5 stars for Holding Her in Madness by Kimber S. Dawn!!  This is told from Leo's POV.  The first book is A Woman Gone Mad, and it is told by Lil.Whew!!  This book took me on an emotional roller coaster ride!  I was literally exhausted when I finished it!  If you are looking for soft and sweet, this is NOT the book for you.  It is raw and real.  I loved every minute of it so much so that I read it in one sitting!Leo comes from the wrong side of the tracks, and he just can't stay out of trouble. He has never cared about a woman only using them to fulfill a physical need.  That is until the summer he meets Lil aka his "little firecracker".  She knocks him on his ass, and he falls hard.  After sharing one perfect summer, her dad chases him out of town.  Leo is destroyed, and he feels like he has lost his only reason for living.  His journey is a long and painful one.Leo and Lil have that once in a lifetime love.  It is all consuming.  While their story is a painful one, it is so worth reading when you get to the end.  Kimber Dawn really has a great style of writing,  Through her words, Leo and Lil come to life, and this leaves the reader experiencing their story as if it was his or her own  I highly recommend this book, but reader be warned-you will be left with one hell of a book hangover!  This is one of those few books that stay with you long after you finish reading it.  This book certainly ranks up at the top of my favorite books list so far this year.  I so look forward to reading more from Kimber Dawn in the future!*I was given a copy of this book as a gift by the author in exchange for an honest review!!
