Shane Morgan

This was a very good YA contemporary read! I love books about music and songwriters but wish this book had a CD companion like some of the other musical books I've read. Being able to hear the melodies of the songs really enhances the reading experience. I really liked the characters and thought the romance between Aurora and Daegan was totally swoon worthy. It was a pretty emotional read at times and hard to put down. I hope there is a sequel because the story ended too soon for me. I also must say that I really liked the writing style and will be checking out other books by this author in the near future.

I could not put Impossibly Love down, and I read it completely in one sitting. Man, the story line hit close to home with the understanding of Moya’s past. I guess it is why I found it so hard to put the book down.
When I met my husband, I was guarded, lost, and closed off to the world. I know how hard it is when you have been hurt over and over again. I love how Shane captured the hurt, feelings, and brought it into the book.
Branden’s stubbornness, I guess you can say, is what brought light to the book. I loved the way his story told it from his point of view, and the way he thought things through. He didn’t have to be the bad guy to get her attention, or want to take Moya immediately to his room. He wanted to get to know her, know about her, and it definitely gave the book a rounded aspect.
Branden’s secret will have you either biting your tongue to hold back tears, or needing the tissues beside you as you read deeper into the book.
Impossibly Love is rated G, it is definitely a sweet clean romance, and I completely enjoyed it.… (mehr)

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Impossibly Love is a feel-good, sweet New Adult contemporary romance that will make you laugh and cry. It's a fast-paced read that drew me in from the first chapter. Ms. Morgan created two very likeable characters, both broken by events in their lives; one determined to avoid love at all costs, and one wanting love desperately, but afraid of rejection.

Moya is hurting emotionally, having been abandoned by her father when she was a child. She refuses to open up to any male, fearing they will hurt her as well. She's attracted to Branden but terrified of him at the same time since he threatens to topple the carefully constructed wall she's built around herself.

Branden has been hurt by love. His story is a bit more tragic than Moya's, and my heart just went out to him. When he falls for Moya, he realizes he must reveal his secret to her, but he's afraid since his last girlfriend dumped him when she found out.

The story alternated between Moya's and Branden's point of view. I enjoyed the interactions between them, though at times I wanted to scream in frustration. They're both so afraid of being hurt, it's a wonder they even manage talking to each other. The story ends on a positive note, something I worried about as the story progressed. If anyone deserves to find comfort in each other, it's Branden and Moya.

I recommend Impossibly Love to everyone high school and up that enjoys a sweet romance. It's also a clean romance, limited to kissing and the mildest of bad language.… (mehr)
