This is the first book of Megan Keith I have read…(besides “Eraser”), that had me drooling like a little puppet.At the beginning of the book, I thought Mrs. Keith was talking about me, or at least, at a time about me, when I used to think that men were all the same; they were all cheaters, players that only love you when they’re playing, but mostly, that I would never find the love of my life. And don’t get me wrong, I haven’t found the love of my life…YET!! But at my age (a little bit older than what I would like to be), falling in love and “sigh” the whole day and smile like a complete idiot for no reason…it is or seems to be an unrealistic but a true “desire” deep down inside.I guess this is why, romance books are so popular and never go out of fashion, because crazy, stupid, Mad Love always prevails. It doesn’t matter the genre, or how bad is the bad boy, or how twisted is his mind, or how deep are his lies…romance fiction rocks because almost always, pretty much always, basically, you can say always, there is a Happily Ever After, and no matter what, I will keep reading them. Yeah, Yeah, whatever…who cares if it is not real? I am not complaining specially if, I will find stories like Liv and Joel, that no matter the consequences, their love is deepest than love.The reason Mrs. Keith nailed it with this romance, was because “it can actually happened.” It was so realistic, so true, so close to reality that not only was I entertained, but gave me a sense of hope, a taste of what love can really be despite it all.Olivia and Joel were together but they were also apart. They were together because they wanted to give it a try, to believe and trust and feel alive…but even though their love was a whole, life itself played its card….the joker card.This book should’ve been called “Endless Love with a Happy Ending”…don’t laugh, really. It has nothing to do with the actual “Endless Love” movie, but all to do with “Endless Love” if you get my drift. I mean, come the mother on!...You are not going to get a perfect, and when I mean perfect…I MEAN PERFECT guy like Joel in every step of the way…Charming, smart, caring, considerate, macho, sex God and soooo confident, the Lord! Where can I order one like him? And then you have Olivia, so insecure but with the biggest heart you could ever found. Yes, I know I like strong female characters, but she was way too good of a person that her insecurities were almost transparent, unaccountable. Nonetheless, even with the ups and downs and vicissitudes…their love was endless and I rest my case.Beautiful, passionate, heartfelt…in a nutshell, perhaps I still don’t know what love is…but this story gives you an idea of what love means.=Round of applause here please-
