3.5 stars!
Crave me was intense. It was full of heartache, destruction, angst and love. It was not an easy read. I think it was probably more difficult for me than it would be for many. Everyone has topics that they’re sensitive about and this story had one I’m particularly sensitive about and proved to be a difficult read. I’m not going to lie, there were scenes I literally could not read. I had to skip. They just hurt too much. I feel like the author did a great job at realistically showing that side of addiction and what it feels like to love an addict, so bravo to that.
Austin and Briggs both felt like they didn’t have a real family- but they found that in each other. They went through so much together and it was painful at times to see their relationship. Austin was toxic for Briggs in many ways, but her love never wavered. All she wanted was for him to get it together. Not for her, but for him. Briggs has been through a lot in her life and my heart hurt for her. She was a wonderful and strong character. I love strong heroines and I’m so happy this book had one. Austin was plagued with his own struggles and demons and it took a lot for him to find himself. Those kinds of things don’t heal easy and guilt and blame took a huge toll on him. He desperately needed someone like Briggs in his life and was lucky to have her.
As difficult a read as this was for me, I thought M. Robinson truly did a great job with this story and these characters. It was an angsty, hard to read story, but had a great ending. Crave Me can be read as a standalone, but I recommend reading the entire series to get the full feel of the book and these characters!

Crave Me is featured in my May Top Pick of 2016!

~5 BEAUTIFULLY BROKEN STARS~
"Love was blinding and at time cruel. You only saw what you wanted to see, what you so desperately desired. Only picturing the good, never the bad."
Crave Me is a beautifully broken story of love, friendship, family, and the toxicity of addiction. Each moment is pumped with adrenaline as Austin and Briggs cling to each other for dear life. The Good Ol' Boys Series is one of my favorites and this addition to the set certainly exceeded all of my expectations. Although the characters overlap throughout the series, each book in the series can be read as a stand-alone. Crave Me is a simply stunning piece of art and Austin and Briggs love story is one that I will never forget!
Briggs is a strong heroine who has suffered great loss in her life. Learning to be independent and strong, she has made mistakes, and yet, she has learned to own them and make them a part of herself. While working one night, she meets our hero Austin! Austin takes her breath away, and the two instantly make a connection.
"I think I just fell in love with you."
"I never felt accepted, I never felt good enough, and that's what killed me the most. That's what ate away at me, piece by piece."Austin is the youngest Good Ol' Boys, and we have watched him battle addiction and heartbreak. In Crave Me we finally get to experience his battle first hand. Throughout the hard knocks in life, he has endured plenty! However, when he meets Briggs we see peace and joy in Austin that we have never seen before. But is love really enough?
"You're addicted to drugs, Austin. And I'm addicted to you. And our love is just as fucking toxic."
"In one thrust, I was balls deep insider her. Home. We moaned in unison, both appreciating what the other was giving. She fit like a fucking glove, tightly wrapped around my cock."In true M. Robinson style Crave Me covers the complete timeline of Austin and Briggs' lives. We bear witness to the joys and heartbreaks both main characters experience. Additionally, the supporting characters maintain their place of importance as the plot unfolds. Everytime Austin and Briggs find a place of peace and contentment, the evil bitch of addiction threatens to rip them apart again.
"Fuck you, Austin!"
"I'd rather fuck you, baby."
"I want to fuck you with my mouth. After I'm done making you come, over and over again, tasting you all around my tongue, I want to fuck you with my fingers and then have you lick them clean so when I claim your goddamn mouth I can still taste you as I fuck you."Told in dual POV, Crave Me was an unforgettable read. The characterization is complex and uniquely crafted. The writing flows smoothly and naturally throughout keeping the reader engrossed in every moment. The physical connection between Austin and Briggs was intoxicating and the passion they share left me breathless and wanting more. When the intensity drives to a point of breaking, the characters find a level of stillness in the safety of their love. There was not one moment that I doubted they would overcome their demons together.
"I wanted to love her so damn hard that she would still feel me in the morning."
Overall, Crave Me is a must read. It is by far my favorite read of the year and will stay with me forever. I have never been a fan of angst, and yet M. Robinson pulls me in every time. I can guarantee that if M. Robinson is writing, I will be reading.

5 heart shattering stars
Austin was always the outsider looking in, never fitting in with the world around him. He turned his back on his childhood only to stumble on his true home in the arms of Briggs.
Briggs was living a life she thought she deserves, with all she has hurt, it was only right to let the good and the light die, and leave her past behind. But that all changed when she catches the gaze of bright blue eyes. Everything in her tells her to turn away, but it's almost impossible when he's found a home in her just as shes found safety and happiness in him.
Life is a bitch that constantly pushes us to our limits...temptation, hurt, pain, suffering and toxic love. No matter how hard you love, there comes a time when you got to let go, numb the pain and just live in a hazy craze.
Crave Me was one insane roller coaster ride. Bursting with so much heart ache and feeling, there were times I didn't know what to do with myself. I knew Austin's book was gonna gonna be intense, and the angst queen did his story right not holding back on the ugly. Crave Me, in my opinion, is M. Robinson's best work yet, you can tell she poured her entire heart and soul into each word and page and I felt each and every single one of them.
Like all her books, she sets the stage giving us all we need to put the pieces of the past together to understand them and empathize with them. I swear I stepped in Briggs shoes, living her life through her eyes, watching and waiting for their world to blow. They are two lost souls that have found solace in one another, heaven and hell. Through the climbs and drops, the flips and the twists one thing was for sure, they loved each other to no end...some would say even a little too much. Regardless of their faults and their vices, they were never weak in my eyes; after all those who found their rock bottom only comes out stronger in the end.
This was the perfect ending to the Good 'Ol Boys series, and a mighty enticing beginning to a spin off that's set to come next. One I am extremely excited for, I love them bad and wicked and I know M. Robinson will deliver yet another angst ridden roller coaster ride.

