My thoughts…Omigosh! I’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting for this one!!! As soon as I read the synopsis at the end of book one I knew I had to read this book. I couldn’t get my hands on this little gem fast enough. :D The storyline was unique. Ms Lee captured my attention from page one and didn’t let go until the very end. As I write this I’m still reeling from it.(Please not that all the books in the series can be read as standalones. You do not have to read the first book before you read this one, but let me tell you… book one was amazing too. So you’ll want to read it)The hero: Quinn. *swoon* Let me just say he is amazing!!! I loved everything about him. I felt so bad for him and what he’s went through. He carries a lot of guilt around. In doing so he doesn’t think he deserves to be happy in life. I couldn’t help, but sympathize with him. I wanted so badly for him to move past the guilt and start living life again.The heroine: Ella. What a beautiful girl all around. I loved everything about her too. She seemed wiser than her years. She made for an amazing friend.Together: I loved these two together. They’ve both experienced loss in their short lives. Even though the circumstances of the losses they suffered were different they were able to connect with each other. Ella aka Gabriella (Gabby) was such a good listener for Quinn (Daniel.) She helped him see that he in fact was worthy of love. It was because of her that he thought maybe he did deserve to move on.Smexy Times: Ok. Now there aren’t a lot of smexy times in this book and I’m okay with that. They storyline was so unique that I was drawn in and frankly sex really wasn’t the main focus for me. Having said that… this book has what I say is the “best first kiss of all first kisses ever.” Yes, I know. That’s saying a lot, but here’s the deal. The tension between these two was so strong. It kept building and building and then finally when they come together for the first time I was like W-O-W! That was freaking hot. All first kisses should be that hot. Know what I’m on saying? :)Overall: I think this book was amazing!!! From the storyline, the characters, to the overall setting of this book I loved every word of it. As you can imagine, I will definitely be insisting that all my friends read this book. I loved, loved, loved it!!! I will be reading it again in the future. It’s defiantly one I will be purchasing for my shelves.
