I was joking around with Tiffany on Twitter while putting this post together, saying that I'm going to make a separate post for my favorite quotes, since I highlighted half the book. Here are a couple fun ones!
The moment I entered the bar, I seemed to ignore every rule I'd ever set. My rules were simple enough that a fucking two-year old could follow them.
"Well, shit," I grumbled when I found myself flat on my back at his feet. Would there be no end to embarrassing myself in front of him?
If I'd had any thoughts that his voice only sounded sinful the night before because of the amount of alcohol I had consumed, I was delusional.
I felt more in control once I had the plan worked out in my head, despite the small voice that told me I was full of shit.
I'll admit that I haven't
read a lot of New Adult novels yet. I also need to be honest here - No
Attachments was my first Tiffany King read. It will not, however, be my last. I
had already bought a couple of her others, but hadn't gotten to them yet.
When the opportunity to
read and review No Attachments came, I decided to give it a try. I AM
NOT SORRY AT ALL. Yes, that
required emphasis. I could write pages and pages about how much I loved this
book, but it would take days. So I'm just going to ramble a bit. :) No
Attachments is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a contemporary romance with
strong, spunky characters.
Ashton Garrison has moved
to Woodfalls, a small town where everybody knows everybody else. In this town,
she can start over after leaving her old life behind. Ash has a list of things
that she'd like to do someday, and with the new start she decides there's no
time like the present.
Nathan Lockton has a job
to do. Get in, do the job, get out. Nothing else needs to be done. No emotion, no
attachments. It's just another job.
Ashton wants a one night
stand with no attachments and no regrets. From the moment she and her friends
start talking in the bar, I was hooked. Once Ash approaches Nathan, the fun
really begins. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to look at a trunk the same way
again. :)
Tiffany King does a
wonderful job telling the story from alternating viewpoints. We get the
opportunity to see where both Ashton and Nathan are coming from. Ashton is running
from something (not telling!) and Nathan has a job to do.
While the reader is aware
of some things almost immediately, there are still others that are expanded on throughout the
story. As each chapter flies by, we learn more and more about these wonderful
people. I started No Attachments late evening on a Sunday, and did not stop
until I reached the end around 2 AM. I was not going to sleep until I finished
this amazing story.
I became so wrapped up
with these fascinating characters that I didn't want this story to end. I would
go to Woodfalls to hang out with Ashton and the girls, maybe have a double date
with Nathan and Ashton. Perhaps my guy could pick up a few pointers. :) And I can totally relate to Ashton's feelings and reactions the morning after the bar - been there, almost did that.
There are so many great
scenes in this book, but I don't want to say too much here, so here are a few words
for you: snow, picnic, canoe, bar, darts, trunk, kitty...yeah. That's enough of
a teaser!
I have to give a shout out
to Fran. Every small town I've ever been in has a Fran, and Tiffany King wrote her
well. Ashton's best friends are also a lot of fun, as are others in the town. Every
single character has a voice of their own, and that's another thing I loved
about No Attachments.
But this is truly Ashton and Nathan's story, and
it's told to perfection. At times I smiled, laughed, and cheered. At others, I
groaned, bitched, and yelled. There were times I sobbed - some happy tears,
some sad ones. I highly recommend reading this when you have open time because you won't want to put it down. I also suggest having a box of tissues close by...you're
going to need it.
