Passion (Secrets in L.A.)

There are moments in our lives that can change the course we’re on.
I believe when faced with those moments, we should take the unknown path. The risk. The excitement, the opportunity, the love . . .
The night I stumbled into a burlesque club in downtown Los Angeles, I took one of those paths and changed my life.
I found a home I’d never had with my own parents.
I found a confidence I’d never known as a prima ballerina.
I found my passion.
And it inadvertently led me back to the one moment I’d let slip away—to him.
To a love so pure and whole and carnal, I thought it could withstand anything.
But I’m not the only one with secrets.
And now, all those chosen paths are crumbling around me.

Y’all. I don’t know why I even pretend to be shocked with every new Molly book, but this one got me too, like they all do. I’m not as broken as I was when I finished Nightshade or Fire, but still broken to an extent.
I’m 100% sure that if Kieran and Beau had a secret love child, it would be Adam. He’s broody and silent, terrifying and protective as ever. Where does that leave Hollis? I’d say she’s an entirely different soul than Molly’s other heroines, but at the same time she’s so similar. It’s definitely hard to describe how I feel about Hollis, when I can so easily explain Adam and I think that’s possibly because I made the connection to Kieran, Beau and Adam so quickly.
Hollis and Adam, the love they have for one another? It’s definitely a one of a kind, instant love and I love them together. This whole book had me swooning, followed by laughing, followed by anger and back to swooning. I was so consumed by the first page that I knew I would be in trouble the more I got sucked into it and I was.. I started Passion around midnight on September 1st and finished around 3am on the 5th, if I weren’t working two jobs I likely would have finished on the 3rd and that’s stretching it.
Though I loved reading everything to do with Adam and Hollis, it was Stevie, Mia and Ariana that truly made the story one to be sucked into. Stevie especially, she’s so funny that I couldn’t help but bust out laughing every time she said something about protecting her friends, due to the way she would aggressively fight for them, it makes me sad that Stevie wont have her own book, but at least we’ll see her in Love and Fame.

Molly grew up in California but now lives in the oh-so-amazing state of Texas with her husband, daughter, and fur baby. 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 with her hubby and dishing out movie quotes. She has a weakness for crude-humored movies and fried pickles, and loves curling up in a fluffy comforter during a thunderstorm … or under one in a bathtub if there are tornado’s. That way she can pretend they aren’t really happening.
