Have you read parts 1 & 2? 

The Donor (Part One)

Casey Williams and her family are poor. Her parents work non-stop and so does she, just so they can keep the trailer roof from leaking.
They’re getting by fine enough when the headaches start. Then there’s the nosebleeds. And the inevitable doctor’s bills.
Fortunately for Casey, there’s MyTrueMatch.com: an exclusive, quick, and almost easy way to pay it all back before her parents even have to know.
All she has to do is give a man she’s never met whatever he wants from her body.
Inside or out. 

The Donor (Part Two)

When Casey joined MYTrueMatch.com, she never imagined she would meet a man who not only helps her pay the bills, but has been nothing but a gentleman.
As the nose bleeds make way for worse symptoms, Casey can’t help the feelings she has for Jonah, despite how he may never return them. And he’s been keeping things from her. Big things.     How does he make his money, and who is that girl in the picture?
With the clock ticking, can she find the answers she’s looking for?

Hmmm.... This piece to the puzzle hasn't been my favorite. For some reason, there was just something that felt missing for me in this little piece... I can't quite put my finger on what... I know, I know.... vague much? : /  

The story continues right where we left on in the last piece and continues moving forward. I enjoyed this piece. I sort of liked where the plot was taking the characters. But I wasn't gripping the pages and feeling the angst and curiosity I felt in the other parts. I felt more sadness and...well, sickness I guess. Duh - the main character is sufferring a terrible illness and (no spoilers) so I guess it's about time for me to feel a dreary emotion from the story. I'm sort of amazed that I didn't really feel it until now... Ha. Kuddos to the author - she's awesome - writing about a character with a pretty bleak background and present situation and NOT making me depressed the entire novel... that's awesome. 

Anyways, I know I'm bouncing around all of the place with this review. It's hard to write reviews that have any substance for serial novella pieces. They're so short and the story is not a new one... It's a continuation from other parts that you've already dug your toes into. 

I don't want this to be a negative review because I don't feel negatively about this part of the story. There was just something missing.  

****scrunches forehead in frustration because she can't find the right way to word this**** 

Anyways, the ending! Gaaa! I can't wait to get the 4th piece to this story! I'm still very intrigued by the characters and the overall plot of the story! 

So overall for this little installment in the series.... 3 Stars

Nikki Rae... what can I say? After the Sunshine Series, I'll be hooked on her work so I was excited when I read that she was releasing a series of short novellas. Now, I have a serious love/hate relationship with a book broken down into novella parts. It never fails - just when I'm starting to get invested in the characters, it's over. I hate that. But I also love how I'm so antsy to get my hands on the next part. It's often like a sweet form of torture.

This series is no different.

After reading part 1, I was so frustrated because I was really starting to get into the story. The characters are very calm and there isn't a ton of turmoil going on so it's a peaceful read despite the tragic plot. We meet the main character, Casey. She's more adult for her age than most folks I know. But she has to be. She's sick. She knows this. She only has a few months left to live. So what does she do? She signs up for Mytruematch.com to try and spend her last days alive earning money for her mother & father. It's heartbreaking. But she's accepted it. She would love to just not be alone... She doesn't want to let her family know because she doesn't want to break their hearts at this point and drag them down. I loved her. I envied her strength & perseverance. She was such a smooth character so reading her POV was effortless. Then you meet Jonah... What can I say about him? He's such a mystery.... His calm personality just sucks me right in and lulls me into a sort of reading coma. Am I the only one that does that on occasion? A character's just so calm and reassuring that you continue to read without really putting any effort into it... You just get sucked into the lull of the character's personality and, although you've read for 2 hours straight, you feel like you've only read for 5 minutes. 

Then you get into part 2. This installment just grabbed me and had me sinking into the plot. I didn't want it to end. That's the "bitter" part of novellas... you have your bitter and your sweet. Bitter because it ends entirely too soon. Sweet because you're left on the edge and wanting more. More More More! I honestly didn't think that I could become so invested in a set of characters in such a quick amount of time. That's exactly what happened though. I became so attached to them after part 2 and hated to see it end. You see the characters start to build a sort of relationship with one another.


I truly cannot waitttttt for more.

So overall, both parts 1 & 2, I have to give 5 stars to.... They simply drew me in and kept me glued to the pages. I loved the characters. So far, I'm loving the plot.
