GLOW

A stand-alone romance novel in the Brewed Series

I’m the only Dixon brother to step up when our family crumbled.
When I took over the ranch, I lost everything, career included.
My heart hadn’t been in it anyway. It couldn’t. A girl left with it over a dozen years ago.

Now she’s back.
Different hair. New style. Kid clutching her hand.
Not a trace of the Madison Black I knew. A down-home girl with the sweetest smile and drawl. The rebel with a spirit that glowed so bright.

But with one conversation, that girl starts to reappear.
One kiss, the years apart fade away.
One night, I vow to never let her go again.

But some pasts refuse to stay buried. And when the heart-wrenching truth behind her leaving is revealed, it might ruin us all.

About Molly McAdams

MollyMcAdams

Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband, daughter, and fur babies. When she’s not diving into the world of her characters, some of her hobbies include hiking, snowboarding, traveling, and long walks on the beach . . . which roughly translates to being a homebody and dishing out movie quotes with her hubby. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and loves curling up in a fluffy blanket during a thunderstorm . . . or under one in a bathtub if there are tornados. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening.

Book Review (10) Oh my heart…. My poor, poor heart!!

About Glow:

Glow is the third book in the Brewed series by Molly McAdams. Glow can be read as a standalone. But trust me, from experience, I feel this may be a series to read in order. I feel like I missed out on so much with the secondary characters. There is no doubt I’ll be picking up the first two books sometime soon!

Hunter Dixon is what I would refer to as the leader of the brothers. He stepped up to the plate after his father passed away and he brought Dixon Farms back to a profitable state. But that’s just an exterior glimpse of the man. Deep inside this man is crumbling. You see, thirteen years ago the love of his life left him with nothing but a cloud of dust and a few lies for why she couldn’t stay. Now, after waiting thirteen years for his future to walk back into his life, he’s finally decided to open his heart once again.

Madison Black left her life behind in a whirlwind thirteen years ago, and only she knows the truth behind why she left. Now she’s back in her sleepy hometown newly separated from her husband and looking to turn the page to the next chapter of her life with her beautiful five year old daughter Avalee. But being back home isn’t all rainbows and sunshine. Being back home means coming face to face with her past and all that she could have had.. Being back home means being near Hunter Dixon, her soulmate and her one true love.

She’s about to learn a cold hard truth. Maybe some pages are best left unturned…. or are they?!

My Thoughts:

Molly McAdams is well known for writing sob worthy and ugly cry novels. In fact, I’ve found myself going through my own meltdowns a time or two while reading one of her novels.. And I loved every single moment of the meltdowns. So after reading the blurb for Glow, I knew this was going to be another angsty story with the potential for an ugly cry moment… I can say with one hundred percent honesty, I did not cry! Ah, I finally made it through a Molly Mcadams novel without shedding tears. Although, there were a few times I felt my eyes getting misty… I held those bitches in and I’m quite proud of myself!!

I haven’t felt this much pain, while reading, in the longest time. My heart couldn’t keep up with all the angst and turmoil. I may not have cried physically, but if it’s possible for a soul to break and sob like a baby, that would be mine sitting over in the corner rocking back and forth simply because this novel is a mind trip. With all honesty, I really enjoy love triangles *only while reading* because of all the drama that is typically promised. I love the emotional turmoil the middle tends to put themselves through. I love the raw emotion and the heartbreak and the not knowing who the middle point is going to choose. It’s an endless array of what ifs and WTF’s that keeps me coming back for more. So just to warn those that cannot stand love triangles….. Yep, this is that kind of romance.

My brain was telling me to put the book down, you need sleep. My heart, however, was yelling just one more page! I stayed up all night reading Madison and Hunter’s emotional journey. These two have gone through it all, felt it all, and they came out of it as stronger individuals. There were a few touch and go moments, you know the ones i’m talking about, where you clutch your chest and hope this author isn’t going to wreck your whole world.

Bottom line, I was invested. I loved Madison for her strength and her courage, I loved her for being the best mom she could possibly be for Avalee, and I loved her for putting her wishes and dreams aside to protect those she loved most. Granted, I didn’t see what she did at the time and I was cursing her the whole damn time when she exposed her secrets… but now thinking on it, she did what she did to protect those she loved. She sacrificed her own happiness and the future that was so bright at the time…. She’s selfless.

Now, I respected Hunter for his decisions and for always being honest with his best friend about Madison. I respect him for telling her Madison is still and will always be his future. I respect him…. Even if I didn’t like him at that time… But through the flashbacks, my heart hurt for him, and all my negative notions about him were cast easily to the side. This man went through hell, there is nothing worse than being at war with your feelings.

My love for second chances and for Hunter and Madison’s past and future continued to grow with each page I turned.

Overall, I loved this story for the raw truth. Life is hard, and at times it sucks. But decisions are meant to be made and life lessons are what evolves from our choices. This story was raw and painful. But you have to fight the storm in order to see the rainbow. I highly recommend Glow to all those who love angsty ugly cry reads.
