Tall Stacks of Books: Book Review | Confess by Colleen Hoover

‘Confess’ by Colleen Hoover is about Auburn who is trying to put back together the pieces of her life. While in the midst of that, she meets Owen who she feels a connection to but due to certain issues in his life, she has to make the decision on whether or not it is good for Owen to remain in hers.

‘Confess’ was good. Definitely a great Sunday read although it isn’t my favorite Colleen Hoover novel. That honor is a toss up between ‘Slammed’ and ‘Hopeless’. Oh and 'Ugly Love'! I seriously love those books. They are what turned me into the HUGE Colleen Hoover fan that I am! But I digress…

Auburn and Owen were amazing together. You could feel the chemistry between them. Also, I love how Colleen writes the men in her stories. They literally will nestle themselves in your heart and never let go. This happens every time I read one of her books. The thing I didn’t like about this book was that after a couple of chapters, I had already guessed the issues each characters faced so the reveals weren’t shocking to me. Which is why I said this wasn’t my favorite book from her but that was the only thing I didn’t like which pales in comparison to what I DID like.

Colleen Hoover is an amazing writer who draws me in almost immediately when I begin to read a novel from her. That is pretty rare for me. There are only a select few that can to that (IMO) and Colleen is one of them. The way she wrote Auburn and Owen, I could feel every emotion they were feeling spill from the pages. And don’t get me started on the artwork… It was amazing! So beautiful and a great addition to the book!

So if you are like me and late to the party, go pick up ‘Confess’ and be amazed by the powerhouse that is Colleen. I dare you not too.

Below you will find the description of the book and where you can purchase it.

At age twenty-one, Auburn Reed has already lost everything important to her. In her fight to rebuild her shattered life, she has her goals in sight and there is no room for mistakes. But when she walks into a Dallas art studio in search of a job, she doesn’t expect to find a deep attraction to the enigmatic artist who works there, Owen Gentry.

For once, Auburn takes a chance and puts her heart in control, only to discover that Owen is keeping a major secret from coming out. The magnitude of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to get her life back on track is to cut Owen out of it.

To save their relationship, all Owen needs to do is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin.

Also from Colleen Hoover…

When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she doesn't think it's love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.

Never ask about the past.

Don’t expect a future.

They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all.

Hearts get infiltrated.

Promises get broken.

Rules get shattered.

Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher
