Epic! I cried my ass off and went to work with book depression. Yes, that is a real condition! I read all night because Leo was just.... F---ing awesome!!!! Yes I cried all the way through the book. I cried for Lil. Then I cried for Leo. The I cried for Analise. I cried for both Leo and Lil. When I came to the end I cried because I had finished. That is what you call book depression. Sounds sad right? But the beauty of this is that it was magnificent! I loved it! It was cathartic crying because when you read this book it is real. It is RAW. It isn't your typical romance novel it is the boy next door romance. The man you fell for that you lost and by chance bump into them again. Yeah reality. And though you don't get the happy ending that you dreamed of as a girl when you realized that you are falling in love. This book gives you the possibility of living through it in the way you dreamed. Don't know what I am talking about? Yes, yes you do! Think back to when you got your heart broken for the first time. before the heart break you thought that you had found the one... RIGHT? Well when it didn't happen you were devastated. Flash forward... what would happen if you ran into him? You know you have thought about it. Well Kimber puts it out there for you to imagine it. Because Lil and Leo well they find out that first Love can be everlasting you just have to keep holding on and fight for it. No matter the time or distance.I love her writting it was real. I could close my eyes and picture them, not as magical but as maybe my friends, or myself F~bombs and all. Real, Raw and Epic are the words that come to mind when I think of this book. Lil and Leo are my new Romeo and Juliet. Maria and Tony... Only they don't die they live. I give this book 10 stars. I can't stop thinking of these 2 characters who now live in my heart along with my favorites.I can't wait to read more of what this author has to give. First , I have to say, you have to read A Woman Gone Mad before you read this one.You starting out , well getting a "Fuck You" from Leo. This my friends, starts the bluntness of Leo and his side of the story. I could not put this book down for nothing. So much passion , darkness, this takes you back and every emotion you felt from AWGM, well you get it again ...100 proof... Leo truly loves Lil in his own screwed up way. You can't help but fall in love with him and his persistence to get Lil. Lil let everyone live her life for her and let life go away from her. She never truly lived with Leo and him the same way. Sure, they both found companionship , but never true love.This book is a journey of raw emotions ! Also you get a little more of a ending to this book. This series is like no others and for that , Kimber , YOU ROCK!!!“You let me catch you, firecracker. Now there is no damn way in hell I’m letting you go.” Loved that part....
