book hangover alert

I cannot say enough about this book. It held me, gripped me really, and wouldn't let go. I finished the entire book in one sitting because I just could not put it down. Amazing writing. I truly felt like I was a part of the sorry.

Cliffhanger alert!

Cliffhanger alert! It's a good thing I had the second book, Conviction, ready because the ending had me screaming. Not going to give anything away, but this was very well written with so many emotions. Will definitely be buying more from Corinne Michaels.

Great read

Another great book from Michaels. Tons of heartbreak and angst. But also tons of new love and new beginnings. The feels you get from this one leaves you feeling them for days after.

Loved This Book.

I absolutely loved this book, after suffering heartbreak Natalie finds unexpected love with Liam, her late husband's best friend. They have many ups & downs , but are in it for the long haul. This book has a twist at the end, but don't let that put you off. You definitely have to read Conviction the 2nd part of their love story. ( I purchased The Consolation Duet which contains both books )

Because Consolation is a very different story from other military romance's I decided to read it and I wasn't disappointed.

Consolation is an emotionally charged story. This military romance plot is very different and that's what drew me to read this particular book. I've recommended this book to friends and I hope you will give it your consideration as well.

I fell in love with her characters in the Belonging Duet (Beloved & ...

I was given an ARC of Consolation in exchange for an honest review. First, let me say I am a huge fan of Corinne Michaels. I fell in love with her characters in the Belonging Duet (Beloved & Belonging) and did not think I could possibly love another one like I do Jackson Cole. Well...I'm here to tell you I was wrong. Liam Dempsey has become one of my favorite book boyfriends. Consolation made me feel every emotion- from laughing to crying to anger and back to crying. Natalie did not think she would ever love again after Aaron. Enter Liam Dempsey- he opened her eyes and her heart back up. Their love story was so beautifully written. Liam is Natalie's friend first and this friendship blossoms into an amazing story of two people who find love. The thing is neither one of them were looking for love. That's what makes it so special- their love just happened. Just when they start settling into a routine their worlds are rocked again. Will they survive? I can't wait for the conclusion of their story in Conviction- due in May 2015. Well done Corinne!!
