Wow, the feels you get from reading this book, you go through so many emotions and often all at once you feel Adriana's pain over the death of her husband Alex. She shuts everybody out not willing to hear his name or even touch her friends and keeping them from touching her without going into a panic/anxiety attack that cripples her.
We meet movie star Tucker Stavros, who also knows pain, heartbreak, devastation. His girlfriend of two years who is also a tv star betrayed him and he is over everything so he gets into his truck and takes off for no where in particular.
Somehow he ends up in Adriana's driveway, where from the moment they meet they start changing without even releasing it, helping each other with there pain and demons breaking down each other, not sure what to do with these feelings they are getting especially Adriana.
She feels guilty that she is betraying Alex and the love they had for each other, its absolutely heartbreaking the emotional turmoil she goes through on a daily basis and how it affects Tucker who finds himself feeling more for her everyday.
The sex is pretty hot, but I think its more about the emotions people grow through and the way they handle that grief, I loved that its a dual POV and also you get to hear Adriana's friends they have a chapter each, you get the experience there pain over losing there friend Alex but also Adriana. You will fall in love with all the characters, the story the flow, the feels you get from it you won't regret it. I need more, I need to know how Tucker's and Adriana's story ends I need book 2.
5 HIGHLY EMOTIONAL STARS!!

For those of you that wonder if you should give this new author a chance, the answer is an ABSOLUTE YES!!!!!
No, Renee is not perfect (then again who is????), but she knows how to wave a story. And that is what matters when you read a book.
The emotional rollecoster I was put, while reading Waking Up, was one of a kind! I had not felt so many emotions for a long time!
What is unique though, is Renee's ability to jump from a POV to another, describing the same situation and not bore you once! I absolutely loved this! She is amazing at keeping my interest at peek, while I try to figure out what is everyone thinking and why they act this way!
Last, but not least, we get to see the typical situations changing! Where Tucker is supposed to say no, we see Adriana's refusal. And that is something not many authors can attemp to write, let alone make it brilliant, as it's on this book!
I have already re-read the book and I am sure I will re-read it in the future as well!
