Soooooo many of us LOVE this author, and with good reason! She writes gorgeous, emotional (and sometimes harrowing) stories about love. Life. Tragedy. And healing.
Rose: Love A.L.Jackson’s writing style- her books seem to have a special quality to them.
They do, Rose. I agree! A quiet intensity…
And I loved book #1 in this series BIG time. He’s just sooooo gorgeous, sullen, tragic. Broken. Check out my review of book #1: Come to Me Quietly. And now the 2nd book in the series is out (same characters – I need to read it!!), and a third on the way!
Lisa: I loved Come To Me Quietly by A L Jackson. I stayed up and read it straight through. It was amazing. Tortured hero, forbidden love, heartbreaking story, loveable characters, slow build up with great sexual tension….it was just a perfect balance of it all. It probably wasn’t as descriptive as some of our reads , but still very sexy.
Loved every heartbreaking second of it.Kim: I loved this one too. It was a slow burn through out the entire book. Can’t wait to see where it goes in the next book.
Mertxe: “Come to me quietly” is breathtaking, Jared will break your heart and you will love him. 5 ++ stars
Megan: I am almost done with Come to Me Quietly….WOW, it will break your heart and put it back together. 🙂
Deanna: When u ask what books puts u in a fog and u dream of for days later. That is this book for me. I downloaded “stay” by Rhianna because that song works so well for this book. You’ll see. 5++++++ stars. Obsessed. Cant wait until July. So good.
Anja: This book was an amazing trip. I think I never read a book in such a short time. I devoured it. (Do you use this word in english?) I couldn’t stop reading. Fantastic writing and thrilling story. It was refreshing to be into a book so completely.
We “book-adrenaline-junkies” 😉 (like you call us) want more of these books.
About book #1:
Aleena Moore is haunted by Jared Holt. It’s been six years since she’s seen her brother’s best friend, the self-destructive bad boy she secretly loved in high school. As the years pass, she knows it’s time to move on. Time to decide between a practical nursing degree and her true dream as an artist. Time to get over Jared and give another guy a chance…
Just when she opens her heart to her friend, Gabe, Aly returns home to find Jared sleeping on her couch. The teenage boy she loved has grown into a man she can’t resist. Covered in tattoos and lost in rage, he’s begging to be saved from his demons—the memories of the day he destroyed his family. As the two reconnect, their passion is hot enough to torch Aly’s judgment. But can she risk her future for a man who lives on the edge of destruction?

I’ve wanted to read Come to me Quietly but was waiting for book 2 to be released. Now I can… book 3 is different characters, right? What’s even better is that it is an audible book, so I can listen while I run!! 😉
