4 Angsty Stars
Review by Jen Hagen
Tattoed bad boys, rock stars, motorcycle men, and
one-night stand babies – those are a few of my favorite things, and included in
this book is one of those. Can you guess
which one??
Lilly and Silas meet while waiting for their flights. The flights end up being cancelled for the
night due a storm and Silas manages to get a hotel room for the two of them
. They both agree to one night of sex
with no phone numbers and no last names exchanged. Both feel
an incredible connection between each other but neither of them voices
it before Lilly slips out early in the morning. Three years later and they still remember how
well they fit together and the memory is too good to let go. Of course there is something else that is a
daily reminder of their time together.
I will never regret
the one and only one-night stand in my life, because it allowed me to be in
this moment right here and now.
Lilly and Silas have a chance
encounter that leaves them both speechless.
They each have on a poker face making it appear very real that they have
never set eyes on each before this day.
No one would ever be the wiser in thinking that these two can’t forget
about their one night together.
I’m silently freaking out at the fact that the only man I ever felt a connection
with just walked back into my life with his girlfriend on his arm.
Yes, you read that
correctly…Silas has a girlfriend.
Kristin and Silas have been dating for a while but Silas has never
wanted to commit to anything that resembles a future as husband and wife. He loves Kristin but when the truth comes out
he can’t lie to Kristin…"No one has ever
measured up to her.” Well if that
didn’t pretty much decide their future, or non-future together, the next bit of
news Kristin receives will have her running to the hills.
Fate allowed Silas and Lilly
to reconnect, but sometimes fate changes its plans and wants you to make
decisions on your own. This will
definitely put Silas to the test…and if I were to grade him I would have to
fail him for the poor decisions he made.
Silas has to choose between the present and the future, and instead of
trying to balance both of them he makes one of them a precedent and I didn’t
agree with it. Of course, it wasn’t me
having to choose but there had to have been a better way for him to handle it.
Lilly makes a decision for
herself in order to protect what she holds nearest and dearest to her
heart.
“I don’t want you to fight for me.
There’s nothing to fight for.”
Silas had everything and now
he has nothing. Will he follow Lilly’s
directions to stay away from her, or will he find his balls and stand up for
what he wants?
I needed Silas to grovel and fight for Lilly at this point. He was too soft when it came down to the wire of being there for Lilly, and a couple times he went to Kristin’s beck and call when he should have been with Lilly. This infuriated me, but yet it brought out wonderful angst. I’m an angst addict. Even though you will want to throw your Kindle and be mad, you will find yourself right back at the story because the angst is pulling you in. I found Silas to be a good guy, but fate was really messing up his life and he didn’t know how to handle what he was being thrown. For being 29 years old, Silas still wasn’t mature when it came to making the correct decisions. I don’t want to say he thought only of himself, but he just couldn’t find the balance between the heavy loads he was carrying.
I really did feel sorry for him, and maybe I’m just too soft of a person to forgive him so easily. If you are not a fan of having to choose which girl deserves his attention, then this book isn’t for you. But if you are a lover of angst (such as I am) then I would give this book a try.
