Silence is not always golden

I have read all of Aly’s latest novels with hunger and having finished them, I thought I would go back and read some of her earlier works. Cricky what a revelation. This trilogy is absolutely mind blowing. It is as ever well written. It has some very serious subjects, both physical and psychological. We have three brothers of various ages, being basically brought up by their eldest brother Till Page. He befriends a girl called Eliza who’s parents are more concerned with arguing than parenting. Eliza finds a bolt hole, and Till discovers Eliza. Doddle. The story unfolds beautifully. It is full of tender emotional scenes, dark passionate scenes and family dynamics. Topics covers are obviously abandonment concerning children, and in this case their coping mechanism. Deafness and genetic impacts, and finally boxing and all the hype, training program and attitudes that ensue. Plus all the sibling interactions. So very well written, descriptive and absorbing a book and trilogy and m sure will not disappoint. 5 stars is most definitely not enough

One of the best books I've read in ages
I'll be recommending this one fosure
It's about a couple that meet as children and both desire each other but he does his best to not act on the feeling's as he thinks she'd have a better life without him...his jealousy seeing her with another man was cute, I'd love to have a man fight for me this way!
He has a passion for boxing that starts as a distraction, to training for a career to provide for his brother's that he has become guardian of.
The characters were so loveable I cried & laughed...not to mention the sex scenes were really...well great.
It's beautifully written, alongside the story there is a health issue that is depicted so well & the affects on everyone in the family.
...I'll be looking out for more of the authors work!

Doing a re-read of this series after reading the Wrecked and Ruined books.
I liked this book a lot more than I did the first time round. I understood Till's worries and motivations more this time instead of being annoyed with his mood changes and sometimes immature behaviour.

Him and Eliza were sweet, I enjoyed seeing them developed from 13 year-olds to adults while navigating growing up and the changes in their relationship. I loved young Flint and little Quarry and also reading moments with Slate and Leo now that I've read their books and know their stories.

FOUR PAGE BROTHERS STARS

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 22 janvier 2016

Have I found a new author to claim as a favourite? I think that is what has just happened right here. Aly Martinez has got me wrapped up in her writing and I may have just experienced the crazy feelings that go alongside a monumental book hangover. Why you may ask? It's all down to this authors gorgeous writing talent and it has to be said that this book right here is phenomenal.

What's it all about?
This is the first book in the 'on the rope' series and it sets the stage for the Page brothers to make their debut into our reading hearts. Till page is the eldest of the three brothers and to call him a born survivor is an understatement. These brothers face hardship and difficulties and with a heart breaking past and tragic circumstances following their every move they have to fight hard to find their happiness. This book takes the reader on the unmistakable journey of finding hope and love. Aly Martinez takes the tried and tested method of a friends to lovers theme but there's nothing unoriginal here. Follow the story of Till Page and the love of his life and best friend Eliza Reynolds and hold on to your seats for a love story that is memorable to say the least.

What did I love?
Those who know me will be able to tell you that my favourite of all tropes to read in the romance reading world is the friends to lovers story. I love the angst, the anticipation and the feeling of desperation for the perfect twosome to finally realise that they can't live without falling in love with each other. So it comes with no surprise that I fell hard in love with this story. Aly Martinez takes this trope and makes it her own, it's so much more than friends falling in love. This, my fellow readers is about soul mates finding their match. If I was to choose an author for a weepy, soul searching story I would always navigate towards Martinez, this author has a way of delivering the emotions but making sure her readers are rewarded with a heart pounding romance and love that is nothing short of epic.

Why not five?
Aly Martinez is new to me as an author and to say I'm impressed would be an understatement. If this book is anything to go by then you can be rest assured that I won't be missing out on future releases. This book was definitely a weeper, it was packed full of hardships and difficulties and whilst I was impressed with the quality of story telling I did at times feel like I wanted more peaceful story telling of the characters lives. The beginning had me hooked, but as the story developed I found myself a little on the distracted side. But these are only small niggles, I loved this authors voice and I'm more than ready to grab ahold of book two in the series. A solid four star rating for a book that was beautifully and thoughtfully put together.

Final thoughts ...
A fantastic start to a series that is sure to capture the hearts of the reading community. I can't wait for more in the series to come and I'm glad that I listened to the voice of my fellow romance addicts and gave this book a try. Well worthy of your time and money spent, don't miss out on this gorgeous love story. You won't regret it for a minute. Enjoy ...

Fighting Silence (On the Ropes #1) by Aly Martinez
4.5 stars!!!

“I had already been drowning in the ocean of life. Every gasp of air was a struggle. Just as I would breach the surface, filling my lungs with hope and determination to make it through another day, I was forced back under – harder every time.”

I have to admit this is my first read by Aly Martinez but I can easily say it will not be my last. I am a sucker for friends to lover’s stories and this book was no different. From the time that we were introduced to these two you could tell that they had a unique bond, a bond that was the forever kind, no words were necessary, actions always spoke loudest.

