Review: Raw, Real, Wrecked, and Loved....
Rating: 5 out of 5

Raw, Real, Wrecked, and Loved....all emotions across the spectrum played out in this non-fairy tale ending of an amazing Novel. The use of emotions that grip you to your core and make you feel the highs and lows are intense. Absolutely not my mothers fairy tale or fiction for that matter!Leo is incredible and sexy and strong, but even the strong have breaking points. His just involves one fire-cracker of a woman who even as a young woman, tattoo's her name on his heart and mind. Even fighting against the urges to forget her and move on he can't and you feel his pain and depth of longing and love for her.Annalise is the girl next door (who yes, is a stipper) and falls for Leo even though she is moving forward from a heartbreak in her own life. A whirlwind romance, with her trying to hold onto a tornado that is Leo. And even she knows, "No matter how much I loved you, it would never be enough. I'll never be enough." for Leo. She knows that Leo and Lil are written in the stars."Life...Real life is a beautiful yet painful struggle. It's a poetic pull and tug of smiles and tears, laughter and sobs."There is no way a review could ever do this book or the previous "A Woman Gone Mad" justice. The author takes your emotions and shakes you to your core and you can't help not wanting to put the book down and get to the end just to know what happens next. If I could review this a million times over there wouldn't be enough stars to cover the incredible story of 'Leo and his Lillian'!
