Distraction

Distraction is Dylan and Sarah's story and was a book that was a long time in coming, not only for us the readers, but for Ms. Edwards, who has made no secret of the fact that she suffers from depression. This was one of my most anticipated reads for 2017 and I was not disappointed.

Having read Distraction in virtually one read, I can understand how much this book could and would have impacted Ms. Edwards and the writing process. This book confronts issues of depression, alcoholism, guilt and fear, that many of us have had to deal with in real life from both sides of the fence and was at times difficult for me to read. Having said that, the subject matter was handled with integrity and although at times the rawness and the grittiness of the emotion and pain had me in tears, it was extremely well written; the layers that Ms. Edwards built throughout this book, were slowly peeled away, just like an onion, allowing love to blossom for Dylan and Sarah. This book got to me and touched me deeply on so many levels; it was an emotional and riveting read, a roller-coaster of a ride.

Of course being a Nicole Edwards book the chemistry between Dylan and Sarah was off the charts and it most certainly led to some steamy scenes, throw in some BDSM and I was always going to be hooked. However for me, this book primarily was a true love story, of overcoming fears, of acceptance, not only of others but of ourselves and with hard work and determination how a person can triumph.

Distraction is the final book in Nicole Edwards Club Destiny series, a series that holds a special place in my heart. Conviction, book one in the series, was my introduction to Nicole Edwards and her wonderful writing. Not only did I find books and characters that I fell in love with, but I found a whole group of sisters. We may not be blood related but we are sisters, in fact several off us from across three continents all got a Celtic sisterhood tattoo and I hold Nicole Edwards responsible for this, as we all met in her original Nicole Nation group. They are my inked sisters and I will always be grateful to Nicole Edwards for bringing us together.

Well done Nicole Edwards, what a fitting conclusion to one of my favourite series.

I love this series and will miss it so much. Dylan and Sarah's story is just gorgeous, and I can totally understand why it would have been a hard one to write.
These two have suffered so much in their lives with the unexpected and painful loss of their loved other halves, so it was great to see them working out their issues and finding comfort and new love with each other.

Dylan was the story I have been waiting for and Nicole Edwards has given me just what I wanted an in depth story that wasn't rushed, it was written brilliantly and with compassion. This book deals with what life is all about when you are battling depression, it covers all the issues that Dylan and Sarah faced when trying to move on with their life's. They need a Distraction to move forward with their life and this book is not just a story it's an emotional journey, I laughed, I cried, but there was no way I was putting it down before I read the final line. Nicole Edwards has once again given us a fantastic read, Club Destiny may be finished but I'm looking forward to maybe a spin off series
