Rose of Thorne by Mia Michelle Review/Giveaway



Blurb:

When a drunk driver tragically orphans Skylar Rose at the age of sixteen, she leaves her dreams behind and takes on the daunting task of helping her elderly grandmother raise her young sister. While other girls her age were living a typical carefree life, she was picking up double shifts at a local cafĂ© and struggling to pay the bills. 

Always putting her sister’s needs and school first, Skylar has never had time to date or develop relationships. Now a senior in college, she has her sights set on an amazing internship opportunity. The last thing she needed was for a sexy distraction like Sebastian Thorne to walk into her life. 

Sebastian Thorne had been an entitled and reckless nineteen year old when he got behind the wheel of his new sports car that night. When his night of indulgence goes tragically wrong, Sebastian hesitantly turns to the one person, he knows can make everything go away…the one person he hates ..his father.

Now twenty-six, Sebastian is the young enigmatic and powerful CEO of his late father’s design company, Thorne Enterprises. With both millions in the bank and a new woman on his arm almost every night, the world never knew the dark secret he carried inside. Still plagued with nightmares from the night of that horrific accident and having to leave the beautiful girl behind, Sebastian vows to find the one that haunts his dreams. Sometimes the choice of revisiting our past opens the door to a future that we never thought possible.

Haunted by their past, these two want nothing more than to have their life given back to them. But what do you do when the person who gave you back your life, was the very one that took it from you in the first place?

* BOOK 2 THORNELESS will follow VERY VERY SOON!! Contains sexual content and abusive situations. Recommended for readers 18+ years.

Jane's Review:
In 2005 Sebastian makes a decision that tragically changes the life of Skylar as well as alters his own life forever.  Fast forward seven years, Skylar has grown into a beautiful, talented, smart young woman who doesn't seem to realize she is all of these things.  Sebastian, now a powerful, wealthy, business executive has kept tabs on Skylar since that one horrific night that changed both their lives.  They meet and fall for each other.  They both have secrets they aren't willing to share with the other resulting in a rocky relationship.  As the book comes to an end their love is stronger than ever and a happily ever after is in sight, that is until all the secrets are out in the open.  That's when it happens, the author blind side.  Anxiously waiting for book 2, Thornless, to find out how it really ends.

I had a love-hate relationship with Sebastian.  How could someone so caring, protective, and sexy be such a prick at times?  He could turn it off and on like a switch. When life served Skylar lemons (over and over and over) she made lemonade, lemon bars, and lemon meringue pie.  She is a fighter and a protector, making life better for herself and her sister.  The author included twists and turns that kept me intrigued and glued to the pages. 

I really enjoyed this book and had trouble putting it down.  The ending was a total shocker and now I am anxiously waiting for book 2 to be released. 4 out of 5!
