Waiting on Wednesday (23)



This is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where every Wednesday bloggers highlight a book that they are eagerly anticipating the release of! 


When You Open Your Eyes
By Celeste Conway
Release Date: March 20th
Summary: Tessa is in love with Lucien, the son of a European diplomat. He's French and sexy and artistic. With him, she realizes how naive and American she is, and just how alive she can feel.
But Tessa’s father forbids her to see Lucien. So they meet in secret, which makes their relationship feel all the more exciting.
The harder Tessa falls for Lucien, the more volatile he becomes. Suddenly it’s not just their relationship that’s breaking the rules—Lucien knows no boundaries. And Tessa must figure out how far she’ll go for Lucien…before there is no turning back.


So after reading this summary, I'm not really sure what to expect about this book. In the beginning, it seems like it's going to be a cute, foreign love story like Anna and the French Kiss, but near the end Lucien "knows no boundaries." This makes it seem like he's actually mean, or even abusive. Either way, it sounds like a great read! I'd like it more if it were a fun, light-hearted read, but if it ends up being deep and about serious issues, I know it'll be a good book!

    I just recently discovered this book and put it on my tbr. It does sound as though Lucien may be abusive. Thanks for sharing!

    I always seem to remember the first part of the synopsis, the good part and not the part where it takes a bad turn.

    I'm iffy on this one. I feel the same way you do when you read the description...not sure if I want to read a book on the abusing love interest or not. Might have to have a high from lovey dovey stories first!

    Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift.
