Twin Opinions: LISA'S REVIEW: Reed's Reckoning (Ahren Sanders)

Arianna 'Ari' Williams thought she experienced the depths of true love until the man of her dreams dismissed her with no explanation. Heartbroken and humiliated, she found herself changing the course of her life and picking up the pieces of her shattered heart. Now four years later, she has a successful career, amazing friends, and a young son with crystal blue eyes that reminds her every day of the love she imagined. Emotionally she has moved on but the wounds never healed.

Reed Matthews has it all. Playing professional football was his always his dream. Being one of the most successful wide receivers in the league comes with money, fame, and all the women he wants. Even with all his wishes coming true, he never stops thinking of the one woman that owned his soul four years ago.

A chance encounter brings Reed to the realization that Ari Williams not only hid a life changing secret from him, but also things weren't as they seemed all those years ago. He's determined to get her back and build their lives together.

When the truth behind their deception is revealed- friendships are tested, families are torn apart, and the one person behind it all is relentless.

Can Reed protect those he loves and build the future he dreamed of?

REVIEW:

Operation Matthews is a go! I love it and I hated it. And that right there is how you know it is a good book. Reed is great and I love his passion for the woman he loves. My question is how do you walk away if you feel that way? This was one of the parts I hated. I just don't see how you could. I also hated what happens with Katy! This nearly ruined the book for me. It is what keeps me from the 5 stars. I don't really think in was needed in the plot. So much pain and so much angst that I really think that it could have been done differently.

That aside, I loved it. I love Ari and Reed, I love the side characters, and I love the setting. I love a book with a good and juicy bad girl with lots of twist and this was it. Once Reed and Ari reunited the book got very interesting. At times I didn't like Ari but it was her personality. The character as a whole was great and I love the way Sanders wrote all the characters to be so real for me. Even the Pros are easy to relate to and believable. A great sporty love story set in a beautiful state! Love it!

RATING:

Ahren spent her formative years living in an active volcano. There her family made collectible lava art. She studied rock collecting at the Sorbonne in France. There she met the love of her life-her pet pig Sybil. She returned to the states and started writing. She is happily married to a guy who used to live under a bridge and she met while pole-dancing. They have one amazing daughter.

Now, meet the real me. I grew up in the south and consider myself a true “Southerner”.Most of the special locations mentioned in my books are reflections of my favorite places. Living on the Florida coast, my family spends a lot time at the beach which is where I usually can be found with a book in my hand.I started writing my Surrender Series, in the spring of 2013 and have received incredible support from the Indie community.Throughout this year, I have been privileged to meet some amazing people that I am thankful to have in my life.
