Synopsis:

 

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me.

Bullshit.

Words destroyed me.

“I’m sorry. She didn’t make it.”

“Daddy, he can’t breathe!”

“There’s nothing more we can do for your son.”

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me.

Lies.

Those syllables and letters became my executioner. I told myself that, if I didn’t acknowledge the pain and the fear, they would have no power over me. But, as the years passed, the hate and the anger left behind began to control me.

Two words—that was all it took to plunge my life into darkness.

“He’s gone.”

In the end, it was four soft, silky words that gave me hope of another sunrise.

“Hi. I’m Charlotte Mills.”

✯✯5 Bright Stars!!!✯✯

If you didn't read The Darkest Sunrise then don't read this. It's not a standalone and shouldn't be read as one.  I honestly didn't think I could love/hate this story more then I already did. But, I was wrong.

When you start The Darkest Sunrise its of Charlotte when her son was kidnapped. The Brightest Sunset is no different. It's the day Porter's wife Catherine drowned herself almost taking his kids with her. Just when you think you couldn't hate her more, you learn something very important. Travis isn't Porter's biological son. Nope. He adopted him after he met Catherine. 

We pick up right where we've left off. Everybody's emotions are all over the place. Porter's in cuffs. Charlotte is told her son is alive. And, her ex Brady is even more of a douche then he was before.

I honestly don't wanna give to much away of this story. There's a lot of tug and pull within this story. Porter thought Catherine couldn't ruin his life anymore. But, this. Even he couldn't see if he tried.

Deep down Charlotte knows theres no way Porter could've done this.But, she's got Brady breathing down her neck. Brady's making demands. His biggest demand that Porter be nowhere his son. Which come on. Porter's all Travis knows. Why confuse him more. But, again Brady's a douche. All Charlotte knows is he's her son and his health and wellbeing come first. So, when Travis needs his father, Charlotte will call him and deal with everything else later.

OMG I couldn't put this book down! Charlotte really found herself in this book. She found her voice and her backbone. She did what was right for her son and to hell to everyone else.She did have some dark times. But, as long as she had Porter she'd always find her way out.

Oh Porter Porter. He legit is the perfect man. Even with his darkest nightmare right in front of his face he still found a way to make sure his kids and Charlotte were OK and happy. Hell, he even went out of his way for Brady. To do all he did for Brady after the way he treated him, shows how good of a guy Porter is.

Aly Martinez is such a wonderful author. She writes stories that are filled with so many emotions, full of everything you'd want in a book and in the end is straight up beautiful. This duet is another one of them.

Synopsis:

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me. Whoever coined that phrase is a bald-faced liar. Words are often the sharpest weapon of all, triggering some of the most powerful emotions a human can experience. “You’re pregnant.” “It’s a boy.” “Your son needs a heart transplant.” Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me. Lies. Syllables and letters may not be tangible, but they can still destroy your entire life faster than a bullet from a gun. Two words—that was all it took to extinguish the sun from my sky. “He’s gone.” For ten years, the darkness consumed me. In the end, it was four deep, gravelly words that gave me hope of another sunrise. “Hi. I’m Porter Reese.”

✯✯5 Dark Stormy Stars!✯✯

Aly Martinez is a genius. Every book of hers that I read stay with me. She has such a beautiful way of writing and The Darkest Sunrise is no exception.

When Charlotte Mills is in medical school she ends up pregnant. She was a complete shock. But, the minute her son is put in her arms she knows she was suppose to be his mother. Her son was born with a bad heart and would one day need a new one. But, that doesn't stop her from one day hoping her son will have the life he deserves.

One day while out for a walk there's another mother in need of help. When Charlotte is done her life is turned upside down. Her son is missing. He was never found. Not a word was heard. 

In order for Charlotte to grieve for her son she dives back into school. Ten years later she has become one of the top Pulmonologists in the country. She'll do anything to save her patients. 

Charlotte's not living. She's haunted by loosing her son. Charlotte will never give up hope that he'll be returned to her one day. Either alive or not. She just wants him back. Charlotte will never forgive herself. She refuses to take on child patients. She can't be around them. Not ever when Porter Reese comes into her life. For the first time in her life she is looking not the eyes of someone who has the same pain and darkness thats in hers.

Porter Reese is the single father to two beautiful children. Loosing his wife a few years ago in a car accident. If that didn't haunt him enough. His son is sick. He's on the list for new lungs but he must be healthy or he won't get them. 

Every doctor he talks too tells him to go and see Dr. Charlotte Mills. The only problem is she refuses to see pediatric patients. He figures if he can just get her to talk to him she'll make an exception. But, when he sees her everything changes. Porter's never had such a strong connection to anybody before. Not even his wife. Her eyes minick the darkness running around in his. 

Even though Charlotte cant be around children, doesn't mean she doesn't want to help anyway she can. Plus, she's drawn to him and him to her. They want to spend time together. Its hard with her schedule and him with his children and his 2 restaurants. But, they agree to try. To stay in the dark. 

The last few pages gutted me. Just when I thought I was prepared. Aly definitely had me shocked. I honestly need the second part to this story. BC, everyone in this story need answers. They need closure. Whatever it may be.

For everything Porter and Charlotte have gone through. I hope they can see past whats in front of them and listen to the story. I can't wait for whats next to come in I'm hoping a beautiful ending.

✯Blog Tour Review w/Giveaway✯The Fall Up by Aly Martinez

Maybe there’s only one direction to go when two people fall 

in love at rock bottom—up.

Synopsis:

I wanted to jump.
He made me fall.

As a celebrity, I lived in the public eye, but somewhere along the way, I’d lost myself in the spotlight.

