4.5 "I was lost to him the moment I saw him..." KissesHands down one of my favorite series ever. Holy s#^t I cant even begin to describe my emotions - I am over the moon right now! Here's a brief summary of my emotions reading that last installment - excited, elated, horny as hell, dragged down to the deepest depression with tears streaming down my face, then given that sliver of hope, only to have that quickly crushed, heartbroken and ready to lick my wounds I am then brought back to elation, horniness and then eventual big, ginormous goofy @#$ grin. Okay...in order to make myself sound less crazy...if you have no read the first three parts of this series, To Have, To Hold, and Till Death...hold the phone, drop whatever you're doing and go do that. Do Us Part is the conclusion to the four part novella series, The Dumont Diaries. It must be read in order and it must be read. Period. End of discussion. :-)`Even when my heart was falling, free and unrestrained, diving downward into a pool of ridiculousness - my brain knew better. My brain planned for the inevitable, for the disappointment and the disaster that lay ahead. My brain made sure that there would be a parachute to catch me, to insure that my weak heart wouldn't doom the rest of me.'Candy...oh she is a dream in this last book. She held my heart! Like usually (and for obvious reasons) it is the guy that I'm 100% hung up on, but I was fist pumping every word she said, every decision she made - if there ever is a head cheerleader for the `I love Candy' team - it's me! This girl is aaaaamazing! Blew my socks off completely.`Lust is a dangerous thing. It can make you believe things that are not real. It can seduce your mind and lead it blindfolded to the cliff that will be its demise. Nathan takes me to that cliff, my body bending and molding beneath his, my heart coming up for air in between soft caresses with his mouth while his cock hammers out a slick, rapid motion. I gasp, I arc, I dive. I'm not nave enough to think that it has been lust this entire time. I've known what was sneaking in, looking for an opening and begging for admittance. But here, in this island paradise, sharing a bed and conversation with this beautiful specimen of a man...here I can feel the final ties of restraint loosening, allowing the scary thing called love to work its way in.'Nathan - Oh boy...I loved him, I wanted him, in my brain I molested him - but he liked it, so it's okay, right? Then...I wanted to choke him...throttle him...cause him bodily harm for being a dumb @#$...but I didn't. Because I had faith he would pull his head out of his @#$...and he did. Thankfully...he did have me worried for a little bit there.`Even if he doesn't fall in love, being with him, feeling his hands on my body, his eyes on my soul, his laugh on my lips...that will be enough.'The characters and original story line of where this book was taken is what completely held my interest...it's rare for a book to catch me so off guard but this one did it and did it very well. There were two things that wish would have been better resolved...Drew and Cecile. I feel like the way things were left with Drew were very open ended - there was no final 'talk' and I think there should have been, just for closure. Now Cecile - I have soooooo many questions...I get the relationship, I understand the dynamics and all that but there are a lot of unanswered questions - the who, what, when, where and more importantly the why!!!! I am sad that I will never know that...would ease my poor little battered and bruised heart.`A woman's desperation is most clearly spoken in a kiss. And I'm afraid, in this moment, that I bare my soul to him. Everything that I have contained, held back, lied to myself about, comes to the surface, all of my emotions revealed at once, both to me and to him.'Still even with those two factors I completely loved this series. Alessandra has a knack for beautiful writing...it's effortless and catches me off guard with how she can bring out such emotion and power with her words. I can't explain it but she just has a way of taking something that would seem very mundane and making it amazing. I loved Candy and Nathan's story...I will always hope for more and maybe someday we will get that - she did throw me for a loop at one point and gave me a tid bit from Nathan's journal - would LOVE some more of Mr. Blue Eyes POV. A Drew spin off would be awesome too because he is another nut that needs to be cracked. The Dumont Diaries is a heart gripping, panty melting, and hands down fabulous series - an absolute must read!
