This is a sweet story. Has some good lessons. I hated to put the book down to go answer the door or phone. I look forward to reading more from Carole Rummage in the future. I was given this ebook and asked to give honest review of it when I finshed by Netgalley.

Great for teenage girls. Aug 16, Christina M Condy rated it really liked it Shelves: I received this book from the Publisher for my honest review. This book starts out with a young girl, Laney who lost her entire family in one fell swoop to an auto-accident. She moves in with her aunt and uncle and takes refuge from her life in the animal refuge center. There she meets a young man, Gabe. It is very clear to you, the reader, from a very early part what I received this book from the Publisher for my honest review. But we go through the entire book with blinders on because he never actually tells her what his disease is.

There is a bit of a mystery in the book, when a boy gets murdered and Gabe and his brother are suspected. What I will say is the romance between Gabe and Laney is fast, almost instantaneous they are in love. The characters lack a bit of chemistry for me. The back stories are a bit depressing; first we have Laney who lost her parents and brother while at a gymnastics meet.

Then we have her deceased brother who is autistic. At times I thought there was just way too much negativity going into this book. I seriously think the Author tried too hard to tug at the heart strings. I did like the relationship between Laney and her Aunt and Uncle and how it progressed and grew with the story. That I can say is one thing the Author did correctly. The other good thing is that the Author uses terminology appropriate for the age group she is gearing this book towards. I found it an interesting and quick read and one that I enjoyed perhaps not completely.

I do like how the Author added questions at the end of the book for discussions. This is a good feature for schools and book clubs. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a little romance in with a paranormal mystery story. But mostly this is a teen book. Not a ton of draw for adults, but a good quick read for a teenager who has to read for school. Aug 13, Tien rated it it was ok Shelves: The gorgeous golden cover was just irresistible that I had to request it off NetGalley. Refuge is straight out YA romance with a touch of the paranormal.

It seems to follow the usual romantic formula with not much else.

There were no further aspects of the paranormal expounded. I understand this is the first book of a series however it seems either to be very very slow going or only meant to be mostly romance with a very slight touch of the paranormal. Oct 01, Rachael rated it it was ok Shelves: This review first appeared Moosubi Reviews! Honestly, I would have gave up on this book if it weren't for the challenge I was participating in, and the fact that I received an ARC from the publisher. From the beginning, I could tell that this book would not be for me.

She was clearly not interested in him, but she still went out with him. It just seemed like the author was setting up her actions and for the plot to go to an unrealistic amount of drama. Well, that and the fact that the plot was completely predictable.

Here are some things that I found some irks with Couldn't she just ignore him, like she said she would?! Sep 20, Renae rated it did not like it Shelves: Once upon a time, Laney moved to a new town in The South. The first thing Laney did was visit the local wildlife refuge, where she promptly got attacked by a bear. The most inhumanly gorgeous boy ever to exist ran in and saved her. Afterward, they shared a short conversation. Upon arriving back home, Laney had this to say: He also said this: How dare someone try to be a philanthropist! She kept thinking about Gabe.

He thought about her a lot, too. I already care too much. Does this make sense to you, fellow readers? But is sounds pretty! And they all lived happily ever after. If you enjoyed the story I just told, chances are Refuge by Carole Rummage will be the book for you. Nothing of interest here. Aug 10, Emily rated it liked it. I've received an ARC copy of this book via Netgalley. That's all I had to say after finishing this book.

The beginning was heartbreaking. Laney's parents and her brother died in a car crash while trying to get to her gymnastics meet, so she lives with her uncle and aunt now. She later meets Gabe for the first time when he saves her from a wild bear out at the refuge. They talk and both soon find themselves falling in love. Laney then finds out that he has a disease, but she doesn't care, she I've received an ARC copy of this book via Netgalley. Laney then finds out that he has a disease, but she doesn't care, she loved him already.

But Laney never actually found out what the disease was and after a while, she still didn't know what it was. Her aunt then urges her to go on a date with this obnoxious jerk named Matthew Purser, so she does, and even though Mathew projects the image of success, he isn't a good person, and near the end, something unexpected happens that breaks Laney's heart again! Don't worry though, there IS a happily ever after!

Let's stop right here so I can tell you something that I didn't like about this book. So, true love at first sight? That's nice, but I don't believe in that. She talked to him for probably an hour and she's already in love? It's just a book. But the good things that I loved were the moments when Gabe was so caring and protective of Laney. He sounds like the perfect boyfriend.

They are so lovey dovey together and you can tell they really love each other. The author also mentioned Harry Potter, which is a plus. Let's all bow down to our queen, J. Overall, this was a great book from a first time author, but it's a bit too cheesy for me. If you love overly romantic books and a bit of mystery and suspense, than this is a great read for you!

Unfortunately, I'm not really into this type of romance so I'll only give this book 3. Apr 03, Arlena rated it really liked it Shelves: Carole Rummage Published by: Cedar Fort, Inc Age Recommended: Arlena Dean Book Blog For: Even though I found "Refuge" somewhat predictable it was still a good novel to read. We find Laney Lowell has lost both of her parents due to a car accident One day while Laney is running in the forest called 'Refuge' He was in this 'refuge' trying to get some inspiration for this next art exhibit.

