I am so glad Emily finally got the balls to go after him! Gavin treated her like a queen. And of course their loving romance would be ruined by Dillion wanting rights to the baby. I didn't like this part of the story. I'm pretty sure the laws wouldn't have gone for this agreement either. But it ended well for our friends Emily and Gavin.

Olaylar klişeydi ama yine de arada nabzı arttıran sahneler vardı. Ayrıca Gavin o kadar sevilesi ki onu okumaktan bıkmıyor insan. Fakat son 30 sayfa gereksiz uzun ve sıkıcıydı. Gerçekten olmasa da olurdu bana göre ve atlayarak okudum bazı yerleri. Hele final klişenin dibiydi. Spoiler olmasın diye yazamıyorum ama gerçekten bu tarz sonlardan usandım. 4 yıldız verecektim ama zaten tekdüzeydi bir de sonu öyle olunca 3'e indirdim.

This book reminded me of the very reason I switched from M/F to M/M romances. The sheet amount of romantic mush in this book was just too much. Gavin is so in love with Emily, he spews romantic garble at every turn. Well, they both do really. That is pretty much the entire book. They saying how much they love each other, can't live without each other, blah, blah. It was a bit too much and it's hard for me to believe that two years ago that would have made this a favorite book for me.

I just don’t know why this book was written. The whole story could’ve been resolved in an epilogue in the first book...
Regardless, Pulse was okay. It was entertaining and funny and times, it definitely didn’t seem like a necessity.

Wow! This series hits straight to your heart! It's a rocky road where Emily is dealing with domestic abuse but eventually with the help of Gavin who's totally swoon worthy and her friends she manages to move past it and into happiness. There are so many moments in this book that evoke emotions. From happiness to sadness, to nervousness, and even love. I completely fell in love with the characters, especially Gavin. He's the epitome of what every girl wants in a man. He's smart, loving, caring, compassionate, but also has a backbone. He loves Emily with everything he is and that's what makes this book so amazing. Bone Deep Love that you can't get past. To say I loved this series is an understatement!
This series should be made into a movie. It's real and deals with an issue that is still prevalent in relationships today. Domestic Abuse!

Goodreads Summary
How do you keep existing when your heart is so splintered, so completely torn to shreds, your pulse is fading?
You’re… broken. How do you move forward when every breath is nothing more than a constant ache? Living becomes an insidious reminder that you threw away the single largest part of yourself. Your… soul. No amount of distraction can pull you from the torture of losing your… life.
Now that Emily Cooper has walked away from her first love, she finds herself running toward her only love. Unraveling fast, but clinging to hope, Emily risks all she has left on the man that has consumed her every thought and dream since the day they met. Will Gavin take her back? And if so, will their reunion be a collision of two hearts destined to complete one another and rekindle a love that knew no boundaries? Or will scars from their past rip open, tearing slowly at what each of them was meant to be? Can fate, the ultimate game changer, mend the shattered road it laid out from the start?
Only time will tell…

My Review
This book was very different from the first one, mostly because Emily was solidly with Gavin for most of the story. It was a bit rocky for them in the beginning, but they eventually work things out early in this book.
Emily and Gavin have a great relationship. The last book had a bit of insta-love between them, but in this novel you could really see their relationship build and you could see why they love each other, which is always very important for me to be able to see with couples in stories. They communicated very well with each other, which was refreshing (and different from the last book, where they had a lot of miscommunications which caused a lot of problems).
Overall, there wasn't much story, but I enjoyed it all the same. The main conflict wasn't between Emily and Gavin, so their relationship were the highlight of the book for me.
Also, there's a moment towards the end that was brilliant. I almost started crying! You'll know when you get to it :)
Overall
A good ending to the series, Pulse is a great read that you'll enjoy if you liked the first book in the series.
