Another fabulous book from Marie Hall.  As a long time fan of her Kingdom Series and other fantasy books, I was looking forward to this book as well, even though it is a not in the same genre as her other works.Ms. Hall consistently writes great stories about interesting characters.  I love how each story and couple have different challenges and chemistry with each other.  I loved Ryan and Liliana both as individuals and as a couple.  They each had their struggles and problems to deal with but they were so loving and wonderful together.  I especially appreciated that we got to read their romance unfold over quite a long period of time (one year) and really see their relationship with each other develop.  Although both characters are young, they are both quite mature and the direction in which their relationship progresses makes sense.  My heart broke for them while reading about their problems.  I also loved the secondary characters and hope that there's another book for Alex soon.The conflict and issues in the book was quite ambitious as well and I felt that the writer approached these topics with sensitivity and care.  I really felt that I was able to understand how someone dealing with these issues would react.  The conflicts that arose due to these sensitive issues were completely believable.  It was so hard to read about Ryan's issues and Liliana's struggle with getting him to open up about it as we all know how it feels sometime to be unable to help someone that we love.By the end of this book, I felt like Ryan and Liliana were really my friends and I never wanted to leave their world.  I hope to read about them again soon.  This was truly a suberb book and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read a beautiful romantic story about two deserving characters.
