***THIS ARC BOOK WAS GIVEN TO ME IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW***If you have not read AWGM (A Woman Gone Mad, book 1), then you need to read it first to fully feel and understand HHIM (Holding Her in Madness, Book 2).When you first start reading the prologue you are at almost the end of the book, and Kimber wrote this book in the same format as the first book. Then in chapter 1 you’re taken back in time to when it all started, and this time from Leo’s POV. I loved this book as much as I did the first one and I hope I will not repeat myself too much in this review. Kimber’s writing is amazing, outstanding and she pulls you in and keep you reading until the end. There are a few more characters to this story and Kimber does not disappoint you. I have to say it again, Kimber writes like she has been writing for years, she knows when to give you what you need and when to wait for the rest.You get to know more about Leo the main character for this book and how this heartbreaking love story with Lillian took place from his POV. You get to know a little more about some of the other characters from book 1 and there are a few new characters, Annalise and her story with Leo is also heartbreaking. You are drawn into this story from the very beginning and you will never want to put this book down until you finish it. Kimber paints you a picture so well that you are there during every moment and you feel all of it. As you read this book you remember book one and it gives you the rest of the story parallel to Lillian’s story in book 1.As the synopsis says this book is not for the faint of hearts it has everything from foul language that famous F* word used a lot, to the depth of hell more than once, tragedy, violence, sex, abandonment, self loathing and hatred, drugs, alcohol, but then you also have passion, hope, humor, love, and that all not everyone finds epic soul mate love. Kimber takes you on this rollercoaster ride from teenager to adult with raw emotion, and you will feel every emotion with her, happy, sad, sexual passion, love, hatred, self loathing, anger, and so much more. I found myself going from one extreme emotion to the next and my heart broke and ache for Leo throughout the book even though I wanted to slap him a lot.The epilogue does take you further into the future and answers the questions you were left with from book one and for me it round out the story and you finally see the HEA of this gut wrenching story. I loved how in the end it brought all the main characters together and made you feel like it was one big happy family with friendship, love, and the completion of two soul mates epic love for each other.I tried to give you a review without spoiler’s as I do not like them in reviews, but it was hard as this Book HHIM is utterly one amazing book and I hope I gave it justice, as some of you will relate to part of this story as I did as I remember my past. HHIM reached into my soul and touched me to the core of my being, and I am sure that this one will touch you just as much. I recommend this book to everyone; buy the book and the first one too and you will not be sorry, it is a must read and do not forget to buy the box of tissues as you will need them at times as you will laugh until you cry and cry until you laugh.I would give this book 9 star if I could, but it gets all 5 that I am allowed to give. One last note as I know that this is the end of this story, but I do hope that Kimber S. Dawn will continue to write more books, and this one will definitely stay with me forever and I am a true fan of Kimber’s.***Review has been done in conjunction with Nerd Girl Official.***
