Soulmate

Hhmmm….for the very first time, I’m having trouble with how to write a review for this particular author’s books. Seriously. There’s just soooo much I want to say about Soulmate, but I would be revealing way too many spoilers if I did that. And I don’t want to be a dick. So here’s my attempt. Just bear with me… First off, let me just say that I really, REALLY liked the book. There…out with the easy part. Deep down, I was thoroughly entertained and liked the entire plot of the storyline. The writing was flawless, like all Katie McCoy books that I’ve read. The characters’ dynamic together was explosive, playing off the friends-to-lovers vibe that works well for stories like this one. The development and evolution of Sawyer and Gabi’s relationship was effortless, and the desire and passion that leapt off the pages was wholly scintillating, scorching hot, and emotionally driven. BUT. And I really hate to throw this ‘but’ in here, BUT I wanted to throttle both characters repeatedly throughout the span of reading their story. No joke. I wanted to scream, rage, and strangle both of them for entirely different reasons. This story messed with my emotions and outlook on this book the entire time. One minute, I was absolutely sure this was another 5-star read for me. Then in the next chapter, I was about ready to throw my kindle across the room and yell hysterically. I won’t go into great detail about WHY I had this strong of a reaction – remember, I don’t want to be a dick – but let me just say that as many positive qualities both characters had, their downfalls were just as big. Goodness gracious. I don’t know what I was expecting out of Sawyer and Gabi’s story, but it wasn’t this. But after reading it, I’m glad I had such a profound reaction to it. It tells me that the author’s ability at engaging her readers and capturing their attention is a quality not all authors possess. This book will linger with me and make me even more anxious for the next, and final, book in the Rascals Series. Pick up Soulmate now. It won’t disappoint!

Soulmate by Katie McCoy is the fourth book in her Rascals series. Told in dual POV between Sawyer (Who you would have met previously in the series) and Gabi, his college best friend and the girl with the unacknowledged, unrequited crush. Well-written and well-paced this book is funny, emotional and sexy. After five years away, Gabi is back in Chicago, having left to escape her best friend who was completely unaware of her feelings for him. But she is back and ready to build a new life back in her home town. When a near death experience ends with her in none other than Sawyers arms she feels like maybe the universe if having fun with her at her expense. Sawyer lost his best friend years ago when she moved away after graduation and ghosted him. Now that she is back he is experiencing all kinds of feelings towards her that are far outside the spectrum of BEST FRIEND. Determined to not ruin the best friendship he's ever had with the one person he knows he can't live without Sawyer is fighting all the feelings towards Gabi, even if it is making him a sullen and moody person to be around. Quirky and funny and very, very sexy - I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Enjoy!

Sawyer has been Emmy's best friend back in college. They met in the most weird circumstances, but they hit it off. It didn't take long for Emmy to fall in love with him. Problem is that, Sawyer would do any girl but her. She's invisible to him. She's his buddy. So, what she did after graduation was to move far away from him without telling him. Years later, she was back in Chicago. Someone needed her. Running into Sawyer was last thing in her mind, but fate has other plans and Chicago is so small they just have to bump into each other. The man can still take her breathe away. But no way she was going to sit there and wait for him to notice her, she'd do something this time, and make him see what he's been missing. But what happens when Sawyer is not ready for a relationship? I enjoyed reading it! I like Emmy - her determination, her love for her mom, and her unwillingness to settle for less than what she deserves. Sawyer is oblivious, and it is half-funny, half frustrating. I love how easy they go back to friendship, and how smooth the transition was - until Sawyer decided to screw it up (lol). But he did redeem himself at the end, and boy, he was good. Sometimes, you look for love in far away places and you rarely notice that it is just right there beside you. I am just glad Sawyer finally noticed it before it was gone. Yay! Soulmate is fun, sweet, sexy and undeniably good. I can't wait for Dante's story!!!!
