    Synopsis
    Seven years ago Danielle Hamilton left her home in Serenity Cove leaving behind a drug addicted mother, work-obsessed Grandmother and the first boy she has ever loved.  Danielle promised herself she would never return, but now—she has no choice. The family Inn her Grandparents put their lives into is going under and Danielle is the last hope they have to save it.  

    When she temporarily returns to her home town, she’s even less prepared than expected to run into her first love, Oliver Garrison.  After their encounter leaves her on edge she decides what is really needed is a distraction.  What she doesn’t expect is the way she feels when she meets Corey Preston with the bad boy edge, a gentle heart and smoking body.  

    Oliver is everything she thought she ever wanted while Corey is everything she never thought she needed.  But Dani promised herself when she left Serenity Cove at 18 that never again, would this be her home. However, her heart didn’t get the memo and for the first time in her life, she feels at home.  

    But will her demons from the past let her have the love she deserves? Or will she return to her life in New York—once again leaving her heart behind in the one place she fears to be?  








    MY REVIEW 
    I am going to be straight up; this review by no means is going to be perfect or grammatical correct....but I did not start this blog to write perfect pretty sentences but to bring you real true raw feeling I have towards different books.

    I signed up for the blog tour as soon as I read the synopsis, I was intrigued.... and for good reason because I absolutely wholeheartedly love this book.

    I read an average of 4-5 books per week. sometimes they just blend together totally forgettable, but not Fool for you no fucking way. it held me from the start pulled me into a transfixed state lost to the world around me and engrossed in the entity of Danielle and her very fucked up life. It was a complete train wreck and I just could not look away as everything unfolded.

    My Danielle 


    Danielle 25 is our leading lady professional successful  women living in New York; originally from Serenity Cove a place she escaped at 18 leaving behind a dysfunctional family and personal heartbreak....well she left the crazy family and that particular heartache with  she left for New  York. Only to incurred much more pain and suffering in her personal life whiles striving professionally. 
    Bad relationship and bad relationship has left her damaged and broken forever hurt and alone. Except for her best friend Gabby....She loves and supports Danielle (Dani) providing a caring soul in times of despair.

    Violet Dani's Grandmother calls upon her to take on the responsibility of the family business which her druggie mum nearly ran into the ground. Now her mum  has being incarcerated an her grandparents  are retired the burden is placed oh her shoulders.

    Left with on other option she reluctantly leaves her job and gives up her apartment to return the the town she refers to as Hell.



    (quote) "I needed time to wrap mt head around what was happening and mentally prepare myself for what ever was going to come my way"



    I don't think anything prepared her for  when she finally returns to Serenity Cove after 7 years and the first person she runs into is Oliver (hated him from then) the person that hurt her and left her feeling used, creating part of the reason why she felt the need to run after she graduated high school.
    "Ollie was the root of my memories of Serenity, and arguable the cause of one of my biggest demons."


    Anxiety riddles and stressed from being back in her personal nightmare Danielle seeks soles at the local bar in the form of a one night stand.
    "All I really needed was a good, random, roll around in the sack."

    what she did not bargain for was that her distraction and bar owner Corey would be the sweeties, gentlest, kindest, sexiest man she would ever meet, flipping her already screwed up would on its head.


    "why was Corey suddenly taking over my thoughts and making my body crave his touch"

    Corey 27 my God this man went straight into my top 5 book boyfriends. he is everything a man should be passionate, caring, protector, friend, lover, fighter (he had to fight to over come his own fair share of problems) with a heart of gold ohh and I forgot he is also HOT as hell.

    "I was flashed a heart-stopping, knee-shaking, panty-dropping smile as he showed off the dimple in his right cheek." 

    My Corey
    He is exactly who she needs the type of guy that is willing to do just about anything for her and love her unconditionally. But Dani being a damaged broken independent women hauling around Posh Spice size baggage around with her fight this beautiful man at every turn. she kept her walls up firmly in pace. she would much rather hurt herself than give into the Love she feels for Corey. 
    "My body shiver at his touch"

    "After having had every single past relationship end in utter failure I was finished"

    Dani demonstrates just how badly someone's past can control their present and future if you allow it to be your foundation. 
    Corey put up with a lot of her shit even watching her go on dates with other guys in order to show her just how deeply he feels and that he is willing to wait until she is ready (I dint think she will ever be fucking ready).   
    To say Dani infuriated me was an understatement. I screamed and shout at my IPad for her to wake up and smell the bloody coffee; that Corey is madly in love with her, get over your shit and stop hurting him. 

