TILT & JONAH

Like you loved me. Never like this in my life. Live in the little moments, right? Just like we promised. We have so many. The words hung between us, the crux of all our pain and tears and hesitation. But Kacey smiled—smiled—with brave tears sliding down her cheeks. We might not have months or years, but we have moments. This is my first real kiss. I loved you and was loved by you. You are the entire ocean in a drop. She is not merely an ocean. She is an entire universe. He was solid and real, while I was already dissipating into the air, particle by particle.

No matter how or who or when they fell in love. One of them succumbs to the easy way out by hiding away in numbness, the other one ignores all feelings and personal needs and wants, putting everyone else's first. Every character in this book is dealing with the heartbreak in a different way, even you as a reader feel pain and confusion by the possibilities of moving on. There is a beautiful quote in the book by Rumi that goes: I allowed the words, the pain, the hope, and the love to envelope me and take me on the beautiful journey that was the story of Theo and Kacey.

And is my hope that everyone who reads this books can feel the same. All In was magnificent, and I would recommend it to everyone. Don't be afraid; read it, enjoy it, and let yourself feel the love and the music deep inside you heart. Jun 07, Jeannine Allison rated it it was amazing Shelves: But we all love reading, so it's not super obnoxious, right?! Well I hope not, but I have a lot of freaking feelings about this amazing novel and duet, really. So I'm going to write this long ass review and hope people will take the time to read it ; I am so incredibly glad that I discovered Emma Scott at the beginning of the year.

How to Save a Life was my first novel by her, and I've fallen in love with every word I've read from her since. Her writing is amazing, but more than that her characters are some of my absolute favorite. Theo, Kacey, and Jonah from book one, were no different. This is not a standalone.

I mean, you could obviously try, I think you'd be able to figure everything out, but I don't know if it would have the same effect. Sweet Christ, this man. Theo is by far my favorite book boyfriend EVER. And if you know me at all, that is a bold statement. I'm extremely indecisive and have a hard time picking a favorite anything, but he without a doubt has ruined me for all other men. Theo is reeling from the death of Jonah, and for more reason than one. He had to contend with the loss of his brother, the fact that he's in love with Kacey, and he thinks he needs to stay strong for everyone around him.

Without him, we were going to fall apart. It was only a matter of time. He was the center of our goddamn universe and without him, we were starting to lose whatever pull it was that kept us in the same orbit. And every time he compared himself to Jonah, thinking he wasn't enough, my heart ached. He constantly felt like everyone looked at him and wished Jonah was there instead. To give the toast, to dance with our mother, with Dena, and especially with Kacey. Instead, she was in mine, my body absorbing her peace like a sponge soaked up water.

Part of me felt like a fraud. Like a con man. He wanted his father to accept him, his mother to move on, and Kacey to be happy again. But even though he was afraid of not being enough, he was never bitter. He just kept going, taking care of his mother and fighting for Kacey. He dropped everything for the two of them. If either one needed him, he was there. And he never asked Kacey to forget about Jonah. Or for her to love him more than his deceased brother. He just wanted her love. To live in her space, my razor sharing the same shelf as her toothbrush.

Our clothes tangling in the bedroom. Making breakfast together, then letting the food burn as I took her on the kitchen floor… Tell me what you want, I thought, glancing at her from the corner of my eye. Because I want everything. I'll love her enough. I'll love her enough she'll never want for it. I'll spend my entire life loving her and making her happy. And she will be happy. But what Theo didn't understand was that his power was in his simplicity. For example, when a drunk guy pawed at Kacey and the idiot said to Theo, "Sorry, man. And that's pretty much who Theo was, he was a guy who did little things without realizing the giant impact they had on others.

His respect, love, and devotion were unparalleled to anything I've read. He wasn't smooth one-lines, or long, poetic speeches, but he was perfect all the same. This line got Theo absolutely correct She's drowning in pain and alcohol, becoming an artist in New Orleans It was hard to read about her struggles, but it was amazing to watch her pull herself out from under it. She didn't always trust her strength She could say no to what would lead her down that self-destructive path again, and yes to what she needed in her life.

