving guy.. what are you doing?!
I found
myself more aggravated with John and Reese in this book. Reese needs to make up
her mind and chose which man she wants to be with, stop stringing them both
along. At the same time, I wanted to yell and hit John! Just back off man, she
doesn’t love you like that! She has a man!
The plot
thickens with this group of crazies kids. More heartbreak, marriage, kids, kidnapping, betrayal.. the list goes on. So much happens that you can’t do
anything but sit down and finish in one shot. I had a little trouble rating the
series as a whole, I did enjoy Atonement a little bit more but I have a tendency to do that with series. I’m very glad I had the chance to read both parts and
cannot wait to read the third installment, Chloe.
Enjoy <3
I have spent years in the medical field; the first few as a Cardiac Specialty Nurse, and over the last decade as a Pharmaceutical and Medical Sales Representative. I have gathered mounds of experience both personally and professionally to pour into my long-time passion…writing. After years of power points in the corporate world, I am enjoying working on stories in romance fiction with my first novel, Attainment, and the newly released sequel, Atonement. I live in a small town in NC with my husband and four children. While continuing to work in sales, I am also exploring my writing late at night and in the wee hours of the morning when my children are tucked safely in bed.
