Posted May 16, 2017 by Stephanie in Giveaway, Promotional, Reviews / 0 Comments

Title: For Love or Freedom
Author: Lili Mahoney
Genre: Contemporary
Cover Designer: LJ Designs
Release Date: May 15, 2017 

Tatum hasn’t had it easy. Her life has been a series of battles, but that hasn’t stopped her from finding and hanging onto what she wants and loves. She’s come a long way from the small farm in Texas she was born on – she’s earned her own way through college on diving scholarships, then moved to begin her career as an elite swim team coach, and is doing her best to survive her life as a widow and single mom.

When Nic Lobo literally steals her away from the life she’s fought to keep together, the most basic of responses is to hate him with every fiber of her being. His quick temper and random absences make that easy. So is the fact that she’s still in love with her dead husband, though she’s also very angry at him for the way in which he left her. But Nic is stubborn and committed, and he has the uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she’s never had before, not even with the father of her child. He forces Tatum to respond to him the only way he knows how and that terrifies her in so many ways.

Will she fight him to the death, refusing to forgive him for the harm he’s caused, or will he wear her down until she acknowledges the connection their souls won’t allow to be severed.

 

REVIEW:

*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

**Carla’s One Star Review

**Warning-this book is not for everyone.

After losing her husband, Tatum is just trying to make it through each day and be there for her young daughter, Tulsie. Tatum is an incredible woman who possesses the inner strength of a warrior. I loved how she always put her daughter first in every situation. And Tulsie? Well, she was the star of the book. She is incredibly funny and definitely has her mother’s courage and strength.

While this book contains a lot of drama and intrigue, I really didn’t enjoy the story line that much. At times, it was downright difficult to read, and I can’t even count how many times I cringed while reading it. My main issue was with the male lead, Nic. I just couldn’t understand how he claimed to care so much for Tatum but had her and Tulsie kidnapped and subjected to absolute terror. That is certainly not my idea of love. My advice for you is to read the synopsis for the book and decide if this is a story you might enjoy. Unfortunately, it missed the mark for me.
