Wait for It (Everything I Left Unsaid, #4) By Molly OKeefe
Really An impression But the chill in my bones told me who he was It was like I had some sensor buried in my brain that warned me when he was close Blake Edwards My hate was a wrecking ball against that big beautiful red brick wall that held me up My unadulterated loathing for that man took my wall down in one swing Blake simplifies things with money If you can pay for it you can put it in a box and you can keep it outside of your walls You don t have to deal with feelings because money speaks a clear language This is the rule Blake lives by He categorizes people and puts a prize tag on them It is what he thinks he can do with Tiffany when she shows up after a year with her kids in tow She needs help and Blake knows that he treated her despicably a year ago He wants to do right by her and make her and her children safe But you are lying to yourself if you think your money makes things clear for other people The only person it clarifies things for is you Everyone else Just pawns Dylan a pawn Me.
They both have a long way to go until they find common ground. I ADORED these thoroughly flawed characters Both of them are so broken and hurt by their respective past that it was delicious to see them come undone by the other one It was also hard to see them so desperately longing for the other one but too many years of unresolved issues and feelings lie buried inside of them God Yes Please Please like me Please see me See everything I ve hidden for so long in fear of scaring everyone I love away See it and stay See it and love me When Tiffany finds her self esteem and worth again it is glorious and finally Blake and her are equal Their growth was nothing short of painful but also so rewarding in the end And holy hell they were hot together This is my first Molly O Keefe book and it definitely won t be my last I love her writing.
It certainly left me wanting and waiting for I am a huge fan of Ms O Keefe and this series Wait for It is sure to please contemporary romance fans who like edgy characters with stunning dialogue and plenty of steam Everything I Left Unsaid Series This was a BR with my Shhlutty sister TIMITRA ARC graciously provided via NETGALLEY in exchange for an honest review For reviews reveals giveaways visit ebook

Molly O Keefe has always known she wanted to be a writer except when she wanted to be a florist or a chef and the brief period of time when she considered being a cowgirl And once she got her hands on some romances.4 STARSReview Vanilla Spice BooksA year ago Tiffany took money from her husband s brother with the condition to stay away from his family otherwise he would do everything in his power to take her kids away from her Now she is sitting in front of her best friend s house about to crash a Christmas party She is in dire straits and in need of help Her abusive husband has found her and she fled with her kids through the bathroom window Soon she will learn that the man she despises the man who bought her absence from her kids family is there as well It was barely a glimpse More a sense a pawn Tiffany a pawn And you think you can control everything with this money of yours But all you do is hurt people with it by trying to control them with it In the end it is what will hurt you the most Because you ll use it as a weapon to push everyone away You ll be alone Blake But maybe that s the way you want it Because alone is simple isn t it She left taking what felt like my guts with her Tiffany is a survivor but behind all the bluster she shows her husband s brother she is broken Often times her pride gets in her way and then her steely backbone makes an appearance She is hell bent to not need anyone but the longer she has to deal with Blake the she sees behind his walls but she knows she can t trust her own feelings so she shies away from letting him in. Blake seems cold and calculating but deep down festers a hurt so bad that he has built brick walls around his heart that are impossible to breach I said nothing because all I d ever done was hurt And make sure no one saw it It was my true skill Well making money and making sure no one knew how I felt But Tiffany comes with a wrecking ball and bit by bit she wears him down Yet it is gritty but fluid With Wait For It she gives us an angst filled and emotional story I read it in one sitting and couldn t put it down Now I need to catch up with the previous books in this series ebook 45 Money can t buy everything stars This was a wonderful ride I liked very much the previous book of Everything I left unsaid series and i liked this one even Mrs O Keefe knows how to write stories that would keep your interest in high levels and i m enjoying to spent some time in the company of her heroes The book started from the moment that we had already witnessed in the epilogue of the third book Burn down the night If you have read all the previous three books you already have seen Blake and Tiffany and their connection with the previous characters but honestly i haven t read the first books but i had no problem to