Review Quotes
“Give Me Reason is a story full of heart, pain, doubt and learning to trust again. This story is about a woman who doesn't immediately run off with the man who offers her the world. She has seen the ugly in the world and trusting someone again isn't a price she is willing to pay."
★★★★★, Emily, TheSUBCLUBbooks

“Vivienne and Mikah's story is intense, captivating and unforgettable. Their story is honest and gritty.”
Brooke @ Brooke Blogs

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/410704?ref=Jamers8x2“This book will elicit a lot of emotional reactions while reading, you may want to buckle up, cause it's quite a ride. A ride that leaves you scatter brained, your heart aching, pounding, trying to catch your breath, and trying to figure out WTH is going to happen next???? The writing is brilliant and it flows wonderfully. There is an unexpected current running throughout the story, it simmers just below the surface. It will draw you in, and make you quirk your eyebrow.”
Angie - FanGirl Book Blog ★★★★★ Review


“Zoey Derrick had me within the first two pages. Her characters are alive and completely relateable, likeable and down-right loveable. I empathize, I cheer, I fear, I love with them. It takes a good solid book with a solid story and direction to get a hold of me, not that it matters, so to me for this book to grab right out the gate like this, AMAZING!”
Barb - ★★★★★ Amazon Review

“I love stories with angels in them and when you get Mikah and Vivienne together it is heavenly.”

Review
This series was awesome!  Gotta love a story that has romance, danger, action, and downright craziness in it.  It took a while to finish the story, as it was four books, but anticipation is a good thing, right?  Especially with the way book three ended!  The last book was totally worth the wait.  The love that was building throughout the first three books, was finally expressed in this last book with several really hot scenes.  I love the way it ended!  It answered all of my questions with the exception of one.  Since the story ends two years down the road, I imagine there won't be more.  Though it would be interesting to see more, like maybe 15-20 years down the road.  Zoey writes characters that are just so loveable.  The reader yearns to know what happened to them.

Review of Give Me Desire by Zoey Derrick


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HLNRWBE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00HLNRWBE&linkCode=as2&tag=yohameatfrbo-20
Blurb
VIVIENNE CALLAHAN, discharged from the hospital after surviving a near-fatal attack from Riley, her abusive ex-boyfriend, has come to the safety of Mikah’s protection. As she continues to heal physically and mentally from her ordeal, she begins to have strange dreams...dreams that follow her into waking life and hint at a fate she never could’ve foreseen and dangers far greater than Riley.

Meanwhile, MIKAH BLAKE has some ideas about her future, too, and the more she considers his proposals, the weaker her resistance to him becomes. His recent actions have taught her to respect and trust him, but soon her feelings for him threaten to deepen into something more, something she may not be ready for.

In the third book of the Reason series, Vivienne will discover who and what she and the people around her really are.

Review
I love Zoey Derrick's writing! This book was great! Only way it could've been better would be if she hadn't cut off in the middle of what they were doing, lol. Nice cliffhanger Zoey! This book was better than the other two, we learn more about Viv and Micah and their relationship grows. I about cried at one point. If you read my reviews often enough, you may have noticed that emotional connection to the characters goes a long way to earning a 5 Star Review from me, and Zoey has that. By book 3, the reader is definitely attached to the characters and cares about what's going on with them. Even the background characters to an extent. I can't wait to read the next one. This book barely even touched on what was going on with Nyssa, and that was in the end of the last book for the most part, so I can only imagine how crazy the next book will be. I can't wait! I'm glad I'm already signed up to review the next one, cuz I'm going to read it as soon as I get it!

Excerpt
"Alright." I sigh. "When are you coming home?"
"Do you miss me?"
"Yes."
I hear his sharp intake of breath at my words.
"Why does that surprise you?" I ask.
"Because. I miss you, too."
I smile.
"I will be home tomorrow, hopefully in the morning. Viv, I wanted to ask you something else."
"What's that?"
"Tomorrow night there is a charity gala that I'm supposed to attend. I'd like it if you would be my date."
"Uh..." I'm taken aback by his question, surprised that he would want to take me to something like that. "Mikah, I've never been to anything like that before." I pull my feet up, cross my legs and lean back into the couch. I place my hand on my belly and begin rubbing it.
"I know, but it's really no big thing. We go, have dinner, there is an auction, and dinner is followed by a dance. It's a stuffed shirt, black tie kind of thing. I am not a fan of going to them, but this one is for an important charity that I've been a part of since its inception, so it is really important that I be there. I just don't want to go without you."
I'm pondering his words as I continue to stroke my belly. "I have nothing to wear," I say, and he chuckles.
"Does that mean you'll go?"
I roll my eyes at his enthusiasm. "Yes, Mikah, I'll go."
"Yes! Okay, I will have Celeste make some arrangements for you to have a nice, relaxing day tomorrow, get your hair done, be pampered a little. And when you guys go out today, you can find yourself a dress." The excitement in his voice is infectious, and I can't help but smile.

Review for Give Me Hope by Zoey Derrick


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GNFKEXY/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00GNFKEXY&linkCode=as2&tag=yohameatfrbo-20Blurb
An Angel is he...

From the first moment he saw her, Mikah Blake was seized by an inexplicable need to protect Vivienne Callahan, a fragile but fiery young woman who’s awakened a slumbering power within him. With his encouragement, Vivienne has begun to turn her life around, and things seem to be heading in the direction of a slow but certain happily-ever-after. But that happy ending is side tracked by a rising evil that is determined to destroy her.

When her dark past comes back to claim her, Mikah is caught in a whirlwind of events that lead him down a path he was born into but never understood. Until now.

Can Mikah save Vivienne? Will his love be enough? Will he be able to control his angelic powers and use them to protect his newfound love?


Review
I was given the first and second books of this series for the tour, and while I think the two books may have been better as one, I really loved the story.  Make sure that you buy both Give Me Reason & Give Me HopeGive Me Reason ends with one hell of a cliffhanger, so you'll want to start Give Me Hope immediately!  Give Me Hope ends in a pretty good spot, but if you read the teaser from the next book...well I wouldn't recommend reading the teaser, lol.  I had more questions after reading that short little bit than I did when the book ended!  The next book doesn't come out until the end of December, so I will be so confused by the last sentence until I can read the next book, lol.  I can only hope that the author will let me review the next book as well.
