Don't Circle Or (The Trimble Triplets Trilogy)

Wow once you start reading this story you cannot put the book down.All the characters are amazing and as the story unfolds it makes you laugh, cry and go through so many emotions. Cannot wait for the sequel.

Another amazing book by Kellan McKnight, the MCs go through so much. However it shows how first love really can last even after so many years apart and the different paths they took all through one event. This is a sad, but sweet HEA book. I can't wait to read the next two books this will be a great series. I highly recommend it!!!.

First line made me smile, then straight into story set up. Barriers a plenty. Wow what a prologue! You knew….. could feel it coming but shocked when it did.Chapter one is totally different in tone and place, it is amazing how I felt so bad for a character I’ve just met. I read the chapter quickly because I hoped she would out of that situation and the last sentence of the chapter gave me the hope I was looking for.There were sections of the book I was actually quite tense, some sections I kept thinking the lovers would be caught and they weren’t. Then when I didn’t expect it, they were. That and the subsequent 3 chapters were quite taut.The book flicks between the past and the present and I enjoyed both especially as further in to the novel it all comes together and there are really no wasted events.This felt like a fresh novel. I got really in to it.

Beautiful and very emotional!Morgan and Drew shared a connection until an event changed both their lives forever. Both of them now struggle with the lives they have, and upon Morgan returning home and suddenly having Drew back in her life, the past is catching up with them. They both have a lot of decisions to make and chances they could take if what they once had still exists.Loved this! Firstly, the title really intrigued me and once you read the story it all clicks and makes the story all the more special. It was clever how we were introduced to Morgan and Drew, then exploration continued throughout the story between the past and the present. I really hadn’t expected any of what I learned about them and their connection from how they’d behaved around each other when Morgan first ran into Drew again. Their story was such a special one, roots in the past responsible for the emotional turmoil they were going through now.Despite everything that had happened, especially with Morgan’s triplet sisters, I was surprised by how they all reacted and handled things as Morgan and Drew started picking up the pieces of what they’d left in the past. Everyone had their own interpretation of events, and it was especially interesting to get their reactions as part of the story too, as really all angles were covered. My heart broke so much for Drew, because early on in the story she was painted in a not so nice light because of past actions, especially where Morgan was concerned, but as with all great romance stories there was so much unknown by those who’d gotten hurt. When we finally learned everything about Drew’s past, I empathised and completely understood why she’d made the decisions she did. As a younger woman she really had been in a situation no one would want to find themselves in, and tried to protect everyone, including herself, so I just hoped now Morgan would appreciate that and make different choices than the ones she had to leave years ago without the full picture.A great start to the Trimble Triplets Series, exploring the complexities of friendship, identity, and relationships at any age. Really looking forward to more of this series!

I loved this, the storyline and character development was amazing. I can't wait to read the next one. I would highly recommend this book and author.

This book made me feel so much. It's hard to put into words. The characters are so real, Omg i stayed home from work yesterday to read it. Finished it last night and just wow. I loved it! The love that those two had for each other made me cry. I fell in love with my best friend in high school, and she felt the same, but that was when it was not good to be a lesbian. Between her being scared of the repercussions of being gay and her family life and another friend's mother's influence, she felt the world would be better without her and took her own life at 19. It broke me. I know we'd still be together today if that hadn't happened. This book struck a cord deep down inside me. I miss her every day. Your writing just flows and pulls you in to care so much for your characters. I also have friends who have struggled with substance abuse and alcoholism and Morgan's journey was so like theirs when they got clean. Kellan is such a talented writer. I love Kellan's sense of humor, too. Best book I've read so far this year. You need to buy this one to add to your collection. I'm already re-reading it.

I really enjoyed this story from a very talented author. The characters both main and side were so good and can't wait to read the next in the series.

This is the 2nd book I've read by this author. Although I'm an avid reader, I don't usually write reviews on the books that I read. However, this author continues to impress me with the depth of her characters, & their stories. Can't wait til book 2 comes out!

Kellan McKnight’s storytelling ability far surpasses even my high expectations. Don’t Circle Or is a dramatic second-chance romance that tore my heart to shreds and then put it back together before I even realized it. The first scene, a scene from the past that sets up the trajectory for the rest of the book, pulled me in, squeezed me so tight, and left me breathless. Needless to say, after reading those pages, I was hooked. McKnight uses a dual timeline most impressively, as all of the events of the past connect with the present. And as the story grows deeper, so do the connections between the past and present.McKnight uses symbolism in a way that I had to stop multiple times to reread because I was in awe of the connections I was being led to make. She also uses figurative language that enhances the impact of emotions conveyed through the narrative. The dialogue flows naturally, is believable, and is real.Don’t Circle Or is a story that resonated so deeply with me. It’s a story about honesty, forgiveness, redemption, and, at its core, hope. It’s heartbreakingly real, yet also heartwarming at the same time. The story shows that the choices you make can change the course of others’ lives forever because your choices affect more than just you. This is a story about growing, learning, communicating, and atoning. It’s about being honest and leaning into vulnerability so that you can live fully and completely. I was captivated from the first page, and I’m hanging on the edge of my seat awaiting the arrival of book two!

Loved the story line and the angst associated with addiction. The love story between drew and Morgan is wonderful and fated. Can’t wait to read the next book in the trilogy