6++++~My Rebel Boy~ Stars*****
(ARC kindly provided by author)
Crave Me is intense, addictive and heartbreaking. Author M.Robinson will rip your heart out with this book, and you are going to love it!!!!! We know this author as the queen of angst and she will live up to her title once more with this stunning story. Make sure you stock up on chocolate and tequila; since this last installment of the amazing Good Ol' Boys series is going out with a bang.
Austin..., sweet and sexy Austin. (*sigh) He's the lost boy, constantly behind, always searching for validation from his loved ones. He has talent, southern charm and an addictive personality. The youngest of the boys, he always felt misunderstood and after that terrible accident where he almost killed his best friend, half-pint, life in Oak Island got too much for him to handle, so he left.
He left with nothing, and in search of everything. One night in Miami he found the paradise he'd been looking for... Purple hair, her skin covered in art, a siren's body and haunted eyes.
Briggs had no childhood, only pain and lessons about what a messed up world we live in. At a young age, she decided to embrace her Martinez last name and joined her uncle in the kingdom where power is your most important weapon, taking what was up for grabs. Because life is a party, and she decided to RSVP...
The life she hated is what brought her face to face with the bad boy who with only one kiss would claim every inch of her body and soul.
Both Austin and Briggs are lost, but together they become a force to be reckoned with. Everything about them is intense, beautiful but also toxic. A love pure as sin, sex so fiery that burns through the pages of this novel and a relationship so heartbreaking that will ultimately make these two characters hit rock bottom. Will they survive? And... most importantly will you?
All our favorite characters from the previous books make an appearance, because the heart of this stories is the loyal and fierce friendship The Good Ol' Boys share. As a reader we have loved and suffered right along with them, they are part of our hearts, and M. Robinson has saved the best for last.
Austin became my favorite boy. With each book, each boy had a special place in my heart, but Austin conquered. I got high with his story. I fantasized and hoped hard for him. I wanted to scream at him, hug him and fix him, but as I discovered more about him and the beautiful way he loved Briggs, I accepted his flaws and became completely obsessed with him. A heart pounding, sweaty palms, damp panties kind of story. Author M. Robinson takes the cake with this one; I freaking LOVED IT!!!!!! So, OF COURSE, I highly recommend it.
Not only did I fall in love with Austin and Briggs, but also with Brigg's uncle, Alejandro. The sexy Colombian mafia boss, that has a black heart, the body of an adonis and super alpha personality. That ending left me panting and craving more. I need this author to hurry up and write more, PLEASE!!! (Yes, M. Robinson, I am begging)

It’s time to get real. This series started off on a high for me and I couldn’t wait to see what would come next for The Good Ol’ Boys. Somewhere along the way I developed this idea of Austin and I wasn’t looking forward to this story. See Austin is an addict and that storyline isn’t my favorite, because addiction is rarely beaten. However, this is probably my favorite in the series, so I was completely wrong.
As you know Austin is an addict. It all started when he was in the accident with Alex and it really just grew and spiraled out of control from there. When he meets Briggs it’s the perfect storm for an addict, because he is given the opportunity to become more immersed in that lifestyle.
Now Briggs, she is not an addict. She isn’t perfect, but she longs for more and for normalcy. Having lost her family at a young age, she just wants to belong and have a family again.
I swear my heart absolutely broke for these two, because both are damaged in their own way. They are two struggling souls fighting, and a lot of times losing, for peace, love and acceptance. This story spans multiple years, but I think it was necessary to show the changes and to really see the struggles.
This story is full of emotion, drama and heart, but it didn’t feel like drama for drama. I can’t think of anything I would change in this story. It is a hard read that broke my heart wide open, but it was beautifully written and felt real. By the end, I loved Austin and Briggs and wanted a happily ever after for them so desperately. I wanted them to find the peace they craved and I wanted them to find it together.
I loved Complicate Me, but Austin’s story ended up being my favorite. I feel like it’s just more, and I love more in a book. I definitely recommend for when you are ready for an emotional read, that will take you on a rough journey, but will ultimately leave you feeling hopeful.
PS - M. Robinson, that preview/ending, seriously! I need to know!!!!

The last of the Good Ol' Boys has arrived! Each book has increased in angst and drama. Each book has escalated the emotions. Each story has had its own impact on the readers through the characters met along the way. Never has the road to happiness been harder or darker than Austin's as his story is double the pain with the introduction of Briggs (Daisy).
They say in order to find yourself you have to go home.
What if home was what you're running from?
Where did that leave you?
Two character from opposite ends of the states with contrasting upbringings somehow living similar lives. Austin is a part of a close circle of friends and family, yet he longs for more...to be something or someone that no one, not even himself understands. Briggs has lost everything and while provided for, she lives in isolation. She too has no idea who she is. Both characters just do not fit in and they are so empty.
Fate? Maybe even something more cruel brings two people together in a moment that changes everything. With eyes locked, they find everything...only to be set up together on path to lose it all. While Austin was looking for a purpose, a reason to fit in, Briggs was longing for someone to see inside her and fill the void known as her life.
I saw something familiar in her eyes, something I had always seen in mine, reflecting back at me. PAIN. A raw and dark painful ache, exactly like the pain I have been carrying around my whole life.
Never has a story been so deeply distraught...have two characters deserved so much more than what they had been given and what they had taken. I will not even attempt to summarize this story. I feel as if this is a book that NEEDS to be read. For anyone living with inner demons, past or present, those lacking self worth...searching for a fix...CRAVE ME may be a painful trigger. M. Robinson delivers a stunning story of love and loss. Addiction has so many faces, even worn by the most genuinely beautiful people. At the heart of this story was such an unyielding devotion and love but the despair that came with the next high was equally as strong. Never have the words "I'm sorry" been so incredibly sad to read. This dual POV story was epic for me...it was beyond heart-wrenching and it was profound.
So while this story is not pretty, for me it was one of the most tragically beautiful stories I have read to date. Austin will break you a hundred times over and you will still beg for his touch...just like the girl with the tattoos and the purple hair. This Good Ol' Boy deserved a HEA, but it is only in the pages of Crave Me that a reader will come to find if he reaches for it...to find out if Briggs really is his light in darkness...or if their love truly is toxic!

You are on an emotional roller coaster ride throughout the book's entirety and at times you have to put it down and take deep breaths. I think it tells an amazing story of drug addiction and how sometimes it truly is a slippery slope.
Our male hero, Austin, is dealing with a lot and some of the things he did made me want to shake him and scream at him, but he definitely grows in this book and he is a lot better person because of the mistakes he made.
Austin realizes that he has to come to terms with his past, before he destroys his future. Tortured by two obsessions – drugs and Briggs – Austin must ultimately decide which is the one he truly cannot live without.
Briggs puts up with a lot of unacceptable behavior. She reaches a point that she feels she can’t take it anymore. Sometimes letting go with love is the only solution. Once Austin hits rock bottom, he’ll be able to self-reflect, rebuild himself and make some serious changes. Can he convince Briggs he is a changed man? Can Briggs forgive the man she once loved?
I adored Briggs’ character. She made life worth living for Austin. She gave him something to look forward to in the middle of all the torture and pain.
This is an insanely intense, hot, completely captivating, “angsty” read. It is an electrifying page turner from start to finish, a unique tale of life-changing love, a very inspiring story of how love helps someone to keep breathing! The author did a fantastic agonizing, heartbreaking writing.
Crave Me is one of those rare stories where the love story is just as gripping as the danger. I highly recommend the book to those who love a good tortured romance and aren’t afraid of some pretty dark, disturbing material.

