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.

This is the beautiful, emotional and raw conclusion to Adam and Mila’s story (must be read after book 1 Tempt Me).
Going into this book, after the cliff-hanger from book 1, I was already filled with many thoughts and feelings. This book did not let you enter easily and started off with a bang pulling so many different emotions out of you at once. Even though it was filled with angst, I needed to know what would happen next and made it easy to turn the page and difficult to put down.
It was heartbreaking to read about the trauma and struggles both Adam and Mila experienced individually, along with how they go about dealing with it. They both need time to work though everything-but never stop caring, loving or support each other. Their bond is so special, and you wish for nothing short of the best for them.

My love for Mila carried over even more from the first book, she is an unbelievably strong person, and will not shy away from what is right and what needs to be done to help other even if it scares her. I can not say enough amazing things about her!

These authors created characters that as a reader you easily become invested in their past, present and future, even if it is difficult to read at times. It is so wonderful to see the realism in not only the main characters and themes, but the supporting characters as well- they are all dealing with their own battles but provide much needed support and comfort for Adam and Mila.

Overall, this was a wonderfully heartbreaking and empowering story that shows you no matter what happens in your life there will always be people and places there for you when ready. It is a true story about finding support and love in those around you and a belief and trust in not only them, but yourself in order to heal and find HEA.

“We’ll always be two broken people who found each other through the darkest of times. Two people who helped each other heal, and for that, I will be forever grateful.”

One of my favorite duets!! This story was beautifully written. What Mila & Adam go through was heartbreaking but it was written so well. Mila is such a strong beautiful women and I love her so much. When she accepts the support around her and really does grow and it was honest. Her story will connect with so many readers out there.
Adam,man he also went through it at well and I’m happy the way his story was written. I love how Claire Raye writes their heroes,it’s a breath of fresh air.

If you are considering reading this Duet please don’t hesitate!!

This one hurt, but it was so worth it in the end. If you haven’t picked up this emotional, angsty, painful but oh so beautiful new adult duet from the Hawthorne Hills series, you should. It’s all the angst and steam, and twice the feels.

Such a beautiful ending to Adam and Mila's story after that cliffhanger that Claire Raye left us in the first book. It is so gritty, emotional, heartbreaking and healing. It's another one of Claire Raye's best works. If you've read any of their books, then you'll know that there are going to be hard topics discussed in the story. This story was beautifully written. You felt it straight to your bones every emotion Mila & Adam go through.

You don't want to miss this duet!

What a powerful read! Claire Raye does not shy away from hard topics and they do it in such a beautiful way that connects you to these characters. Adam and Mila are two broken people who slowly start to heal with each other and it’s such a raw journey that they take together. There were so many tears as you watched them try to heal from their pasts and move forward. The love these two have for each other bleeds through the page and their story so wonderfully written, that you can’t help but want their story to never end!
