Lucca and Lexi are finally taking the leap and moving in together. Now that they are engaged, there is nothing standing in their way. Well… almost nothing. Lexi is not normal, she will be the first one to admit it. She has a horrific past that she has spent so much time trying to get beyond. She knows that Lucca is her grounding force. He will ways protect and love her. He will always be her strength when she is weak and her voice when she can’t speak. But he will never be able to fix all of the bad things in her past that have permanently damaged her soul. But he knows that he waill always be there for her. That is what L’Amore is all about!Lexi still has a lot of hurdles from her past and present to over come and she know sthat she is going to marry Lucca. She still has her moments and her insecurities but with Lucca, Lexi truly believes that everything will be ok. He is the one for her. He is her calm and her strength. There is nothing that she can’t handle with him by her side. Except for maybe his past…Her past will always be there, unfortunatley, so will his. But his is women. Many of them and it seems they are all around. It is a lot for Lexi to take in. It becomes even more when one of his past flings happens to be his sister’s best friend. The proximity to Lexi is too much for her to handle. Then there’s Kimberly… another item of his past. Even though she can’t get rid of Anna’s best friend, there has to be something she can do about Kimberly.  Certainly if she can’t do anything, Lucca can.Lucca is probably the most patient and loving man in the history of books. He never seems to get upset at Lexi for anything. Not only that, but he is amazingly handsom, good looking, he has a heart of gold and he treasures Lexi so much. He would do anything for her and give her anything she needs and even things she doesn’t need. But he does it because he loves her and he wants to make her happy.  But is happiness for Lexi completely obtainable?She struggles daily with things from her past, there are little triggers all around her. It can be too much and if she has night terrors, it seems the only thing that can calm her down is Lucca. When things start getting to be too much, Lexi knows something is going to give. Please, please don’t let it be her sanity. But can Lucca be the driving force that gets her beyond her past? Can he be enough to comfort her when it all breaks around her? Can his love be the only thing she needs to get by?Then there’s the big question, what happens when Lexi finds out that he past is not only haunting her in her dreams, but hunting her in real life? Can Lucca protect her from her dreams and the man that caused the nightmares of her past?This book was a very sweet side of love, of course, then you throw in a heap of drama and crazy and you have a well balanced book. It is a great story with just the right amount of insanity to keep it going at a great pace. It is a longer book, but worth every moment. S.J. Molloy’s attention to details is remarkable and makes the simple things truly stunning. This book was touching and full of love. It was full of hurt and angst and crazy too, but the love between Lucca and Lexi is beautiful. Their love for each other is strong and seeming untouchable.S.J. Molloy has a done a great job on the second book in the Luminara series and I cannot wait for more of her work! I love the language, the feel and the love that is written on each page of this book and the feelings and emotions are just so real it is moving. I am looking forward to reading the next enstallment of this series! Job well done and five fabulous stars!
