Amie's Review of Elusive Love by K.A. Robinson ~ BLOG TOUR ~





SYNOPSIS ~

Love is often elusive, hard to find and even harder to hold on to.
Caley Rogers knew that from a young age.
When Joey Sanders walks into her life, she thinks she’s finally found the love she has so desperately been seeking.
Five years, a marriage, and a child later, Caley realizes her mistake. Trapped in a life with no love at all, she seeks out an old friend who quickly becomes her confidant.
Ethan Blake has loved Caley for years. When she reenters his life one random night, he never expects more than friendship, but after weeks of secret meetings and listening to Caley’s confessions of a loveless marriage, the unthinkable happens. Ethan and Caley finally share their true feelings for one another.
Now, they must face the consequences of their emotions—dealing with not only the uncertainty of their situation and Caley and Ethan’s guilt, but also with the end of Caley’s marriage to a man who isn’t ready to let go.
Love is more than just an emotion. It’s more than a single word. To Caley and Ethan, it’s everything.

REVIEW

AMIE'S 4.5 STAR REVIEW
I love when I haven't read an author for a while and then I pick up their new book and fall right into it and feel like I am home !! I have been a K.A. Robinson fan since the days of Drake, I always enjoyed the angsty feel to her stories and the younger ages of her characters. They are easy enough to relate to because we have all been there and made some of the same dumb choices yet they are old enough to also have some ADULT responsibilities that we may have in common. In this story we have a few struggles that I feel were very common and easy to relate to. Caley and Joey have been together since high school and now in their very early twenties they are unhappily married with a young baby. Caley is not only having some post partum issues but Joey has treated her poorly enough over the years to bring her self esteem issues back to the surface. An old friend comes back into the picture and Caley realizes the issues in her marriage are never going to change so maybe it is time that she changes something bigger. Again these struggles are common and although Caley did a few things I frowned upon I could understand her. She is confused and hung up on staying together for her child. She stays in the hopes of having those  blissful times they have had every now and then and she doesn't think there is any other way to be. One drunken Facebook session with her old friend Ethan changes things and sets her on the path to bettering herself and her daughter's future. Nothing ever goes as planned , nothing ever stays innocent even with the best intentions. At times I felt for Joey but that quickly changed when his true colors shown through. The end felt a little rushed , I would have loved more of the after but I did enjoy the quick read and the K.A. Robinson feel !! I missed her...
