Wow. Just wow. This is a “stop reading the reviews and just buy it already!” book. However, if affirmation as to the genius of Ms. Madden-Mills’ writing is required then here it is! ;)Oftentimes, the first book in a series is the only one worth reading. Not so with VWT. I absolutely loved Nora and Leo in VBT and, to be honest, I didn’t think a story with Cuba would be interesting because he seemed so shallow in VBT. I am happy to say I couldn’t be more wrong.Cuba aka Hollywood isn’t just a rich, popular guy with a pretty face and a bright future in football. He wants to be more, to do more.  And he doesn’t know how because of the things that happened in his past. This beautiful boy is so heartbreakingly lost. Most of the time I felt like giving him a big hug and then sometimes I felt like slapping him silly. I absolutely loved that he behaved like a blushing virgin the first time he spoke to Dovey. Adorable doesn’t cover it. Dovey was the perfect female lead for this book. She is damaged but still a glass half-full person. She marches to the beat of her own drum and totally doesn’t buy into what she perceives to be Cuba’s act. She really makes him work for it. Not because she’s playing hard to get, she genuinely believes that Cuba’s playing her. Still when she cracks and falls for him…there are just no words that Ms. Madden-Mills hasn’t already written. ;)This book had everything in it. I wouldn’t change a single thing. It covers almost every emotion under the Sun. You want angst? It’s there in spades. You want laughs? That’s there too. You want steam? Yep, more than there. ;) Most importantly, there is much love in this book too. These two couldn’t be more different and yet they fit. Not in an “opposites attract” kind of way (although that's definitely present) but more deep and meaningful. I guess they filled the void that the other had. Separately, Cuba and Dovey were damaged. However, together they were just perfect. I’m trying to avoid blurting out spoilers here but I will say that this book is not for the faint of heart. However, if you decide to buy VWT I can promise you that you won’t regret it. So….what are you still doing reading reviews?? Buy VWT already!! ;)Finally, who is next, Ms. Madden-Mills? Sebastian or Spider?
