I can't deny that I liked this book. So, with that being said, you are probably wondering why I gave this a 3.5 star review. Well, you have to remember with me, that isn't a low rating. I RARELY give books 5 stars. My ratings usually fall between three and four stars when I like a book. It takes A LOT to get that 5 star rating from me!
So onward I go.... This book tugged at my heart in quite a few places. The loneliness inside that Madeleine carried is enough to torture anyone's soul. Her not knowing how to let herself go and just be is heart breaking. So when someone challenges her soul, there is only one thing to do.... Brace yourself for more heart break?
Heart break is what Reid is ready to give from the word go.... Well, he doesn't intend on it, but it happens. Then the torture the two endure once it happens.... Two tortured souls unwilling to let love in equals a story that is sure to bring about emotions all of the way around.
Now to get to the rating, there is a reason for it. Although I liked this book, it had its moments. Its moments where it lost me and my mind went elsewhere. Melissa is a good author, however, there are parts where she reels you in, your heart starts to swell, and then she just shifts away leaving you lost and unfocused. At least that's where I was. It was almost like she was afraid to deliver that final blow of emotion you are begging for to happen.
Is this book worth reading? Yes. Will you regret reading it? Absolutely not. ( )

Just a quick review for this one. I enjoyed it. Listened to the audio for it (which is why it took me so long to finish). Not a bad reading, though at times the narration may have influenced my opinions of some scenes.

I like how Collins let the book end and I'll be looking forward to continuing the series. ( )

To be honest I was in the mood for a romance novel so I got this one for free on iBooks. Its the first book in a pretty long series. As of this moment I am on book three (Let Love Shine). This book is good, its not out of this world or anything like that, but it will get you out of a reading slump(books like this often do). Its your basic romance novel. Its easy to read and fun. It starts off with a girl named Maddy who has lost her parents and ends up living with her aunt.... who then dies a while after that. After Maddy's aunt dies she lives with her best friend and her best friend's mother (Melanie and Momma) and from there her and Melanie move to college. There she makes friends and meets Reid. He seems like a douche at first but they soon begin to fall in love. After they have grown close and are in a very committed relationship Reid tells Maddy his secret. He lost his family too, but in a totally different way(I won't spoil it for you). They fall deeper and deeper in love, and then some things happen and I can't really tell you about it because I would ruin it for you. Anyway its a....

This sounds good and I might give it a try after the second book comes out, if it's the end. I'm getting tired of surprise cliffhangers or to be continued books.