TITLE: Crave Me
SERIES: (The Good Ol' Boys #4)
AUTHOR: M. Robinson
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
RELEASE DATE: May 10th, 2016
MY RATING
What I love most about this series is that each book can be read as a stand alone but not only that but how each book takes us right back to where it all started, gives you those double whammy of feels because it's from each characters perspective POV.
CRAVE ME: Is told in dual POV'S (Austin and Briggs)
The story starts us off by firstly introducing us to Briggs aka Daisy at the tender age of 6 she lost both her parents to a horrendous car accident, she will forever feel responsible for that day for the part she played acting out in the back seat as her mother was dealing with torrential rain, killing both parents simultaneously leaving her behind as the sole survivor.
Living with her uncle, shunted from school to school, never forming friendships, a loveless house, no laughter, no loving female guidance, her existence is just that, a sad heartbreaking story told in her own words as she moves through the ages of how much was taken away from her when both her loving adoring parents died that fateful day.
Years of being alone and only relying on myself became second nature, like a second skin.
Reading Austin's own words how that car accident he was responsible for with half pint a passenger whilst he was driving under the influence is what broke him, the fact that he could've killed her, he was the one the boys trusted to look after her whilst they were all away in college, that accident killed a big part of him, he was never the same after that, needing anything to numb his brain, kill the pain of the scars left over from the accident.
Being disowned by his parents
Moving around town by town, getting high, getting laid, working dead end jobs, no emotional attachments, no commitments.
Chapter 13 the very first tears start dripping..Austin is killing me, such a lost, broken soul, always growing up in the shadows of his best mates the good Ol' boys.
The only time when we saw the old Austin make a re-appearance was when he first set eyes on Briggs, she was his undoing.
This girl..THIS F#CKING GIRL..Was going to be the end of me.
A LOVE so TOXIC it could end up DESTROYING them
No one has ever made me feel the way you do. You have the ability to bring me to my knees with just a look. You’re my drug, my addiction.
Having her in my arms felt like heaven and home.
The connection we shared was like nothing I had
ever experienced before.
As if she was made for me.
Only me.
You gave me a reason to start living again instead of just surviving.
MY THOUGHTS
Such a bittersweet feeling having this in my hands, the woohooo I'm finally reading it, that was my high, then the low of knowing that this is the final conclusion to the series. BUT gods she's really left the best for the last, she's lit that detonator and is definitely going out with a bang with this one.
Each book this author writes just gets better and better, this book is no exception I can honestly say this one here has claimed me, broken me and slowly put me back together, the roller coaster of feels that claimed me as soon as I started it didn't stop pulling like a rope tethered to my heart until I'd closed out of the last page..
"M. Robinson" in exchange for an honest review..Thank you!!

***5 "You're my girl!" stars***
Another one heart wrecking story from Mrs. Robinson's pen!!!
This story was sooo sad, so emotional, so frustrating... at least for me!!!
Here we had to deal with a tortured hero who was inevitable that he would have a questionable end!!!
A hero that run away from everything he knew and who he created a new home in the form of a girl...
But there were demons that lurking between them in the form of an addiction and that fact wrecked them... And us, as well!!!
This was the story of Austin, the younger of Good Ol' Boys and Briggs, a damaged girl whose story we learned in here!!!
"We were destined.
Whether we wanted to be or not.
It was fate.
We were fate."
Austin was a different kid that he always trying to find his place on the world and his place among the Good Ol' Boys...
He was the younger and he was fighting always to earn a place among the boys...
He, as the rest of them, loved fiercely their Half-pint and i think that in some point, he got confused!!!
He had a hidden talent and he knew where he wanted to go after school, but his parents were having an opposite opinion and his dreams broke down before they even begin...
And then came the car accident that he and Alex almost lost their lives and Austin changed forever...
"I never felt accepted, I never felt good enough, and that's what killed me the most. That's what ate away at me, piece by piece."
He couldn't handle the things as he used to do before the accident and the pain inside of him was unbearable, so he let himself follow a very difficult path...
He was suffocating in his life and his relationship with the boys was uptied, especially with Lucas...
So, one day, he just snapped and he left everything behind him...
He traveled around the States and he was trying to survive, but something was missing...
Until he found her...
"I saw something familiar in her eyes, something I had always seen in mine, reflecting back at me.
Pain.
A raw and dark painful ache, exactly like the pain I had been carrying around my whole life.
I felt it in my skin, in my heart, and in my soul that this girl was different.
She was like a diamond, smooth but with sharp edges. Our lips touched ever so lightly the entire time.
I knew right then and there…
This girl.
This. Fucking. Girl.
Was going to be the end of me."
Briggs witnessed a major loss at the age of six and from that moment her life changed drastically...
Her uncle took her under his protection, but he was a cruel man with shady past and present...
Her childhood wasn't the best and then one day her innocence were lost forever and she decided to become a part of her uncle's world... But with what cost???
And then one day, she met Austin and everything changed...
"I felt a pull towards him, like he was a piece of a puzzle that was missing from my life.
I knew something was brewing.
Something big. Important. Life-changing.
The way he looked at me, consumed me in ways I never thought possible. There was a predatory, yet captivating glare in his eyes.
As if I was the answer to every question he ever had.”
Their connection was instant but it took some time before they will be able to be together and then everything changed for once again in Austin's life...
He walked into a different world with so many temptations in there...
His only stability was Briggs and his love for her, but even this big love couldn't save him from the nasty path that he was walking down and in a way Briggs was the one to blame...
"No one has ever made me feel the way you do. You have the ability to bring me to my knees with just a look. You’re my drug, my addiction."
"The day you walked into my life I started living again. You gave me a reason to start living again instead of just surviving."
Briggs felt the weight of the blaming upon her shoulders and because Austin was her only home, she decided to change their lives but it was already late...
They both did unforgettable mistakes that tore them apart mentally but their love was strong enough to keep them together...
But Austin's addiction was growing up more and more and some things that was happening to them weren't helping the problem, they just added fuel in the flames!!!
“What if I’m not that person anymore? What if the man that you love so fucking much is gone, baby? What if I can’t reach deep enough to find him anymore?” {Austin}
"Loving an addict was like being on a roller coaster with no seat belt on.
You had no idea when it was going to turn. You’re just confused, disoriented, fearful, praying...
All you could do was hang on for dear life and hope that it didn’t kill you." {Briggs}
Will they survive from all this testament???
Will Briggs have the patience to change Austin's destructive ways or will she snap and run away to save herself???
Will Austin fight his addiction and become a new person in the name of love???
Will he manage to stop himself for turning in the only solution when the things get ugly for him and Briggs???
Will they have their HEA???
"Having her in my arms felt like heaven and home.
The connection we shared was like nothing I had ever experienced before.
As if she was made for me.
Only me."
Austin was a sensitive, kind and sweet boy who lost his way...
He was very thoughtful, very caring, but as the years were passing by i was feeling so sad for his behalf...
He was weak inside and when was happening something that he couldn't handle, he was turning himself in drugs until he became an addict...and the worst thing was that he couldn't see it!!!
He started with pain killers for his pains that he was having since the accident but at the end, he got into hard stuff and he was self destructing!!!
The only thing that was keeping him sane was Briggs and the love that they were sharing, but sometimes that wasn't enough!!!
I can't explain to you how much sadness i was feeling for him during his story!!!
"I’m always alone, Briggs, even when you’re near me. I can promise you the world. I can promise you a life. But even in my dreams, baby, I’m haunted.”
"My demons were emerging from the darkness, sitting right on my goddamn shoulder, whispering, lurking, and fucking waiting."
Briggs had her own cross to bare... She was lost as much as Austin were... She was trying to find her place in world... Unlike Austin, she was forced into this shitty life...
Yep, she was using too, but she had measures... and when Austin got deeper and deeper into this life, she pulled out with the hope that he will follow, but her wish never got true...
I won't lie to you, in a big part, i was accusing her for Austin's fate...
Because of her, he got deeper and deeper in this life, but i could recognise her big love for him and that she did everything that she could to pull him out of the hole that he was crawling...
The bad thing is that she made some bad choices that made Austin to seek solution in things that he shouldn't have to...
And i totally understand her near to the end... She had to be cruel, for Austin to wake up and find his old self... Tough love!!!
"“I hate you so damn much! I hate your apologies! I hate your excuses! Your lies! Your fucking love! Especially because I can’t stop loving you!
And I want to… I want to stop loving you so fucking bad it hurts everywhere inside of me. Especially here.” She put her hand against her heart.”
"It physically pained me to watch the emotional detachment of everything I said to him. All the facts within the lies he was telling himself.
Like time got lost for him. The days. The months. The years.
As if the drugs had taken control of his very being. Including his heart.
My Austin disappeared more and more as time went on.
I couldn’t find him through the haze. Not yesterday. Not today. I could only pray for tomorrow. A new day may bring back the old Austin.
All I had left was wishful thinking."
Austin and Briggs were fitting so good together...
Their love was epic, but at the same time, it was... toxic!!!
They were hurting and destroying each other, even though that they were the only person for the other that made them feel like home!!!
It was so hard to witness their story... It was cruel but sweet, it was tough but easy to love each other, it was so damn harsh!!!
I liked the fact that even though all those ups and downs, their relationship was solid!!! Until it wasn't anymore...
Sometimes, love is not enough to save someone!!!
"Love was blinding and at times cruel. You only saw what you wanted to see, what you so desperately desired. Only picturing the good, never the bad."
"You’re my home, Daisy. You’ve always been my home, my heart, and my soul. I didn’t start living until I met you. I’m so fucking sorry, baby.”
As for the rest of guys???
I will say that they made terrible mistakes with Austin and that fact tear them apart...
But i liked that at the end, all of them (Plus Austin's parents!) pulled their heads out of their asses and did the right thing!!!
The Good Ol' Boys were back!!!!
And for once again, Lucas's mother letter wrecked me... In every book, this woman's presence was speaking into my heart and my tears couldn't stop running down my face!!!
But now, i finished this series and honestly, I don't know how i'm supposed to live without my lovely boys, their half-pint and their women...
Yep, i liked the idea to have a story about Martinez, but damn!!!
I will miss my boys!!!
"We both wanted to get lost in the moment.
Lost in each other.
The love that lived in our souls.
The only place she ever existed."

ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review
In this final installment of The Good Ol’ Boys Series, M. Robinson delivers a love story that is so heartbreakingly raw, poignant, devastating, beautiful and gripping. In the three previous books of the series, readers are given a glimpse of Austin, the youngest member of The Good Ol’ Boys but in this consuming installment, M. Robinson shows her readers the real Austin. The friend. The son. The lost one. The liar. The broken man. The lover. The drug addict.
Crave Me hands down has to be me my favorite book of the series. M. Robinson went beyond a typical love story. She showcased a love story between two broken individuals who had to endure the hardships, the ups and downs and everything in between in order to see what truly matters to them. This is a love story not meant to be easy. This is a love story that proves LOVE HEALS. A love between two imperfect individuals who loved every imperfection and saw beauty, hope, and trust within one another.
Addiction. That one word has already a stigma associated with it. Toss in drug addiction, then you are well aware of the downward spiral of destruction, devastation, and chaos this disease can affect the people you love and cherish the most. And for Austin, his drug addiction was his craving. His need. His demons. And most importantly, it was his salvation. So how can an addiction be a salvation? Well the answer is simple...Briggs.
They say love is beautiful. But LOVE has many different facets and sides. Love can also be consuming. Addicting. Blinding. And love can be destructive. And for Austin loving Briggs was all that and so much more. Their love was everything and yet it was their downfall. So how can a love so toxic be the one drug that is needed for Briggs and Austin to survive?
While I don’t want to rehash or spoil this book for the readers, I will just say one thing, M. Robinson wrote a story that was meant to be utterly addicting and consuming. This story was meant to put you to the ringer. To break your heart. But most importantly, this story was meant to piece every shattered piece of your heart and make you see the whole picture. Love is not meant to be easy. To love means to survive. To have hope. To fill in the missing void. And M. Robinson did that and so much more with this story. Crave Me is a story meant to be experienced since M.Robinson beautifully tackled a love story with the sensitive matter of addiction and loving someone who is addicted. Yes, this book is filled with angst, heartbreak, love, passion, and grit. But most importantly this book is filled with realistic elements of life.
As I try to wrap up my thoughts on Crave Me, I will just say this M. Robinson will douse her readers with all the FEELS. Yes, you will cry, get mad, and be screaming WTF but in the end, you will be left with a sense of peace and happiness. So if you are looking for a book that will hold you hostage with M. Robinson’s addicting prose and characters, then I urge you to read Crave Me and prepare yourself for one heartbreakingly profound love story. They say love is like a drug and so be prepared to get addicted to Austin and Briggs.

Genre: Contemporary Romance
Type: Standalone Book 4 of The Good Ol’ Boys series
POV: First Person - Dual
Rating:
Austin Taylor grew up with loving and supportive family and friends. But deep down inside, he never felt belonged. A life changing incident made him even more unsettled and it became the push for him to leave everything he knew behind.
Daisy Martinez shed her old self and became Briggs the day her life was upended. Unceremoniously thrown into the wolves, she learned to survive the only way she could. She craved something more but Austin might prove to be more than she's willing to take.
Austin has been my favorites since Book 1 because his story came with a huge potential of pain and heartbreak. This book was not as painful as I wanted but I still enjoyed it.
In past books we know Austin suffered from addiction. This book revealed how a coping method became the catalyst if his spiral down that affected people around him.
I never liked Briggs before. Partly because she's an outsider, whereas the rest of the couples in the series were connected to each others. But I ended up loving her the most out of all the heroines because she's a novelty.
This led to my issue with Austin. I felt like I didn't learn anything new about him. His addiction issue seemed overplayed which prevented me from neither empathizing nor demonizing him.
I really enjoyed learning about Briggs' background. Her story was so different from the rest of the characters in the series. I like that the author recapped the timeline in previous books, which would be helpful for people who chose to read it as a standalone. But for me who followed the series from the beginning it felt repetitive at times with the inclusion on non significant scenes to the current story. So having Brigg's story was a breath of fresh air.

