I loved this story.Wow.Wow!!!  Literally, eyes bugged out in pure awe.  LOVED IT!!! Loved the characters, loved the plot, LOVED the opera.  And I’m am not a true opera fan.  But seeing these characters so invested in what THEY like and how much their life is using their beautiful voice- GAH I wish I was a character just to sit in the audience and listen for real.Sophie is strong and such a funny witty(even though I don’t think she knows just how much) woman! She is totally kick ass kinda gal.  I love her. You think she’s going to be this shy, reserve chick when you first meet her, when you find out what all she’s dealing with but she shocks you.  She’s in a bit of a major predicament-funds are incredibly low and family structure isn’t there (having lost both her parents). She’s running low on happiness and love and warmth.  She’s the guardian of her younger teenage sister which is hell in itself. She does, however have a great support system. Her friends. When someone…bad… comes bounding after her they are there to help her and she vows she can and will do it on her own. This is the major dun dun dunnnnn part of the story but I really don’t want to talk about it.  Three, I don’t want to give it away. Two you WILL find out soon enough when you read this because, lets face- YOU SO WANT TO READ THIS!!!  One,  I want to talk about Rafael!!!!!Rafael. oh my….let me take a breath….ohmygodheissodevineandomgiwanthimWhen Sophie first sees Rafael she is just as hooked as I am. She can’t stop it or control the want.Some people want the fire, but don’t want to get burned. Rafael is my fire, and I want to toss myself into the flames, burn completelyThe instant he appeared on the page I was a goner.  Done.  Wrap me up and send me off.  I loved him immediately. There is just something about him that comes across through words that my heavens I wish he was real!!You know when you read and in your head you think something and 99% of the time it doesn’t happen the way your head played it out well….I thought something the instant they meet and with in no time my thoughts were exactly what happened.  I LOVED THAT!!!!!I wanted to scale the walls and kiss her. Hold her. Stare into her eyes.He is such a spectacular character. Trying to hold back when he can’t and doesn’t really want to.  I love how he talks and how he acts with her.  How bad and how much he needs her, wants her. It’s amazing to actually see it come through and it not be only likable.  I can’t stop saying love.  It’s truly how I feel. He has his own secrets and as the book goes it makes you want to know more and more what they are.I love their connection, their banter, they sexy flirty (it’s not over the top flirting either, it’s mellow but still brought a smile to my face) Even though they wanted to try and not do anything about them, they couldn’t stop it.“I wanted to see you, why are you drinking?”“I feel like I’m losing control of my life. What’s your reason?”“I’m about to lose my entire universe.”The plot, although not new (people troubles-money troubles), it adds much suspense to the story revolved around Rafael and Sophie. I kept me intrigue on every page.  Even between Soph and Rafael there is some suspense…. When you figure out it at first you are intrigued and you want to know desperately bad!! Along the way these secrets are revealed but other are kept until that perfect jaw dropping moment. Everyone has a past. Everyone isn’t perfect.There are a million roads that lead to a million other places. A road to forgetfulness and the effort of drowning your past; a road to fuck-ups and having to move on. But there’s only one true road that leads to what I’ve been searching for. The one that brings me to you.4.5 million times blue butterfly everywhere stars from me!!!!!*reveived a complimentary copy from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review*
