Blog Tour ~ Losing Her by Mariah Dietz
.jpg)
Everything is new. The old no longer has a place here. Physical items are easy to replace. I'm constantly battling the ones that aren't.
Every thought and memory I have is stained.
By you.
You weren't even there for half of them.
How is she still present even though she left?
I can do this. I’m going to survive losing her.
*** This is the second book of the His Series, and it DOES end with a cliffhanger. The final book of the His Series, Finding Me, will release June 1, 2015***
What adds salt to my wounds is the fact that the world keeps turning. People continue waking up and going about their day. The sun rises and sets. I hear kids laugh and play, neighbors greet one another, and birds sing, and all the while I wonder how? How does the entire world appear to be surviving this nightmare of losing her?

Hank comes to visit in June. I still haven’t heard from Ace, and yet I’m still staying at my mom’s. I can’t leave. I can’t go back to that house. I’d moved rooms shortly after she left, and now reside in the guest room on the main floor. It’s better this way. There aren’t any pictures of her in here or random memories, like the one of her sitting on my bean bag chair when I was sick last summer. I also don’t have to face the window that looks out onto hers.
Hank knows that I know mom sent for him, hoping that he’d be able to “help” me. She of all people should know that having Hank around isn’t going to help me. He’s fucking married to the love of his life; he doesn’t have a fucking clue about the shit that I’m going through.
Of all things, Hank wants to go camping. I’m sure he thinks that getting away will help. He doesn’t understand that moving rooms has helped me realize I could go to Antarctica, and things wouldn’t change; the distance isn’t going to make the pain any less.
When we get camp set up, Hank opens a cooler and passes me a beer with a giant, shit-eating grin, like we’ve just overcome a huge hurdle. Deciding that I shouldn’t rain on his little douchebag tea party quite yet, I accept the beer with merely a grimace before taking a long swig. Before long, that single swig becomes a chug, and then a guzzle as I consume more alcohol than what three people probably should.
I sit by the fire and close my eyes. My mind automatically reaches back into that locked and forbidden drawer to pull out the image of Ace, striving to recall the sound of her laugh, the feel of her touch. It brings me back to our camping trip last September, when Jameson announced that was what he wanted to do for his birthday.
Heart beeaking, that is what sums up this book. I felt his heart shatter as he realized that the girl he loved was slipping away.
Okay ladies first off if you haven't read book 1 ~Becoming His, then stop what you are doing and read that first. You will get most for the story in this book but it will still be confusing because he goes between the past and the present. So skipping books.
Now on to this review.
Max is simply perfection in an imperfect situation. Mourning his loss in the only way he knows how. Everyone he loves leaves him, at least that's how he feels. When Ace left him he broke. Yes, I said that this book can be described as heart breaking, because you will feel the rawness of his emotions, your heart will pound with the memories, and your mind will be screaming at both Ace and Max to figure things out already.
Mariah has given us pure and raw emotion in this series but I think she pureed heralding this book. She really got to the heart of being left by the one you love. She described his isolation so well that you could picture Max losing himself in his drink, drowning out the memories of his heart.
Sad but beautiful and breath taking. This book is more than a romance, it is a perfection in rawness of love. An epic love that I can't wait to read more about. Is it June yet??? Love you to, Max

The Book Fairy Reviews's review
Five sisters, growing up they were the talk of the town. The Bosse Barbie doll sisters. They grew up next door to one of the hottest guys in their school but he never paid them attention. The youngest of the sisters, Harper or Ace as they called her wanted his attention. Max was unattainable as they grew up. Now as adults in college things are different, they are both noticing each other and the attraction can't be ignored.
If you are looking for a happy ending in this book you won't get it. What you will get is a glimpse of a love so strong that they couldn't cope with the intensity of the emotions surrounding them and they make choices that you will be down right pissed off at. With the love and loss and pain and happiness you get something worth it all. Mariah's writing is raw and pure. She gives her soul I. Her words and brings Ace and Max to life to the poi that you feel like Ace is sitting with you telling you her story of love and loss.
The Bosse and Miller's will forever be in your heart when you finish reading this book.
The Bosse and Miller's will forever be in your heart when you finish reading this book.
Mariah grew up in a tiny town outside of Portland, Oregon, where she spent the majority of her time immersed in the pages of books that she both read and created.
She has a love for all things that include her sons, good coffee, books, travel, and dark chocolate. She also has a deep passion for the stories she writes, and hopes readers enjoy the journeys she takes them on, as much as she loves creating them.
