5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic emotional rollercoaster!!

I laughed, smiled and cried throughout much of this book. It is so full of wonderful characters and a storyline that grabs a hold of your heart! Abuse, both mental and physical is a horrible thing and Shaan Ranae really did a fantastic job creating the characters portraying the abuser and the abused. I felt so many emotions while reading this book and I am so very glad I purchased it. Jaz & Katy feel like friends now. Reading about them making a fresh start, finding the one they were meant to be with, making new friends and family, and overcoming their pasts was so great. The best part was learning from Sylvie to Just Live.

4.0 out of 5 stars Story of love bringing freedom
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2018

This was a beautiful story. Susan has a way of inventing her characters, so that they are completely real. They are emotionally intricate and make me want the book to last forever so I don’t lose my new found friends. The story is a wonderful combination of totally realistic instalove, human mistakes made and forgiven, and finally just enough suspense and fear to keep the reader on her toes.
The negative about this book is the grammar and need for editing. Past, present and future tense are woven erratically throughout the book and are occasionally annoying, getting in the way of the story. A good editor would make all the difference in the world. This story could go past Indie status with just a bit of help. Susan is a mean story teller!

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing read!

You will not be disappointed as you get to know Katey and Jaz and follow their journey as they maneuver every obstacle that meets them along the way. I read the first half of the book in a day and finished the second half in a day. I didn't want the story to end - but the way it ended was very emotional - happy, sad, hopeful - this book had it all. The title of the book is JUST LIVE - but it could just as well could have been JUST LOVE! Kudos to Shaan Ranae for another awesome book. Can't wait to read more!

4.0 out of 5 stars This book hits those feels!
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2017

I have to say that I was back and forth with this book. The main character starts out in an abusive relationship, has a friend who helps her get out of it in a very unique way, then the main character decides to live impulsively due to the fact that she felt her true self had been stifled by the abusive relationship. This is a story of redemption, freedom, and love at first light. The main character had me shaking my head at her most of the time but there were times where it just hit home! It hit those feels! There are a bit of typos scattered throughout but other than that, this was a pretty decent story.

4.0 out of 5 stars New author with a feel good story.

This was a feel good story. The main character, Katey, transforms from the abused woman to a free soul. In her journey, she meets Jaz, the musician. He's a free spirit who helps her heal. Their journey isn't easy as they have ghosts from the past reappear. This relatively new author is on the right track.

Just Live
By: Shaan Ranae
5 out of 5 stars

The story Just Live by Shaan Ranae is a contemporary romance book. This is the story of Kathryn James. She believed that she found love, however, all she found was pain and heartache. She has made her escape and now intends to start a new life. It is on this journey that she learns about others and about love. However, she learns the most from a man named Jaz Carter. Will Kathryn take a chance on Jaz and his unorthodox way of teaching? Most of all will she learn to Just Live?

This is a story about pain and disappointment. It is also the story of love and second chances. I loved the story and the characters are wonderful. You first have Kathryn who has just fled and turned her back on her old life. She had to as the situation she was in was very dangerous. I like that she makes a clean break and starts changing everything about herself. She does a lot of deep thinking about what has happened in the last two years. Then she meets Jaz. Their first meeting is very memorable and had me smiling as I was reading it. I also love that Kathryn always remembers and tries to follow the advice of her best friend, Just Live. Kathryn however still has memories of her past and sometimes this causes her pain. Will she follow her heart and let Jaz in?

Jaz is an amazing character. He is on his way to Las Vegas to play in a jazz band when he meets Kathryn. From the first time they meet you can tell that he feels something for her. He also has the gift of gab. He is comfortable with giving his opinions and letting everyone know where he stands. Jaz has had tragedy in his past and it is hard for him to talk about it. Can Jaz convince Kathryn of their connection? I absolutely loved reading this book. I was hooked from the first chapter and couldn’t stop until the ending page. It is told from Kathryn’s POV and there are flashbacks to the situation she was in previously. The story flows very smoothly and makes you stop and think of what you would do if in the same situation. This book does include mature subject matter and adult situations which would make it a book for those 18 years of age or older.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful love story
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 11, 2017

This story had me hooked from the beginning. It's about a beautiful woman called Katey who catches the eye of a sadistic and cruel man, Michael. Forced to go on the run or die, Katey enlists the support of her friend and off she goes on a road trip across America in search of salvation.
I loved the descriptions of the places that she stops at, the people she meets and the lessons and personal growth she experiences.
As she fleas across America she meets the gorgeous and charismatic Jas who enables her to heal and believe there are good men in the world.
I loved the main and side characters in this book. They were three dimensional, believable and the author skilfully wove aspects of dark and light throughout the story in order to sympathetically deal with aspects of abuse, moving on and falling in love.
I really enjoyed this author's previous book, A Minor Happy Ending. I'm not sure how she does it, but this one is every bit as good and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a beautiful love story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 22, 2017
The title drew me to this book.

This book will take you on an emotional rollercoaster of a journey with Katey, who is running for her life and from an abusive relationship. Not knowing what her future holds she runs and meets some interesting characters along the way.

This isn't a book I would usually buy but I was looking for something different and this was it. The situation is believable, as you read more, you are pulled into the story and you cannot help but keep reading.