Gabe saves Lany from a bear and the story takes off from there saying you must pick up "Refuge" to see just what all it is about. What is it about the disease that Gabe and his brother had? Would this turn away Lany? What all do Lany and Gabe have in common? All of these questions will be answered and more will be revealed as you read through this good novel. All and all this was a cute romance with a whole lots of twist and turns that will keep you intruiged wanting to know who, what, why and the how of it all. In the end the secrets will be uncovered. I saw that this author covers good values, has easy to relate to characters and describes a beautiful setting with some romance for the young readers.

There is even a small area of religion exposed. The author also added questions at the end of the her novel for discussions Aug 26, Sarah rated it it was ok Shelves: In introducing this book, and all you really need to know about it, allow me to adapt a quote from a great cultural philosopher from the year Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but I'm in love with you and am already talking seriously about marriage after only a few weeks, so call me, maybe PS we're still in high school and you have a secret life-changing disease. Laney, new in town after a family tragedy, meets Gabe, a sensitive, mysterious artist, and instantly knows that she wants to be with him.

Because he's handsome, and likes animals, and has his own tragic past, and is nice to her. They go from complete strangers to Made For Each Other in pretty much zero seconds flat. Fortunately, their romance is cute and flirty, with the two taking the time to actually get to know each other, past baggage included Do you want to know how long it took the big reveal to happen?

That is way too long to keep someone hanging on your books only mystery, especially when it's revealed in a pretty un-dramatic in my opinion fashion. Laney's reaction to the reveal is also pretty unrealistic, albeit expected. It took significantly less time than that for me to figure it out. The foreshadowing in this book is off the charts with how heavy-handed it is. The plot and subplots are pretty predictable, and the main external source of conflict is super obvious from almost the instant he's on the page.

Aug 29, Book Pusher rated it liked it. This book will be published in November Refuge is a sweet story with a lot of potential. I honestly liked the story and enjoyed reading it. The only issue I really had was Gabe's disease and the fact that I figured out at the beginning of the book what was going on, but Laney doesn't figure it out until almost the end. It made me want to shake her a little and be like, okay Okay so enough about the disease. I liked Laney and Gabe and the comfort they were able to provide each other. I liked the setting of the story and thought her Aunt and Uncle made great characters as well.

I would recommend this book, but I would say that the summary is a bit misleading in that I don't think the romance is thrilling, nor are there lots of twists I thought it was pretty clear what was happening the entire time. Lets see if I can think of a better Summary to give if you are interested in reading: Book Pusher's Book Summary for Refuge: Laney Lowell has just lost everything she's ever known. Starting a new life across the country she tries desperately to escape the pain. A gorgeous guy with a mysterious disease is the last thing she needs in her life, but she can't seem to convince her heart to stay away from Gabe Randall.

Refuge is a riveting love story that you're sure to fall in love with. Oct 10, Darkfallen rated it did not like it Shelves: I've been trying desperately over the last few days to get into this and I just can't. You know the saying "It sounded good on paper. Well this is one of those times. I mean the premise sounds awesome and heartbreak invoking, but unfortunately it just falls flat. The way the story is written it is just two-dimensional and lack luster.

It almost reads like a first draft. Don't get me wrong the story the author is trying to tell is a good one. She just doesn't do a good job at making it pop off I've been trying desperately over the last few days to get into this and I just can't. She just doesn't do a good job at making it pop off the page and come to life, which leads to me kind of glossing over it.

Ultimately I'm just not feeling the emotions here and it's leaving me bored and unsatisfied. And then there is the "insta love" between Laney and Gabe. I'm talking twenty pages in and BAM we are in love already. Now usually this wouldn't bother me. But since I'm just not really able to feel any of the emotions here I can't buy their relationship. It just seems far fetched. Then we have the mysterious "disease" that Gabe is said to have. Laney and the rest of the town seems to know about this "disease" but no one knows what the disease is and Laney doesn't even question Gabe about it.

I found myself reading just so I could figure out what was wrong with him, but still struggling half way through the book I decided to just give up. Whatever illness Gabe has it isn't enough to keep me reading. Overall I think the premise for this book has great potential, but the writing just falls flat and emotionless. Oct 01, Laura rated it it was ok. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. With some changes to the flow and progression of the story it could be a 4 star. I'll admit that what made me want to read this was the mention of Gabe's mysterious disease in the blurb.

Laney's grief was overcame very quickly, it could be realistic for some, but I just can't see being so open and sharing about the deaths of your entire famil I received an ARC from Cedar Fort on Netgalley. Laney's grief was overcame very quickly, it could be realistic for some, but I just can't see being so open and sharing about the deaths of your entire family within months and not contantly breaking down. Plus her obsession with wolves took up more of her thoughts in the beginning of the story.

It was made more obvious by his relationship with wolves, which was the exact opposite of what you'd expect a victim of a wolf mauling to be. Laney and Gabe's relationship developed much too easily, even though they both had thoughts about it not being a good idea. Plus Ethan accepted it far too quickly after his ominous "no girlfriends" warning to Gabe. Also the Randall family legal troubles disappeared ridiculously easily. Hardly any search was conducted after they ran and it took an 18 year old girl saying "I think Matthew might've been a dealer" to get them to look at any other routes.

Then the real murderer was like yep I did it and here's why. Aug 13, Andrea rated it it was ok. While I enjoyed aspects of this story, it definitely didn't keep me "guessing until the I found the Refuge ARC on Netgalley, and the blurb caught my attention. While I enjoyed aspects of this story, it definitely didn't keep me "guessing until the last page. There was a lot of build up followed by a very rushed ending. At one point Laney is thinking about her appearance, and says she wouldn't have stood out in Salt Lake with her multiple piercings, pink streaked hair, and tattoo.
