An unpauseable new romance from New York Times bestselling, Audie Award winning author Kylie Scott!

When Anna wakes up from a coma after a car crash, she discovers life has gone on without her. Her husband has been unfaithful—with her best friend—and she’s been long since replaced at work. While her old life is a distant memory, her new life feels like an empty shell. Then she meets the stranger who saved her life during the crash, and he changes everything.

Leif Larsen—tattooist, joker, and player—has his own scars thanks to the crash that put Anna in a coma. Helping her move on from her failed marriage, and create a new life, sounds like a perfect distraction. So when he needs a new roommate, he invites Anna to begin her new life with him.

Although their lives may have been put on pause, together they just might find a way to heal.

This story was simply amazing to read, I enjoyed it so much. The chemistry between Lief and Anna were off of the charts! The story of a young married woman is in a coma and the guy that saw the accident helped Anna by calling the police. Anna did not wake up for over six months. During this time period, her husband cheated on her with her best friend. Lied was hurt by the accident, he read books to Anna and they became good friends. Because Ryan, Anna's husband became a cheat she decided she couldn't forgive him for what he did with her best friend. Ended up in a divorce. Of course, Anna finds out that her best friend is pregnant with Ryan's baby. Anyways, can't spoil the story. ENJOY! This author wrote a fantastic story!!

sweet, short friends to lovers novella

Waking up from a coma and finding out one's husband has cheated, yeah not such a great way to reawaken. Now Anna has to move on with her life. When she meets Leif, someone who was also involved in the same accident that put her in a coma, it will lead to the best relationship of her life. One that starts with friendship and morphs into much more.

Pause is a sweet, short friends to lovers novella. I love how close they become in such a short amount of time, and how easily they fall into a friendship. The chemistry is suitably hot, bolstered by their already strong emotional connection, leading to happiness at the end. Both Leif and Anna are likable, sweet characters, and I especially like how much stronger Anna had become by the end of Pause.

Not sure why it took me so long to read Leif's book. It was fabulous. Anna and Leif's book truly sparkled. Kudos!

I’m super sad to say this wasn’t for me. I’m a bit disappointed because I loved Repeat but Leif just wasn’t the hero for me. I had to give up at about 70% because I hated where their relationship (if you can call it that) was going.

I loved their start. I loved their connection. I loved that something devastating brought them together. These two had been through so much and Leif was there for her for months while she was in the hospital. They were forming a strong bond and friendship.

Then Anna decides she wants more and kisses him. He rejects her of course she is embarrassed. I am sure he was doing what was right for her given her state of mind. But, her unrequited feelings were too much to read about. What I hate is this is not a story from his perspective so we have no idea what he’s thinking. I feel had I received more explanation of where he was I would have finished.

They are friends and eventually roommates which makes her initial kissing attempt more awkward especially when his former friends with benefits comes around for a reunion. I was disappointed he would even go to lunch with her but again we don’t know this thoughts about why he would do that. I did think it was interesting he would introduce Anna as just his “roommate”. That sure would make our friendship mean less than nothing if I’m Anna.

He finally is ready to pursue Anna for more and after they go to bed together for the first time she wants to know their status (understandably so). He is basically a man and doesn’t want to define anything.

“Can’t we just enjoy being together? Hanging out?” “We can do that. We are doing that.” “Phew. All right then.”

So….roommates with benefits it is.

I just felt this completely diminished whatever connection and bond I thought they had. Did I think it was wise they go from 0-60 overnight? No, but I thought she meant more to him than this. I felt he should have kept them as strictly friends until he could give her what she deserves which way more than “roomies with benefits “.

Loved Leif and how his HEA comes his way.

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2021

Leif and Anna meet on a fateful night when they are both injured by a driver who leaves the scene. Anna wakes up several months later and finds that her life is not what it was before. She then has to make some changes and finds a friendship with Leif. Leif is no stranger to his own drama and has pretty much sworn off the opposite sex. His ex was a piece of work and did a lot of damage to his psyche. I found him endearing and quite supportive of Anna throughout this book. He does the smart thing and woos her throughout this book but doesn't do it in an over-the-top fashion which I liked a lot. Their banter was witty and he really did have Anna's best interests at heart. After having read Repeat it was nice to see Leif get his HEA. Their ending was perfect for them and I was quite happy with the way it all played out. Although more of a slow burn type of book, it didn't disappoint at all for me.

