Review + Excerpt + Giveaway: The Edge of Always (The Edge of Never #2) by J. A Redmerski



He was taking the long road. She was taking the road to nowhere. It just so happened that they led to the same place…

When everything falls apart, love remains . . .


THE EDGE OF ALWAYS

Camryn Bennett has never been happier. Five months after meeting on a Greyhound bus, she and her soul mate Andrew Parrish are engaged-and a wedding isn't the only special event in their future. Nervous but excited, Camryn can't wait to begin the rest of her life with Andrew, a man she knows in her heart will love her always. They have so much to look forward to-until tragedy blindsides them. 



Andrew doesn't understand how this could happen to them. He's trying to move on, and thought Camryn was doing the same. But when Andrew discovers Camryn is secretly harboring a mountain of pain and attempting to numb it in damaging ways, there is nothing he won't do to bring her back to life. Determined to prove that their love can survive anything, Andrew decides to take Camryn on a new journey filled with hope and passion. If only he can convince her to come along for the ride...



EXCERPT:

          I turn to Andrew again, waiting for him to spit it out. A cold breeze rushes through my knitted sweater, and I hide my hands inside the sleeves.

          “You have five minutes to throw all of your stuff in your bag,” he says, and my heart is beating erratically before he finishes the sentence. He taps his wrist where there is no watch. “Not a second more.”
          
           “Andrew—”
      
           “This isn’t up for debate,” he says. “Go get your stuff.”

             I just look at him, face blank.

           My theory was right, but I didn’t want it to be. I don’t want to go on the road…I mean, I do…but it’s not right. It’s just not right.

         “You have four minutes now.”

          “But we can’t just leave like this,” I argue. “It would be rude.” I point at Asher. “And Asher just got here. Don’t you want to visit with—”

          “I can visit my big brother anytime,” Asher counters. “Right now, I think you better do what he says or you might end up on the road wearing the same panties for a week.”

           A few more seconds pass and I still haven’t moved. I’m in a state of mild shock, I guess.

           “Three minutes, babe,” Andrew says and is looking at me with a serious face. “I’m not kidding. Get up there, throw our shit in our bags, and get in the damn car.”

          Oh hell, he’s back to his old self again

          When I start to argue again, Andrew’s eyes get all feral-looking, and he says, “Hurry up. Time’s running out!” and he points to the house.

          Finally, letting down my guard and going with the moment as much as I can allow myself, I glare at him and say, “Fine.” I’m only agreeing to it because I know he’s trying make things better. But I feel guilty as hell.

          Disregarding his playful five-minute demand, I turn on my heels and walk very slowly back toward the house, purposely taking my time, partly my way of silently arguing the situation.

         I push open the bedroom door, set my bag on the bed, and start stuffing everything inside of it. Then I go into the bathroom and grab our toothbrushes and various bathroom necessities. I yank our phone chargers from the wall and then my phone from the nightstand and chuck it all into my purse. I make my way around the room, hoping that I’m not missing anything.

         Looks like Andrew already packed his stuff at some point and I never noticed.
Then I just stand here, scanning every inch of the place around me but not really seeing any of it. I don’t want to do this, but maybe it’s the right thing.
         I hear the horn honk three times, and it snaps me out of my thoughts. Grabbing my bag, I swing it over my shoulder and grab my purse from the bed.

*****My Review*****


“Our story is over, YES but out journey isn’t, because we’ll always live on the edge until the day we die.” 


BEAUTIFUL, TOUCHING, BRILLIANT,  I LOVE IT SO MUCH..!

I can’t seem to put into word how I felt after reading this book. I really had a difficult time reading this one because I don’t want to end and say goodbye to Andrew and Camryn story. The Edge of Never is one of the best book I ever read since I started this addictive hobby of mine. They have a special place in my heart and I can’t seem to convince myself that their journey will finally put to an end.


This new chapter of Andrew and Camryn takes us to a whole new level of finding the road to forever. After Andrew near death experience they are now finding their way to what feels right and where’s the place to settle. Their journey has been such a roller coaster of events. They experience loss, a moment of weakness and a whole lot more.


I really love that it’s not only Andrew POV but the author includes also Camryn. I really love getting into Andrews head and know what he really thinks and feel.  This is one of the book that when you started reading it, you can’t put it down. You’re eager to know what will happens next and where will the story flows.

What I really adore about this book is that the author able to make me feel how strong Andrew and Camryn’s love. You can feel the spark whenever they’re together. The love is radiating and very intense that you could almost feel the same. This story made me fall in love all over again to ANDREW PARRISH. He’s the epitome of a perfect boyfriend or husband to be. He’s selfless, caring, loving, giving, and so freaking handsome and SEXY..!and  I love Andrew when he’s naughty.

There’s a lot of catchy lines in this book that made my heart swell with so much love, especially when they made their vows.  I wish I could put it here but i know it will be a major spoiler but their vows really just so beautiful and touching. I really cry while reading it because it is deep and unique. Spontaneous vow is just so perfect, they just say what they really feel at that very special moment.

After reading this I just lost in the moment that I WISH ANDREW PARRISH REALLY DO EXIST. That I wish to experience someday the LOVE they have. So strong and powerful that against all the circumstances they faces they’re still inseparable. This book so far shock me with its EPILOGUE. I really didn’t see it coming and its PERFECT..! I LOVE IT SO MUCH..!

ANDREW and CAMRYN story will always be one of my favourite book couple ever. Love this book so freaking much.

            This series taught me a lot of things in life that I able to live by: about love, friendship, living life to the fullest, being true to yourself , not being afraid to reach for your dreams, Never regret and never take any second of life for granted because any second could be the last.

           J.A Redmerski is simply awesome. She made an unforgettable love story that will surely makes each in everyone of us believe that TRUE LOVE is always the best feeling anyone should experience.
