Review :

When I read the first books in the “Keep Me Still” series by Caisey Quinn I totally fell in love with her characters. Layla and Landen were just a wonderful couple that was placed in a great storyline. I read all the pieces of that series and I loved each and every one of it.

But I could not help but wonder about Corin and Skylar, their friends – so when I had the chance to grab a review copy I basically had no choice but to wave wildly shouting “here, here I need one”. Yeah reading is really a hard job #joking.
Anyway … “Give Me You” is here now and it features Corins’s and Skylar’s story – FINALLY.
The story runs alongside the original Story of Layla and Landen so we will see their falling for each other all over again form the sidelines – which was pretty funny actually. Because hearing what was going on between Layla and Landen from Corin and Skylar PoV war hilarious at times.
While in the original story it was just intense. So it was pretty interesting how the author managed to change that mood. Their observations of the other couple were pretty funny while their own story was growing in its intensity by the minute and reached almost the level of the first book.
I have to admit I kept wondering if the author really went with the original script and I was tempted to go back to the first book to check. The basic plot is running alongside that was clear but I am known to have a detail OCD…but I had myself under control and refrained.
The story is so well developed that you can without any problem read this book as a standalone – the only thing that will be spoilered to you is what happens to the other couple . But even so – it is not bad – as the original book is so intense and different that you might as well read it even after this one without feeling to get something told twice.
Corin and Skylar are so different that it is really a masterpiece to write the story so that they work out together and I am not sure How Caisey Quinn did it but she pulled it off nicely.
So I can totally recommend this book to everybody who thinks the blurb might appeal to him and who likes a romance that is not all hearts and flowers.
