My Review
5 of 5 Only Love
Okay where to start with this review...... I have no idea! Lord can I just say that I really love a book that takes you on a description roller coaster. I love a book that tells where it's going and how it is getting there. You want love, action, drama, suspense, secrets, lies, and most importantly swoon worthy guys well this is the book for you! If you have not read the first book Atonement you need to. This is such a great follow up to it that it really did amaze me. I just have to say if you are not a fan of surprise endings then you might not like the ending. Sorry I had to say that because a lot of people might not like the ending I did because it makes me need to read the next book and I need it like I need air to breathe!

Title: Atonement (Atonement Series, #1)
Released: November 2012
Atonement Book Description:
The first installment of The Atonement Series.
Deirdre Bardot is a PhD student at Harvard and on her way home for Thanksgiving when she finds out her father has been murdered in a vicious hit and run by a drunk driver.
Forced to piece her life together after such a traumatic event, Deirdre moves back to Seattle to be closer to her younger sister, Caitlyn, and their mother.
When her psychiatrist, Dr. van der Meer, suggests she needs to get away from it all and take a vacation, her best friend decides to introduce her to a friend of his who has more or less the same idea. Colin is perfect: he's good looking, self-deprecating and sexy as hell but he also happens to be the Dr. van der Meer's son.
Deirdre finds herself falling hard for a guy she barely knows and one who is equally into her as she is into him. They decide a trip to Western Europe together is the perfect way to get to know one another a whole lot better.
Then an unspeakable and random act of violence occurs one night and Colin realizes he is forced to reveal a secret to Deirdre he has been hiding...a secret that is breaking him, and in doing so to free his conscience, he just might destroy the relationship he has created with Deirdre and lose her forever.
