LL Collins continues to shine at telling us a story that offers equal parts honesty, attraction, steam and a great plot. I wasn’t sure what to expect from Ellis. Yes he is down right delicious, but there is so much more to the man. He has his heart buried well beneath that bulletproof vest he wears as a SWAT team member. The Prologue clearly lays out why a seemingly unbridgeable gap exists to his heart. I was absolutely drawn into the line ~Love. Such a small word for a huge commitment of feelings. ~ Ellis is a no nonsense, get the job done, protective alpha male right through to the core. Sam, the newest singing sensation, was a surprise. I wasn’t expecting her to be as bold or strong as she was when it came to Ellis. Their chemistry and instant attraction was hot and very much irresistible. I found myself wanting them together all the time. Sam is certainly someone I can relate to. She sees what she wants and goes after it. Not carelessly or without weighing the options. She is well aware of the price of fame, following her dreams and in the end, finding and holding on to the love she desperately wants.Their histories are heartbreaking and extremely relevant to the present circumstances. I found myself falling desperately in love with the most unlikely man. Well, maybe not a man, but rather men. When two special men in the book say son lovingly I felt filled with rich emotion. LL Collins is a master at making you FEEL. The tender, authentic moments reveal a vulnerability that I’m drawn to. The relationships in this story are epic. Friendships and family are the pinnacle. Life is far from perfect, but the journey to right the wrongs is beautiful. This is a story filled with twists and turns where the past, present and a possible future collide.  Ellis and Sam are explosive in this must read novel.
