Title: Special Delivery II

~My Review~
This story...Gavin Brooks! This author...Perri Forrest! I've come to be highly selective with my reading. I have my favorites, and only venture out when I feel that pull. In regards to Ms. Forrest's Special Delivery, I've been longing for the follow up to this "bad boy" story. What I got was on a level that surpassed my expectations.
After SD's ending and prelude to book 2, I thought that all was lost. I loved/still love the independence of a strong female character, namely Gavin's love interest Christina. And moreover, I was enthralled with Gavin. Though he might've initially come across as a player, that label was far from true. And as Ms. Forrest tactfully stripped down the walls of his life, my heart quickened as I rode the waves of emotional turmoil.
You see, it takes much more than meeting and falling in love to make a story romantic. What captures me is the nitty-gritty, the intricate parts we tend to block out, the emotions we keep at bay...the ones that must eventually surface in order for love to be considered real. And that is what makes a journey believable. This quality is what Perri Forrest consistently brings to her novels.
About the Author
Perri Forrest was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and raised in sunny California. She describes herself as a trilogy---a Businesswoman who navigates through Corporate America flawlessly from Human Resources to Project Management, a Sociologist with a burning desire to save the world, and an Author who loves writing life into fiction.
When Perri suffered the devastating loss of her first cousin on her birthday, in 2006, with a few months left to complete her undergraduate studies, she barely made it through. A good friend not only suggested that she begin blogging to journal her moods and thoughts, that same friend gifted her with a newly designed blog platform, which birthed her first e-journal.
The blog opened a whole new world for Perri and served as a place she could express candidly, about life. When her blog was discovered and she began receiving compliments on not just her candor, but on her writing style as well, it fueled the fire, and thoughts of penning a novel resurfaced.
The lingering doubts of, "Who would even want to read your work?" were replaced with, "Worry about an audience later, and just do it."
And that she did.
Perri writes what she likes to call, "Multicultural Mayhem, laced with Sex, Cursing, Sass and the Occasional Happily Ever After."
Perri plans to perfect her craft and delve into other genres, down the line. With "Amazon bestselling author," added to her list of credits, Perri is in the writing game for the long haul and has no intentions of putting down her pen any time soon.
