Synopsis
** SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T READ BOOK ONE**
I hate him..I love him..I hate that I still love him but I do. My parents, my life, my happiness, my heart….he has officially taken all of them from me now. Yes, I am the wilting dying Rose that once belonged to Sebastian Thorne. He had given me back my life, but little did I know he was the very one who had taken it all away from me from the start. I hate him…I love him.
I never expected Lucas Drake to walk back in my life when I was at my lowest and darkest point. He promises that he will help me heal this pain, but in order to do that he says I need to get away from this town. Maybe he is right. There is nothing here for me anymore but painful memories…and Sebastian. Maybe the only way for this Rose to survive is to do the one impossible thing. I Skylar Rose… must become Thorneless.
Excerpt
Michael and my father begin talking about football and the stock market, but I don’t hear a damn word they’re saying. My eyes and ears have never left the angel standing across from me. I remain mesmerized watching her dance back and forth with my niece against her chest. I savor their precious interaction with one another and burn the image in my brain. As I watch her smile down adoringly at my niece, I can’t help but imagine her one day holding our child.
Would our daughter be the perfect miniature version of her? Would our son have her dark hair and blue green eyes? These are the thoughts racing through my mind right now and I silently pray for that to be in our near future.
“Thank you so much for helping me since it seems my worthless lazy husband isn’t!” Stacey shouts loudly and then sends death glares at Michael.
“I’m Stacey, by the way. It’s so nice to finally meet you, Skylar! We won’t be long, I promise,” she says as she walks past us with Josh to tuck him in upstairs. She stops beside me when she sees me watching Skylar with the baby.
She covers up Josh’s ears as she leans in and whispers into my ear, “Lucas Drake, if you let that one get away, you’re a fucking idiot!” I shake my head at her and glance back to still see Skylar dancing around the yard with a giggling Avery in her arms. Before her, I never even wanted a relationship, much less marriage. I adore kids, but I certainly didn’t see me as a father. In one moment, in one meeting . . . Skylar changed all of that. All I can see is the beautiful angel that I want to have as my wife and the mother of my children. I’m okay with as many little miniature versions of us as she wants to have.
Kota's Review
Mia Michelle’s Thorneless is book 2 in the Rose of Thorne series. This book picks up immediately when Book 1 finishes, and because of this you cannot read this as a standalone. So whatever you do – if you haven’t read Rose of Thorne (book 1) Check out my 4 heart review here, and read that first.
I am not even sure I could manage to avoid spoilers in this review, so its best you just don’t READ ANY FURTHER!
Got it? Good – off you go – grab your copy of Rose of Thorne and then come back to me!
Now… Thorneless
Skylar has left Sebastian, and is absolutely shattered by his betrayal. In her state of mind she is lucky that Lucas stumbles across her. Lucas is still in love with Skylar so this presents him with an opportunity to make you see how much she needs him.
This story unravels as Skylar settles in to trying to live her life without Sebastian in it. Her and Lucas become firm friends and you can see how much Lucas wants no needs this to become more. Will Skylar ever let go of the love she felt for Sebastian?
Is Lucas really that much of a sap? I mean the things he was willing to accept just for a taste of Skylar – man – get some self respect!
Will Sebastian ever get the chance to talk to Skylar and try and make her understand?
You will definitely need to read this to find out – be prepared though Mia does what Mia does best and leaves you hanging on that cliff…
Thorneless is pure Mia Michelle, it is well written and an easy read. There is angst throughout, but it sits in the shadow of perfect relationship dynamics. That said, the heartbreak throughout this story was clearly evident, and made you feel for the players involved.
I was a little disappointed that this was more about Skylar and Lucas, and little about Sebastian – although he was always lurking, I wanted more direct interaction between him and Skylar. I also think I wanted this to be the conclusion, and it wasn’t! Which of course makes me need to see where this story heads and how it gets there – but I was hoping it would have gone full circle in this story.
Again this was sent through as an ARC, which had editorial errors, I hope these are corrected before publishing, but… it is my niggling pet peeve.. Anyhoo – the story was there, and that is the main thing.
I will give Thorneless 4 hearts – it is a well-constructed and entertaining read, and I cant really rate it down because I wanted a different outcome… can i? Mia I enjoy your tone and style and look forward to the next installment!
