I could not wait to start reading this book! I love LL’s writing and was excited to see what she had in store for us this time. First thing is I absolutely love when the title fits the story, you know like when you’re reading it and it just clicks. This was the case for me, the title was perfect. I fell in love with this story right away, it just flowed so well. I love reading different POVs that way you get a glimpse at what both characters are thinking. Ellis is a down to earth sexy SWAT member who does not flaunt it. He tries to keep to himself while his best buddy is pushing to fall in love. Sammi is a beautiful superstar singer who is being threatened by an unknown stalker. Neither one have love on their radar, especially with the pasts they keep hidden away. Ellis never wants anybody to find out where he came from and what he left behind; these secrets that he has locked away are keeping him from moving forward and being happy. How do you just move on from never knowing what happened to someone you love with every fiber of your being? Sammi has her own secrets that she pushed so far away, that it keeps her from thinking she isn’t worth it.  Can you move past something that tore your world apart and let your heart out with the chance of being shattered again? When Ellis and Sammi touch for the first time they both knew something was happening that electric current that they felt was so strong. Ellis feels he could never be good enough for Sammi so he tries with everything that he has to keep her at a distance. Sammi knows this isn’t something she can ignore, so she is fighting like hell for Ellis to admit his true feelings. Just when you they think everything is working out and the threat for Sammi’s life is gone everything falls apart. Ellis doesn’t know what to do with his feelings for her and thinks he can only make her life worse. Sammi can’t breathe without thinking about Ellis, she does everything to get to him, when she reaches out to him will he finally come to his senses?  Just when he thinks he can leave his heart out things take a turn for the worse, of course this going to happen in a LL Collins story! She has to make you sweat a little and shed a few tears. I was screaming in my head at Sammi to pay attention! She lets her guard down way to easily and things turn out like she never imagined. Ellis is determined to get her back, he needs her back. LL really out did herself with this story; it has become one of my favorites, easily. I loved reading about Ellis and Sammi, how true love come alongs when you’re least expecting it. This is not a mushy, perfect story, that’s what I liked best, that things were hard; it wasn’t just fall in love and be happy all the time. With all the secrets they both were keeping they learned to move forward and lean on one another, hence the true meaning of love. Great job LL! Definitely a 5 star read!
