Tuesday Weston has been running from everything and everyone for as long as she can remember. Not letting anyone in for fear of putting them in danger.
How long can you run from your past until the secrets pile up so high the world you've created comes crumbling down?
Evan Williams has a well known reputation. Forget flavor of the week, he prefers flavor of the moment. When he meets a girl that threatens to change his lifestyle, he can’t help but run through as many women as he can to get her out of his head.
Unfortunately for him, that kind of thing never goes as planned.
When Evan forces Tuesday to see what is right in front of her, will she run and hide or stand and fight?
“Never a victim; forever a fighter”
Freeing Tuesday is an awesome book! It has angst, love,
romance, and suspense! It is also sexy as all hell and will have you falling in
love with Evan "Crotch Rot" Williams. There were also moments that I
struggled to not wake up my sleeping husband from laughing so hard!
I always make a big deal to let him know that his crotch rot
infested body isn’t welcome near mine, but in truth, it’s because I’m just
scared to get more attached than I already am just to have him ripped away from
me. So instead, I watch him screw random women knowing that I could never
be what he would need me to be. Maybe if I wasn’t scared he would get hurt
because of me I could at least try, but I know that will never happen. -

The book is written from the POVs of both Tuesday
and Evan. I loved seeing into the heart
that no women has even been able to soften before. It was equally wonderful to
see Tuesday relax for the first time in her entire life.
Tuesday is a very complex character but Katheryn Kiden
was able to allow the readers to peel back the layers without being blown away
by her intensity and first allowing her into your heart and soul. She is such a
mess of nerves and secrets! I would have never guessed her secret! She has an
unspeakable past and my heart hurt for the horror of what she had to endure
before escaping. She doesn't take shit from anyone, and if someone touches her
without her permission, she can have them on the floor before they even know
what is happening!
I have been
gone for five years, eight months and seventeen days. I am alone even though I
am not. I am a ghost even though I can be seen. I am a monster. I am a demon.
But he, he is my devil.
He haunts
me, scares me and makes me do things I never wanted to. I ran to escape him but
I don’t know which is worse. Knowing where my devil is, or watching my shadow
waiting for him to drag me back to hell.
I hear the
screams; the begging, the pleading. The sickening sound of the gun going off
and then silence. Nothing hits my ears except my labored breathing and I am
completely numb other than my rioting stomach. - Tuesday
Evan is such a man-whore!! Everywhere he is women are
throwing themselves at him! The names that he had for the days of the week were
genius! The book didn't delve to deeply into Evan other than he is a really big
guy, owns a tattoo shop and was a marine. He is also Jameson's (from book 1)
very tatt'd older brother.
"If all
I wanted was a quick lay I wouldn’t be trying to get between the thighs of my
gorgeous best friend right now.”“Why would you want to risk losing me as your
best friend by getting in my pants?”
“Because
since the first time I met you, you’re the girl I want to see when I wake up
and before I go to sleep. You’re the one I need.”
“I bet you
say that to all the girls.”
“Never
once. I’ve never had the undeniable urge
to lay my lips against a woman’s neck and feel how fast her pulse is racing.
I’ve never cared about what a woman was thinking, about her dreams, about her
fears. But, I do with you. You make me want to care. I want to know how I
make you feel.”
Tuesday is not used to opening her heart to anyone. She
has had to work hard at keeping herself anonymous so that her past doesn't
start knocking because if it does, her life would be over and possibly the
lives of the only family that she has ever known.
It’s the
first time in weeks that my laughter is actually real and I know that Evan is
the reason. He can take me from feeling like I just took a stroll through hell,
to feeling like I’m floating on a cloud and nothing can touch me. All with just
a few words.
I’d be lying
if I said it didn’t scare the hell out of me. - Tuesday
This book had a lot of unexpected twists and kept me on
the edge of my seat! I didn't want to put it down! The playlist Katheryn Kiden
created on Spotify is great! I really liked how the book ended with a HEA. I will be stalking Katheryn until I can get
my hands on Hate Me Today, book 3! And Katheryn, if you are reading this, I'm
really glad that you didn't hit the delete button. In fact, I might break into
your house and steal your delete button (totally j/k)!!