Type: Standalone Book 4 of The Good Ol’ Boys series
POV: First Person - Dual
Rating:
Austin Taylor grew up with loving and supportive family and friends. But deep down inside, he never felt belonged. A life changing incident made him even more unsettled and it became the push for him to leave everything he knew behind.
Daisy Martinez shed her old self and became Briggs the day her life was upended. Unceremoniously thrown into the wolves, she learned to survive the only way she could. She craved something more but Austin might prove to be more than she's willing to take.
Austin has been my favorites since Book 1 because his story came with a huge potential of pain and heartbreak. This book was not as painful as I wanted but I still enjoyed it.
I saw something familiar in her eyes, something I had always seen in mine, reflecting back at me. Pain.
In past books we know Austin suffered from addiction. This book revealed how a coping method became the catalyst if his spiral down that affected people around him.
I never liked Briggs before. Partly because she's an outsider, whereas the rest of the couples in the series were connected to each others. But I ended up loving her the most out of all the heroines because she's a novelty.
This led to my issue with Austin. I felt like I didn't learn anything new about him. His addiction issue seemed overplayed which prevented me from neither empathizing nor demonizing him.
“What if I’m not that person anymore? What if the man that you love so fucking much is gone, baby? What if I can’t reach deep enough to find him anymore?”
I really enjoyed learning about Briggs' background. Her story was so different from the rest of the characters in the series. I like that the author recapped the timeline in previous books, which would be helpful for people who chose to read it as a standalone. But for me who followed the series from the beginning it felt repetitive at times with the inclusion on non significant scenes to the current story. So having Brigg's story was a breath of fresh air.
Crave Me is a story of individuals battling their demons and learning to make choices for themselves for the greater good.

"It was never a fucking problem until it was."
I must confess that it was the cover of Crave Me that caught me attention. Then I read an excerpt. That's all it took, I was hooked. I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. I had never read M. Robinson before, but many of my friends have, and I was repeatedly encouraged to give her a try. It was fun to share my experience on social media along with others that were also taking a ride on the Good Ol' Boys express at the same time. It was a memorable experience that will stick with me for a long time. It was darker than I expected, taking longer to resolve than I anticipated. I experienced a multitude of emotions as the author began at the end, before taking me back to the beginning, and then dragging me through the painful experiences that shaped the lives of the characters that I would get to know intimately over time.
And yes, I meant drag. I was reluctant to go where she took me at times. I wanted to rewrite the events that occurred, wishing that I could whisper in Austin's ear and convince him to make different choices. I was frustrated with him. I was disappointed in him. I was heartbroken for him. I was angry at him. I was so in love with him. He was so broken, but so beautiful. So weak when I wanted him to be strong. So soft when I wanted him to be hard (not like that, get your mind out of the gutter!). So talented and sensitive. So willing to fight for others, but not for himself. He didn't get there alone. We are all products of our experiences, and he suffered some major disappointments. Letting go of a dream is hard to do. I mentally encouraged him, endlessly forgiving him again and again when he failed to be perfect. I yearned and strained and hoped and cursed. And when that didn't work, I cried
Briggs is my hero. I wanted to adopt her. I wanted to hold her. I wanted to comfort her. I wanted to rewrite her story too. Just because it was painful to read and I wanted to spare her from having to go through the experiences that made her into the badass that she eventually became. She deserved so much more than life dished out. I wanted so desperately for Austin to be the man that she needed to bring some light into her life. But where would he find light when he lived in darkness? But somehow, he did. "He made me appreciate the beauty within the darkness."
Somehow, even though they both lived in darkness, they found each other. And unfortunately it was not a fairytale experience that magically solved all of their problems. It was a long painful journey that would redefine their futures and make them reevaluate their priorities. They were forced to make decisions that they would have to live with and to make promises that they couldn't keep. They would have to let go of what they needed and to accept what they couldn't change. They had to accept loss and accept help when they came to the end of themselves and had nowhere to turn. Life kicked them hard and made it difficult to fight back. It was easier to numb their pain with addictions. But who said life was easy, right? They say that love conquers all, but they are wrong. Sometimes even the most powerful love is not enough to slay the demons that hold you hostage, trapped in your own hell.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't solve their problems for them. I encouraged them, cried for them, and yelled at them. Nothing worked. I had to wait and weep, whisper and shout, sigh and shrug... and wait some more. It was an agonizingly long wait, but worth it. I have no fingernails left, and my glass is empty, but my heart is full. I will most definitely be spending more time with M. Robinson in the future, once I forgive her. I may need counseling.

So much to say, that the words are a huge jumble in my brain. What are my thoughts on Crave Me? Many words come to mind, but stunning, enthralling, heartbreaking, bittersweet, funny, super hot and sexy, angsty, mind-blowing are just a few. I want to shout my love for Austin from the rooftop but do not want to give anything away. Everything about him just spoke to me in a very profound way. Briggs was the woman who also won my heart. Together, they were such a force, that I had no choice but to feel, live and breathe every single spec of their story. M Robinson has just taken up residence in my number 1 favourite author spot. My regard and praise for her knows no bounds. I am in awe of her raw talent, creativity, the wild and raunchy imagination, and just the whole style of writing she produces. This will be a book I will read again and again. The whole series is one I will read again and again. I love this series so much, that I have bought Forbid Me on Audible and listen to it while I work. Just cannot get enough of M's Good Ol' Boys. I wish I had some of my very own.

I had many different emotions during this book. I was beta for it so I got it in bits and pieces and I think that is a good thing or I would have died of cardiac arrest. The ups and downs, the angst was at an all time high.
There were some things that happened that made me want to break my kindle,
run it over, back and forth!
and stand in the middle of the street yelling at the top of my lungs!!
Yup that was me that was all me. But she held strong and gave us something that she should be proud of. She took a subject of addiction and made you see if from an addicts side, an enablers side.
You sit back and take in the beauty that is hidden at the bottom. You sit back and watch the beauty that a friendship turns into. You sit back and see the beauty that is their love. Because in the end wha they do is they crave each other.

