Truth. Pain. Freedom.
An awakening like no other.
When life is determined to buck you off, dig in and ride hard.
The bull. The most dangerous lies are the ones we tell ourselves. To survive, I have to face the truth. Easier said than done when it’s not all black and white. There’s the in-between, and this murky void is where I always tend to land.
The horns. Lies don’t always hurt. My lies protected me, but when they are exposed and I can no longer outrun the many shades of truth, I’ll be in for one hell of a reckoning.
The ride. From the outside, my life looks like one big adventure after another. But, there is no freedom in anarchy, and that’s the way I’ve lived my life. Until now. Until Ransom.
Denver Dempsey was a slut for oblivion. Now, she’s a slut for love. And it’s that kind of thinking that got her in trouble in the first place. Ransom awakens Denver in ways she never imagined, but when her true feelings send her reeling, will they catapult her into the arms of Greer—her ex best-friend-with-benefits? After never loving anyone, herself included, she now loves two. One kept her alive. One teaches her how to live. If they didn’t both love her … if hearts weren’t bound to be broken, it would be the stuff dreams are made of.
Will Denver remain locked up in the bullpen, or is she strong enough to open the chute and be freed?
5 Star Review
Lynetta Halat is one of my favorite authors and I haven’t been disappointed by one of her books yet. Every Rose will probably always be my favorite book of hers because I love Michael Bang so much but Freed has probably gained the number two spot.
Lynetta is so talented and she put the story together just as I was thinking that it needed to be. By this I mean that I like USED and I think it was good at showing how and why Denver was so broken but in FREED it made a switch to Denver fixing herself with Ransom’s help. This switch was needed to keep Denver from turning into the whiny character. It was perfectly timed to make for a strong story. Although, there were still moments where Denver was still stuck on this love for Greer thing and it made me want to smack her.
Lynetta also did the perfect thing with Ransom he is so rugged and tough be also caring and down to earth. He is just what Denver needed. I love the way he loves. From the day he saw Denver he loved her and don’t mention the way he loves his mom. He was also there for his family. And the play time with Denver and Randsom was HOT with a little twist!!
I loved it and I can’t wait for more of the story between Denver and Ransom.
Oh and I can’t wait for more Austin too. He makes me smile :).
Since the dawn of time, Lynetta Halat has lived to read and has written innumerable stories and plays. A lover of good books, bad boys, and kickass tunes, she’d always dreamt of penning books that people could connect with and remember. She also has a secret penchant for wringing the emotions out of unsuspecting readers, and she collects reader’s tears in much the same way that wine connoisseurs collect their favorite vintage.
Her first novel, Every Rose, was the perfect catalyst to launch her into the world of publishing, effectively burrowing her way into the hearts and minds of readers throughout the world. Everything I’ve Never Had was her follow-up adult romance novel. Now, she has penned Used, a New Adult Romance that she hopes sinks its teeth into you and doesn’t let go.
Her love of the English language prompted her to pursue a Master’s degree in English from Old Dominion University in Virginia, where she also minored in snark and interpretive dance. She lives somewhere along the Mississippi Gulf Coast with her adorable husband, two amazing sons, and two loveable dogs. When she’s not writing riveting stories, she likes to focus on her macramé art and her scouring of eBay, where she buys locks of hair from her favorite rock stars, most especially Bret Michaels and Dave Grohl.

I LOVED this book. I couldn’t put it down. To read about Denver’s healing was refreshing. She needed that after everything she went through in Used. Ransom is a very patient man and perfect for Denver. That is who she needed. She needed to see how a “normal” family functioned like, what real love is, and to heal on her own and with the guidance of Ransom. Greer fans….don’t worry, you won’t be disappointed either.
This book definitely will not let you down. There is angst, love, humor, sex, just about every possible emotion you can think of.
Great review Stephanie!!! Anyone considering buying it….DO IT!!!! It will not disappoint. I know I wasn’t. I read this book in a matter of hours.
