Release Blitz w/ Review: ONE CALL AWAY by Emily Goodwin

I’m addicted to Emily Goodwin’s words and One Call Away had me on a reading high. It was tender, steamy and full of raw emotion. The characters were flawed and real, and their story held my attention and had a choke-hold on my heart. Sierra is no stranger to tragedy. She had found someone that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, whom she loved so deeply, and he was taken away from her before their HEA even had a chance to begin. For a long time after, she felt empty and alone. Like she was sinking, being dragged into the deep dark depths of the water, and sometimes she wasn’t so sure she wanted to break free and reach for the surface. Then one day she meets Chase, and slowly things begin to change. Chase never stays in one place too long; no place ever feels like home. He’s never felt the desire to put down roots anywhere- until he meets Sierra. He’s intrigued by her, drawn to her, and he can’t help wanting to get to know her. I loved the build of the relationship between Chase and Sierra. He never pushed her for more than she was comfortable offering and he was always so attentive and sweet. I adored their quiet moments just getting to know each other just as much as I liked their sweaty and steamy moments…which were just that, sweaty, steamy and hot! But I must say that one of my favourite things about them was their shared love of reading and books! When they cuddled up together reading, or just talked books, I thought it was so cute! As they spent more time together, they got to know each other more, learning things about their past and present. But there are a few things about Chase that remained on the down low and it brought a bit of mystery to his character. But how long can he keep those secrets before he must tell Sierra, or she finds out from someone else? And once she knows the truth about everything, what will it mean for them? This has got to be Goodwin’s best book to date! One Call Away is a story of losing love and finding it again, about being lost and finding home. It’s a captivating read and one that has made it into my list of 2017 favourites. If you’re on the lookout for an engaging second-chance romance with all the feels and heat, you’ve found it in One Call Away.
