You want a book to put you through the ringer? Look no further than Desperation of Love. Going into this story, I thought I knew how Alex and Jordan were going to play out. How wrong can one person be? The development of these two character's story is just mind-blowing. You think you know what is behind their emotions and then...BAM...Author Montalvo-Tribue, throws in an open-mouth unbelievable perfect monkey wrench. The fact that she does it multiple times is pure literary genius. These depths of feelings are like nothing I've ever read. The reasons behind Jordan being the "take what you physically want without any sort of emotional connection" is absolutely brilliant. Alex, the swoon worthy, how-could-she-not-fall-head-over-heels-for him, male lead makes you feel his desire for Jordan, amongst major envy for her, that she is the reaping his vast appreciation for the physical. You cannot read this book and NOT become emotionally invested in these characters; it is impossible. I went through the gamut of emotions along with them. Seeing Victor and Elle continuing there amazing love story was just an added bonus. Not to mention the amazing secondary characters, you just feel so much a part of their world. The ending was perfect and again, left me in awe! Montalvo-Tribue has quickly become one of my favorites. Regardless of the story, if her name is attached to it, I will read it and know I will walk away with a classic, original, and heart-warming perfect story.
