The Year We Hid Away The Ivy Years Sarina Bowen 9780991068029 Books

This is the 2nd book in The Ivy Years series. This book can be read as a standalone. With all that this series has to offer, I would recommend reading this series in order. This way you avoid spoilers, and get more out of the series itself.

Scarlet has had all she can take and then some. The past year has pushed her in places she never thought she would go. Now back at school, she just wants to get her education.

Bridger understands sacrifice all to well. He finds himself while learning to love the amazing woman Scarlet has become. Only secrets from their pasts coming like a whirlwind towards them can keep them apart.

This story happens at such a ferociously fast pace. It is a sweet and yet sexy story, where two very lonely people come together and find that love can reach you in a very dark place. I love the character development we get to read while it happens. I also think the banter is just amazing. Another win for both the series and the author.

The Year We Hid Away The Ivy Years Sarina Bowen 9780991068029 Books Reviews

Pure Gold. That’s what this book is. The Year We Hid Away is the second installment in the Ivy Years series, and it is as good as the first one. I’m completely in love with every book Sarina Bowen has written because I can’t get enough of her words. She has a way with words that fascinates me. Her style is wonderful, and her plots are usually very well developed. And I find really interesting that she tackles issues that are not very common in romance novels, like child molestation or drug abuse. But she does it with tact and sensitivity, and in a way that doesn’t alienate the reader at all, or turn the story too dark. But these issues are there, and make you think and feel. She doesn’t shy away from real life in any way. And in my opinion, that makes her truly special.

This is the story of Bridger and Scarlet, and it is really, really sweet. It has plenty of drama on both their ends, but their relationship develops beautifully from friends to lovers, and their chemistry is really hot. Bridger is so sweet, and hot, and wonderful. He’s going through the worst year of his life and hiding all his problems from his friends, avoiding them and doing what he thinks is best. But he wasn’t expecting to meet someone special.

Scarlet has her own secrets to keep, and is hiding in plain sight. Lying about who she really is, she tries to start a new life in Harkness College without the stigma of her family history. She refuses to open up to Bridger, choosing to fight her battles on her own. So when lies and half truths are exposed, they will need to trust each other and forgive mistakes to make their relationship work.

As I said, I loved this book. It’s sweet, romantic and has plenty of heat. Bridger and Scarlet are very well developed as characters and the plot is perfectly paced and though out. It has many sources of drama and angst, and the secondary characters are pretty awesome, as always. I specially enjoyed little Lucy, Bridger’s 8 year old sister, and Andy, Bridger’s friend and neighbor. It is truly a beautiful book, very easy to read and enjoy, and pretty impossible to put down.
There's technically three plots in this. One is the romance. Two is what's going on with Bridger. Three is Scarlet's family drama. They are all interwoven and tied together that I never feel cheated or unsatisfied.

I love the characters so much. Scarlet is a great Mfc while Bridger who we'd met in an earlier book is still fun but with more pathos than before. And it makes sense why he was so I must live for today because in his case it was very much he was living on so-called borrowed time.

There's a good happy ending. And I didn't see one twist coming. I wish Scarlet's uncle was introduced earlier... He was a little deus ex machina. Even a mention in the first chapter would have been enough.

In all I still am enjoying the author's writing.
This is a heartwarming story. Bridger we met in the first book in the series, The Year We Fell Down. In that one, he was a ice hockey player and manwhore. In this one, life circumstances have changed his lifestyle dramatically. He's living a stressful, secret life and struggling to keep moving forward, knowing that at any time everything could come crashing down on him. Scarlet, who legally changed her name over the summer, has just endured a lonely, ostracized senior year due to the criminal indictment and looming trial of her father. In her small town, she's guilty by being related. Her father, to whom she's never been close, was verbally abusive in the past and is distant now. Her mother is worried about keeping up appearances and doesn't spare a thought to what the situation is doing to her daughter. She's pressing for Scarlet to help present a united, harmonious front. Scarlet sees going to college as her escape. There she meets Bridger and their tentative friendship develops into a romance that grounds and enriches both of them. But when secrets are revealed and circumstances become desperate, their relationship is pushed to its limits. I felt such empathy for both Bridger and Scarlet. I totally understand the bind he was in, but feel Scarlet should have trusted him with her past after she discovered the mystery of his life. I really disliked her mother (how could she shrug off her daughter being slapped by the father's bodyguard?) and Azzad, the bodyguard. The book didn't address this, but I sincerely wished that Scarlet would've pressed charges against him for the illegal software he put on her phone, his actions Thanksgiving weekend, and the slapping. Of course, I disliked the father, too. In Scarlet's place, I doubt I would have spoken to him at all when I was forced back home. No way he should've gotten away with that. It was a relief to learn the truth about her uncle. This one brought tears to my eyes. Highly recommended!
