Seeing Red Kindle Edition

by E. L. Esch (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.0 out of 5 stars 31 ratings

What would you do if you lost five years of freedom? If everything you’d ever known was torn away from you, all because the one person you counted on to save you didn’t come through?

This became my reality when I was convicted at age nineteen for the murder of my father. Now twenty-five and eight months out of prison, I have nothing to my name except a crummy apartment and the horrifying memories that keep me locked in my past.

Then I meet Silo Winters, a man so much like me, yet so different that it drives me crazy. How could someone who went through the same hell I did in prison still look at life so cheerfully? I’ve never been able to let go of the past as effortlessly as he can, but when he’s with me I start to believe that maybe, just maybe, I might have the strength to try.

Seeing Red is a slow-burn, grumpy/sunshine story of two ex-convicts helping each other find their footing–and so much more–in life after years in lockup. The story was originally published in 2013 and has had sections rewritten, but remains largely the same.

CONTENT WARNING: This books contains mentions of past sexual assault.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2021

    Seeing Red was about Red and Silo finding themselves after they were released from prison. In both of their cases they experienced some horrible circumstances. Silo was just a stupid kid with rotten luck, but Red was a tragedy. My heart went out to the two of them but particularly Red. I was frustrated on his behalf when I read what had happened. The system definitely failed him multiple times. As much as I cheered them on and was happy each time Red and Silo made progress both individually and together as a couple I did think the story was a little slow. I also thought Tito was a little out of place. Up until the end, the story was not a suspenseful story. It was a contemporary drama about two young men finding their place. Then for a minute, there was some minor build-up and an Incident, but then we were back to contemporary drama. It just didn’t quite fit, at least for me. However, I do enjoy a happy ending.

    Fairly interesting, if a bit uneven in execution. I liked the characters well enough, although I wasn’t really drawn in by them, didn’t feel emotions come through.

    I found this story so well written. The main characters Red and Silo, are wonderful. Their experiences are hard and Silo is much better at putting it behind him. Though with his help Red eventually works through his deserved anger and pain. He's really lucky that Silo was always able to "see Red" “I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.”

    Silo and Red were both good characters and I liked reading their interactions. The beginning oft he boom was a little slow for me, a lot of Red feeling sorry for himself and being kind of irritated with Silo's more cheerful outlook, not that I blame him after everything he'd been through, but it did make for a slower paced story.
    The writing was a little rough, but not bad. I've never read this author before but I'd read more of her work.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 4+ stars- Addictive and original story
    Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2021
    Format: Kindle
    I love surprise finds and that’s exactly what Seeing Red was for me. Hurt-comfort romances are a favorite trope of mine and the blurb for Seeing Red was too enticing to pass up. As with any new-to-me author, I was a little unsure what to expect—as to the angst level, character depth, and writing style—but overall I was really pleased. Admittedly the writing didn’t feel overly polished, something that stood out considering I’d just finished a number of my seasoned, tried and true authors’ recent releases. But for what Seeing Red lacks in refinement, it more than makes up for with an addictive, original story.

    I absolutely loved how Seeing Red takes such a difficult selection of topics, situations, and experiences, and works through them systematically without ever feeling overly heavy. Of course much of this is due to Silo’s personality. He has such a bright positivity and jubilant outlook that I couldn’t help but be caught up in his energy. And yet, Silo’s personality doesn’t mute the seriousness of Red’s and his experiences. Instead, readers get a wonderful story that embraces the highs and lows, delivering a sweet romance with two men who are undoubtedly great for each other.

    There’s always a bit of uncertainty when going into a newer or new-to-me author’s work. The blurb of Seeing Red left me expecting angst and raw emotion. I got that and more, and would definitely recommend this title to fans of hurt-comfort romances. I’ll certainly be on the lookout for more from this author.

    Silo and Red so “get” each other – and that is the underpinning to their relationship that only gets stronger as they move along in their relationship. Both men are strong multi-dimensional characters who perfectly fit together despite the apparent significant difference in their personalities. The author writes well with humor and intensity.

    This started off really strong as a perfect setup for a hurt/comfort read, but didn't quite make it there for me. I loved both MC's so much, but by the end I felt like I was reading the same thing over and over. There were so many conversations and fights where they proved their love to each other and it just felt like deja vu to me.

    voluntary review of arc
    Seeing Red by author E.L. Esch is a really deep and heavy read. This is a hurt/comfort romance, so those are usually pretty heavy reads for me. I liked the small details of this story like the chapter names, and other attention to detail add ons.

    Silo has served prison time. But he refuses to let it define who he is.

    Red: he on the other hand is the opposite. He has a lot to deal with and he has not finished doing that yet. I found him really difficult to get into. He is both deep and unfinished at the same time.

    This is a slow start to this story for me. I felt like I had to really wade through Red’s mindset before we got to the story that I really liked. This is not a one-night read, this is one to sit and really sink into a kind read. I found this story okay, I would not re-read it, was too heavy for me. But there is a good romance here and a lot of story to get through.

    MM Hurt/comfort romance, easy to read, page-turning story of two young men recently out of prison and trying to live a somewhat normal life whilst coming to terms with the horrible things that happened to them while confined. Red and Will meet by pure chance at a bar and they find that they have alot in common with each other. The two men turn to each other at a time when they have nobody else.
