BLURB:

 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Molly McAdams’ powerful new novel offers one of the most memorable love triangles in fiction since Twilight—perfect for fans of New Adult fiction like Jamie McGuire, Abbi Glines, and Tamarra Webber.

Futures are uncertain, unpredictable—like ink spilled across the purest surface. Nearly imperceptible ripples move and flow until a unique stain is formed. The ink is permanently imbedded in the surface…

During one wild night in college, Jentry Michaels is a tidal wave of ink that brands Aurora Wilde’s soul. An unparalleled stain she can’t forget despite the many months that have passed—and despite the distraction she’d hoped she would find in her new relationship with Declan, the charmer who captured her heart soon after. Jentry has irrevocably touched her soul, and he is intertwined in her present and future in ways she never fathomed. Now Aurora is faced with keeping that night hidden though it feels as if the ink has indelibly etched their story across her skin.

When Declan is confronted with his own personal demons, Aurora must decide if she will continue to hold tight to their relationship and a safe, reliable future with him, or if she will turn to Jentry—the guy she can’t forget no matter how hard she tries.…

SHANNON'S 4 STAR REVIEW:

Have you ever experienced that once in a lifetime, feel it in your bones, soul baring, heart achingly beautiful type of love making? No, well, Rori aka Aurora has. Just the once, though.  She met “Jay” at a frat party. She felt the pull of him and throughout the night their eyes kept finding each other across crowded rooms, drunk girls, and bad intentions. She never expected to see him again. Just a one-time best sex of your life drunken night.

Jentry was home from the Marines, hanging at his brother’s frat party when he saw her. He needed to know her. Feel her.  Hear her.  He couldn’t tear his eyes off of her.  Once he finally got close enough to do those things he didn’t want to let her go. But he had promises to keep and people to protect.  In the end he would only know her as Aurora.

Aurora’s never been one to just randomly hook up with guys and the one she did stole her complete being. She couldn’t get him out of her head, off her skin, out of her heart.  She needed to find him and the only thing she knew about him was his name was “Jay” and the frat house in which he lived. Sure, he said he was leaving the next day, but wasn’t that just a line used in most one night stands So, she went searching him out but to no avail.  The only thing she found were some sexy green eyes and a prince charming named Declan.

Declan fell head over heels in love with Rori. They moved in together and talked about their future. They faced normal obstacles and some abnormal obstacles but they loved each other and could survive it.  Couldn’t they? Rori loved Declan just as much she could but there was always going to be a part of her still in love and in lust with “Jay”.  After all, it was him she imagined during sex, his eyes she told herself she was looking in, and his body she was being satisfied by, not Declan. 

When Declan’s brother, Jentry, joins them for a family getaway at the beach no one is more ready to meet him than Rori. She’s heard nothing but great things about him and how much the family loves and respects him. He was adopted but he’s still 100% family.  It takes about 3 seconds before her heart jumps from her chest to her feet and she feels it break into a thousand broken shards. She knows that face, that smile, those eyes.  She remembers the way he tastes and the way he feels.  She knows that her life is about to spiral out of control now that she’s face to face with the only man who’s ever made her feel alive, her boyfriend’s brother, Jentry or “Jay” as he told her to remember him by after that one night of heaven on earth. 

Can you love two people at once? If it’s different type of love, can you? Is it possible to love one man but be in love with another? Rori and Jentry both feel as though they’ve cheated on Declan but since it was before she met him, it wasn’t cheating was it? Is it cheating if they don’t tell him and just move forward with their lives? Will they be able to forget about their one beautiful night or will the memory become too strong to ignore? What will happen if Declan finds out, will he let her go or fight his brother for her?

I love Molly McAdams and her writing.  This one is a no brainer, must read.  There’s nothing she writes that I don’t love.  She hit this one out of the park with a love – not – so – triangle.

Favorite Quotes:

~~The past was standing right in front of me, begging to be seen.

~~I tried to forget you, but somehow you embedded yourself so deeply into my soul in just one night, that forgetting you – forgetting that night – was impossible. I don’t need a lifetime with you to know that no one and nothing will ever compare to what’s between us.

~~There’s no mistaking the girl who destroyed your entire being.

~~Letting you leave that night was the biggest mistake of my life, but not letting you leave now would be the second. So leave before I starting fighting for you in a battle I can’t win.
