Elizabeth Reyes has outdone herself again. Brandon was one of those side characters that I just couldn't forget. He tugged at my heart in Sweet Sofie and I held out hope that one day he would find his happily ever after. I just never expected it to be Regina. Finally seeing the world through Brandon's eyes gave Sofie's book a whole other edge. He is such a broken boy and becomes an empty shell of a man until fate steps in and sends him Regina. His transformation is beautiful. The depth of emotion he feels for her scares and overwhelms him, but for her he's willing to expose that vulnerable part of himself.Regina had my attention from her first introduction in Romero. I totally thought the girl was the one person that wasn't tied to the high expectations of her family. Boy did she have me fooled. She's so shattered by the losses in her life. Losing her beloved grandfather, her husband and her baby lead her to despair. A year has gone by and she believes she has it all under control again. She's willing to start living again; moving back to California, reconnecting with friends and maybe trying to have someone new in her life. The spitfire she becomes when Brandon pisses her off makes me smile. This girl has backbone. Once Brandon opens his heart to her, she falls hard. She admires his strength and how he tackles things head on. When life throws bumps in their path Regina once again begins to crumble, Brandon starts to withdraw into his shell. One climactic heartbreaking moment shows them both what is most important; their love for one another. The epilogue has to be one of my all time favorites. I read it with a huge smile, laughter and a couple of tears of joy.Highly recommended Author and SeriesAdult situations
