At the End of it All - Rae Lyse
This is my first story that I’ve read by Rae Lyse and I am sold on her story telling. The way that she crafted this story, I can’t form the words to how beautifully written this story was. There were so many layers to the characters. This story was a slow burn. Sometimes I have a love hate with those because if you take too long I lose interest. Never happened with this one. The development with these characters had me so engrossed in this story. I had all the emotional attachments with Ace and Lourdes.
Ace was my guy. He was so painfully scarred with a pure heart. I can’t get over the way that he looked out for and cared for Lourdes and her innocence. He understood that she had to learn those lessons of growing up and he let her but not being too far away. The way that he cared for her mom and helped her with Mama CC because of experience just melted my heart. Ace had the world on his shoulders while he drowned his pain. My guy was grieving and self sabotaging himself to numb the pain. My heart was breaking for him. But I was so glad that he developed the relationship with Lourdes.
Lourdes was definitely inexperienced in a lot of ways. She meant well and did what she needed to do to care for those around her. She was trying to be a caregiver although she barely knew how to do most things but she did them. She tried to live her young teenage Iife but with some adult situations going on it was hard to do that. I loved how she ended up loving Ace and how she supported him even if she wasn’t aware of all the things that he consisted of. But I can say that he told her how messed up he was. He didn’t lie to her. His sole purpose was to protect her no matter what.
I fell in love all over again once Lourdes found out how she got her name. It was destiny for these two. I can go on and on with talking about Ace because there were so many levels to him. He was boarder line controlling but even in that I could understand why. Cree- I can’t say that I really liked her or didn’t like her. She was in a tough spot is all I can say. I didn’t like Bryson because you were doing entirely too much and was a hater for real.
Plane Ace was the place to be. No stress. Nothing but love. One can be themselves without judgement. Planet Ace was home. Home is where the heart is!
In case you didn’t know, I freaking loved this story. I hadn’t been this enamored with a story in a long time and I am glad to have read this.