Do you ever stop and wonder why we read books? If I think about it, I read for a bit of an escape. A job that is not exactly exciting and 3 kids mean I need to get my kicks somewhere right? What could be better than picking up a book and letting it take me away for a few hours? But is that it? well for me I really want a book to make me feel. Whether that’s a happy feeling or a sad one. I want a reaction. Well, Crave Me certainly managed that.
Ideally you would have read the previous books in this series before starting Austins book. It’s not a requirement but it certainly gives some background on his thoughts and feelings early on. His relationship with the rest of the Good ol’ Boys and their half pint play a part in who he becomes. Like I said it isn’t a necessity but it’s something to consider.
Now, I’ve waffled on enough. Time to actually review this book. Right from the first page it’s like a kick in the teeth. The only words I could find express my thoughts at the beginning were ‘Brutally beautiful’. Not only were Austin’s actions painful to read, they were also so beautifully described. How do you make an addict shooting up in a drug den beautiful? I have no idea. M is just that good with words.
That kick in the teeth at the beginning does not let up. Following both Austin and Briggs from one heart ache to the next weighed heavy on me as a reader. I physically felt the weight of it all. The burning urge to cry was there the whole way through. This one will be added to the small list of books that had me in varying degrees of tears throughout.
There isn’t any need to go into detail about the storyline. Austin is a drug addict and Briggs plays her part in how his life becomes what it does. What really struck me was how their lives started in such opposite ways. Austin had his family and friends and chose to walk away. He went from having the potential to have it all, to throwing it all away. His descent into addiction came at the same time as Briggs was attempting to drag her life away from that world. Her having been a part of that seefy word since she was devastingly young age. Their paths crossing had a huge effect on each other lives. Bettering Briggs in one way and probably ruining Austins in another.
I have a family member that is an addict, in a much similar way to Austin in fact. For me this book was terrifyingly honest. There were huge parts of this book where I hated both of these characters. Their actions and words turned my stomach. The struggle they endure is heart breaking but the fact remains the choices they make suck.
Reading that back I’m not giving you much incentive to read that am I? Well, like I said at the beginning, I want to feel when I read. This book gave me nothing but feels. Yes, the majority of those feelings were not good ones. They were gut wrenching. But there are also amazingly tender, loving moments. No matter what else happens in this book, no matter your opinion on what they say and do, you cannot deny that they love each other. That once in a life time, soul deep love.
I urge everyone to read this book. Even if it’s a step out of your comfort zone. Take a chance. It is so worth it. It takes a huge amount of talent and guts to take a storyline like this and write it in such a beautiful way.
My words cant do enough Justice to M.Robinsons work.

WARNING: Tissues needed, a new box for sure!!!
When you think about love at first sight, most people will say it is not possible. Austin and Briggs will prove then wrong in every way possible. When you take a boy who never feels like he fits in and put him with a girl that blames herself for everything wrong with her life, you are going to get an explosive love story to end all love stories.
The epic roller coaster ride of this relationship takes your heart on a journey of love and hate, forgiveness and regret. M Robinson will rip your heart out and stomp on it with everything you never thought possible in one book. There are parts that will have you questioning your morals, questioning your sense of family, and asking yourself if you were in that position, what would you do?
I don't think I have cried so much while reading a book in so long, or ever for that matter. I wanted to hug and hurt Ms. Robinson at the same time. If I could give this 10 stars, I would in a heartbeat.

Ahh... The last of the good ol'boys... You know what they say... Save the best for last... And let me tell you.. Austin..he's the just about the most imperfectly perfect book boyfriend you could ever dream of... And Briggs... Despite it all she's really on tough cookie... I love her...
Just like the other good ol Boys... Austin is definitely stubborn and smart mouthed and purely loveable... Despite his demons...he falls hard and loves harder... We should all be so lucky...
Austin and Briggs are amazing characters that really made me feel what each of them were going thru.. Indiivdually and as a couple... It was an emotional rollercoaster ride and well worth the ride! One minute I'm on pins and needles... Next on cloud 9...then BAM!? Like seriously WTFreak!? Emotions were all over...this book will definitely tug at your heart... More like rip it out then try to shove back in... But so worth it!!!
Ahhhhh...y'all are going to FLOVE this book!!!
True to M. Robinson word... She is the Queen of Angst...
Favorite quote...
"Austin you're addicted to drugs...I'm addicted to you and our love is f*cking toxic"

What a rollercoaster this has been. Worth every one of these 5 stars! Crave Me
This is the author's best work to date in my opinion. Normally I have to read at least a few chapters before that magical moment happens and I fall in love with a book's heroes... Austin and Briggs stole my heart by the end of chapter one. I have smiled, cried, gotten angry and had my heart ripped out of my chest...
Our hero's character, Austin, is so well written that you feel every one of his emotions... his longing, his passion, his anxiety and desperation... He is a born protector and when he loves, he loves with every fibre of his being. He is brave but is also weak... he looses himself in his addiction even though he tries desperately to break free... I wanted to scream at him, punch him, hug him... Loving so deeply was his Achilles Heal but in the end, it was also what helped him overcome his demons. I spent a good part of this book being angry at Austin, even disappointed at times... but I never once not loved him. As the words jumped off the page, I fell more and more in love with this character and his journey towards finally getting what he always wanted.
Briggs is a girl that is forced to grow up too quickly in a world where beauty and compassion doesn't exist. She learns to face her own demons and emotions head on and proudly displays them on her body. Some may think she hides behind her tattoos but she wears them like a warrior does his armour - with pride. Briggs is such an amazing character; a strong young woman who stands tall with her head held high and tells the world to F-Off because its taken everything from her and yet, she is still standing. She lives in an ugly world which forces her to become what some may consider evil...She is made to make decisions that nobody should be forced to make... All along, her heart is desperate for love, family, peace...
Their story hits you like a hurricane. Their love is so intense that it consumes them to the point that it is dysfunctional at times. But, it is also pure and true and we all know that true love conquers all demons.
So many emotions, so many moments where your heart is in your throat but you cannot stop reading. So many twists and turns that leave you stunned.... The book is fast paced, grips you from the very beginning and doesn't let go until the end. What I am saying, you will be thinking and talking about this book for a long time.
M. Robinson has not only given us an incredible H/h. Her secondary characters are just as interesting and complex. It leaves you wanting to get to know them all better....
M Robinson worked her magic once again and it's an amazing book and a hell of a way to finish The Good Ol' Boys series.

