What did I love about this book?Besides the fact that K Larsen described Cane Ash as Cuban and the first person that popped to my head was William Levy *sighs*. Maybe it’s because she manages to give us 2 broken souls that no matter the distance, time and the hell life was going to give them,  were still meant to be soulmates. How messed up is that right? The one man that broke Cypress White is also the only man that can save her. Vice versa.“I’m so sick and twisted. Is it possible to love someone so deeply that you can hate them as well?”This is an Epic love story, but dark and twisted. That’s how I see it. They met in HS and it was InstaLove. Only problem his family and how he lived. Above it all, he loved her so much he would change and throw it all away for her. Until his uncle Ezra ruined it all. Brain washed Cypress, hurt her in the worse way possible, brain washes Cane and the InstaLove is InstaBroken. So now come the years of lies and betrayal. Cypress dies and Magnolia Ash is born. Cane literally dies, at least that’s what Mags has believed all along, and has become such a ruthless man. Not complaining.“She was my glue, my reason for staying good. My reason for constantly striving to be a better man, a decent man. When she vanished, so did my moral compass. I was truly lost without her.”What does that tell you? The man you loved is dead. The woman you loved betrayed you. And the sweet innocent uncle sits back and enjoys the show plotting his next move. So much pain and neither one of them bothered to open their eyes. Blinde by hate. Oh it turns out Mags ran away with a backpack with some very important material inside. Uncle Ezra must get it back. Another thing I enjoyed about the story were the characters that Mags chose to let in her life. Aster, Bentley (Oh Bent), Penny, Brock. Together they get Mags to a point where I no longer wanted to kill her. What I’m saying is a heroine worth liking and reading about.“I don’t make mistakes, I date them. And I need another mistake like I need a hole in my head, no to mention finding a good guy, a ral man worth fighting for is like coming across a unicorn in your backyard. Legend. Myth. Fairytale. Does. Not. Exist.”What I didn’t like about the story?Duh. Uncle Ezra Ash, the douchebag. I hated how loyal Cane was to him. I get the blood is thicker than water, and bros before hoes, but for the love of God, he was lying righ infront of your face Cane. Why was he in your house with your girlfriend when shes made it clear to you she didn’t trust or like him.“Do you think you belong with her? Your legacy is with us. Family. You’re no better than I am. Do not forget that you come from a long line of scumbags. You’re just like me.”Feed that BS to someone for so long they actually start believing it. I didn’t agree with something Mags does. Not giving it away. One minute she’s breaking down running to someone and 5 minutes later she’s running to someone else. Those were the moments I wanted to kill Magnolia.Do I recomment this Book?Yes. It can be read as a standalone. There is mention of the characters from Tug of War and the tatoo parlor, Bloodlines Tattoo, but nothing that will ruin the reading order. If you’re lookig for a page turner, with sweet lies, revenge, 2 kick ass main characters, one hateful villain, a few great friends and your not so usual HEA. This is it. I had to find ways of being nice to Katie after that ending. If you’re anything like me then you’ll love it. Go after K Larsen not me ok. Adapt or Die *winks*….Happy Readings!!
