Synopsis.
I knew the exact moment I’d become a ‘yes’ girl.
December 16th, a cold winter’s night, four years ago.
The night my innocence was stolen, the night I made the mistake of saying no—a mistake I’d never make again.
The dream of a ‘happily ever after' was now a locked away myth. I promised myself that I’d never return to the place of my worst nightmare, that I’d never let anyone get close, but then again, I never thought I’d meet someone like him.
The intense, confident and beautiful Ky Crawford.
I had no plans to become someone’s Prince Charming.
I couldn’t be. I refused to be. My plan was simple—do whatever it takes to correct my biggest mistake, my one regret that now controlled my life.
I was on track. I had plans, but then everything changed when I saw her—the girl in the red jacket, the girl who I was told couldn’t say no.
The reserved yet stunning Eden Rivers.
A girl who can’t say no.
A guy who craves redemption.
A chance encounter?
It all comes down to this.
One question.
One month.
Be My December?
SJ's Review.
Rachel Fricking Brookes has only gone and done it again.... another 5 star read under her belt! First Tate now Ky Crawford! Be My December was an emotional, heart wrenching train wreck of a love story!! She stole my heart trample on it then handed it back to me all beaten and bruised.
Firstly Ky Crawford. Heaven. He is my idea of heaven. His words crushed me, my heart actually ached for him and the way he was hurting himself so badly yet he was still acting strong enough to be a safety net blanket for Eden. There were points in this book I cried
for him, for what he was putting himself through just to make Eden happy, to make Eden see the women she can be, not who she thinks she should be.
Secondly Eden. Personally I didn't connect with Eden straight away, I have no idea why I couldn't but she just didn't click for me, that is until about 60% and I saw her in a different light. Towards the end I saw Eden for who she was and I felt for her, honestly I felt for her all the way through but I just couldn't connect with her.
So... both Eden and Ky have a secret, neither wants to tell the other what the deal is but they both know they have something painful in their pasts. With all these two go through throughout the book I was broken by the end, I was scared to turn the page for the fear of something coming and crushing Eden and how far she had come. In the beginning she could hardly talk to a guy, let alone touch him, hug him, kiss him. Ky brings out the best in Eden and the Eden he brings out is a beautiful, confident, sexy, feisty little minx. I like this Eden, but it is going to take a lot to keep this Eden around for good. Ky has a lot on his hands if he wants to keep the confident Eden for hiding behind the 6ft steel walls she has build around her heart.
Ky has moved on with his life, he would always regret the night he lost one thing he always wanted but never had but he had got on with his life. That is until the girl in the red jacket walked into his place of choice for the night and from that night forward his life would change, he knew he had to have her!!
Rachel is a star at writing sexy men and she pulled out all the stops with Ky Crawford. Ky is the least selfish guy I have ever read about, no matter what he puts Eden first. He is a total gentleman. He is protecting her heart while breaking his by knowing he will never get 'the one that got away'. Eden suffers from her memories of that fateful night four years ago. She will never be the same, she thought she would never return to the place in which her life change much less return and regain he life.
Will Eden ever move on and get the confidence back?
Will Ky get the girl he always wanted and never forgot?
Will Eden finally wave goodbye to her horrid past?
Will these guys get the happy ever after that they deserve?
Or will Eden return back to San Francisco just the same way she left?
