I gave this book 5 explosive stars.This is book three in the Living Again Series, but can be read as a standalone.This is Ellis and Samantha's story.Damn. This story had me from the opening paragraph. Where Ellis is delivered his fate at the tender age of 17. He has made mistakes, and now he was going to pay for them. But Ellis changes his life and is determined to be better and to teach others how not to make the same mistakes that he did. He become a police officer. He changed his life, but he still lives with the consequences of what he did. He can't change his past, but he can control his future. He is very selective about who he lets into his life and how much they know about him. He has friends, but he keeps them at a distance. He keeps everyone at a distance.Samantha "Sam" "Sammi" -- Is a Country Music Star, she won a tv show and her career sky rocketed from there. She has everything from the outside looking in, but Sam is lonely. Even with everyone all around her you can see she is looking for something. She has her parents, her best friend, her body guards, the rest of her band, and her fans. I don't think any of them get who Sam really is. I think they are all focused on her career and what she is doing and what she can do and they have missed Sam. When she gains a stalker, a very close stalker that has left her flowers, and notes in places that only someone that has access to her could get. That is when they hire an outside body guard to come in and protect her, Ellis is that man. It is only suppose to be for a week. But as soon as Ellis and Sam meet they don't need a week to feel the connection that they have towards each other instantly. But Ellis doesn't believe he is good enough for anyone let alone someone that he feels such a strong attraction to. How long can he fight this growing feeling that he has for Sammi. How far can Sammi push him before he just says yes, or worse says no and walks away? And is Sammi safe? When she finds out who her stalker is will she ever feel safe again? And what did Ellis do in his past that makes him feel so unworthy of love now? Follow this journey between two beautiful souls that are destined to be together. Watch as they struggle with life and each other and become an even stronger unit of love. And find out in the end if loving each other is enough.I loved Ellis and Sam, they're two very strong, passionate characters. I love LL's work and I have read her other two books also. They have all made me laugh and cry. This book was no exception. I laughed and I did cry. My heart ached for them. There was a part in the book where I could literally feel my heart beating so hard in my chest. I actually had to stop reading, take a deep breath and calm down before I could move on to the rest of the story.I also love how she makes each book a stand alone, but if you've read the other books you do get a glimpse of each couple from the other two books and you get to see how they are coming along with their lives and the progression of it. I do believe that LL has out done herself. She is a phenomenal writer that is a cut above the rest. She captivates me with every story that she tells. You just know when you read a book and know that the Author was meant to do what she does. LL was meant to be a writer. She was meant to tell stories. I am so glad that I found her books and have become a fan. Each book has left an imprint on my heart, that will last a lifetime. Thank you LL for your amazing stories, I cannot wait to read the next book that you come out with!<3 I know it will be just as memorizing as all the others