    I read the end of this book on my way from work on the bus and I had to physically bang my head against the bell post several times (people looked at me as if I was mad  but it just could not be helped).
     The stress Danielle put me through was no joke,  her dumb decisions left me reeling I just wanted too slap some sense into her pretty little head. 
    This is an excellent duet novel my Megan Noelle  it's packed with a little of everything, Love, Romance, Sex, Family Drama, Angst, stupidity, humor, acceptance and above all the perfect leading man Corey. 

    "Just not a big fan of Men disrespecting Women" 

     It also has an element of reality. we could all take something away from this book. Mainly that if we drag our past around with us it will eventually become too much to bear corrupting the best of ourselves dragging our souls under with all the hurt and un-forgiveness. Blinding us to something or someone amazing just because of our past. sometimes it is much more beneficial to just let things go and move on not carry them around unresolved tainting everything else. 
    don't let past hurt determine your future take control of your own destiny you can miss out on something great just because we are held captive to the past.

    After reading this book all I wanted was to hunt down Danielle with my pitch Fork and inflict her with grievous Bodily harm. instead I settled for an Interview with the leading lady her self so she could explain what the hell she was thinking.
     (the interview below is part one of a two part interview come back on the 17th to read part two)
    this interview plays into book two so pay attention.  

    Interview 

    Here is what happened when I sat down with Danielle 


SBB~ well good afternoon miss Hamilton....thank you so much for doing this interview with me today. You left me breathless so there is a LOT my readers and I would Like to Know.

DANI~I hope not in a bad way! But I would be happy to answer your 
         questions!
         By the way, I am also so glad you asked for this interview. I hope to
         clear the air since I know there are quite a few out there.. should I say... 
         Frustrated with me.

SBB~(smile) not all bad! so lets get this show on the road.... First I would like to go back to when you received the call to go back Serenity Cove.....What made you decide to go back to a place you described as "Hell"?
DENI~There were quite a few calls that came to me during the past few  
          months that were pretty big. Which one shall we start with?

SSB~ I think Frustrated is an understatement......but there will be time to go over that later. I gather Violet your Grandmother (or Gram as you call her) made several calls but what did she say that made you decide to return?

 DANI~(Sighs-Thinking back to the constant badgering) Well, although I haven't     
              been back to Serenity Cove since high school ended- I love my family. I 
           put up a small fight but I knew it was fruitless. As soon as I heard they needed me-- that sealed the decision.

SBB~ So Why has it taken 7 years and a family emergency to get you to go back?

DENI~There were a lot of reasons. I suppose primarily though... I was 
          scared. There weren't a lot of positive memories for me there and 
            most of my nightmares stemmed from those times. It was just hard to get 
myself to dive head first into all those memories again.

SBB~ (fear can be a crippling thing) What was it like going back after so long....and speaking of bad memories to see Oliver on your first night back?
 DENI~Going back was difficult enough. I was on edge the whole ride and at every exit I had to make myself not turn around and go back to New York. But then to see Ollie... the fact that I didn't pass out or puke on the spot was a great achievement if you ask me. But it was basically the biggest slap in the 
          face. It felt like everything I ran from... was right there, welcoming me back to the nightmare.

SBB~seeing your reaction to Ollie and the phone call you had the day after you arrived with your Gram I stated to understand your hesitation to return.
SBB~ Can you tell us about your relationship with your Grandparents ....Things seemed strained between yourself and Gram
  • DENI~ I get chills just thinking about it... I could really go for a cigarette!
  • SSB~ (smirk) I think Coary would disprove...don't you?

DANI~ Things Between me and my Grandpa are great. He was always the 
         "man in my life" the somewhat calm in a hectic storm. But as for me 
           and Gram that is another story. We butt heads a lot because we are 
             very similar. I also get very defensive because I sometimes feel she is comparing me to my mother and disregards what I say.

DAMI~ (Sighs) Yes... Corey would definitely disapprove. BUT! You can even check my purse.. No cigarettes! (Big Smile)

SBB~I see a flinch at the mention of Corey's name.....I am itching to ask about him but I know I wont be able to remain objective and I want to provide you with ample time and opportunity for readers to get to know you a little better.
SBB~ I love your Granpa! I see the support and unconditional love he pours out to you.

