**Cole is the second book in the Leaves Series so if you haven't read the first book, Inky, this review might contain spoilers.**This was our fate. Her ugliness and mine made us fit.I was SO thankful when this novel was finally in my possession, definitely my most anticipated read this fall. I started it and finished it in the same day, then started it again. Cole and Anika have a super special place in my heart and their story has truly captured me."Because your pain is my pain, Anika. I can't take it away, but I'll wear it with you."Cole Carlyle, why can't you be real? Page after page he took my breath away and left me weak in the knees. Not only is Cole handsome and suave, he is extremely romantic and genuine. The unconditional, never ending way he cares for Inky turns me into a puddle of goo. Cole's pain bleeds from the pages but his happiness radiates through the clouds. I am completely mesmerized by this perfect man!"I want you to remember this. I want it to be special. Both of us in our cupcake pajamas, me holding you, taking care of you... this is the beginning of our life together... baby."Anika "Inky" Redding is fierce and determined which speaks volumes considering what she has been through. Life has been anything but kind to her but she continues to persevere. The strength Anika possess is inspiring and she is truly badass! I adored the family aspect and it brought tears to my eyes that she finally had what she craved most growing up. I appreciate that Anika stayed true to herself even with the significant changes occurring daily. She is definitely a girl I would love to call a friend."Our happiness... our revenge. But to tell you the truth, I don't even feel that/ I just feel relieved."Cole introduced Anika to a level of true happiness and pure love. He helps her heal and feel complete, especially once returning home. After being abducted, Anika needs Cole more than ever but there is so much uncertainty. Together they can find peace and get their happily ever after. I was wrapped up so tight in their bliss bubble and I never wanted to leave. When the shadows seep into their fairytale, Cole and Anika must fight for their beautiful future.Can they come back from such a dark place?I highly recommend this series for all romance lovers. There are dark and disturbing concepts but it makes the intense, emotional bond between Cole and Anika more meaningful. I constantly felt content throughout this story and was very pleased with how everything came together. Grab these outstanding novels today!"I'm getting my happily ever after, Cole. No one is going to stop us. No one."5 Diamonds