Love! (As usual 😄)

Leif is such a nice guy. He's a tattoo artist, covered in ink, kind, handsome and just a good guy to have on your side. He's been through a lot, reading about how crazy his ex was and how far she went with his sister-in-law. Well just DANG! You will just want to give him such a big hug and tell him it wasn't his fault and he deserves the best and will find that.

Anna just woke up from a coma. Of course it comes with all these questions and trying adjust to normal life again. But she is taking her life back and going all out. Calling out her husband for his bad deeds and basically demanding a divorce at her birthday. What she did to those flowers was amusing and a powerful message to that fool.

So what do these two good friend do? They move in together! Leif kinda needs a little help with the rent and Anna has a ton of house items from obviously having a house, so it just works out. Now Leif has some actual furniture. These two just work well and help each other with anything and everything. Anna gets a job at the shop, they have a good thing going as just friends. So why is Anna jelly when Leif's old lady friend suddenly show up out of the blue.

But then it finally happens! The moment we all love when they finally open their eyes and see they are exactly made for each other.

One click Kiley once again

Reviewed in Canada on July 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

Ms Scott is synonymous with quality control.......and time suckage. Clear your calendar for this delightful one sitting read. It's shorter than many of her books, but it's emotionally rewarding in the most wonderful way. If you have a weakness for an eccentric heroine who's been done wrong, who has to rebuild herself again; and a tall, tattooed, funny but emotionally scarred hero who knows his own heart and isn't afraid to act when he finds a good thing , then you will love this book. The story is told from Ana's hilarious voice, as she trippingly lets us in on her every thought about waking up after a 7 month coma to find just how far the world has moved on without her, to her recovery and first forays back out into the world, to healing herself through friendship and once again love. Ms Scott's delightful and off beat sense of humor is evident in Ana's internal dialogue, and in the banter of friends/love interests/mother and daughter..... in other words this is another example of Kiley's sparkling repartee. Where Kiley particularly excels is in having us fall in love with her leading men because of how beautiful they are, inside and out, to their leading ladies; and Leif is a gift for the senses. You'll actually feel like you hear his deep, resonant voice as he patiently woos (you really have to use that word here to describe his pursuit of Ana).

Treat yourself to this treat!

I waited impatiently for PAUSE, the male carachter really intrigued me, sadly it recall a lot (too much!) the previous book in the series (though I totally loved that one).

A Great Romance with Amazing Characters

ARC received in exchange of an honest review.
I couldn’t wait to read this new book by Kylie Scott, since it happened to be in the same universe as “Repeat”, a book I loved when I read it in 2019. In “Pause”, we are following Leif and Anna’s story. Anna just woke up after being in a coma for a while, only to find out that her husband cheated on her with her best friend… As it wasn’t enough, she has to find a new job and learn how to walk and do many things again. She is a bit lost and terrified, until she meets Leif, the guy who saved her during the crash. The connection between us is immediate. Leif is determined to help Anna to move on from her old life and build a new one. But it’s not quite easy, especially when Leif has to battle his own demon from this faithful night as well…
I really liked this story. It’s heartwarming, full of emotions and humor. I loved to find out more about Anna and Leif. Anna is a bit lost but determined not to let people use her as a doormat anymore, especially her ex-husband, and she can count on Leif to help her with that. Leif is funny, generous and help her to try new things and open her horizon. I found their relationship full of hope, humor and many other things. It’s not boring at all. I also liked to read about Ed and Clem (“Repeat’s main characters). The story is quite interesting as well and gives rhythm to the book. Although I just find the end a little bit too abrupt. I didn’t really understand what was going on. Some parts of the story have not real answer and it’s too bad because with just one more chapter or two, the story could have been perfect.
Though I still had a great time reading Leif and Anna’s story. It’s a really good book that I recommend, and I only want to read more of Kylie Scott’s books now. She is amazing at creating strong characters and interesting universe, therefore I can’t wait to find more about her stories in the foreseeable future!

Pause and read this book

Reviewed in Australia on September 15, 2021

I so enjoyed this book. I very rarely give five star ratings but this book just worked. There are no great dramas or swings from high to low and back again but rather a gradual unfolding of emotions and a deeper understanding of self as both leading characters work through the trauma of the car accident that impacted both their lives. I absolutely loved the realness of Anna and Lief's relationship, the banter between them, their naturally developing friendship, their acceptance of each other for who they are. I also enjoyed the unfolding and blossoming of other relationships in the book like that of Anna and her mum. I haven't read many of Kylie Scott's novels but highly recommend reading Pause and will be looking out for more in the future.
