{Blog Tour~Review & Giveaway} Can't Go Without by Angelisa Stone *****

“What’s the one thing you can’t go without?”

Tristan O'Donnell has money, women, and all the luxuries that cold hard cash can buy. Tristan's been sucking sunshine right from the monogrammed silver spoon his life was served up on since the day he was born. And quite frankly, he wouldn't want it any other way. He's his mother's pride and joy, his father's right-hand-man, and the envy of every guy around. All Tristan has to do is flash his million dollar smile, give his trademark wink, and he gets what he wants, when he wants, anytime he wants.

Leah Franchetti grinds her fingers to the bone; sculpting, painting, recreating treasures from trash—the very sentiment that defines her life. Her inventive, vindictive, lucrative, and seemingly unforgivable plan allowed her to shortcut her way into the life she always imagined, owning an art gallery, surrounding herself in the comfort of her passion and dreams.

When circumstances force Leah and Tristan to come face-to-face with the past and with Leah’s devious manipulation, truths come flooding forth, destroying those in the present and possibly jeopardizing both of their highly anticipated futures.

Can Tristan overcome Leah’s slander and deception—despite how dangerously close he comes to losing the one thing he can’t go without—money? Will Leah be forced to come clean, knowing she’ll have to live her life with the one thing she can’t go without—her dignity?

~REVIEW~ *****

Angelisa has done the impossible. She has made me fall for another O’Donnell and I actually LOVE this one way more than the first one. When I read Can’t Go Home *Book One* I fell completely in love with Dre, he was one amazing man. But after reading Can’t Go Without I am at a loss for words at how much I have fallen for the amazing Tristan O’Donnell. This book was worth every minute I put into reading it. I was consumed as soon as I started it and never wanted to put it down.

Tristan will make you hate him at first he seems like such a jerk, but omygosh the more you read the more you want to help this amazing man see just how amazing he is. I loved getting to know Tristan and Leah’s story. How they met and what led up to the accusations you learn about in the first book. Tristan is dreamy, confident, a bit cocky, and o so loveable. He will make you love him just from his cockiness. It’s one of those books that you just can’t get enough of because I wanted more even after finishing the book. So if you want to read a hot steamy book about a man who can capture your heart as soon as the pages start turning this is the book for you. Did I mention there is a scene in this book you MUST experience? I was like WOW; I want my own Tristan O’Donnell!! I am looking forward for more from this author and the O'Donnell's.

Who is Angelisa Stone?

Angelisa Stone is a typical Midwestern wife and mom, frazzled by parenting and housework, and overwhelmed with sports schedules, doctor appointments, and three-dimensional creative projects due “tomorrow morning.” Stone dreams of white sandy beaches, clear-blue waters, and Midori coladas in hand, but realizes that her loving husband and four not-so-perfect children are her real dreams-come-true. Writing and reading are her passions, and she hopes (and prays with her fingers tightly crossed) that readers will find enjoyment and escape through her words and characters. Stone's first novel, Can't Go Home, is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble now.
