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.
Be My December?

My Review
Be My December is the
first book I have read by this author and having been given a review copy in
exchange for an honest review I was eager to get started.
Ok so my first impressions
of this book are a bit mixed.
I love Eden she’s a real
enigma, you can feel her pain and anxiety but she tries to hide behind the
false identities.
I liked her, I found her character endearing,
she is trying to be a fighter unfortunately she is not really winning!!!
I don’t really understand the ‘can’t say no’
thing, this may be to do with the fact that she does actually say no to Ky. Now
admittedly she freaks out after she says it but never the less she still says
it.
Ky, I’m not entirely sure what to make of him at
the start of the book he comes across as a bit of a weirdo.
I kind of feel like he takes advantage of Eden
and her difficulty with saying no and at times I just thought he was behaving
like a bit of a douche.
Right I’m going to say something now that people
may take exception to but hey ho...... I understand that Eden went through a horrific,
soul destroying; life altering event and that something like that is going to
have a profound influence on her life.
BUT at times she is borderline pathetic!!!! She clings
onto Ky like a limpet and he ‘rescues’ her on several occasions!!!
I’m so contrary because even though I hate how victim
looks on Eden, once Ky stopped being a dick I kinda loved how he stepped into
the knight in shining armour role, he has a sweet possessive personality and
once Eden becomes less fragile I loved the alpha side that he flashed from time
to time.
I found it very difficult to review this book
without giving away any spoilers so all I’m going to say is that Jeremy is one
of the most terrifying book characters I have read in a long time. His
character was truly chilling and I had horror movie goose bumps whenever he
appeared!!!
This book has a LOT of typos and grammatical errors
and some points they became incredibly disconcerting!!
I’m so glad that this book ultimately had a HEA
but at times I really had my doubts. The story twists and turns and the back
story is revealed at such a slow pace that I half expected Eden to end up going
home alone but at least living.
I struggled to connect to the love story here, I
loved elements of it and the quiet moments when Eden & Ky were connecting
were beautiful and moving.
I LOVE Josh & Ashlyn and hell I felt some
sexual chemistry brewing between the two of them.
This book was in places an uncomfortable
difficult read but I’m glad that they ultimately lived happily ever after 3.5
stars.
