REVIEW ➞ Trust Me by Claire Raye

BLURB ➞

Trust Me is book two in Adam and Mila’s duet and book six in the Hawthorn Hills Duet Series. A two-part, angst-filled, secret past love story. Tempt Me must be read before Trust Me in order to enjoy the full story.

Life at its hardest requires trust.

Adam Cooper ran without explanation, right when she needed him most. But she doesn’t know the true depth of his scars. 

Mila Collins is everything to him, but she can’t understand the past that still haunts him. And he has no idea about the secrets she’s hiding.

Consumed by their own secrets and fears, they’re about to discover just how much they need each other.

But in order to do that, they’re going to need to learn how to trust.

The Hawthorn Hills Duet Series follows eight couples. Each two-book duet must be read in order to enjoy the couple’s full story, but the series can be read in any order. You’ll find angst-filled, slow-burn, epic love stories along with topical storylines and some amazingly real and raw characters.


We are connected by our unconnected pasts, needing each other to heal.


ARC REVIEW ➞

I DEVOURED this book. The moment I started reading I couldn’t put it down, I couldn’t get enough of Adam and Mila and I had to know what was going to happen next after the ending of Tempt Me.

Trust Me was an emotional and raw story from start to finish. This book completely GUTTED me. My heart broke for both Adam and Mila. They have each suffered so much loss and trauma, yet somehow found each other and healed each other. Their story is raw, it is beautiful, it is emotional and it is real. These two characters and their stories will forever stay with me.

Mila. I love her. I love her strength. Her determination. Her power. She struggled, but she also fought back. She took her trauma and her past and used it to help others, but other’s also helped her along the way.  There just aren’t enough words to describe Mila and her strength.

This story may be difficult for some to read, but it may also help some who are struggling. It’s okay to be broken, it’s okay to struggle, it’s okay to not be okay. Trauma is trauma. Some people may not have experienced the same thing, but they will understand trauma. Never be afraid to ask for help.

If you’re looking for a romance that is so much more and an emotional journey this is one to read.
