Unabridged by Melinda De Ross
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Angelina made the painful decision to leave Blade to move to Seattle to pursue her career, she convinced herself it was the best decision for all involved. She did her best to leave her past behind her and threw herself into pursuing her career as a journalist. Years later Angelina’s life is on track, her journalism career is going well, and she loves her job working as a journalist at Unabridged magazine. Imagine her surprise when she walks into work one day and her new boss is her ex-boyfriend, Blade Spencer!

Angelina’s past is brought to light and old feelings resurface. Suddenly she is forced to relive her past and make the difficult decision to reveal her true reasons for leaving Blade. Would Angelina finally tell Blade the real reasons she left him with no warning or explanation? What was so horrible that it would make her leave the love of her life? Would Blade be able to forgive her? Could they put the past behind them and move forward?

I loved this book and found it impossible to put down. I read it from cover to cover in one sitting because I had to find out what would become of Angelina and Blade. The author did an amazing job of drawing the reader into the story. The characters of Angelina and Blade were wonderful, and they were easily relatable. I found myself rooting for them to work things out and just put the past behind them. Many times, I just wanted to reach into the book and give Angelina a shake for being so stupid by leaving a man who was so clearly devoted to her. Other times I felt such compassion for her and could understand why she did what she did. This book was a roller coaster ride of emotions for me as I became wrapped up in the lives of Angelina and Blade. I highly recommend this book!
