EVERYTHING I LEFT UNSAID is book one in the Everything I Left Unsaid series by M. O'Keefe, who is actually Molly O'Keefe. She does a terrific job of writing incredibly angsty books that capture me utterly and wring me out into a sobbing yet happy ball on the floor. I adore her writing. This series under her "M." name is a contemporary romance, like her others under the Molly name, but this series is erotic. And boy howdy, does it deliver.

Annie has fled from an abusive husband, running cross country until she hunkers down in a rundown trailer park with badly dyed hair and only a few bucks to her name. She rents a dilapidated trailer and waits to see if she's successfully escaped. She discovers an abandoned cell phone in her trailer. A sexy voice on the other end of the phone slowly coaxes her over time into enjoying her newly found freedom. Dylan soon entices her to act out her sexual fantasies, and it's so liberating to follow as Annie feels more alive when she pushes herself beyond the limits her mother and husband have hemmed her into. Dylan has his own horrific past that has locked him into isolation, but soon he finds that Annie's lust for life is tempting him into opening up as well. The story is told from alternating his- and-hers points of view, keeping me riveted in Dylan and Annie's heads.

EVERYTHING I LEFT UNSAID ends on a cliffhanger, and I'm so anxious to read book two, which will be released a month later. If you don't want to be biting your nails in a tizzy, waiting to find out what happens, you might want to buy this one and wait to read it until book two, THE TRUTH ABOUT HIM, comes out. Either way you choose to pace it, you want to read this book. It is dark, gripping, and HOT. I'll read anything O'Keefe writes. And EVERYTHING I LEFT UNSAID by M. O'Keefe leaves me panting for more.