This book was real, life is a real battle sometimes and this shone through Aly’s words, the fight to stay together, the fight to remain together as a family and the fight in the ring are one of the same. The fight to be “normal,” the fight to be accepted, the fight to live and the fight to love and be loved, everything is a battle but battles are meant to be won and by the time I had finished this book, my heart felt it had survived a huge one.

This was such a beautiful story that will have you empathising, sympathising and most importantly swooning. Neither character was perfect, neither came from a good background but the common denominator with these two was that they did not let it define them, they found their outlets, their safe places and for these two it always boiled down to the same thing, each other.

Eliza used to escape her home life, she found a dilapidated house that was marked for demolition, but she used it as her escape, her fortress, a place that she could be alone and do what she wanted. Her parents never noticed her missing, nor seemingly cared which for a thirteen year old was hard to stomach. But she loved her haven and spent as much time as she could there. One night Till climbed through one of her windows and from that day on a friendship was born. At first words were not spoken, both were content with the companionable silence, but slowly but surely, they communicated, they trusted each other and both look forward to and cherished each other’s company.

“No more windows. No more pretending.”

Till was struggling, his father was off the scene and his mother was a feeble excuse for a parent, so it was left to him to bring up his brothers and for a thirteen year old, that was no easy task. Some days he just needed to get away and he found solace in Eliza, these two needed each other.

As they get older life changes and as Eliza goes off to college Till panics about being left behind. He is scared of losing his soul mate, the one person he could always rely on, the only person that was there for him when he needed, one night before Eliza departs they finally cross that line and give themselves to each other completely, but for Till it was bitter sweet…it meant the end.

“…because one thrust later – without the use of hands – I claimed Eliza Reynolds final first. And every. Single. One. Of her lasts.”

With any friendship that was born from a solid foundation such as theirs you know that these two were destined to be. Their lives may have taken different paths but sometimes life has a way of making those paths cross once again, maybe being older and wiser is what these two needed, but when their paths finally intersect once again, you could tell that the spark was still there and I for one was begging them to give in and see where this relationship took them. Olive branches had to be delivered, forgiveness had to happen but once these two get back on the right track, love took over and that is what I loved about this book and this is where the story really begins.

“I fell in love with a man whose fantasy is crawling through my window to escape reality. All the while, my fantasy is walking out that door to navigate reality by his side.”

Till and Eliza were such strong characters in their own right, both could be stubborn at times but they bought out the best in each other. They were each other’s foundations and their anchor. Till was trying to do everything himself, he wanted to prove that he could be that person for his brothers, but money and work were necessary problems that needed to be overcome and it took a lot for him to finally accept Eliza’s help. The relationship that Eliza had with the brothers was fantastic, I could picture this family unit in my head, they were loyal to each other and looked out for each other, every one of them had their part to play which only lead to a happy, cohesive family unit.

“You’re not hungry for more in life. You’re effing starving.”

I cannot express how much I loved this book, the writing style and the plot lines had me hooked from start to finish and I just didn’t want it to end. The character connection was perfect, the emotion was there in spades, and it was powerful and raw. This book took over my life for those few hours and those boys have wormed their way into my heart and my head. I cannot wait for Flint’s story and I just know that it is going to be even more emotional that this one. I don’t know if my heart could take it. I loved this dude, so I will be eagerly anticipating the next instalment.

“And I am unquestionably serious about spending the rest of my life with you.”

Epic read

I got a copy of this in a #RomanceReaders book box and I'm so glad I signed up for this one.

A love built from a chance encounter, over years of a 'secret' friendship. Fantasy vs Reality.

Honestly this is going down as a favourite. Hope we see more of Quarry and Flint and how they overcome the tragedy they all suffered. The pictures for the characters in the paperback were a beautiful touch too.

Can't recommend this novel enough!

Commenté au Royaume-Uni le 26 juillet 2015

God! I loved this book so, so much!

Eliza and Till found each other one day when they were just thirteen and, from that day, they became great friends, meeting up every single day in a condemned apartment building. Both lived less than ideal lives, especially Till, who had two younger brothers, Flint and Quarry, depending on him.

As the years passed, both grew to love one another but Till was afraid to let go of their fantasy apartment life. He was really scared to lose Eliza as his friend; as his one thing in the world that was right. She was his home.

This was such a fantastic, heartfelt, and emotional story! Eliza and Till are two worthy characters. Both had grit, integrity, and a strength to survive in the face of adversity…as long as they had each other. Till is hugely noble, wanting Eliza to have a better life, and wanting to provide for his brothers. He works like a dog to provide a roof over their heads and food on the table, whilst training to be boxer, at the same time. Eliza is just the same and pushes Till to get real and have a proper relationship with her. She is nurturing, caring and loyal.

I can’t recommend this novel enough! It was full of fear, excitement, desperation, and love. The love between Eliza and Till is unchanging, solid, and worth fighting for. It’s forever.