And she needed Theo. But when I let myself have that kind of hopeful vision, the only person I see is Teddy. Next minute I'm angry about being guilty. And in between all that, I want you to kiss me again too. And you know what else I loved? It wasn't ever a decision of whether or not they loved each other It was just other people and logistics that made them pause. I know at a glance some people won't like the sound of this duet; it's different from the typical romance and not quite normal, but that's what real life is sometimes. It sucks, but sometimes it's raw and painful. And these books explore that.

I need books that'll make me laugh, make me giddy, and make my heart-pound. I often need ones that take me out of reality, but sometimes I need ones to suck me right into and remind that it is to be human.

To love, to screw-up, to forgive, and most importantly, to not know what the fuck you're doing. So even though it's difficult sometimes, I need books like this. Books that show reality a little too well, that show that even reality can have all the things we love about the romance books that help us escape. This book is perfect because it's real. Because it's flawed and full of pain and heartache, but in the end there's love and hope. I hate that Jonah died.

I absolutely loved him and between this two books, my heart broke for him countless times. But death is a part of life, and what I loved about this duet was that it essentially gave everyone a happy ending, or the only happy ending reality really allows All three got that. Jonah and Kacey had a brilliant, short-lived love, proving that it's not the length of time but the depth of feelings, that make love real. Then Kacey and Theo fell in love, showing that the loss of one great love doesn't mean never loving again. I think Jonah prepared Kacey for Theo.

He taught her to love in a way Theo never could have; and not because Theo didn't love her or wasn't completely awesome I think I've demonstrated that I'm head over heels for him , but because he was too shut down and awkward with his own feelings. I know some would just like for Theo and Kacey to have an epic love story without all the complications of a "dead ex" it feels crass to say it that way because Jonah was so much more than that , but the reality is, their love wouldn't have existed without Jonah and his love for Kacey.

I think when Theo tells Kacey he loves her for the first time, it proves it: It was so simple it almost went straight past me. She needed Jonah to show her how to love, and she needed Theo afterwards to show her how to heal. Kacey says something toward the end that I think encompasses the entire duet and life: This book was wonderful. Life, for how much it sucks sometimes, is wonderful.

The sucky like death things don't negate that. There are some books that simply can't be explained although I certainly tried , they can only be experienced. This is one of them. I'm amazed by what Emma Scott has done here. As breathtaking as all her novels, as unforgettable as all the characters she writes, and as thought-provoking as her words are, this duet is on another level. It's obviously a must read if you read Full Tilt , and even though I know this will frighten some who use novels to escape, but I suggest you keep it in the back of your mind. It's a must-read, change-your-life type duet: I'm not particularly picky with that sort of thing, but I know others are, so just a little heads up!

And before I end this, like I haven't said enough It's messy and complicated and it's like a tattoo that never ends. A million needles inking something on your heart that isn't even beautiful. That very first feeling is where the truth lives. But other than that there's no one else. I believe in book one, Theo was described as a manwhore, but it's pretty clear in this one that it was mainly a front. And both Theo and Kacey go on other dates one time. But it's clear to both of them that they feel nothing on these dates.

They're constantly thinking about the other. We get two epilogues. One a few months after the final chapter. And the second three years later, where they are married with one daughter and another child on the way: But I already did. View all 34 comments. I freakin' loved it as much as i did the first book, but i couldn't shake away my sadness for Jonah's absence Unfortunately, I'm from those kind of girls that i can't get over things very soon, even in fictionary world Jonah's loss cost me a big part of my heart and i can't get over it!!!! I thought that i couldn't handle the things moving forward without Jonah, but i have to admit that Mrs Scott did a great job She let the heroes to grieve and to take the time that they will needed it to get over the heartbreaking and i love her for that!!!

