"I am convinced true love is nothing more than a fairytale we are sold on as children to prolong the inevitable truth. Your heart will be shattered into a million pieces and there is nothing you can do to stop it. So why if this inescapable fate is so tortuous, do we desire it more than anything else in life?”Those happen to be my favorite words from this book. JL Brooks has done it again and I am sitting here blown away by her words, and the emotions that she pures into each story she writes. I am so glad that she sat and wrote this book because it is something that was inside her that needed to come out. I also told her it was going to be AMAZING before I even read a single thought!! She grabbed me with the prologue and then once that happened I was in complete love with the story/stories she was telling and I say stories because really this book holds more than just one. JL managed to take a story and take us on journey that really hasn’t been touched. It is almost impossible to put into words what this book makes you feel. I HATE/LOVE WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO ME!!!“I am constantly trying to transcribe these emotions into written words without actually experiencing them. The real thing was overwhelming and indescribable.”Lila is an author who can’t seem to find any new inspiration for writing that is until her agent finds a box holding her past, holding a love she no longer thinks about. But her agent sees this as a gem and the inspiration Lila needs. Her agent sees this as a chance for Lila to write “Her Story” and she pushes her past right back in her path. This is where I was all HOLY S***?!?!?!“Guys like him didn’t exist, yet here he was shattering any delusions I held about what was real and what was fiction. The lines blurred and suddenly I no longer cared.”Hunter Michaels is the famous DJ “Ariel Assault” traveling the world and it has been decades since these two have seen each other. He is her past and he is the reason she has these huge walls around her heart. However he is also the only one that can tear them down. As we watch these two together we get to see what their past looked like. I have to admit as a girl that lived in a club, I totally got it. But then JL throws in a spin and Hunter and Lila’s relationship turns out to be over yet again and she takes off to once again find herself and heal from what has happened. She starts to write and heal the way she knows how. Then prepare because HOLY H*** BAM here comes her “Muse”. Mr. Teacher/OMG do men really look like him, Grant. At this point I also am questioning why my daughter has never had a teacher like this and what school do I find one!!“It’s not right. I can only imagine the entire class of mom’s fighting to have their child in yours. And parent teacher meetings, I am sure a sexual harassment video has to be shown beforehand. Seriously.”I am not going to lie I would harass him in a couple ways. Grant is everything Lila deserves and he comes to truly care for Lila in just the short time they have gotten to know one another. He opens her up and helps her see other things. And just when you get the warm fuzzy, I totally know where she is going with this story. JL takes the rug and rips it from under your feet. Yep, she leaves you standing there saying WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?! And so I have to stop here because I can’t spoil anymore. I will just let you know JL Brooks got me and I need book 2 more then I need air.Also JL …“Part of your story is missing.”But I LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS, I can never thank you enough for allowing me to be a part of your writing journey. You have possible the biggest heart of anyone I have ever met and it shows in every story you write. I feel more then blessed that God has brought you in my life and I cannot wait to see what else you have to show the world!! NOW YOU BETTER BE WRITING BOOK 2!!!
