He’s pole position…
Carson Matthews, the hottest driver ever to hit the MotoGP circuit, is living the carefree, celebrity lifestyle. With little to worry about, other than keeping himself top of the leader board, his favourite weekend pastime is visiting a certain blonde at Angels Gentlemen’s Club.
She’s a pole dancer…
Emma Bancroft, a part-time lap dancer, is just trying to make ends meet. Her responsibilities weigh heavily on her, as does the secret she’s kept from everyone for the last two and a half years.
The two of them are poles apart.
I remember getting the link to sign up for the cover reveal for Poles apart and Oh My God!!! I was intrigued from then and was dying to read it.
If the blurb doesn't get you excited the first two pages will have you hooked.
I was only meant to read a chapter while I waited for my friend to come and ended up losing track of time. She beeped her horn and everything. If it wasn't for the fact I was reading it from my phone I wouldn't have stopped reading to answer the phone lol!! (Just don't let her know that)
Then I stayed up until one last night wanting... no needing... to finish it. I didn't though until today, my tired eyes won out. Damn them.
I can't really give a review where I give you a play by play of the book like some do because it would ruin it. Like, really ruin it lol.
I fell in love with both characters from the first chapter. I was rooting for them and I never even got to know them.
The book is set in London, so hearing familiar places written in the book was a nice change. I've only ever read one book based in England, so this was a nice read. Let's just say it's gave me hope that there is a Carson somewhere here in England lol.
There is one part in the book where Emma and Carson are arguing. It changed my view on him so quickly. My heart was in my throat. I held my breath so much through the argument, gasping every now and again. God, it felt like I was there in the room with them. I wanted to beat him so blooming badly. How my emotions could go from a love sick puppy, to an angry woman is beyond me. I had to laugh at myself when I start ranting out loud over it, telling myself 'it's just a book' I really was a sight to see aha.
The argument isn't the only emotion the book brings out in you. It's so captivating, so addictive, and raw that you'll have a hard time getting over it afterwards. I'm still trying to now. In fact, I'm thinking about re-reading it again I loved it that much.
Has to be one of the best books I've read this year and I've read a lot. 2014 has been a good year for us readers with the amazing books being published. But for me POLES APART has just hit the top of my list. I've seriously fell in love. It's now my second favorite book EVER!! Oh and I should mention, the first is also from Kirsty Moseley ;)
The ending had me weeping like a baby. Although I predicted what was going to happen at the beginning, it still did nothing to prepare me. I was a balling baby. It will have you on the edge of the seat. I found myself reading super fast just so I could see what happened. When I did, I went back to savor it, instead of acting like the words were going to disappear any second.
Sorry for my overlong review that probably gives you nothing as to why you should read the book, other than it is freaking amazing. I swear to you, you won't be disappointed. It's a book you'll fall in love with, it's brilliantly written and will have you begging for more.
5* and I really do wish I could give this book more, or give it a review that will do it justice because it really is a fantastic book. So glad I got an ARC. Knowing people could have been reading this while I sat reading some other book just kills me lol. Now I'm sounding like a mad women so I'm going to shut up.
