☆☆☆☆☆ 5 Only in His Eyes Stars ☆ ☆☆☆☆Behind His Eyes: Convicted-The Missing Years was a spellbinding and captivating read that you could not put down. Aleatha Romig did a phenomenal job in this 4th installment where readers are immersed in not only Tony’s POV but as well as from Harry, John, Brent and Phil. In their eyes, we are welcomed to a whole a new fresh perspective of what these men had to endured from Tony’s legal troubles to Claire being institutionalized. They say the eyes are useless when the mind is blind and so Ms. Romig will open our eyes in this final installment. Nothing is black and white. Love is not perfect. The truth hurts. And behind their eyes is a story to be told.The passion and love Tony had for Claire was undeniable.  His love and devotion for Claire was seen and felt throughout this book. Tony went through hell and back defending his love for Claire and Nichol. In his eyes, readers got to see the real pain, heartbreak, and  loss Tony had to endure from the trial to his prison time. Every ounce of raw pain, anger, guilt, shame and heartache could be felt.  Tony’s perspective brought a fresh new outlook on what he had to face and admit. His past was something that couldn’t be erased and once his sins were exposed, Tony had to finally face his consequences. Tony’s POV while he was in prison was eye-opening. For the first time, readers got to see the reasoning behind of why Tony wanted set Claire free.Ms. Romig did an exceptional job in showcasing the strong connection and bond of Tony and Claire. In my opinion, I felt their love was similar to a Chinese proverb called the Red Strings of Fate.  In this proverb, it states “ an invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place and circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle. But it will never break.” I truly believe Tony and Claire were fated for each other and were the missing piece to each other’s heart. Though, what started as an unconventional romantic tale, the battles and obstacles they endured was a testament that love conquers all. Tony and Claire are not perfect but the imperfections of their love makes it perfect for them.  They say the beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides and in Claire’s eyes, the love she has for Anthony Rawlings was the only thing that existed.  For years, Tony was living in the dark and Claire and Nichol brought light into his eyes. Behind Tony’s eyes, lies a man who found light, love, and the meaning to live.What I truly love about this book was that we finally got to know what Claire told Meredith.  In the eyes of Harry, Phil, John and Tony, they finally got a glimpse and understanding of what Claire truly felt when she was with Tony.  What truly surprised me in this book was that I began to see a whole new side of John and was in love with his character. I began to see that John was indeed a good and honest man. In John’s eyes, we get an inside glimpse that he finally understood that Tony and Claire’s love knows no limits, but ardently transcends all bounds.Behind His Eyes: Convicted-The Missing Years was a riveting conclusion of this captivating series. Behind Tony’s Rawlings eyes, lies a story of man who was hated, loved and redeemed. Tony and Claire’s story reminds us all that regardless of time and separation, true love isn’t easy but must be fought for. And of course there are always consequences for every action.Thank you Ms. Romig for bringing us Tony and Claire!