follow their storyIt can be read as standalone She was the miracle I was trying to hold on to. What s the connection between Blake and Tiffany He is her brother in law and she is his brother s wifeWhat s their history Before a year Blake found out that Tiffany was married with his brother and he bought her up to stay away from his familyBut now the present has come and everything is about to change His hand touched my leg and I grabbed it I held it with both of mine like he was a lifeline and I needed saving Or maybe I was the lifeline and he needed saving. She fell in love with Phil and now she is alone with three kids and an abusive husband that he comes and goes all the damn time but not for good reasonAnd yes she took Blake s money but only for the reason to make her children s life slightly better Rock bottom may come in different forms but here s the trick it always smells the same Like panic and tears Like regret and vomit Fear and blood. Blake from the other hand is used to buy everything up He has money and he knows that with them he can make his life easier But you can t buy everything Blake from a very early age had to clean up the messes of his brother and at the beginning he saw Tiffany as Phil s messBut then he started to realize that this woman was different and he wanted to help her. As you can understand a weird connection started between themWhy weird Well in the beginning the things were awkward between themTiffany didn t trust Blake and he didn t trust her either and then they started to feel things for each other but they thought that they could keep their distances especially in the matter of heartAnd they made many mistakes especially Blake and this obsession of his with money Will they survive those mistakes Will they manage to get free from Phil both of them Whatever this is this impetus you have to help me right now I know it s a lie You re not kind Blake and I ve had than enough lies in my life I don t want any Tiffany I kissed her like she was the solution My solution Like she was everything I needed And right now that was the truth And I longed with my naked soul to be her solution Blake I really liked Blake and Tiffany Tiffany was a true fighter and she was loving her children so much She could do anything for them But she had to take her life in her hands and to be finally free from Phil and his big hands Mostly for the sake of her children but hers too I m scared that the way I want you will tie me to you when I know that s not what either of us wants Or needs But I m just so I trailed off because there were so many words that could fill in that blank. Blake from the other hand was trying to stay untouched from many things in life He was a little bit of an asshole cruel and ruthless But deep down inside he was much than that Please see me See Everything I ve hidden for so long in fear of scaring everyone I love away. Those two together were so perfect They had wrong beginning and they kept doing mistakes but they were fitting so good together They just had to fight away their demons and to not be afraid to live and love It wasn t sex It wasn t just sex It was her. I have to add that i liked very much Blake s mother and the three kids They were so cute In their short life they had lived too many shits and they deserved something better All the secondary characters were really good except a minority ARC kindly provided via NetGalley for the exchange of an honest review ebook 3. 75 stars Whatever this is this impetus you have to help me right now I know it s a lie You re not kind Blake and I ve had than enough lies in my life I don t want any Even though I have enjoyed the majority of this series I shamefully did not really recall the main characters in this installment Luckily we got a bit of a reminder at the beginning and I honestly believe this book can be read as a standalone novel Wait For It is about a woman named Tiffany who has three kids and an abusive husband She had a very bad past encounter with her brother in law Blake and now a year later when she needs help he s the one who wants to step in But Tiffany doesn t trust easily especially the man who paid her off and treated her like trash It s up to Blake to figure out a way to help Tiffany and do the right thing Listen to me he said I will never hurt you or touch you I won t put my hands on you unless you ask me Beg me I gasped and fell back against the door strength leaving my legs And I want you to beg me he said still closer And I think someday you will I found the best part about this book was the main characters and how flawed yet beautiful they both were Both very much wanted someone to see through their hard exterior and to be loved for who they truly were within Granted it took them both a while because both of them had spent so many years building protective walls around their hearts O Keefe delivers an intense complicated romance filled with sensitive characters trying to change their lives for the better You can t help but root for this couple they ve dealt with so much crap in their lives and they deserve the best.

ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review Thank you NetGalley ebook In a blistering novel of raw emotion and desire a tormented woman teaches an alpha male that money can t fix everythingbut love can Tiffany After fighting for a new life I don t want to play the victim any However with three kids to raise I m getting desperate enough to make a deal with the devil My estranged brother in law Blake says he just wants to help but he s been trouble since I met him I don t know if I can believe this kinder gentler Blake and there s a friction between us that has turned into the sweetest chemistry He could be my salvationor my downfall Blake I haven t always had Tiffany s best interests at heart but I m ready to make up for my sins Besides I can t help admiring her the girl s a genuine survivor tough and lean with eyes of steel But the I get to know Tiffany the I want her Every inch of her Which means I m about to make a bad situation a hell of a lot worse Wait for It Everything I Left Unsaid 4 4 STARS I wanted her Every bit of her And every thorn between us I wanted the sharp corners and the deep shadows Ever since Blake first hit my radar in The Truth About Him I ve been itching to get my hands on his story It s no secret that I m a sucker for the assholes and let s be frank there s no other word better to describe the man He s cold ruthless and will spare nothing and no one to get what he wants While you could technically read this book as a standalone I wouldn t recommend it The author does an incredible job giving the reader plenty of backstory that you wouldn t be lost however the intricacies of these characters that was slowly developed as the series progressed would be lost on you I just don t think you d have the same appreciation for who they are and what they ve been through without at lease reading the first two books Tiffany was a woman I didn t click with until this book While a part of me felt sorry for her and her situation her actions at times made her easy to dislike But somewhere beneath that loathing and pity there was also a small beacon of hope that this is a woman that s hiding her deeper layers and boy did I get them here He stood there with the street lights throwing an icy light across him He was beautiful In a perfectly cold way Having survived an abusive marriage and having no one to turn to for help has turned her into a shell of the woman she once was But even though she s frail she s no where near broken And when her husband s estranged brother questions her morality and the paternity of their kids she doesn t hesitate to give as good as she gets. To say that these two get off to a rocky start would be an understatement And I deserved both Her want and her hate It was the currency I d dealt with It was the currency I d created Because I could not figure out what to do with anything else Molly O Keefe is a master of serving her readers up with characters that are almost irreparably broken and twining it all around a raw emotion that s so gripping it s as riveting as it is heart rending She really brought her A game with the story of Blake and Tiffany. These two are as far from perfect as it gets Both have a troubled past and demons that they hide from They should be toxic together and yet there s something about their individual broken pieces that almostjust barelymakes something whole I kissed her like she was the solution My solution Like she was everything I needed And right now that was the truth And I longed with my naked soul to be her solution Their means of getting together aren t exactly orthodox but knowing their backstories it also made a certain kind of sense. This is not a story of black and white it was somewhere deep in the gray and it certainly wasn t a light hearted read It was painful emotional raw gritty everything I ve come to expect from this amazingly talented author Wrapped in all of that was a sexual chemistry that was so hot it was damn near explosive I can t wait to fuck you he said I can t wait to put my cock inside this hot greedy little body I can t wait to feel every inch of you against me your pussy milking my cock until I can t give you any I want you to scream and bite and claw I want you to come so hard it hurts There s so much depth to both of these characters and their story is one of many layers that at first shouldn t make sense but yet they do It s a story that may not click with every reader but it definitely did with this one. I would have loved for the hate lust between them to last longer but that s because I m a glutton for punishment and loves me some angst If you re looking for a romance full of raw emotion and sexual chemistry this is one series you need to check out I ve been waiting a long time for Blake and Tiffany s story and I can say it was very much worth the wait. ARC courtesy of publisher in exchange for an honest reviewFind me on ebook I wasn t sure how I d feel about this book because it does cross some lines but when I sighed contentedly at the very last scene I knew I d made the right choice Tiffany has hit whatever is below rock bottom and the introduction of an entitled hard Blake is not what she needs She s proud but practical She s hella strong but fragile in so many ways She s fierce but sweet She s flawed but still manages to make you believe Blake is a hard man that hides a soft center He is cold yet warm towards those he loves He protects but hurts He makes many mistakes here Yet the growth for both was exceptional The plot deals with some sensitive issues but I was enthralled with how the story unfolded The writing was just fantastic One would think that with all the obstacles even the emotional ones brought in by each of them that these two would never work but there s just something magical about reading it all coming together Yes some very sensitive lines are crossed but I am wholeheartedly grateful that I didn t let it deter me because I would ve missed out on an incredible story Safety Yes to abuse both physical and sexual but with an emotional component to the latter Heroine IS married and not to the hero Actually it s his brother she s married to and has kids with I know It makes me cringe but I honestly don t regret reading ARC received in exchange for an honest review ebook I started to give this book a four Then I figured what the heck for I LOVED it I read the sucker in one day and lately that is a flat out dang miracle. It opens a year ago when Tiffany who is looked at as trailer trash is in a hard way Her