Title: Crave Me
Author:M. Robinson
Series: The Good Ol’ Boys #4
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: 5/10/16
Crave Me book #4 in “The Good Ol’ Boys” series by M. Robinson was a 5++ star read.
Romance, Ugly cry, Hot sex, Hot alpha male, Sexy female
As I got older, it was harder to control my emotions, my anger most of all.
OMG, what a heart wrenching and emotionally exhausting rollercoaster of a read.
M. Robinson has once again captured my heart, tore it out, stomped on it and put it back together again with “Crave Me”. Once I started I couldn’t put it down.
His eyes glazed over as he followed the movement of my tongue. He wanted to kiss me and I so desperately wanted him to.
This is Austin and Daisy’s (Briggs) story told in alternating POV’s.
The story starts with Austin and Daisy as children and we follow them through their journey until they meet at a party in Miami and it is an instant connection. Both Briggs and Austin have had such heartbreaking events happen in their lives that they are trying to forget. Austin has become a transient traveling and working odd jobs to make it by and is searching for Briggs. Briggs is working for her uncle traveling all over the world.
Having her in my arms felt like heaven and home. The connection we shared was like nothing I had ever experienced before. As if she was made just for me. Only me.
Fate of course steps in once again and brings Briggs literally to Austin’s door. Austin ends up living with Briggs and gets drawn into her very dangerous world. Austin refuses to take their relationship to the next level until Briggs tells him her real name. He was a very strong man to hold out as long as he did, but I’m sure it was well worth the wait. I loved the revealing of her name, so sweet.
Watching Austin spiral out of control with his addiction and turn into someone else was so scary. As things progress there is a twist that I didn’t see coming that really broke my heart. This event would forever change their relationship, especially once Brigg’s secret is revealed. How will Austin deal with the secret?
As we go through the years with these two we see so many more heart wrenching things that they have to face. Will Briggs be able to pull Austin from the Darkness and get him the help he needs? Will they be able to move forward from it?
“Words could cut you open like knives, and I knew I just sliced away a huge part of her heart with what I said. I couldn’t take it back. As much as I wanted to, the damage was already done.”
Be ready to be consumed by Crave Me, you will not want to put it down once you get started. Just when you think things are finally going to work for these two another twist comes into their life. I am emotionally exhausted after reading Crave Me and I am still getting teary eyed when I think about the hell these two went through. M. Robinson really draws you in with her writing. The sex was hot and the twists were something else. I have to say that I love all of the boys but this is my most favorite in the series. I also enjoyed seeing the rest of the Good Ol’ Boys and their ladies. Of course Crave Me can be read as a stand alone but I highly suggest you get all of them. We also end in a huge cliffhanger that left me thinking WTF just happened, I need to know what happened! You're killing me M., I seriously have to wait until August? We are left with a lead into Alejandro’s story coming out August 23rd. Thank you once again M. Robinson for another freaking awesome read.

Both Briggs and Austin have had such heartbreaking events happen in their lives that they are trying to forget. Austin has become a transient traveling and working odd jobs to make it by and is searching for Briggs. Briggs is working for her uncle traveling all over the world.
Having her in my arms felt like heaven and home. The connection we shared was like nothing I had ever experienced before. As if she was made just for me. Only me.
Fate of course steps in once again and brings Briggs literally to Austin’s door. Austin ends up living with Briggs and gets drawn into her very dangerous world. Austin refuses to take their relationship to the next level until Briggs tells him her real name. He was a very strong man to hold out as long as he did, but I’m sure it was well worth the wait. I loved the revealing of her name, so sweet.
Watching Austin spiral out of control with his addiction and turn into someone else was so scary. As things progress there is a twist that I didn’t see coming that really broke my heart. This event would forever change their relationship, especially once Brigg’s secret is revealed. How will Austin deal with the secret?
As we go through the years with these two we see so many more heart wrenching things that they have to face. Will Briggs be able to pull Austin from the Darkness and get him the help he needs? Will they be able to move forward from it?
“Words could cut you open like knives, and I knew I just sliced away a huge part of her heart with what I said. I couldn’t take it back. As much as I wanted to, the damage was already done.”
Be ready to be consumed by Crave Me, you will not want to put it down once you get started. Just when you think things are finally going to work for these two another twist comes into their life. I am emotionally exhausted after reading Crave Me and I am still getting teary eyed when I think about the hell these two went through. M. Robinson really draws you in with her writing. The sex was hot and the twists were something else. I have to say that I love all of the boys but this is my most favorite in the series. I also enjoyed seeing the rest of the Good Ol’ Boys and their ladies. Of course Crave Me can be read as a stand alone but I highly suggest you get all of them. We also end in a huge cliffhanger that left me thinking WTF just happened, I need to know what happened! You're killing me M., I seriously have to wait until August? We are left with a lead into Alejandro’s story coming out August 23rd. Thank you once again M. Robinson for another freaking awesome read.

Crave Me will mess with your emotions. I am a avid read and only a few authors have been able to make me cry because their character were so emotional I could feel their pain and found my self crying. But M Robinson is one of those authors and this book is one of those books. I found almost every emotion reading this book.
I have read all of the books in the Good ol' Boys series and this one by far is my favorite. This book has some scenes that may not be for everyone, and it will be a book that you will not want to put down.
If you have been reading all the books in the series you will know that this book is about Austin and Briggs. We will see the pain that they are living thru from their POV's. Austin always felt a little left out, not quite one of the boys. When he left he didn't know what he was looking for, but when he saw her with purple hair and tattoos he felt drawn to her like nothing before. The only clue he had was a dead end. What would it take to find the woman that took his breath away? And would finding her help fix all the pain he had?
Like the rest of the books in this series Crave Me can be read as a stand alone, but would be enhanced if read along with the rest of the books as they build off each other's. But reader beware, make sure to have plenty of tissues one hand.

Holy Cow! M. Robinson has done it again. She kept me captivated by continuously ripping my heart out and stomping all over it, and I loved every minute of it. It's hard to rave about this story without spoiling it so I'll say this.....have a large block of time to dedicate to this book, you won't want to put it down. Keep the tissues handy and get ready to have your feelings fucked.

CRAVE ME.....
What a perfect title for this book!!!
Mitch McKersie.....
What a perfect Model for this book cover!!!
M. Robinson...
What a perfect Author!!!
She is the Queen of sucking you into her books. Making you fall in love with her Characters, then she loves to rip your heart out, stomp on it, not just once...not even twice...she loves doing it throughout the whole freaking book!!! Her books should come with warnings telling you that you will need several boxes of Kleenexes and some Xanax!!! lol #KiddingNotKidding
But if she didn't do all the above to you while reading this book, it would not be the Fantastic book that it is!!! I believe I said this in one of my last reviews of the Good Ole Boys series.... I can't even dream of falling more in love with these boys in each of their own books, but yet each book that she writes and I read about their story, I fall that much more in love with that boy, and Crave Me is Austin's story. And I freaking love his story the most!!! And I can not believe I am saying this cuz I love them all, more and more each book, but this one is just DAyyyuummm!!!!
Sooo.. Again, this is Austin and Briggs story. We got a glimpse into their relationship in the last book. And now we get to read about how they each have their own troubled pasts, how they love, fight, make up and Crave Each other!!! This book is such a roller coaster of Highs and Lows, Push and Pulls, its just sooo hard to put it all into words and not spoil it for anyone.
So I am going to leave my review here, not say another word.. Just know that this book should definitely be your next read and you can pick it up on May 10th 2016!!!
I gave this book 5 Crave Me Stars!!!! xxoo to you M. Robinson!! Freaking Fantastic book!!! : )

Angst.
Heartbreak.
Love.
More heartbreak.
Crave Me is by far my favorite of The Good 'Ol Boys' series. Austin. My beautiful, broken man. You can't help but fall completely in love with him. Briggs, you are strong, you are brave, and you are badass.
There are twists and turns and OMG moments in Crave Me that you won't see coming. Make sure you set aside the time to read this one, because once you start, you won't be able to stop!!!

