MaRanda's Thoughts on BOTH books


No Reverse by Marie Croslydon

Love from two different sides of the track. Josh and Cassie had been best friends since they were six years old. They tried to live out their fairytale by getting married. But Josh’s father wasn’t having his son marry “white trash”. In Josh’s eyes, Cassie was his Cinderella.
This was one of the most emotional reads of 2013 for me. Getting married at such a young age, teen pregnancy, abortion/adoption  and then heartache.
6 years later, fate brings the two back into each others lives. But Josh has moved on. He is set to marry someone else, if Cassie would just sign the divorce papers. Despite all the anger both have built up towards one another, they share one goal. Lucas, their son.

This story is told in present and flashbacks. It seems like a lot, but it’s well worth it.

Some fav quotes.

I couldn't get enough of that sweet taste of hers. It was like nothing else, no one else. Her taste was mine. I owned it. Right from the start, I'd owned it. I wanted the rest of her to be mine again.-pg 190

Gran always used to say that true love did not give second chances. If you were too careless to miss your first chance at it, you weren't worthy of it."-pg 242



Fast Forward by Marie Croslydon

After their encounter 6 years later, Cassie and Josh decide to give true love a second chance. They go through hell and back to be together and to get their son back. Can they prove that they are stable enough parents to win the grueling custody battle?

This story, I kid you not, sucked me in. In both books, I felt love, anger and sadness. This Author has a way with words.

I can’t wait to read more from this author.

I rate both books 4.5 book marks.