DENI~ Hehe... I appreciate that. Yes, that is somewhat of a...sensitive.. topic 
        for me. If you do have questions though I will try to answer them as     best as possible. Though the emotions are all still a bit raw for me.
    (Smiles) My Grandpa is a wonderful man! Truly the backbone of our family!

  • SSB~ Have you ever spoken or seen your Father Kole since the day he walked out on you?
  • DENI~ (Looks down to the ground) No... I haven't.
  • SBB~Has he ever tried contacting you or have you ever tried finding him.......do you even know know if he is alive or.....?
  • DENI~ When I was younger I tried finding him. My mom found out once and well... she sort of freaked out. So I stopped. I don't know anything about his whereabouts or well being.. not because I don't want to know. I just... I really don't know. I suppose I'm scared with what I'll find.
SBB~I can see the genuine hurt and pain radiating from your eyes...I sympathize with you....I really do. I can not imagine what It must have being like for you to witness the only father you have walk out the door and never look back; leaving you alone with your mother.
SBB~ what was it like growing up without a father and a mother with drugs and alcohol problems?
DENI~ It was... devastating. There is still a hole in my heart because of it. 
         And there are still moments when I wonder if I just wasn't good enough.
DANI~ It wasn't fun, that's for sure. Other kids thought my family was 
            strange and I was the weird kid who didn't have a parent at school 
       shows. Conferences was something of a laugh. If my mom DID 
         remember, she was usually too doped up to pay attention to remember WHY she was there.
        All in all.. its part of the reason I don't trust people.. I've had a lifetime of being let down
SBB~ The pain is still so Raw from your words! have you ever considered getting counseling to sort through your issues and self loathing?

DENI~ Oh come on.. Its much more fun to just run from my problems! (Gives a   sarcastic wink)
SBB~ (roll eyes) look where that has gotten you....

DANI~That has always just been my MO i guess. There are a few that hate that i do that.

SBB~ you said that's part of the reason why you don't trust people, which is understandable. But during your time in New York you had several Boyfriends you trusted....I have a small theory. You were seeking the love and acceptance you never received growing up so you latched onto men in hopes of finding that love

DANI~ I would say that is a pretty accurate theory.

you were doing so in the wrong places and wrong way; charting your self worth based on what a man fells towards you. Your relationship with Issac.... you were very vague can you tell us anymore?
I promise we will move on to lighter subject and I also have a special gusts joining us a bit later (wink)

DANI~ All I can really say about my past mistakes is they were all just that--a 
          mistake. Someone once told me, we let ourselves have the kind of love we think we deserve. I don't think I deserve anything so i think 
         subconsciously I go for the men that I already know will let me down... Aside from Corey of course.
DANI~ Oh Lordy-- I am not sure if I should be excited or terrified. And I 
              don't mind. Yes these are heavy questions-- but I feel if you want to understand who I am now.. You need to see who I was.

SBB~ to be honest after the final chapter of FFY I fell you are that very same person and not much has changed.....you ARE STILL SABOTAGING YOURSELF
SBB~I Rooted for you I shouted at my kindle for you to wake up and smell the coffee....at one point I truly believed you did. but we all know how that ended.

DANI~ Maybe so... but that's all I've known. Trust me, it's                        not as if I don't know that my decision is a little.. frustrating.            Sigh... I know. I'm truly a fool. But I will find a way to redeem my foolish ways. I'll make it right.

  • SBB~ (starts shaking feet) Really?......forgive me if I don't hump at words.....Whats changed?

DANI~ I know what I want and I know I deserve 
           more than I had. Not to mention... I found 
      someone that... I just.. I can't lose him.
                         But I don't expect you to believe me right now. I have a lot to prove. To many people.

    SBB~damn straight!!!! many of us I included was left reeling from your stupidity and stubbornness. plus we are all part of the hunky bartender fan club....how could we not?
    speaking of the gorgeous bartender....(Corey walks through the door)
      • DANI~ (Fans Self) Corey is something else. 
                  (Jaw drops--Entire body flushes)


    • SBB~ (gives Corey a proper British greeting, Hug and kiss)

    SBB~so glade you can join us....
                           interview continues 

    Please tune in next week when we get an exclusive look at Corey's POV and hears what he was thinking at crucial points in the story. I will be asking all the juicy questions.
