The Barrel House Book 2

Life isn’t a game.

Life isn’t an empty bottle of bourbon spinning on a warehouse floor as I hold my breath.


I feel weak when others perceive me as strong.

I’m passionate though I appear to hate the world around me.

I see beauty in all ugly things.

I feel pain when I laugh.


No one knows the truth.

Well, no one knew the truth until now.

Somehow, Brody Pearson understands more about me than anyone else in my life. The severed connection should mean something significant, but I don’t know if I can forget all my self-proclaimed promises.

 

My Review:

I don’t even know where to begin with this book. It was another where it felt like I blinked, and the book was already over. After reading the previous book, I was invested in seeing where Journey and Brody would take us before I even cracked this title open. Where they took us was an emotional roller-coaster ride characteristic of a Shari J Ryan read. (One of these days I’ll learn my lesson to have the tissues handy before I start reading.) Journey has led an “interesting” life, in every sense of that curse. She also has a flair for blunt honesty that meant even while I wanted to cry my eyes out, I was also laughing my backside off. These characters are living, breathing creations in my imagination now. I’ve gone and fallen in love with them and I can’t wait to read even more about the collective Quinn and Pearson families.

I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Foreword PR & Marketing.
