Loving him is easy.

Fearing him is necessary.

Trusting him could be a deadly mistake.

Born deaf and living with an anxiety disorder, Brooke Hartley manages life in five-minute intervals. It’s all she can do to get out of bed each morning. She’s hidden inside her sister’s apartment for over a year.

Everything changes when Brooke’s sister goes missing. Her fragile world crashes. She is desperate to find her, and she’ll need help.

Haunted by a past he needs to forget, Scott Derrico keeps to himself until his gallery manager, Autumn Hartley, suddenly disappears. He is forced out of his isolation to help a woman that needs him with a terrifying intensity.

Scott tries to deny his attraction to Brooke. He doesn’t want to get emotionally involved but he craves her like nothing else. And, for her, he is a dark and sexy diversion to overcome her fear.

With a genuinely flawed and relatable heroine and a mysterious and protective hero, you won’t want this love story to end. You’ll beg…for another five minutes…

Page turner, kept me reading with wonderful characters.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 28, 2018

This story caught me and would not let go! The instant attraction between Brooke and Scott was great but not the only pull in this story. I had to know what happened, who did it, and could not stop turning pages. I loved how Brooke's deafness did not stop any of the story, love, danger, etc. keep her from doing things. Scott's instant protectiveness made him a wonderful counterpart. From Brooke's past tragedies to the current situation, I enjoyed the entire package. I highly recommend this story.

I received an ARC of this story through Goddessfish Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.

A real page-turner

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 30, 2018

Brooke is deaf and suffers from anxiety - to the point where she can’t leave the apartment she shares with her twin sister Autumn. Scott is an artist who employs Autumn as his gallery manager and who struggles with his own internal demons. When Autumn disappears suddenly, Brooke and Scott team up to find her. In the process, two damaged people might just become whole again.

The story is told alternately from the points of view of Brooke and Scott in the third person. I had trouble keeping up with whose head I was inside and would have preferred if the story was told in the first person. The author vividly evokes Brooke’s feelings of anxiety with descriptions such as this one: “She drowned in the fear. That was what it felt like. There was no air, no escape, no help, no hope.” Her inability to speak is handled skillfully, although her thoughts and signing become confused towards the end, as they are both italicized.

Brooke’s and Scott’s sudden, intense attraction to each other may sound unbelievable to some, but I know from experience that feelings can develop that quickly. The thing I did find unbelievable – especially given her anxiety disorder - was that Brooke was willing to become intimate with Scott while she was so worried about her missing sister. I was disappointed that Scott admits he fell in love with Brooke because she’s so beautiful. I also wasn’t a fan of his nickname for Brooke: “little girl”. While the quick pace will keep you turning the pages, it feels like everything is wrapped up a little too quickly in the end.

A real page-turner.

Warnings: domestic violence, sexual references, sex scenes, graphic violence.

I received this book in return for an honest review.

‘Life was supposed to continue after death here.’

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 28, 2018

Virginia author Destiny Booze attended Virginia Western Community College for two years. Her writing career began as a community journalist, yet creative writing was always her passion. She believes she has the power to make her dreams come true. Through faith and a positive attitude, ‘I want to believe in the basic good of the world. Writing is my calling and passion. It is my dream.’ ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES is her sixth novel.

Destiny writes romantic suspense novels, and her concepts for stories are enhanced by the out of the ordinary characters she carves. In order to clarify the characteristics of her lead player she opens with a Prologue that shares the childhood and the reason for the chosen title – ‘Brooke Hartley sat in front of a pile of toys. It was not playtime. Just five more minutes. At three years old, Brooke lived most moments of her life in five-minute intervals. To cope. To manage. To survive. It was too overwhelming to think about life in terms of hours, days, weeks, or especially years. Maybe life wouldn’t last that long. Maybe she wouldn’t want it to. Those concepts were too complicated at age three. Instead, she concentrated on getting through five minutes of life at a time. She was too young to be able to show five minutes on a clock, but she understood that time length. Five minutes was the time between her and her sister’s births. It was a vaginal delivery. Later she learned most twins are born farther apart. The doctor joked she didn’t want to be alone without her sister, Autumn. Five minutes after she was born, the doctors realized something was wrong. They didn’t confirm the problem right away, but the announcement was made before she left the hospital. She was deaf. Maybe it was a birth defect. Maybe the problem was caused by all the beatings Dad gave Mom while she was inside the womb. Was the damage operable? Could they repair it? Brooke’s parents quickly declined any further testing to determine those answers. Five minutes was how long Dad hit Mom to put her in the hospital after Brooke and Autumn came home as newborns. The beating was bad enough that Dad went to jail, but he wasn’t gone long. Living with him was a lesson in avoidance. It never took him long to lose his temper; that was for sure. At a young age, Brooke and Autumn learned to hide when Dad was home.’

Having created a deaf heroine whose live is lived in 5 minute intervals makes for a fascinating device for a romance. But Destiny does just that as we learn from her plot synopsis – ‘Loving him is easy. Fearing him is necessary. Trusting him could be a deadly mistake. Born deaf and living with an anxiety disorder, Brooke Hartley manages life in five-minute intervals. It’s all she can do to get out of bed each morning. She’s hidden inside her sister’s apartment for over a year. Everything changes when Brooke’s sister goes missing. Her fragile world crashes. She is desperate to find her, and she’ll need help. Haunted by a past he needs to forget, Scott Derrico keeps to himself until his gallery manager, Autumn Hartley, suddenly disappears. He is forced out of his isolation to help a woman that needs him with a terrifying intensity. Scott tries to deny his attraction to Brooke. He doesn’t want to get emotionally involved but he craves her like nothing else. And, for her, he is a dark and sexy diversion to overcome her fear. With a genuinely flawed and relatable heroine and a mysterious and protective hero, you won’t want this love story to end. You’ll beg…for another five minutes…’

This is a stunningly original novel, well written and tense enough to satisfy the most finicky suspense story lovers. Highly recommended. Grady Harp, August 18
