When a drunk driver tragically orphans Skylar Rose at the young age of sixteen, she leaves her dreams behind and takes on the daunting task of helping her elderly grandmother raise her young sister. While other girls her age were living a typical carefree life, she was picking up double shifts at a local café and struggling to pay the bills.
Always putting her sister’s needs and school first, Skylar has never had time to date or develop intimate relationships. Now a senior in college, she has her sights set on an amazing internship opportunity. The last thing she needed was for a sexy distraction like Sebastian Thorne to walk into her life.
Sebastian Thorne had been an entitled and reckless nineteen year old when he got behind the wheel of his new sports car that night. When his night of indulgence goes tragically wrong, Sebastian hesitantly turns to the one person, he knows can make everything go away… The one person he hates… his father.
Now twenty-six, Sebastian is the young enigmatic and powerful CEO of his late father’s design company, Thorne Enterprises. With both millions in the bank and a new woman on his arm almost every night, the world never knew the dark secret he carried inside. Still plagued with nightmares from the night of that horrific accident and having to leave the beautiful girl behind, Sebastian vows to find the one that haunts his dreams.
Sometimes the choice of revisiting our past opens the door to a future that we never thought possible.
But what do you do when the person who gave you back your life, was the very one that took it from you in the first place?
Our Review:
4 Stars
The love, the chemistry, the secrets and the heartbreak in this book will have you literally holding your breath.
Skylar Rose has been through a lot in her life. She has experienced more pain than anyone could ever imagine. In a glance she is an extremely beautiful woman who has it together. In reality she is a broken hearted woman who lives solely with the purpose of taking care of her little sister and making sure she has everything she needs.
Sebastian Thorne is a rich, successful playboy. He has money, women and not to mention drop dead gorgeous looks, everything any man would want. There is something in Sebastian however that doesn't let him be happy, a secret, a haunting event from his past he has never been able to let go of.
When the lives of Sebastian and Skylar come together again there is an instant connection. They both feel it but one choses to fight this feeling. A connection that strong however is not easy to resist.
Jealousy, secrets, lust and hate are just a few of the plethora of obstacles between Skylar and Sebastian. The twists in the story will keep you guessing throughout the entire book and when you think that finally everything will be ok BAM your heart breaks and before anything can be resolved you read "the end...for now". A cliffhanger!
I am left heartbroken, curious, angry and yet I want more. The emotional attachment developed with the characters in this book speak volumes of how truly awesome it is. Rose of Thorne is a definite MUST READ. I must warn you though by reading this book you will run the risk of falling completely and hopelessly in love with Sebastian Thorne not that you will mind, trust me.
Character
Interview- Sebastian and Lucas
So I
am sitting down today with Sebastian Thorne from Mia Michelle’s new book Rose
of Thorne. Thank you so much for joining
us today, Sebastian.
Sebastian: Thank
you for having me today.
So,
Sebastian you are well known for your wealthy bachelor lifestyle. You have dated hundreds of different women
over the years. Tell the readers what makes Skylar Rose so special?
Sebastian: Yes, it is true. I have had more than my fair share
of beautiful women over the years. But no one, and I mean NO ONE, can compare
to Skylar. From the moment I laid eyes
on her, I wanted her and only her. However, sometimes what we want isn’t the
right thing. Sometimes we have to tell
ourselves ‘no’ to protect the other person.
I
see. Well, can you elaborate on that
last part? What does she need protecting from? Is she in some sort of danger?
Sebastian: I will never allow her to be in danger of
anyone or anything ever again.When I say that, I am including myself. If there isanyone she needs protecting from,
it is me. I wish I could stay away, but I can’t seem to fight this incredible
magnetic pull between us. It is absolute
torture seeing her everyday knowing that I can never have her.
Why
is that exactly?
Sebastian: She doesn’t really know the real me. No one
does actually. She deserves someone she
can love and trust and I am simply not that man. All I want is for her to be happy, even if
that isn’t with me.
I
understand that Skylar is currently caught the eye of Lucas Drake, CEO/CFO
of Drake Corporation. How exactly are you handling the idea of the
two of them dating?
Sebastian: Yes, I am well aware of Lucas’ interest in
Skylar. He is an alright guy I guess, but Lucas is like me, he has quite the
history of being a ladies man. I am not sure if I like the idea of him using
Skylar that way. So my answer is no, I
definitely don’t think that he is the right man for her.
Lucas: Oh really…and I suppose that you are implying that
you are then? Hello everyone, I
apologize for my lateness. My flight home from New York was delayed because of
the weather.
That
is fine Lucas. Thank you for being able to join us today. As you probably heard, we were just
discussing with Sebastian about your interest in Skylar Rose. Would you care to elaborate on your
relationship with her?
Lucas: Let’s just say that Skylar has my complete and
undivided attention and I plan on keeping it that way.Don’t fucking roll your
eyes up at me, Thorne! I can’t help it
that you let her slip through your fingers. Not that you were any competition
to me to begin with.
Sebastian: Don’t fucking tell me that you have any
serious intentions with her. I know you all
too well my friend. You don’t give a
damn about anyone but pleasing that dick of yours!
Lucas: FUCK YOU!
You have no idea what I feel for her! Besides that, aren’t you a fine one to
talk? If you care so much about her,
then why did I see you leaving Driskill’s the other night with that
blonde? I bet you thought long and hard
about Skylar when blondie was riding your dick! You are one selfish arrogant
son of a bitch, you know it?
Alright
gentlemen, please settle down!! Mr.
Thorne! Mr. Drake! Please sit back
down! We don’t want any violence in
here.
Lucas: I apologize for getting out of line here at the
studio. But Thorne you better back the fuck off or I swear to Christ that I
will take you down! You know I am not afraid of you! Skylar is mine now, not
yours.
Sebastian:
Yours? Give me a fucking
break! You barely know each other and
you act like you are already in love with her. She isn’t yours Drake and she never will be!
Lucas: Really? Then I guess we will just have to see
about that then won’t we?
Sebastian: Yes!! Yes,
we will! And then maybe you will finally
understand that she has and always will be mine.
Lucas: You fucking
asshole! She will NEVER be yours!
Alright
folks, that is all we have time for today.
We appreciate our guests joining us….Wait!
I said NO FIGHTING in here! PLEASE! SECURITY!!!!!
