Best Freaking Book in the series! !Ooooh Lili, what are you doing to me?? My heart, my poor poor heart. You've outdone yourself with Five Miles. I was hurting, I was panting, and I was scared. You made my heart melt with Elliot, and you broke my heart at the end with Jase -sigh... freaking perfect.If you loved Seven Sons & Six Brothers you'll be over the moon with Five Miles. Nope, I'm not fan-girling, it's the god damn truth!I can't give away too much and can only advice you read my previous reviews and def start this series!! It's one of the best novella series I've ever read.Sammi was awesome and I got to know her even better in book 3, and I've no idea how she's holding on but she has my utter respect. She faces the ugly and painful truth every damn day when being with Dornan (<-- yep I still hate his guts, now even more!)."Here's what I have learned from living with the devil: It's not enough to simply do what he says. It's not enough at all. To keep him distracted, you both have to believe the lie." ...oh and she does..He's his usual disgusting, brutal, and lethal self and I despise him. Dornan is sick and I'd be scared endless in Sammi's place. Five Miles starts off where Six Brothers ended -Sammi in the hospital where she takes a night trip to Elliot.Oooh Elliot, I'm torn between you and Jase because I feel you; I truly do. Sammi and his flashbacks were sugar sweet and painful to read to the same time. " 'Elliot," I whispered, 'I'm in love with you.' His eyes searched mine, glassy and worried. I swallowed thickly. 'Do you - do you feel like this, too?' He nodded slowly."I understand him so well why he wants her out of this nightmare. He can't stand hearing what she's doing and accepts what Dornan is doing to her -aaaagh, me neither! He's struggling with everything -past and presents colliding with each other: "All I wanted was you, Julz. ... I shouldn't have left you. I'm sorry. Every day, I think about you. What might have been." Do you hear that?? This was my heart breaking for him/them.Then there's Jase, her love. The only brother she can't seem to fool, hurt, or lie to. It is eating her slowly alive and oh gosh I could sooo feel her suffering (damn Lili, I blame you lol). The weight on her shoulders is slowing but surely dragging her down. "It's almost like dying...little by little; piece by piece. Burnt out, shattered, breaking apart under the weight of my lies - and I still have five to go.""You can lie to the boy you've loved since you were fifteen years old, but that doesn't mean he'll believe you. ..."This was again, one crazy ride and I can't believe the plan she had this time -thanks to Elliot. You'd think, BAM, problem solved,nope...not one bit. Dornan seems indestructible.But that's not the only thing what happened while trying to bring them down... some brothers are not as stupid as she thought and she's walking on thin ice... so thin that my heart was literally hammering out of my chest.Just read this book!! The ending...OMG!!...that's all I'm saying."His lips leave my mouth and trail hot, wet kisses down my neck. 'I'll stop,' he gasps between kisses. 'You say stop and I'll stop, I swear to you.' .... 'Don't stop.' ... "**COPY GIFTED**
