I read the first book in this series when it came out this spring and it was pretty well written, I must admit. I liked the emotions Unbroken brought out in me and let's face it! Re-connection stories are some of my favorites:) It's very suitable for the summer season, too. It's light, fast-paced and perfect for a day in beach. I'm happy to show you the cover of the second book in this series Unafraid. I hope you like it.

"The first time I saw her, I knew this girl was wilder than any stallion I’d ever trained. She was headstrong, wounded, passionate and free. And I had to have her…"
Brittany Ray doesn’t care about her bad reputation. Growing up in a sleepy beach town with a junkie mom and a runaway dad, Brit’s learned the hard way that the people you love will only let you down. It’s no use hoping for love or happiness. Some dreams aren’t meant for girls like her.
Hunter Covington is one of those dreams.
Gorgeous, charming Hunter is damn near perfect—and it’s killing him. Son of Charleston royalty, he’s been trapped in a gilded cage since the day he was born. Now he’s breaking free. He’s quit law school to restore his grandpa’s old horse ranch, trying to soothe the demons in his soul. But Beachwood Bay is full of old ghosts, like the mysterious girl who spent an unforgettable night with him—and then slipped away before dawn. Brit.
Everything about her screams danger, but Hunter doesn’t care: he’s never felt a connection so deep. And try as she may, Brit can’t resist the desire consuming her —or the safety she finds in Hunter’s arms.
A reckless passion. An undeniable bond. Scarred by their pasts, Brit and Hunter fight to heal old wounds. But will dark secrets tear apart their new beginning? And when love is the biggest risk of all, can they find the courage to face the future unafraid?
I like the cover. It's not maybe as perfect as Unbroken was, but it's definitely suitable with the theme that this series has. Also, it takes place near water so water and the lighthouse behind the couple is perfect. By the way, doesn't the girl remind you a little og Sophia Bush? Maybe I'm imagining it. The guy looks a little like James Lafferty which brings me all kinds of awkward thoughts about Brooke and Nathan. Oh, well.. Now I want to watch One Tree Hill again. *sigh* Anyhow, what do you guys think of the cover? ;) Have you read the first book? Did you like it? Would you pick this companion novel up?

I just met this author at a signing, Siiri and got the first book. She was so very nice. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the first one and the second one looks good, too. I hear it's a companion novel. Thank goodness! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteThat girl does look like Sophia Bush! It's a pretty cover. Thanks for sharing, Siiri!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this series Siiri! I like the cover even if their pose feels just a touch awkward. His face is just so close to hers, but I like that it fits with the story since it takes place near water. It always bothers me when the cover doesn't reflect the story at all, so I consider this one a win!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the first one either, but I think I remember you loved it. Looks like these are companions though, which I always prefer with contemporary series. The way these two are staring at each other is pretty intense though!
ReplyDelete"Re-connection stories are some of my favorites:)"
ReplyDeleteMine too! Somehow the romance seems more meaningful to me that way.
I really like that girl's hair. I want those highlights. I have no idea who Sophia Bush is - I'm assuming that's a character on One Tree Hill, then? Why does James Lafferty bring awkward thoughts?
And you made me so curious, with your references to the Unbroken cover, that I had to check GR for it :). I do think I like that cover better. The colors mesh better there, but this does also seem like a good beach read.
You haven't watched OTH? :O Omg, I don't even know you! Haha. It's like one of the best shows EVER! I'm so sad that it's over. Well, let me explain the awkwardness to you: James and Sophia's characters are friends. I think they hooked up once, but they're great friends and James's character Nathan is one of my favorites in TV history and he has a great relationship with Haley--one of the most adorable girls--his future wife. Brooke--Sophia's character--is HAley's enemy at first, but they grow on each other and by the end of the show they're best friends:) It's like one of the shows you HAVE to watch.