brother in law Blake shows up and offers her money for her to just disappear He has a fancy smancy family and doesn t want Tiffany or her kids as part of that Let her live with her abusive husband if she wants to Just make her go away. but that doesn t stop him Because assholes like him really never go away She shows up at one of the family s fancy thangs with no bra kids in tow Guess who is there Butt hole Blake. He finds out that his brother has destroyed her apartment and starts having some guilt He starts coming around and trying to help He is still totally somewhat of a butthole and used to getting his own way by flashing his money around I wanted to punch him a few times It s who I am Tiffany is no shrinking violet the woman has done a bang up job of raising her kids and trying to provide for them She just got tired of being a punching bag She knows parts of her are broken so she doesn t trust money boy Blake at all. the sparks started to fly and my lady parts started roaring You guys just thought I was done with grossing you out Before you get all bent out of shape This book doesn t have any insta loving stuff going on It doesn t have perfect characters These people are real people In my head anyways Stretch marks sagging boobs. It s a slow burn on the smexy times too But when it happens Booksource Netgalley in exchange for review ebook 5 Rock Bottom Stars It s not often a book makes me feel emotional In fact I spent the entire time reading Wait for It with my heart in my throat Because you must wonder how much a person can take before they shatter. At 25 years old Tiffany Edwards has lived numerous lifetimes over On the run from an abusive husband she is not only the protector of herself but her 3 small children Pride will only get you so far before desperation wins out and you re forced to ask for help. Blake Edwards is harsh and emotionally closed off Money is now his currency and a bargaining chip Years of picking up the pieces for his deadbeat brother has left him dry Discovering that Phil has a wife and 3 children abandoned and abused is unacceptable Just another problem he thinks he can fix with money Yet he hadn t anticipated the woman that Tiffany is A devoted mother who has recently discovered the power of saying no However when Blake bulldozes his way into Tiffany s life she can t ignore what he is offering A lifeline to rid herself of an estranged husband and help in regaining her self esteem Granted that Blake s methods are unorthodox they are effective. Essentially these two people are broken fucked up And to be fair neither are open to love Too many trust issues and betrayals They initially find a common ground sex But eventually they can t deny that they fit and want to mend each other. The tension and hurt skated off the pages The passion smouldering and their coupling mouthwatering Molly O Keefe writes amazingly flawed characters and scenarios that seriously hit home From the first page I was goner Loved it ebook 4. Wait for It is the fourth book in the Everything I Left Unsaid Series Although you can read this book as a stand alone I highly recommend reading the entire series from the first book to grasp the depths of these character relationships and circumstances Wait for It is the story of Tiffany and Blake Both Tiffany and Blake have been present throughout the series and it is finally their time to shine The silence between us was jagged as the broken ornaments on the floor Every time I exhaled it felt like I was getting sliced to pieces We know Tiffany as Annie s best friend Living in the trailer park with her three children Tiffany has been running from her abusive husband Blake Dylan s best friend and business partner happens to be Tiffany s brother in law When Tiffany comes to Blake to try and get some help Blake does what he always does and pays her off It was so fucking exciting Were we going to fight or fuck When Tiffany and Blake s paths cross once again Blake begins to recognize Tiffany for the strong and independent woman she is He also realizes the damage her brother has done to her Blake devises a plan to get to know Tiffany better and because he has spent his life cleaning up after his brother s messes he decides he wants to make Tiffany and her three kids his to fix With passion betrayal and family on the line Blake must learn how to let go and love Before any match can be made Tiffany must learn to trust again Is Blake strong enough to break through her brokenness and make her feel right again Managing with every breath her need for distance and my need to smash that distance to pieces Told in dual POV Wait for It is another stunning addition to this series I have been completely captivated by these complex characters and combined with the rich writing style of this author I will be a forever fan The plot in this one was slightly predictable and yet the execution was made unique with Blake and Tiffany s special arrangement The sensuality scale is off the chart and the addition of the kids amped up the family love factor to an entirely new level I especially loved seeing the transformation and growth between Dylan and Annie and I adore Blake s mom and her strength throughout The pacing flows naturally and as the plot unfolds I was highly entertained by each and every interaction between Tiffany and Blake The story arc is thoroughly developed and although I would have liked time with these two in the end she knew exactly what she wanted to write. Originally from a small town outside of Chicago she went to university in St Louis where she met and fell in love with the editor of her school newspaper They followed each other around the world for several years and finally got married and settled down in Toronto Ontario They welcomed their son into their family in 2006 and their daughter in 2008 When she s not at the park or cleaning up the toy room Molly is working hard on her next novel trying to exercise stalking Tina Fey on the internet and dreaming of the day she can finish a cup of coffee without interruption, Was it possible we could save each other Tiffany made a mistake once upon a time: You can t make this right Tiffany s words were true But I still felt compelled to try To change some of the shit Phil had left her dealing with, I wanted her and I wanted the honor of being wanted by her, And fuck if I hadn t made my whole life about getting what I wanted. Bring it to mama Now that I ve grossed all of Goodreads out. Fast forward to now time Tiffany has left abusive husband Phil.
