She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ERyle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.  \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAs questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left behind.

Not just any love. But insta-love. I know for many people, insta-love is the kiss of death. But how else can I describe the visceral feeling I get when reading those first few chapters. The butterflies in my stomach, the breathlessness of my lungs, the palpitations of my racing heart.  \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EReading the first chapters of November 9 was like falling in love for the very first time. It's not perfect and you don't know everything there is to know, but there's something so special and unique about the unknown, the mystery of it all, that begs you to find out: What if? \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAs the story progresses the whirlwind fairytale gets tested and pushed to the limits. There are moments when the entire foundation could easily turn to quicksand, breaking apart everything that Ben and Fallon stand upon. These characters are flawed. Their pasts are flawed. That insta-love begins to transform into love for these characters for their triumphs over these obstacles and in spite of their flaws. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EFor the cynical, for the staunch realists, I will say, yes, you may have to suspend your disbelief in some aspects of this fictional novel, and if you can, I feel you will be handsomely rewarded. What I loved most was being swept into this story and carried on a roller coaster journey to a happily ever after. I was left with just one wish at the end: to experience one more November 9.

First, with \u003Ci\u003EMaybe Someday\u003C\/i\u003E where the music was woven into the fabric of the story, and now with \u003Ci\u003EConfess\u003C\/i\u003E, where the art is not only described, but can be seen and it can be felt. Artist Danny O'Connor captured the essence of Colleen's words and characters so beautifully, I find it necessary to tell you to go out and buy this book in paperback. Seeing them printed is truly worth the price.  \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAuburn and Owen's story, both individually and together, is beautiful. It's also heartbreaking, it's tumultuous, it's frustrating, and it rings true. Colleen is a master at taking very flawed characters that you might not really like, and show you why they are deserving of your love. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAll that being said, I have to admit, this was not my favorite of all of Colleen's novels. But, this is like comparing your pets (maybe even your children). I love them all, but some just strike a deeper chord with me. This novel did feel a bit short to me. I felt like there was so much more of their happily ever after that I wanted to see after enduring their hard fought battle for it. Ultimately though, this is just a longing of mine. The novel ended well and it left me with a perma-smile on my face. It also left me with no desire to pick up another book for a while so that I could just contemplate what I just experienced.

And then blond, brown-eyed Charlie Rourke walks through his door, and things get really complicated. Cain abides by a strict “no sleeping with the staff” rule.