Until he found me.

Sam Rivers was a gorgeous, tattooed stranger who saved my life with nothing more than a simple conversation.

But we were both standing on that bridge for a reason the night we met. The secrets of our pasts brought us together—and then tore us apart.

Could we find a reason to hold on as life constantly pulled us down?

Or maybe there’s only one direction to go when two people fall in love at rock bottom—up.

 ✯✯5 Bright Stars!!!✯✯

I feel like I been waiting forever to get my hands on this book. Man, it was worth the wait. It was everything I expected from Aly Martinez and then add a bunch more on top if it. Sam Rivers is not your typical book boyfriend. He is so much more. And, Levee Williams.. Man, she is not your typical pop princess who has the money and the looks. She is so much more.

Sam and Levee meet in the middle of a rainy night on top of a bridge. They have been going there a few night before Sam approached Levee. They're both up there for different reasons. Yet, still haunted by demons. Sam has no idea who Levee is but can tell she is trying to hide. They have an instant connection. Night after night they meet on the bridge.

Every night they spend on that bridge they talk a little bit more. Sam keeps wishing he won't see Levee on that bridge. But, loves getting to spend time with her anyway. Sam finally gets Levee off that bridge and into his bed. Hahaha maybe not exactly like that but pretty close.

Sam has lost a lot of  close people in his life. He has felt responsible for them. Sam doesn't want to loose anybody else. It's one of the reasons why I loved Sam. He never once tried to change Levee. All Sam wants is what's best for Levee. Levee has  a lot going on. She can't seem to see straight nowadays. Between the concerts and spending as much time as possible making sick children smile, Levee is loosing sight of who she is. She keeps trying to say she's not sure why she keeps going on that bridge, but deep down she does. Ever since Sam has come into her life Levee is seeing things clearer. Levee is planning on getting herself help.

This book was beautifully written. Aly handled the suicide topic very well. There was laughter, joking, friendship and seriousness all wrapped up in one book. Every relationship whether it friendship, family or romantic was perfect. Even though Sam and Levee had demons and issues they were not afraid to ask or go for help. This is in my top 2015 must reads!!

Excerpt:

“Thank fuck!” Sam said, swinging the door open before Devon even had the car in park.

“Oh, this isn’t my place. We’re just dropping Devon off. I’m about twenty minutes across town?”  I tossed him a sugary smile then boldly shifted my hand into his lap, purposely brushing the bulge under his denim.

Grabbing my wrist, he narrowed his eyes and called out, “Devon, I’m gonna need to borrow a bedroom.”

I burst out laughing as Devon cursed loudly.

“Fine. This is my place. No smoking inside though,” I snipped as I climbed from the SUV.

“You better have some seriously exciting extracurricular activities to keep me distracted, then.”

“I have Ping-Pong!”

“Not exactly what I was thinking.” He mischievously cocked his head. “But I guess paddles and balls are as good a start as any.” Dipping down, he hoisted me over his shoulder. “Point me to the Ping-Pong table, my lady.”

I didn’t. I laughed hysterically as he carried me inside. Then I directed him to my bedroom instead.

I heard Devon locking up the house as Sam deposited me on the bed.

“Jesus. This view.”  He pushed the curtains back. “Why the hell would you ever go up to the bridge when you have this here?”

“I don’t know,” I answered, pulling my earrings off and placing them on my nightstand.

Oh, but I knew. It might not have been what had originally sent me up that bridge, but it was why my feet carried me back every night. And that very reason was currently standing in front of me with entirely too much clothing on.

“You want a beer?” I asked, sliding my shoes off.

“Nah, I’m good.” He faced me, and I could tell something was off with his demeanor. He didn’t inch any closer. Instead, his lips were tight and his eyes uncomfortably flashed around the room.

It suddenly didn’t feel like Sam standing in front of me at all.

He felt like a stranger who had just come face-to-face with Levee Williams.

Damn it.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Are you about to freak out?” I whispered, nervously moistening my lips.

He shoved his hands into his pockets. “I’m not really sure yet. But I’m gonna need you to stop licking your lips long enough for me to figure it out.” His mouth cracked into a wide grin, and my shoulders relaxed.

Now that was a flash of my Sam.

“Want to tell me what’s going on?” I asked.

“It’s just… I think this is the first time I’ve realized that you’re some big-time celebrity. I might be in over my head here, Designer Shoes.”

“I just make music, Sam.” I returned his smile and very slowly prowled in his direction. “Imagine how I feel though. You’re Samuel Nathan Rivers. A tough, tattooed furniture designer who makes six figures a year but is too afraid to tell his mommy he votes democratic.” I giggled as he frowned humorously. Stopping in front of him, I dragged a fingernail down his chest then teased the waistband of his jeans. “Have you considered that maybe I’m the one who’s in over her head here?” I leaned forward to nip at his lips, but he spun us around.

“Excellent point. I’m going to need you to try really hard to keep it together, Levee. You haven’t even seen my six-pack and huge cock, yet.” He smirked and attempted to return my nip, but I stepped out of his reach.

“You brought beer and chicken?” I feigned excitement.

That one corny joke was all it took to bring my Sam back completely.

With a sexy smile and a coy shrug, he seductively backed me toward the bed. “What can I say? I like to be prepared.”

“Clearly,” I breathed.

He moved in close so his lips were only a centimeter away, but for as much as I wanted him, it was agonizing. “Clearly,” he repeated, his smoky yet sweet breath breezing across my mouth.

His strong arm looped around my waist, tugging me against his chest, while I stared into his hooded eyes, eagerly waiting for him to make a move.

Any move.

Every move.
