Dylan Walker has spent six years trying to move on from the loss of his girlfriend, Presley Cooper. Motivated by grief and the desire to do for others what he couldn’t do for her, he burns the candle at both ends to make it through medical school. After graduation he moves west, putting as much distance as possible between his past and his present.
Or so he thought.
Unknowingly, Dylan has been set on a path that will destroy everything he thought he knew. All the pain, all the grief, was all for nothing. With the help of an unexpected ally, Dylan must find the answers and save the girl he loves before it’s too late.
Deceit.
Betrayal.
Revenge.
A second chance at love.
But first, he must find a way to make her remember her past. Remember him. Remember everything.
What do you want from me?” Dylan twisted his hands in his hair and paced in front of her. “I don’t know what you want me to say. Every fucking day for over a month I’ve asked you if you were okay. I’ve begged you to talk to me, but all you’ve done is pop another pill and tell me you’re fine. You won’t talk to me. You won’t let me in.”
“Because you don’t want to be in here!” she screamed, pointing to her head. “It took you a week to get over what happened. It’s like it never happened as far as you’re concerned. Like you never really cared!”
Dylan stared at her, his face colored with disbelief. “Are you fucking kidding me?” he choked, his eyes glistening. “I begged you not to do it, and when you did, even though it killed me, I told you it was okay, that we would be okay because I fucking love you. And still, you pushed me away. Every fucking day, you’ve pushed me away when all I’ve wanted is to be with you.”
“Because I hate myself,” she cried, tears running down her cheeks.
“That’s your fucking problem! You don’t get to be angry at me for doing something I never wanted in the first place, Presley!”
Presley’s face fell, and all the anger drained from her body. “You’re right,” she whispered, taking a step back. “It is my problem.”
Dylan’s face twisted with pain and regret. “I didn’t mean that. I’m sorry.”
Presley shook her head and looked toward the curb. She lifted her hand and signaled for one the waiting cars to pull forward. “I’m going to go.”
“No, baby, please don’t,” Dylan begged, moving forward to catch her. “The last time you ran away from me in a cab was the worst moment in both our lives. Please don’t leave me like that again.”
Tears pooled in Presley’s eyes as her stomach bottomed out. “This isn’t like that. I just want to go home. I need to be alone. I’m messed up, Dylan, and I’m the only one who can fix me.”
“Please don’t go,” he whispered, his face solemn.
“I’ll call you tomorrow. I promise. I just need to think. Please.”
Dylan stared at her for a long moment before his shoulders dropped in defeat. He stepped forward and wrapped her in his arms. “I love you, Elvis.”
“I love you too.” Presley lifted her chin and pressed her lips against his. “I’ll call you tomorrow.” With a final goodbye, she stepped into the waiting car and gave the driver her address. The entire ride, all she could hear were Dylan’s angry words telling her it was all her fault.
WOW!! Where and how do I begin this review?!? Flutter was so much more than I expected. And it’s Olivia at her best!!!
Flutter is romantic suspense that Olivia wove together with her intricate web of twists, turns and surprises that will leave you wanting more. From the very start, you are pulled into the story and immediately need to know what happened and where the story goes.
Flutter is told in 3rd person narrative but goes back and forth between the present and the past. I am not usually a huge fan of 3rd person POV but Olivia made this work really well; it almost felt like I was watching a movie play out before me. It was gripping and powerful and flowed at the perfect pace.
“When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways – either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength.” ~ Dalai Lama
Dylan and Presley are two characters that will stay with you forever. The blurb says it all – this is a book of deceit, betrayal and revenge at it’s finest. It’s heartbreaking in so many ways watching Dylan realize the past is not only a lie but that in order to fix the past, he must do the unthinkable – relive it all over again. Presley will pull at your heart strings – my heart hurt for her in ways I never thought possible. And Dylan’s ally, it’s impossible to not love this character deeply.
Olivia has definitely upped her game with Flutter. The delivery and her writing technique make this book one my top faves this year. It’s a romantic suspense with a touch of psychological thriller added in and will keep you engrossed in the story til the very end. Flutter is a book I will be recommending to everyone!
