Annie Brewer (anniebrewer) | 2351 comments Here we can talk about the BEST BOOK IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!! OH AND OF COURSE NICK.....So anyone who has read this, let's get to gushing. Favorite scene? Saddest scene? What made you angry? Happy???

CHAT CHAT CHAT!!!


Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
I'll chat as I delve deeper into the book just read the first chapter


Kait I came across a blog today that listed SGT as one of their favorites. I went all fangirly and left a two paragraph comment on how much I LOVE NICK!

HUGE SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!


One thing that made me angry was this:
The chapter where Hugh was playing with Katie and Alix says it's the first time she felt anything real for him, so I'm all smiling thinking about him playing with the baby. Then the next freaking sentence is pretty much three months later Katie died. I was like "WHAT!?!?!" I had to stop reading to process and sob for about ten minutes after that. I felt the way Alix did, like the connection to Nick died with Katie.

And I was pretty angry with Alix for the way she told Nick. That broke my heart. :[


Annie Brewer (anniebrewer) | 2351 comments Haha I love fangirling over this effing book. And I effing LOVE Nick like no one's business!!!!

Yes that was horrible! I sobbed for Alix then for like 15 minutes. And I was so lost and angry that she was gone. Omg that was horrible.

Oh man at the frickin cemetery is what broke me to pieces. Holy shit I felt the whole floor fall from under me. And I had to stop reading to compose myself. Poor Nick. Omg poor Nick!!!!! :(

this book was so damm heartbreaking i cannot wait till it comes on paperback so i can read it again and cry like a baby all over again LOL


Amanda (mandy) | 1311 comments This book was so good! I wasn't sure going into it whether or not I would like it. But I was happy I did.
Totally love Nick!

I know, I am waiting for my copy still. It said by next week I will have it! I WANT IT NOW!!! I want to re read it and experience it all over again and be swept away by Nick's godliness!!!! *sigh*


Kait I definitely NEED this on my shelf. Some books I don't care if I only have on my Nook, but this one has to be on my shelf. I will definitely be re reading it. I've been raving about it to a fellow booky at work. I've been quite pushy.

YEAH thats like me i have all my books on my iphone or computer i only buy my favourites on paperback from now on and this was one of them lol


Annie Brewer (anniebrewer) | 2351 comments YES, this is definitely a book that NEEDS to be on the shelf! It just has to be, it's too good NOT to be despite the cover. I still love it and can't wait to get mine in the mail....this week! I want it now!!!

Good, keep pushing! I am ALWAYS pushing this book on people!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
OK I'm spent and exhausted but this book was well worth the turmoil and heartache I am so in love ... halfway through I was ready to not continue not because it was good because I can't believe she never chased Nick down to tell him she was pregnant but instead married Hugh the douche WTH I was crying my eyes and and screaming NO and I can't do this it's going to be too painful and then as I read on I kept saying WTF WTF WTF and then phew and WTF and YAY and oh no I can't believe she told him like that and WTF and phew and OMG LOL


Jody lots of wtf and omgs there, I guess I better get started.


Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
LOL yes Jody you will be doing one of both with every chapter


Jody Im a bit behind with whats going on in goodreads this week, I have not even marked that Ive finished Lux 2 yet....going to do that now! I finished about 4 days ago lol


Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
LOL don't worry I haven't been on much either ... but woohoo that you finished Onyx


Jody and now Ive bought Pushing the Limits I can now finish that too, since Scarlett deleted the book on me grrr


Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
Oh no she didn't LOL I would of been mortified but yes that's another one you have to read


Jody (view spoiler)


Jody and when Alix told Nick about you know what and it just broke him, I was so upset with her. Its not all about her all the time. I cant believe she told him like that. I want to cuddle him, poor guy. It killed him. He didn't know about it, so what could he do. It wasn't his fault. And how she kept blaming him grrrr I wanted to smack her out.


Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
Oh I know Jody I wanted to throttle her constantly she blamed Nick for everything but she chose not to hunt him down and tell him at the time so to continually blame him was irritating me but everything you speak of I felt the same the pain and torment when Nick found out I nearly died :(


Jody Exactly, she was constantly blaming him for everything that went wrong and he was always so forgiving and willing do anything for her. It broke my heart how much he loved her and she was screaming at him to just go away. I wouldn't have bought her another heart. I would have said no fuck you bitch you smashed it up with a hammer, go buy your own now lol
And when he set up the candles with the ring aww he was such a sweetheart of guy. Yep book boyfriend for sure.


Jody I was soooo scared something was going to happen to Nick though, jesus I was stressed.


Annie Brewer (anniebrewer) | 2351 comments Ahhhhhh I died at that scene. God I was glad I was on my knees already at that moment because I would have crashed hard to my knees in sobs. I was mad at her too especially when she destroyed that one thing she destroyed. As soon as she picked up that wrench or whatever I knew what she was going to do and I started screaming out at her in rage. Fuck that whole scene knocked me out in torment. Poor Nick, my poor sweet sexy amazing Nick. Ahhhhhhhh I want him!!


message 25: by Sylvia (last edited Aug 28, 2012 09:01PM) (new) - rated it 5 stars

Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
Yeah she really put him through the ringer and he never gave up you know that's quite admirable to me what a beautiful quality to have and she took advantage of that and the moment she thought she had lost him forever she then snapped out of it and realised he didn't deserved to be tortured like that !! Love him he is definitely book boyfriend material


Jody The part at the grave site just killed me and that was all
Alix, the way she told him and wanted to crush him. He didn't deserve it. Not like that. I want him tooooooo.


Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
He definitely did not deserve that at all she went about it wrong and her intentions were just plain cruel I could never be that malice :(


Annie Brewer (anniebrewer) | 2351 comments But at the grave site she apologies doesn't she? That's when she realizes what a dumbass she was for destroying him before.....no? Eeek I'm confused, I think my brain was fried and clogged at that time to remember clearly now. I just need my book to be delivered to me now....I've waited long enough better:/


Jody yeah she said sorry and they spend the next hour talking about katy and she tells Nick all about her then they go home and look at a photo album. She is just lucky he still wanted her.


Jody ohh I need to get a copy too.


Annie Brewer (anniebrewer) | 2351 comments Oh yeah I remember that part. Oh man Jody I'm reading Pulled and it reminds me of Nick and Alix so much. Fucking shit these two books are fucking killing me beyond recognition. I've been a mental and emotional case all day!!!! I was sick to my stomach!!!! :(


Jody Yeah Pulled is a bit like Sweet Gum Tree, they are both just so emotional. I came across Pulled by accident on my kindle the other month and thought Id give it a go. I love when that happens. But what a good find SGT was. Just loved it. But no more fucking sad, cry my eyes out emotional books do you hear me!! LOL I can't take anymore.


Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod
Oh Annie :( I really can't be reading another emotional book yet again I'm going to have to wait a bit for that one

Annie Brewer (anniebrewer) | 2351 comments Ha ha umm I can't promise that! But I'll try. I love those kind though....don't ask why. I'm a sick fuck I suppose!! But they are both my favorite reads and TTR. God damn it I can't take the pain but yet I still go to them. I just love Alix and Nick and Daniel and Melanie. They each live in my heart forever!!! :(

I think Seduced in the Dark (The Dark Duet, #2) by CJ Roberts will be a mind f$&k and make us an emotional wreck by what Erin has said


Annie Brewer (anniebrewer) | 2351 comments I know Sylvia. You can wait but keep them close so you can read them soon! I'm not sure how much more I can take either. That's why I have a light read every once in awhile. It helps


Jody yeah Annie you sick fuck :P and jesus I had better prepare myself for the next Seduced in the Dark then. Cause that shit was intense. Annie has to read it!! I need to move on to some erotica I think, enough heart squashing romance, give me some throbbing and heart palpatations bookie reads ;)


Sylvia | 13086 comments Mod

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments OMG and the part where Alix tells Nick about Katie! The way she's so hurt and just wants him to hurt just as bad :( and it devastates him. How he just wants to die. And then the scene at the cemetery when she tells him, let me tell you about Katie, I just wanted to cry out for them both!! My heart just BROKE for them.......