She let me grieve with them and to accept that life can continue even with a big ache inside your heart!!! Thank you for that, Emma Scott!!! They were both lost and heartbroken They were grieving a big loss from their lives and each one of them was copying with that in a different way Theo was the rock for everyone, he tried to do his best for him and the rest of his family, even though that his heart was broken in tiny pieces Kacey run away from the memories and drown herself in a sea of booze and tears She couldn't forget and get over the love of her life Both of them had given a promise to Jonah, but it was impossible for them to keep it!!!

For a few, short moments that beautiful man was mine and I was his. Who gets a second chance like that? He wanted to keep his promise, but he didn't know how to do it since Kacey had disappeared And then, she found her and he stand beside her to save her from herself And then, he became her rock, her best friend, even if his heart was longing much more Maybe more than she needed me. She couldn't accept Jonah's absence She couldn't copy with the pain that was reeling inside of her She couldn't live with clarity in a world that he wasn't living in She wanted him to come back, but her wish never came true She knew that she had to let go of him and keep her promise to him, but it was so damn difficult And then Theo became her rock and she started to live again Come back to me.

And just before the dark consumed me, a whisper returned: I wanted to take it and hold on all night, but the dark kept me limp and motionless. Still, I knew Theo was there. And that was enough. Theo and Kacey were right together They were having big chemistry and they manage to heal each other They got out the best of each other and it was inevitable to end up together I really loved the way the things turned out, but a big why is still lingering inside of me Not because they forgot, but because of what Jonah could have and lose I adored the scene with Theo's father at the end I also hated Kacey's father He was from those kind of persons that they shouldn't have childrens For once again, i loved Dena, Oscar and Beverly I could understand their hesistations I was having them too!!!

They wrecked me, but they healed me They made me smile and they made me cry, but i will holding them forever close to my heart!!! I loved Jonah, Theo and Kacey With their goods and their bads, with their ups and their downs View all 46 comments. Oct 10, warhawke rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Lovers of broken people.

First Person - Dual Rating: And I don't like to repress my feelings lol! No spoiler for Book 2. Months after her loss, Kasey Dawson ran away to start a new life in a new city. But demons from the past re-emerged amidst her grief threatening to drown her already flailing soul. Theo Fletcher had his own grieve to deal with. Yet all around him, he saw people crumbling away and can't help but want to fix it, choosing to ignore his own heart's call for help.

But when two broken hearts reconnect, it has the ability patch back the shattered pieces as long as they are willing to take the risks. I'm not going to lie, I was not happy when I found out who are the pairing for this book. I love Theo but I didn't know if I could accept the "betrayal". I'm glad the author managed to convince me to accept them as a couple.

Theo was my favorite since book 1 because I understand his position. He made a promise that's close to his heart yet, it's also a burden considering the situation. I also feel sorry for him with how he had to deal with unsupportive people around him. She needed to do what was best for her, to heal and move on. Kasey was back into her self-destruction path. She was struggling to stay afloat but lucky to be surrounded by people who cared about her well being.

I love how their relationship progressed organically. It was developed at a believable pace, which helped convince readers that the relationship was real. You can prepare all you want for someday. I do wish there were bigger issues for them to deal with though. But then again, that's just me because I love when characters suffered lol! Also I would be happy with just Epilogue 1 - another personal preference: It provides closure for the characters without taking away what happened in the past.

Books in the series: Jul 07, Nicola rated it it was amazing Shelves: For all that Full Tilt shattered me, All In put me back together again and there is absolutely no question that these books are two of my favourite all-time reads. Simply put, Emma Scott has created a wonderful, and again poignant, story of love, loss and hope. To take the story down the path she does was a bold move and to do it with such flawless perfection displays real talent, and whilst my emotions weren't quite so extreme this time around, they were roused so many times.

The characters and their journey will stay with me forever. And as long as Emma Scott continues to write heart-achingly beautiful stories with characters who consume me, then she'll have a reader in me, forever. If ever I anticipated a book it would be Theo and Kacey's story. I fell in love with these two characters from book one and I was so excited to see what becomes of them. The chemistry between Kacey and Theo was undeniable. It was beautiful, if a tad bit forbidden, but hey the heart knows what, or who, it It was beautiful, if a tad bit forbidden, but hey the heart knows what, or who, it wants.

