Emery Rose just knows how to tear you apart and put you back together again. I shouldnโ€™t be surprised, but I was reeling at the end of her latest release.

But an accident that kills Haleyโ€™s parents starts a tumultuous period for the couple, as they try to reconcile their trauma with the love they have for each other. Now Noah is going on tour with Haley, attempting to give their relationship one last chance before they call it quits for good.

๐ŸŒŸ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜„: If youโ€™re one of those readers who loves those emotional reads, chances are, youโ€™re already reading Emery Rose. If youโ€™re not, consider this my endorsement. 

Haley and Noahโ€™s story had ALL of the angst. It was hard not to love it, when the pair had to work so hard to get their happy ending. Emery Rose wrote two great characters - Noah with his addiction to adrenaline and Haley with her overwhelming trauma. And through the entire dual POV, their love showed through. 

Donโ€™t go into this one lightly, though. Itโ€™s all full of emotion. I cried a few times, especially as they worked through their last 20%. But if youโ€™ve got a Costco sized box of tissues, youโ€™ll be fine.
