Crash

Please note: there will be some spoilers or enough to give away the core themes of the romance.Whenever I read new novels, I kind of have to remove previous knowledge of the authors work(s), of which I've read quite a bit from Jerry Cole already. The prose, the style, has certainly seemed more elevated, and wonderful (at least to me). I loved the play with words Jerry used. While there was a great sense of tragedy, there was moments of comedy to lighten the darkness. I have to say, not everyone will probably enjoy it as much as I did. I appreciate the sassy and snarky behaviour - it helped move the story and allowed you to appreciate both characters in how they "flowed" together.While this is a HEA type of novella, I would beg for a follow-up to this story. It was sassy, witty, full of lies and ambiguity but perfect. I loved Liam and Reid as they "danced" around each other to make this sham marriage work as something real. It was heartbreaking to see Liam sacrifice so much more for the one he loved. I loved the wrap up to the story, but I'd have loved to have seen a bit more for the ending. Something with Reid's sister, Darlene, and something more than deja vu to its ending. It was just too much left unsaid, too much not done. BUT, that's also usually because I want more. Jerry - please let them speak further so we can see where their love takes them next. :)

Jerry changes up his style a bit on this one and it's worth it. At times you wonder if you've missed a page, it's because a step back is taken to put a bit of context in the proper perspective. Sometimes it looks back to something that happened in the past to explain what is about to happen because you are being set up for what is about to happen.What makes this book most interesting is it is written in the first person for these two guys which places the reader smack dab in the middle of what is going on--in stereo.There is a quirky sister who can't mind her own business and then there is a vindictive cousin who is devious and really trying to screw Reid's and Liam's relationship (which they are doing pretty well anyway), each because of personal baggage and misperceptions.Enjoy as the pages speed by watching how their love ultimately evolves.

This was a very witty story. I really enjoyed how the writer expressed himself in his writing. The story itself was very interesting. It took a moment to really see what was happening, but I had no problem following the story nor did I lose interest at any point. The development of the love story between the two main characters happened slowly, as it should. My only desire was to have a bit more of the end story. It was a HEA of sorts, but I wanted a bit more meat. I think almost everyone will enjoy this delightful tale.

And this book is the best one yet. The drama and the angst between Liam and Reid are spot on. Serendipity and the powers that seem to sometimes change the course of our well ordered lives, stepped into the lives of Liam and Reid and righted wrongs between them from years past. That they managed to overcome such deep hurt and finally connected in spite of their past unhappy history is the driving force of this engrossing love story.I highly recommend this gripping tale of love lost and then found. You won't be disappointed.

I loved this story and the reason I only gave it 4 stars is because I felt the end was a little flat. My heart broke for Liam and his past and all that he went trough. These two had a connection that you could feel, but they each got in their own way a lot, but once they lived together it was all but over there was no way these two would not end up together. Each has carried each other in their hearts for a lifetime and they story was amaze. I felt like at the end all the crap that happened was forgotten and they were just like sure we will be together but all in all its a great book!!

This was a great book! I loved it. I love how Jerry Cole writes. With that being said, this is about Reid and Liam who have a past to begin with. After an accident Reid think Liam has died and is haunted by this. It has never left him. Liam ends up in a car accident, and who else but Reid finds and ends up taking care of him. Reid thinks there is something similar about Liam but he can't put a finger on it. After all the secrets from both Liam and Reid are revealed will they end up together? Will they be able to overcome their shared past?

Jerry,This was a great twisted..time travel...forward marching story ! It's amazing how that one person can make you..break you..and put you back together. Sometimes it takes years to get things straightened out..if the fates allow !Thank you for sharing as always and look forward to many more to come.Hugs...Kathy

I am quite pleased to have read Crash. The story is chock full of surprises among the characters...and the characters are interesting and witty. Reid is an interesting study of someone who seems on the path to great things. We see Liam as having quite a different experience. And some crashes, both literally and of the type where people crash in the way their lives are headed ...the tables turn for these characters. Both are flawed in their own way and dealing with guilt, remorse, and staying on a path, until ...crashing. A great satisfying read.