There was an element of hope beyond the pain that made this story touch my heart. It's about two people coping and dealing with tragedy in their own way and falling in love in the midst of pain and sadness. Because of book one, it almost felt like I was on the sidelines cheering these characters on! They had been through so much and I needed a win for them. There were moments when I said to myself "don't give up, keep going, it's time to let go! I walked away from this book with a double mixture feeling of pain and happiness. My heart is still broken, but Emma Scott does an amazing job at patching up the readers heart.

The scar is still there, but now it's healed. Emma Scott's writing is superb! The secondary characters are amazing I loved seeing how they themselves were coping. I did feel like at times there was bit of a lull and there was at the end some unnecessary drama, but overall, this is a must read! I would shout it from the rooftops if I could. This is one of those series you do not let it pass you by.

So if you're in the mood for a deep, albeit emotional read, then this book is for you. View all 24 comments.

It has been 82 days since reading the gut-wrenching first book of this duet "Full Tilt". My heart pure ached for Jonah and Kacey, but I also knew Theo was waiting in the wings to put all the broken pieces back together. I just could not fathom how Emma Scott was going satisfy her readers, who like me, were lying prostate in the fetal position and basically looking like Humpty Dumpty.

Not only did All The King's Horses and All The King's Men arrive to put me back together again, but Emma and her brilliance in writing this most extraordinarily epic sequel, relieved, revived and renewed my soul. And Theo, gracious sakes, Theo! He will make you drool like a fool ; While tears were trickling down my cheeks by the third page of the prologue, I just kept telling myself Theo will somehow find a way to become the glue his family and most importantly, Kacey, was going to need to get through the horrific days, weeks and months ahead, as Jonah, everyone's everything, loses his battle with life.

Jonah asks one favor of his only brother, as he is lying on his deathbed, "Take care of Kacey and love her, Theo. When Theo finally finds Kacey miles from home, and is unquestionably committed to being there to help her heal, no matter how long it takes, I felt the yoke of deep sadness, which had filled my heart, begin to lift and dissipate.

A magical rebirth was weaving Theo and Kacey lives together. Against all odds, they forged a beautiful, inseparable bond. It was a glorious union of two emotionally wrecked and lost souls healing each other. What I am trying to say is Accept that which has ended and let go so you can move on. So you may grow. So you may thrive. The light in your eyes - in your heart - has dimmed, but it is not put out.

Let it roar once again. Oh how both their hearts and mine roared once again!!! Thank you Emma Scott for a magnificent and stunning duet I will never forget! View all 27 comments. I think the deck was already fully laid out. When I read Full Tilt, I was shattered, completely and utterly shattered. Starting All In, I read the love, the passion, I could literally sense the dedication, the commitment that Theo had in making Kacey his in every way.

And oh my how well the game played out. I love this series, it's such a story of healing, yet a story of absolute pure love. These two books, two different loves, completely different outcomes, definitely a series you can not pass by. It's beautiful, it's so engaging it literally holds you captive till the end of the second book. Apr 11, Robin Hill rated it it was amazing Shelves: If this had been an ARC, I would have inhaled it in one sitting.

As it was, I had to keep reminding myself that I was not reading purely for my enjoyment. Even though I did enjoy it. You probably had one hell of a book hangover. You probably felt oddly motivated and forever changed. But did you enjoy it? Did it not twist your stomach into a pretzel? Rip your heart to shreds? Did you not throw your kindle at your homemade Emma Scott dart board even though you knew what was coming? Full Tilt was a piece of art.

It was gut-wrenchingly, heartbreakingly, beautiful. All In is its perfect counterpart. The Band-Aid on the wound. If Full Tilt broke you, All In will heal you. She spoils me with her words. One thing I love when it comes to a book series is consistency. All In flows nicely from Full Tilt , even though it is a completely different book with a completely different tone.

