Oh, how I have been waiting to get my hands on this story.  On Luke’s story.I’ve loved him since book one, and was dying for more from him in book two.  He makes me smile, my heart ache, and my eyes shed tears…. and okay, I’ll admit, my ladybits tingle.Starting Black Rose, I kept preparing myself for what could happen.  I mean, what hasn’t already happened to him?  Between the love of his life dying, going to jail, giving up his kids…could he withstand anymore?And Coco?  I love her.  She’s been the perfect supporting character in the past two books.  Hilarious, quirky, mischevious, caring.  In book two we learn she has a relationship with Luke’s old band-mate.  And in book three we find out its not all rainbows and sunshine.  She loves him, but does he love her back?  Is he even capable of loving anymore more than himself and his music?Luke is out of jail and barely surviving.  He doesn’t want to live life, so he dulls the pain with alcohol and hermits himself in his house.Coco is struggling with her relationship and her health.  So when she sees her lifelong friend sitting in his backyard in the middle of the night when they both can’t sleep and face their dreams?  It’s obvious that it’s the start of something wonderful.The whole book I found myself hoping that this would be Luke’s happily-ever-after.  That he would finally find some peace in his world that’s been nothing but tragedy and pain.But Coco loves her boyfriend, no matter how wrong she knows he is for her.  No matter how her feelings are changing for Luke, she’s loyal to her six year relationship.Can Coco and Luke find each other?  Can they push past the chaos and heartbreak in their lives and grab what’s right in front of them?
