Oh.My.God!!! What a book!!!!!Raw, pure, dark, emotional, and hands down, PHENOMENAL!TRIPP is a MUST READ!This is the SECOND book in the My Way Series and I have to say HJ Bellus did an incredible job, ONCE AGAIN. I really liked CREE, but HOLY CRAP!!!!!!! I absolutely fell in love with TRIPP!!! Even though each installment is focused on a different set of characters, there IS a back story that connects the books. I DO recommend you read these in order.This book was refreshingly DIFFERENT. It is NOT a light read... at...all. In fact, it touches some very serious, heart-wrenching subjects that caused my heart to race, my palms to sweat, and quite frankly, caused me to have several  "HOLY CRAP, OH NO!" moments. Hell, I even stalked messaged HJ Bellus more times than I care to admit while freaking out! True story."Sometimes f.....d-up people need to be there for each other. It could be a beautiful train wreck between us, you know."Tripp and Lacey.... *sigh* Where to begin...They were both so so so broken yet, SO perfect for each other. They knew their demons and accepted each other 100%. I wont give anything away, but trust me when I say, they had horrible, gut-wrenching pasts.  Seeing them together was one hell of an emotional rollercoaster, but like I said, I honestly fell in love with them- individually AND as a couple. The way Tripp treated Lacey????? *swoon* I'm telling you, Tripp ruined me for future book boyfriends... *whispers* And I won't even mention the FIRE-BURNING-HOT steamy scenes..... *Fans self*"You are my Princess. I never get the girl and the happy ending. I'm making it happen this time.""Baby, we just need to brand a new kind of Princess then. Break the mold, you know? Because you are mine and we are going to live happily ever after. Got it, Outlaw Princess?"Seeing Lacey and Tripp go through all their struggles was truly heart-breaking. They had their ups and downs like any other couple, but DAMN!!! Their "downs" were pretty freaking low... they were honestly, really bad. A book had never caused me to have so many freak out moments!!! I usually come up with theories along the way, but THIS BOOK kept pulling the rug from under me!!!! It surprised me every.single.time!!!You have to understand, this isn't your typical romance book. It's a dark and emotional story about TWO really broken souls that learn the meaning of life together. HJ Bellus will break your heart and allow it to heal all in the SAME BOOK - true talent, right there.The characters in the My Way Series are so refreshingly unique, funny, and hands down, amazing. In this book we see a lot of the characters we came to love in CREE, which was GREAT. I seriously LOVE these characters. I would totally be friends with them, without a doubt!The My Way Series has become one of my TOP Favorite Series EVER. TRIPP left me with a HUGE book hangover.I promise you will love this book! It's so refreshingly different from what's been going around lately. There are not enough words that can even begin to express how much I truly loved TRIPP!! If I could give it all the stars in the world, I would.6 out of 5 stars! Yep. It's THAT amazing!"Lacey, it's all about the 'todays', so let's live 'em up together." - Tripp***An ARC of TRIPP was provided in exchange for an honest review.