Both books are bright, colorful, and vibrant—not only in their gorgeous covers, but also on their pages. Its old, deep-south vibe is a nice contrast to the vibrant newness of Las Vegas, yet it somehow maintains a similar feel. My husband took me to NOLA once. We went during Mardi Gras and while waiting for a parade to start, he decided to refill our daiquiris.

He crossed the street and disappeared into the crowd. THEN the parade started. Just an FYI, nothing good can come from a stranded husband with two daiquiris. Just yesterday, my husband promised me a do-over. I handed him All In and told him to use it as a travel guide. Without his POV in Full Tilt , he came off guarded, protective, and somewhat icy, but within the very first pages of All In , you discover so much more about him. He keeps his promises. There was so much to love about this book: The romance is off the charts swoon-tastic. At one point I broke into song.

And believe me, I pored over the pages, looking. I pointed out every little thing I could find until I felt stupid for trying so hard. It is simply a love story. And I loved every perfect word. Everyone who'd read it kept saying it would make it all better, it'd make the hurt go away. That it would HELP. Still, after being destroyed by Full Tilt, I couldn't imagine how it could ever be better. Theo was going to be Kacey's new love interest. Now, 5 blue butterfly stars. Now, I hadn't given much thoughts to Theo in the first book. I'd loved his protectiveness towards his brother, but from that to becoming the hero His dark hair slicked back, his hands clasped in front of him where cufflinks glinted in the sun.

His expression was flat with boredom, until he caught sight of me. His mouth fell open a little and his eyes widened. I smiled at him, tried a little wave behind my small bouquet of white roses. Theo didn't respond but stared at me in that way he had, like he couldn't believe I was real.

I thought he was playing around but as I neared my place on the platform, his stare hardened and then he suddenly looked away. And yet the biggest surprise for me was him. Theo is an amazing man and the perfect match for Kacey. First of all, because they share the same grief.

He understands her loss and he'd never want her to forget Jonah or deny their past together. Also, he's the rock everyone is hanging on to. He's the man who's there for you no matter the sacrifice. This characteristic of his personality was what really endeared him to me.

What surprised me was instead that Theo had been in love with Kacey for a while, even from before Jonah's passing. It made sense, but it also created a lot of guilt in him. How could he dare substitute his brother? They were meant to be. The frantic desperation of their relationship was something unique and unrreplaceble. I understood his feeling bereft at the thought of filling his brother's shoes and how he berated himself over his feelings.

The promise Jonah made him swear on his death bed, for how heartbreaking, for me was incredible. It made me cry like a baby, but it reassured me, too. Because it told me that everything was going to be fine in the end.

The installation was perfect. Like Jonah had been in my mind's eyes -- the idol big brother who could do no wrong to his little brother who'd worshipped the ground he'd walked on. The first part of the book was painful, I won't lie.

Full Tilt Quotes by Emma Scott

There were so many moments in which Jonah was present in thoughts, memories, actions. Every time his name was even hinted at, my heart squeezed and my breath hitched. Not to talk about Oscar and Dena's wedding. I miss you, Jonah. We all miss you. It was easy to feel like I suffered the most. To believe the bulk of the pain was mine to choke down -- an enormous mouthful, while everyone else only had to chew little bites. But everyone who'd known Jonah had a place of pain to swallow. Then, with Theo helping Kacey resurface back to life and the two of them getting closer, the pain dissipated.

The sadness was still there, but it was They clicked together effortlessly and yet not so gracefully. Of course, they're both plagued by doubts and guilt. They both wonder how it's possible to fall for each other after losing Jonah. They start as friends, chatting over the phone since they live in different states now, and the slow burn was beautifully made. You could feel the tension simmer then undeniable pull they felt. Also the family doesn't seem to understand it, which was something I hadn't expected, yet it made sense given Theo's past occasional relationships and hookups.

