Release Week Blitz: Review + Giveaway- The Moment of Letting Go by J.A.Redmerski

You can follow the rules or you can follow your heart...THE MOMENT OF LETTING GO

Sienna Murphy never does anything without a plan. And so far her plans have been working. Right after college, she got a prestigious job and gained the stability she'd always craved-until work takes her to the sun-drenched shores of Oahu and places her in the path of sexy surfer Luke Everett. For the first time, she lets her heart take control. Drawn to his carefree charm, she makes a spontaneous and very un-Sienna-like decision to drop everything and stay in Hawaii for two more weeks.

Luke lives fast and wild. When he meets Sienna, he's convinced that some no-strings-attached fun is just what she needs. As their nights quickly turn from playful to passionate, Luke can't deny the deep connection he feels. But there's a reason Luke doesn't do long-term. He can't promise Sienna forever, when the enormity of his past has
shown him just how fragile the future can be . . . 

Review-

I decided to read J.A.Redmerski's The Moment of Letting Go solely based on the fact that it had a pretty cover and the summary sounded really intriguing. I enjoy reading new adult contemporary romances but The Moment of Letting Go was so much more than just another romance. This book totally blew me away and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Let's start with Sienna. Sienna has seen her parents struggle financially when she was growing up so now she never does anything without a plan. She has a well paying job though it doesn't give her much time to pursue her passion of photography. But everything changes when she meets Luke in Hawaii. I really liked Sienna. She was such a sweet girl with her head on her shoulders. I loved her personality and she was very easy to relate to.

Then we have Luke. Luke likes living on the edge. When we first meet him you think he is just another guy but there is SO much more depth and history to him. Luke likes doing extreme sports for a reason and he is still dealing with the loss of a loved one. He finds peace when he is with Sienna and the attraction between them is easy to see. I loved the fact that Luke was a good guy. He genuinely cared about Sienna and her feelings. 

Sienna and Luke have chemistry from the instant they meet. You'd think this book would go like a no strings attached relationship but I was happy to be proved wrong. It kinda goes the slow burn romance way but the friendship and attraction is there ever present. I loved how Luke helped Sienna overcome her fears. Sienna gave Luke the peace he was searching for. They both overcame a lot of their issues by the end of the book.

I also enjoyed Luke and Sienna's friends. All the side characters were fully fleshed out and had an important role to play. This book sends out such a great messgae. We sometimes get so wrapped up in achieving the material things in life that we forget to live freely. This book just hit all the right notes for me and I would highly recommend it to everybody.

Review- The Mayfair Moon by J.A.Redmerski

 Summary-

  After a nightmarish encounter with a werewolf, seventeen-year-old Adria Dawson loses her sister, but gains the love of a mysterious young man and his legendary family.

Strange and tragic things begin to happen in the small town of Hallowell, Maine: residents come down with an unexplainable ‘illness’ and some disappear. In the midst of everything, Isaac Mayfair is adamant about keeping Adria safe, even from her sister whom he has warned her to stay away from.

As unspeakable secrets unfold all around Adria, impossible choices become hers to bear. Ultimately, no matter what path she takes, her life and the lives of those she loves will be in peril. As she learns about the werewolf world she also learns why her place in it will change the destinies of many.

Review-

The Mayfair Moon was a book which interested me because of its gorgeous cover. The summary was intriguing and I read some really great reviews of it on Goodreads. This was a paranormal book and it had been some time since I read one. It definitely did not have any cliches and managed to keep me interested till the very end.

Adria and Alex are two sisters who live in an awful home with their abusive step father. Things quickly move along as the two sisters are violently attacked by a vicious creature leaving them battered and bruised. And so the social services send them to live with their Uncle and his wife. Adria soon realizes that the attack has left her sister scarred inside and try as she may she can't get over it. Something has changed.

The Mayfair Moon is told completely from Adria's point of view. I loved Adria as a character. She was fierce and loyal. I admired her protectiveness towards Alex and her mother. She wasn't whiny or annoying. She worked with what she had and was just trying to figure out things to the best of her abilities while keeping her life in balance.

Isaac, the love interest, was simply amazing. I loved his quiet strength since the first moment we met him and how he had to work through his feelings for Adria. The attraction between them was palpable but it never seemed forced or rushed. Things flowed how they were meant to. We get to meet the whole Mayfair family in this book. I loved Adria's loyal best friend Harry.

J.A.Redmerski's writing style is smooth and steady. The book is well paced with lots of action so you don't get bored. I never once felt that the werewolf plot line was over used. It had the right amount of romance and action blended by quick and witty dialogue. The book didn't exactly end on a cliffhanger but more things were hinted at and some left incomplete. I will definitely be picking up the next book, Kindred in this series.
