I actually had to take time off from reading and writing before I could write this review. Suffering from a serious book hangover, the amount of tears this book will make you cry are probably uncountable. You will need to absorb this book after you read it. To be honest, for the first 50%, the emotion won't be as deep but as you get to the middle and further on, you will not be able to put it down. I read this book in 3.5 hours, not stopping once. I couldn't have even if I wanted to.A perfect combination of snarky (okay bitchy), sexy, dramatic and funny, "Because of Ellison" is a reminder of what standalone books were made to be. This is my secondish foray into MS Willis' work and this is probably by far my favorite.I'm not going to re-describe the synopsis of this book, but rather I'll give you a little information regarding the characters. Ellison James is a grade A b$^$^. She's sarcastic, vindictive and has no problem with standing up for herself and calling people on their bulls**t. But won't you don't find out is how huge her heart is. She is fiercely loyal and made me proud to be a true southern Floridian (hehe). Hunter is a 19 year old super genius. Having life come a little too easily for him, he searches for those things that help him give up control ~ sex, drugs and alcohol. Emotionally he is a child, never really feeling the love of a family.These two characters together make for a beautiful and emotionally gripping story. Just one small spoiler..what makes this story so beautiful is the prologue and epilogue that shows the beauty of a 50 year romance. So, if you live for happily ever afters, romance stories filled with first and true loves and love the journey of getting there, than "Because of Ellison" is the perfect book for you.
