If you have not read Pretty Little Lies then stop right here and go and read that one first. This is not a standalone and you will be missing some crucial parts to the story if don't start from the beginning.Oh holy heck I'm just speechless. Yep, Jennifer Miller  got me good on this. What an unbelievable ending to a great love story.  I'm completely blown away by her words.The emotions this book brought out in me. Gah!. I was completely all over the place on this one.  There are moments that are so intense I was seriously sitting here biting my nails completely glued to every word on the pages. I couldn't put this book down if my life depended on it. I needed to know what was going to happen next.  I was a wreck, just a complete mess.  This book packs a huge punch.Jennifer Miller really shows us her growth in not only her writing but also in her characters.  This book definitely had a different feel to it then the first one, It's darker then the first book but we knew it was going to have a darker element to it. I mean she gets kidnapped by her psycho ex husband. Nothing good can come of that right.  It's a duo PoV and I think she did an absolutely amazing job portraying both Olivia's and Luke's perspectives.  I can't even tell how much I loved this story. OMG right from the first page you see how sick and twisted Deacon really is. My heart broke so many times for Olivia in this story.  Olivia is a tough little cookie, she's goes through a lot in this book and boy do you ever feel her pain and fears.  Jennifer really did a brilliant job making me feel every heart ache and every happy moment these characters went through.  Even though this was a darker book we still got some of the same elements that we got from the first book. Funny moments that literally had me in tears from laughing so hard. I really can't believe how quickly I'd be laughing one moment and then completely in tears the next . I am just in awe..Luke is amazing in this book. I mean he was great in the first book but I really loved that we got to be in his head with this one. If you thought you loved him before you will completely fall in love with him harder.  He's patient, he's protective he's sexier, and so freaking romantic.  If you had any doubts about him before you know that this man was born to love Olivia and his love knows no bounds when it comes to her. He lives to keep her safe and to keep her happy."I want so much more. I need so much more. I want to crawl inside of her, take care of her, and protect her. I need it so badly,""God, she's so beautiful. I need her so much. Every part of me wants to reach over and touch her."You know those moments in a book where you are sighing out loud because it just deeply touches you. Yep Luke had me doing that so many times.  Seriously that man was just absolutely perfect.  If I ever feel lost I definitely want him by my side reminding me who I am."I know exactly who you are. You're my girl.""You make me laugh, like no one else can.""You also turn me on like no one else can."OMG, lets talk about the epilogue.. Can I just say that was one of the best epi's I have read in a long time.. I was completely jealous and swooning. I can't tell you how beautiful and how romantic that was. I was left breathless, tears rolling down my eyes because I was bursting at the seems with love for these characters.  The writing was just so beautiful.  Jennifer really outdid herself on this.  I would definitely recommend this book."He's my happy place. I day dream frequently about him holding me, whispering to me, kissing me."Yep, I think I will be too. Thank you Jennifer for taking me on one heck of an emotional roller coaster. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.**I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review**
