***CRAZY SEXY, BEAUTIFUL, INTENSE, PURE ARTISTRY***I thought Access All Areas left me awed........ Access Restricted rendered me speechless!!!!The epic rock love story of Tristan and Lily continues with even more beautiful prose and an amazingly crafted storyline........There are books you read and books you savor.  Access Restricted is one you savor.  I found myself reading slower just to make sure I took it all in - every word Alice Severin writes has meaning and purpose. I have never been this totally consumed and emotionally invested in book before (let alone a series).  Ms. Severin has a way of making you feel like you are part of the story - she doesn't describe the surroundings she makes you feel them.  She paints a picture so vivid that I felt every emotion Lily and Tristan experienced.We knew this book would reveal secrets of Tristan's past.  There are a lot of people that don't want to see them together, and Lily will find out painful and heartbreaking things first hand.  She will need to decide for herself what to believe and who to trust.  But, surprising, Lily finds and ally among the enemies to help her navigate Tristan's past.Amid of all the concerts, interviews, and craziness Lily and Tristan struggle to keep their relationship alive.  Their NEED for one another is deep seeded.  Their powerful connection and passion still runs hot as ever.  But, their vulnerability and past experiences come back to haunt them.  And, Lily's self-doubt and second guessing will impact her decisions and actions.The turns the story took were interesting and REAL.  The realness and genuineness of Lily and Tristan make them so likable that you will be rooting for them at every turn.Tristan and Lily are both still damaged and flawed, but through the interviews, I now feel like I know Tristan and even understand him.  We still don't know Lily's story.  I'm still struggling to understand what makes her tick.  I get why Tristan reacts the way he does; but, Lily's actions sometimes seem rash and desperate.  I'm dying to know her story!!!And, that ending!!!  One of the most amazing EVER!  I LOVE IT!My emotions have been put through the ringer with this one.  I'm emotionally exhausted but completely satisfied.  I can't wait to see what the future holds for Tristan and Lily in book 3.If you haven't already one-clicked The Access Series you MUST!  An Alice Severin book is unlike anything you will ever read!!!!  She is an incredible storyteller with a very rare gift for prose.