Yet, when you read it, you can feel the utter adoration Theo has for Kacey. It made me love him even more, how he fought against his feelings not to upset his family and Kacey herself.

I had to go. I made a promise. I went to her now, and I'll go to her again if I have to. I'll fail a hundred classes and be fired from a hundred jobs before I let anything happen to her again. Kacey too went through a transformation. She has to let go of Jonah, and Theo will help her both physically and emotionally to overcome her damaging coping mechanisms and starting a new life. My favorite scene of all, though, was the moment Theo and his father shared at the end of the novel. It had the emotional punch of a mack track straight to the stomach and it was the perfect closure for the arc of their relationship, especially given the confrontation between Kacey and her own parents.

Those were twists that I hadn't anticipated occurring, but I was happy they did because they showed how serious Theo was about Kacey, how protective. I have this image of you holding a baby, tucked in the crook of your arm like a football while snagging a diaper of another toddler right before he tips over and clock himself of the edge of a table. And you do it with zero stress. Don't even bling an eye. I dare yours to. He's the silent, strong type who admittedly doesn't always have to words to express how he feels.

Especially at the beginning, when they're still friends, I was almost angry at him for not telling Kacey how he felt, but I admit that it was too soon. Maybe the married ones, too. You're going to look amazing in a tux, Teddy. It's life in all its complexity. And even though it wasn't devoid of grief, old and new, It left me satisfied, almost at peace.

It's been a while since I've read Full Tilt and made my peace with the emotional part of that story, yeah, it was emotional even for me, even though there were NO shed tears LOL Anyway, it was about time to wrap up this wonderful journey So, you need to read Full Tilt Full tilt duet 1 first, then All in Full Tilt duet 2 to fully appreciate the message and the beauty of the Fuckin beautiful But if she falls, help her Theo and Kacey's friendship grew stronger out of need for consolation, comfort, familiarity and support.

I knew Theo was there. I wasn't alone anymore. What else would you call the person who dropped everything to fly across the country to save my life. She was my friend and she comforted me like nothing and no one ever had before. It was a bond so strong that it could NOT be denied and the need was only intensified with the simple act of love.

It was natural as much as it sounded awkward or surreal, BUT they needed each other like air to breathe as they both grew as individuals, dealing with inner pain for loss, coping with fears of love and life It would always hurt.

But I'd purged the poisonous grief and what remained was cleaner. The pain had a peace in it. I could think about Jonah now. I had all of him back-his voice, his laugh, his stupid jokes and the way he'd turn globs of colorless glass into fucking masterpieces Not free of the love we had.

I'll carry that with me forever. I'll love him forever. But free to start again. Where there is ruin, there is hope for treasure. View all 7 comments. Oct 10, Shannon Moore rated it it was amazing Shelves: Spoilers possible and kind of likely after this point! Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes. Yeah, I did too. If not, turn around and go read that, then come back. Okay, where were we? Moments were so important to Kacey and Jonah and having to grasp them and use up every second of every last one.

But this was honestly one of my favourite things about the story. Emma gives you every moment you could hope for. Moments for Kacey, moments for Theo. Moments of heartbreak, lust, restlessness, confusion, love, growth and hope. But, we were gifted with, not given, moments of Jonah. My sweet, sweet Jonah. Staying true to the characters, story and her own ideas, Emma did exactly that.

Strangers, episode 1, review: John Simm's latest tilt at frontman

This made my heart so happy. Jonah was along every step of the way from thoughts and actions, memories, his art, everything. I could feel Jonah in every page. I uncovered such a depth of understanding for him and his character after the tarot card reading. I knew before that that he was a protector, but I never really knew the extent of his character and truly how much he would give up.

Theo is the type of man who you want to marry. The type of man who you want to raise your sons to be. Who else has a neighbour that bakes tuna casserole, yells at you through the window, comes running with refreshments when needed and can wield a Louisville Slugger? My last interaction with a new neighbour involved them yelling at me for where I parked my car. Awkward times that was.
