More Than Need You (More Than Words Book 2) Kindle Edition

More Than Need You is part of the series More Than Words and that is the perfect way to explain the theme for this book. A relationship is built and destroyed and rebuilt again on more than words. It takes love, anger, forgiveness and happiness. This book has it all.

Griff is amazing even with all his faults. He made a huge mistake 3 years ago and ruined the most important relationships in his life. He has the sins of his parents on his shoulders and that has continued to eat away at him and affect his relationships with the people who are closest to him. Griff wants to be a better man for Britta but it doesn't happen overnight. And he has a lot to learn.

Britta is the love that Griff pushed away. There is a lot of reasons why Griff did what he did but Britta now wants to protect herself and her son. She doesn't want to put herself in the same position to get hurt again. Plus so much time has passed that old wounds have festered and she doesn't know how they can heal.

Keeley and Maxon also give great advice to Griff, especially Keeley. She is a force to be reckoned with. She gives Griff something he desperately needs, a friend. She is that ear that all of us need from time to time and she isn't afraid to tell Griff that his is being stupid.

I love this book!!! It has all the elements that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. I really adored Griff. Make no mistake, he has his moments where you want to tell him off but he had a chance to look inside himself to become something more than his father. I understand Britta in the way that she didn't want to put her heart on the line again and just so much time had passed.

I also really love how music is weaved throughout this story and series. I can tell how important music is to Shayla Black. She is really knowledgable and her playlist is amazing and fits perfectly to the mood and tone of the book.

We also get some insight about Harlow and the man she is about to marry. The bothers are already expressing their thoughts. I can't wait!!!

I love this series. Set in Maui, HI it's filled with imagery that brings the senses alive. We met Britta in Maxon's story, the first book in the series. We had learned that she had a baby with Maxon's younger brother Griff. Everyone had thought that Griff didn't care for either Britta or their son. When in fact, he didn't know about his son at all. He never received the letter Britta had sent telling him about their son. While reconciling his relationship with Maxon, he finds out the thousands upon thousands of misunderstandings that have kept him from the woman he loves and the son he never knew existed. This story is Griff's journey to win back Britta and his son. It's a beautiful second chance love story.

I love that Shayla wrote this series in the male point of view. To know what Griff was thinking the whole time gave this book its unique feel. Sure, I wondered a thousand times what Britta was thinking but the details that Shayla put in were enough to keep me satisfied and reading. Griff and Britta's second chance love story was filled with anticipation but also filled with so many feels. The playlist that Shayla accompanied with the book really contributed to the feel of the book. It gave the story an added dimension. It pulled you in.

I can't wait to read the third book to see what happens next within these three siblings.

This is the second book in Shayla Blacks More than words series and this was a marvelous addition. Griffin Reed is trying to win back Britta Stone and his son Jamie after leaving them and making not being in their life for three years. With Keeleys helps and his brother back in his wife he tries to get to know his son. Watching the relationship was great between Jamie and Griffin and seeing how much Britta was really trying do what was right for her son but also try To keep her heart safe. Shayla did a great job that you don't want to put this book down and you keep wanting more. Can't wait for Harlows book.

The male main characters in this series are quite different then in other series written by this author. I find this new and refreshing, even though they are totally self absorbed at the beginning they have a lightbulb moment. This leads to needing to be painfully honest about the past, present if there would be any hope of a future long-term relationship. The characters have many layers to them, the storyline has a strong emotional depth to it. Abuse in youth can mess with the emotional growth of an individual; I love reading in a book when a true love is able to help them thru it... doesn't always happen in realitu. I found myself yelling at the characters, seeing what they weren't, the authors writing having me totally engaged, not knowing if a way through all the muck & mire would be possible in order to have a HEA... "the plan" was extremely romantic & I couldn't turn the pages quick enough. What a great read! Looking forward to the next in the series.

Griff and Britta's story was as heartbreaking as it was beautiful. While Griff was determined to win back Britta and be a father to their son, Britta was trying to protect herself from being broken yet again by Griff. Watching Griff develop a relationship with his son both brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my lips. Although I was rooting for Griff to win Britta over through the entire book, I could totally understand Britta's reluctance to just give into Griff. I'm not normally a fan of second chance love stories but I absolutely loved this story. Shayla Black always delivers with stories that draw you in and keep you wanting more. More Than Need You was yet another such example. I can't wait for the next book in the series.
