Radiant

I loved every word of this book!

Radiant was another well written, consuming, and utterly mesmerizing read by Elizabeth Hayley. This continuation of Siobhan and Derick's story was one that I could not put down, and through every word, and every turn of that page, I was pulled in more and more to their intense and all-feeling love story. Told through Elizabeth Hayley's spectacular writing, Radiant was a continuation of everything I fell in love with in the first part of this trilogy. With a love story that I couldn't get enough of, and more twists and turns than you can shake a stick at, Radiant was a fast paced, completely enrapturing story of the tenacity of a love that can't be fought.

This story picks up a month after the last book, with Siobhan living in Detroit after ending things with Derick. From the very first page of this story it is obvious that that connection and feelings those two share is still very much alive, as much as Siobhan might try to fight them. As much as Siobhan might try to fight what she feels for Derick, Derick is not one to forget what they share and is ready to show Siobhan exactly what he'll do to get her back. From the very beginning of this trilogy I could feel the alluring pull of those two, and this second installment heightens all of that tenfold. What Derick and Siobhan share in Radiant is more heated, more sensual, and more real as their feelings deepen, and as they prepare for what comes next for them both.

Filled to the brim with twists and turns, and the most blush inducing heat, Radiant follows Derick and Siobhan as they see what could be, and as they see what might happen if they give it all a go again. Their story definitely isn't easy, but the fight those two have for one another and what they share bursts from every page in a way that will have you feeling it all with them as they give it all a second chance. This second part to their story just invested me more and more in what they were sharing, and the way that Elizabeth Hayley pulled me into these characters and their intense connection had me rooting for them with all that I had.

I think what I loved most about Radiant was the perfect balance it had of being a quick paced read, while also giving me such a depth with these characters. This chapter in Derick and Siobhan's story deepened my understanding and love of them both, and allowed me to see so much more about them, their passions, and why things were the way they were with them. Elizabeth Hayley does a phenomenal job of giving you more with these characters that heightens everything they're sharing, while also keeping the overall pacing of the story itself on fire. It's that outstanding pacing, coupled with the depth of feeling these two share, and their intense connection that combines to make a story you won't soon forget.

Everything I got with these two in this part of their story pulled me into them more, and I can't wait to see what the last chapter brings them. I need more with them like I need my next breath, and Elizabeth Hayley completely brought that out with every fantastic word in Radiant. This second installment in this trilogy continues what Elizabeth Hayley so phenomenally created in Dazzling. Through every sparkling word of this story, I loved and felt everything that Derick and Siobhan shared with one another. Through every emotional twist and turn I was with them, and I truly can't wait to get back with them both.

This was an exceptionally written, all-consuming, and spark filled read!
