I wanted to like the story and characters.
I think the dark elements were good, the sexy/taboo was pretty good.
It just didn’t hold my attention, it dragged.
The characters aren’t multi dimensional enough for me to care about them.
I didn’t feel the connection they had was shown in conversations or in actions.

I think it has a good premise and possibility, the execution just fell short for me.
The drama and surprises/ plot twists didn’t excite me and they should have.
Unfortunate, it had the basics for a good dark romance with damaged characters.

Dark Story with HEA

If someone put cups the back of their neck one more time!!! I swear if I took a shot for every time someone cupped the back of their neck in this story, I’d die from alcohol poisoning. Lol.

This was a darkish story line so if rape and child abuse of the worse kind is a trigger... skip this story.

Overall, this was a great love story. A little angst.
Some action/mystery. And a whole lot of good sex.

It was really hard for me to get on board with this book. Although it appears the two main characters really love one another deep down, the violence in the beginning (ie the heroine is smashed into a stall wall in a bathroom because he is mad to see her out to dinner with an ex) turned me off. I understood it was going to have a lot of darkness given the topic, but I just couldn't get past how he seemed abusive and toxic in the beginning and she just breezed over that and fell for him anyway. I just have a problem with that personally as a storyline... However I did find the writing very well done and the story kept me interested. I just couldn't get on board with the romance aspect.

I can’t believe this book!

It was the most beautiful book I’ve read in a while! Omg! Lily and Lucas fit together so well. The issues they dealt with and how they faced their problems and insecurities head on was beautiful and inspiring! You’d think two addicts would take each other towards their downfall but these two fought against those odds and made it out. The book wrapped up everything perfectly! All the way down to baby Ettie and Lucas finally getting the mom he so desperately wanted! This book was beautifully written and I’m glad i got to read it!

J.M. Walker is one of my favorite authors and I always enjoy the roller coaster ride of deep emotion's. I loved the journey of Lucas and Lily. They have both come from 'broken' tragedy and come together to try and heal each other. It is a powerful story that I just jumped into with both feet. If you like heartbreak then you will like this one. I give it a 1 Million Star Review..especially the added extra's at the end of the book. I do not want to give too many details..as I want the reader to sit back and go along for the ride.
