Tess, Property of Blaze by J.A. Collard

5.0

Okay, WOW.
Mind. Fucking. Blown.
I couldn't put this down. I was obsessed. I was addicted to this. It was EVERYTHING!

The author's words, writing style and the way she played this plot was pure perfection. This plot pulled me in so hard, and I just adored Tess. She was strong and fierce, and I love a heroine like that. A strong lead female character is always a favorite for me and Tess ticked all the right boxes. This woman was and has been through hell in her life. She is on the run from her abusive husband. She wants to live a normal life, away from the horrid things she's been through and New York is the perfect place for her. She can live her life and do what she loves, and that's her art. And New York is where she meets Blaze, and from the moment they met, it's been an instant connection between the two of them. It was intense in all the right ways, and just when she thinks she has escaped from her past, that everything seems to be okay for her, her dark horror of a past comes back slamming back into her life and everyone she loves and cares about and herself are now in danger and what happens is something that she struggles to come back from... Will she be able to recover from it? Will she get the life she finally wants? Or will it all fall to pieces and break her. Break everything and everyone around her??

So, this book was ANGSTVILLE. I love angst. I crave angst. I get joy in reading books that will almost cripple me with that intensity and this book was filled to the top with angst, but it held so much more. ... passion, lust, drama, action, suspense, thrill and mystery, and angst...

Did I mention ANGST?
So. Much. Angst.
It had me screaming and cursing the author out, but wanting to hug the woman too!

J.A Collard flawlessly delivered an incredible plot full of twists and turns, that my head was spinning out of control, my heart was pounding outside of my chest, and I found myself having to catch my breath. It was truly amazing and I loved everything about these characters. The good, the bad and the ugly. It was truly outstanding!

This book hit some extremely hard button for me. Having gone through the abuse myself, and knowing this woman’s struggle to want to get away, wanting to stay away but every where she goes, it seems as though her past isn’t very far behind. A few times I had to step back and take a breather and come back, I sobbed, and I sobbed some more wishing I could erase that hurt, that constant fear, and that torment she went through, that I know oh so well.

This book isn’t for the faint of heart. It’ll pull at your heart strings, it’ll have you laughing one minute and crying the next. It’s an emotional roller coaster, but a fucking brilliant one at that.