The Best of the Series
Crave Me is the best of the Good ol' Boys series in my opinion. While I liked Complicate Me, I felt that the following two books were too similar to that formula. It was time to switch it up which M. Robinson did this time around. Our leading characters didn't pine after one another for years, they didn't do the break up and get back together thing, these two stuck together no matter what detriment it caused to either one of them. Which isn't always a good thing.
I never felt accepted, I never felt good enough, and that's what killed me the most." ~ Austin
We start off with two broken souls, so naturally all you want is something good for them. Yeah, not gonna happen. We learned early on that Austin was a bit of an outcast in this Good Ol' Boys group (a term that can almost be used as a drinking game in the first half of the book) as the youngest boy, he never felt up to par with the others. Couple these feelings with the family troubles at home, and you end up with one messed up kid growing into one messed up man.
"I wanted to get to know more of him. I wanted to get to know everything. And that scared me more than anything." ~ Briggs
They say "I don't go looking for trouble. Trouble usually finds me." And that's exactly what Briggs is dealing with. Having enough drama of her own for a lifetime, something about Austin calls to her, she feels she needs this guy and has only just met him. Scary, but with a life like hers, a connection like this isn't something she can let get away.
"You gave me a reason to start living again instead of just surviving." ~ Austin
So off we go on the very bumpy Austin and Briggs ride. They have super high highs and the lows are crazy out of this world. These are really just kids playing adult for many years, making tragic mistakes. There are no Oak Island friends or family this time. It's just Austin and Briggs navigating the world under the thumb of another, trying to figure out what direction they should actually be going.
"Austin was the first place I ever called home. He was also the first person to ever destroy it." ~ Briggs
And what a great job of that he did. Again, this book is grittier than the others which made it stand out to me. I needed something more from the series and this was it. Along with a fantastic parlay into the next series. Written from dual points of view, Crave Me can be read as a stand alone. All the characters and backstories are quickly addressed, as well as flashbacks to bring a reader up to speed on who's doing what.

* Who are we punishing when knowly doing something that is going to destroy the people around us?
Austin and Briggs, definitaly the best was left for last in the Good Ol' Boys Series, Crave Me.
I fell in love with Austin and Briggs. Their story is dark, their story is light but at the end of the day their love is Toxic. They both have their own demons to deal with and their own pasts that punish them and decisions that will constantly haunt them.
Austin and Briggs's story will take you from the darkest of depts to the highest of highs. M Robinson toys with your emotions. She will rip your heart out, stomp on it, put it through a meat grinder and maybe, just maybe, she will put it back together again,
For me this book is the best one yet. A mass of emotions will be felt while reading Crave Me as M Robinson weaves her magic and bring us another best seller. She is definitely my favourite Contemporary Romance Author.

Austin's story is finally here! I suggest having a couple of boxes of tissues ready nearby because this is an ugly cry book. It is devastating,heartbreaking, and hopeful all rolled into one pretty little package. You heart will be shattered, put back together, shatter again, and fix multiple times.

This was my first book by M. Robinson but it certainly won't be my last. Austin and Briggs' story ripped my heart out from the very first sentence. The writing was exquisite and the story was gut wrenching. I'm a M. Robinson fan for life!

What I can say about Crave Me is just WOW. I couldn't wait to read this book, but knew it wasn't going to be an easy read for me. All I can say is this book is a rollercoaster of emotions, that leaves you in all kinds of a mess.
"No more I love you's. No more I promises. No more tomorrows. No. More. Austin."
This is the story of Austin and Briggs who came from two different worlds, but in so many ways had lots in common with one another you could never image they would. The chemistry these two had was off the charts at times, but a cloud was always over them together, that you never knew what was going to happen to them. As would anyone in Austin shoes, held lots things in until it got him to the place he only felt comfortable with. I can relate to everything Austin went through.
"Every memory, every moment, every life event brought me to this place in time where I was content and comfortable in my own skin. Finally, finding some solid ground to the rocky foundation that had always been placed beneath me."
The beginning of the story was slow for me, but when these two finally meet and started their friendship it took off from there with the journey they begun. These two had so much going on, but together from the start they built a lasting friendship that at times was toxic. Briggs was a smart woman who loved Austin, when she knew that things would get worse before they got better. This story is full issues that a lot of us are dealing with on a daily basis. I loved the secondary characters in this book, but also the storyline with some really HOT sexy scenes that made this story what it is. What I loved about Briggs that she was unique in her own way and truly owned who she was.
"I'm not proud of the things I've done. I'm more ashamed than anyone could possible ever know. I'm learning to forgive myself. I'm learning to forgive myself. I'm learning to love myself. And for the first time I'm here, wanting to get better for me. I want it. I need it. I deserve it."
All I can say is this book is worth buying and seeing what these two go through, but in the end love and happiness always wins in the end. I can say that Author M. Robinson has done it again and I can’t wait to see what she does next.

1st thing first…THIS BOOK IS LONG…many will be intimidated by that. But don’t be.
Every word that is written is necessary. The entire story behind who Austin and Briggs are is needed.
Briggs has a tortured soul. She has been blaming herself for things that were way beyond her control; these feels have led her to lead the life she leads. Many will condemn her but she did what she had to do to survive.
Austin lives the life that everyone wants. He comes from a wealthy family, has 2 parents who work hard to give him a good life. He has friends (The Good Ol' boys) who have his back and Alex, the one girl who always will be his friend, no matter what. But everything isn’t as it always what it seems. Austin has his own demons. And this book confronts them head on.
It’s raw, it real, it’s heartbreaking at times. I can honestly say at one point I was having (what I think were) heart palpitations. My heart stopped for a moment then began beating again…hard.
M. Robinson has taken a far too common reality and put it into this book. An upheaval of emotions will be felt. At times my heart was soaring for this couple and at other moments I wanted to die along with them as they hit the rock bottom of their relationship over and over again.
This story is about perseverance, love and the eternal need for friendship and forgiveness. But you can only say you are sorry so many times.
Don’t worry M. Robinson fans - there is plenty of the sexy, hot and steamy that we all have come to love from M. Robinson, but there is a serious side that she delves into head first with this book and the angst…it’s seriously off the charts in this book. #ReigningAngstQueen
Another amazing installment of the Good Ole Boys from M Robinson. I look forward to more Good Ol' Boys later this summer!

It is hard to put into words how much I loved this book and all of the emotions it made me feel. My words can not do this book justice. This is one of those books that stay with you for a long time after you read it. To say it made me cry is and understatement, at times I was crying so hard it was hard to read through the tears. At times I was emotionally devastated and drained. I loved this story because it made me feel so much and I felt like I personally knew Briggs and Austin. M.Robinson is such a talented author with the ability to make you feel so much, you can tell she puts her heart and soul into her writing. I love her books but this one is my favorite and I'm still recovering from Austin's story. Don't miss out on this book, it is a 5+ stars. I don't want to give out any spoilers, all I can say, is read it and feel it for yourself. It is part of the Good Ol' Boys series but it can be read as a stand alone. I was one of the lucky ones to be gifted a copy for a fair and honest review.
