Thomas & January – by Fisher Amelie

SYNOPSIS
Thomas Eriksson thinks he has it all figured out.

“People crossed the street when they saw me. I’m not really sure why that was. I mean, okay, I might have looked a bit intimidating if I was being truthful with you. I’d changed since New York. New York represented a life that wasn’t real, not truthfully, anyway. No, New York was the “young, immature, in love, idiot” side of Tom. The “Tie-Dye Tom of New York City” didn’t exist anymore. Tie-Dye Tom was dead.”

January Mac Lochlainn thinks she’s her own worst enemy.

“I quit Berkeley. Threw away a full scholarship. Plans, you ask? What plans?”

But they’re both wrong.

***
Tom approached me slowly and met me under the light on the stone walkway. He leaned over me so closely, my neck craned to see his face. His expression was one of confusion as he studied my own. 

“What is it about you?” he asked me.

I gulped. “What do you mean?” I whispered, closing my eyes and swallowing again, my breaths becoming labored.

He lifted his hand and dragged the backs of his fingers across my jaw so lightly I barely felt them, but they made me feel dizzy all the same.

“How can you be this extraordinary, January MacLochlainn?” He leaned closer, a look of pure frustration and anger lit his eyes and pressed his lips. “And why couldn’t I have met you before I realized I didn’t want anyone… ever?”

Life for Thomas and January will never be the same again… whether they like it or not.

THOMAS & JANUARY – BOOK TWO

Reviewed by Gitte

Ok so I just loved Callum & Harper which was book 1 in this series by Fisher Amelie so I was so excited to start Thomas & January and although I enjoyed it, I didn’t love it. The story seemed a bit rushed and I would have loved to actually get to know Tom and January better. That being said this story has drama and yummy romance, and I loved that the characters from book 1 were in this one too!

January comes from a huge family, she is the oldest of 10 kids. I really liked her, she was intelligent, confident, determined and had this adorable innocence. She turns down a scholarship at Berkeley for a job in the music industry which is where her passion is.

Thomas Eriksson ran off to Austin when the love of his life got engaged to one of his friends. His band split up when the members got different priorities so he is now an acclaimed music scout. Thomas has completely changed and is now a completely different person to what he was in book 1. Rather than being “Tie-Dye Tom” he is now scary (but still gorgeous) looking, dark and brooding. He is pretty miserable.

Thomas and January meet at a gig. January is there supporting her friend whose band is playing. Thomas is there in his scouting capacities. January is immediately attracted to Tom and they share a snog. Tom pretty much freaks out as he is still feeling brokenhearted and he treats her pretty badly after that kiss…..

And this is where Tom and January’s journey begins…
