Stories and Swag!: Review: Abandon by Cassia Leo

This gritty spin-off of the New York Times bestselling Shattered Hearts Series follows mysterious and sexy Tristan as he attempts to abandon his demons in the name of love. This full-length novel can be read as a stand-alone or after Bring Me Home.

A steady stream of meaningless sex is all Tristan has left when he discovers the grandmother who raised him is dying and his best friend is getting married. He is lost; and the dark secrets in his past keep coming back to remind him of this.

Until Tristan has an idea that will change his life and fulfill his dying grandmother’s wishes: Abandon his playboy ways and settle down.

And who better to do it with than Senia, the girl who has occupied his thoughts since their scorching hot tryst in the back of his sports car. The girl who makes him laugh and feel like a kid again.

But when his world begins to crumble around him, the pain Tristan is hiding finds its way to the surface. Will Tristan finally learn to trust again? Or will he abandon Senia when she needs him the most?

Christina says...

Cassia Leo hit it out of the park with this one. Tristan has demons that haunt him from his past. He is a playboy to the max. But something in Senia draws him in, and makes him want to be better. Senia of course is doesn’t make it easy on him. I fell in love with the way Tristan takes care of his grandmother and his sister. No its not always the “best care” but you can tell Tristan loves them fiercely and would do anything to protect them if need be from the monsters of their past. When Tristan and Senia are thrown a curve ball, I love how it makes Tristan face himself. He becomes a better man from it. And by the way if you like Frozen Yogurt, let me tell you right now.... you will NEVER look at it the same again after reading this book!! I know my review isn’t super long but I honestly feel there is only so much I can say without revealing too much. I loved Tristan and Senia’s story. Let’s just say you want to read this book! It needs to be on everyone’s TBR list! 5 stars to Cassia Leo!!
