EL Todd has yet to disappoint. The story continues where book one (Sadie) left off but is told from the perspective of Jared.Of course you know the book can not be all rainbows and unicorns because there would then be no reason for a book, so I was eager to read what happens. Some of it is between Jared and Elisa and some has to do with outside influences. It was different reading about a main male character's eagerness for love. Usually it's the woman who is over the top not the man. But although saying he understanding to Elisa's situation, I think he falls short by truly getting it by the actions he took. I get his heart is breaking but what this woman went through with losing her husband and how it beyond traumatic. Also you get more insight later in the book as to other reasons why Elisa has emotional moments related to the relationship. The whole story relating to this couple is heartfelt and warm.Now for the one dislike.. Since this is book 2 we all know by now that Elisa's husband was murdered while being mugged on the street. It was violent and horrific. Without giving the story away I will try to say this without revealing much to a new reader. So with that being said, certain parallel's to what happened with the situation with her husband, arise with Elisa. There is never an answer as to why, which in my mind there is a reason for it. Also, as much as I loved the epilogue one word is missing. BUT there is a book about Layla coming so that word may be answered. I hope the author may also answer the why mentioned above as well as this may be intertwined with Layla's story.Overall a great book.
