Blurb:
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.

My Review:
Wendy's 5 Bare Naked stars review:
Eden’s life changed forever 4 years ago on December 16th.
You could say that mine changed too when I met Rachel online
in July last year she had just released her debut novel Just Breathe, which had
one of the best Prologues I had ever read, and it was in honour of that prologue
that Just Breathe was the first review I ever posted on Bare Naked Words blog,
July 9th. Rachel and I have been friends
ever since, and I was honoured when she asked me to Beta read Be My December
for her.
The Prologue for Be My December is very different to Just
Breathe, in fact it is so heartbreakingly realistic, that I still dub Ms
Brookes the prologue queen, but this time it wasn’t the beauty of the prologue
that impressed me it was the utter despair and bone chilling fear it evoked in
me.
We meet Eden, broken beyond repair on the inside, but
surviving of sorts on the outside. She
is hiding behind a façade of quiet yet fragile confidence, hoping to remain
invisible to all, especially to the opposite sex.
Enter Ky Crawford, successful, confident, honey eyed, and
dripping in deliciousness, he is practically beating the ladies off, actually
he’s not beating them off he’s “getting his dick wet” regularly as his brother
Josh so eloquently puts it. But he’s clearly also working all the hours god
sends him to bury the memories from his past, but when he sees the beauty in
the red jacket across a crowded room, those memories resurface. But so do feelings that he isn’t ready to
deal with.
Be My December? One simple question,
one not so simple story.
Ky is delicious (I think I may have mentioned that), a
little intense and very protective of Eden.
Eden is vulnerable and yet strong, and together there is
dynamite waiting to happen.
I love that Rachel’s female leads are sassy, funny and
strong, although in Eden’s case she doesn’t know just how strong she is, and
her strength is tested to the limits when her past catches up with her future
and revenge is the only thing on everyone’s mind.
The dynamics of all the characters works so well, for the
Breathe Series fans, you are in for a treat and you just know there is more to
come.
What transpires between Ky and Eden, is slow, sweet and
sexy. Ky sure has a way with words, if
you know what I mean. And I defy you not
to fall for him. (Tate I’m so sorry)
Thanks to Rachel for inviting me on this journey with her, a
journey where I’ve cried for Eden and with Eden, swooned over Ky, but admired
his sensitivity, laughed with Josh and rooted for second chances and a happy
ever after all the way.
If I can tell you one thing, it’s my review really does not
do this story justice, so if you do one thing today, go and 1-click this book
and prepare to be completely overwhelmed with emotions.
