As I finally come down off this emotional cloud I will try to do this book justice in my review. I waited patiently for this sequel to finally get here. The ending of the first book left me so emotionally raw. I was screaming at Jill for leaving me that way. Jaxon had already been through so much and had shown great strength to wait for Courtney to become 18, even when she didn't want him to. Then Phillip and his evil mother do all they can to destroy both Courtney and Jaxon. The end of book one left them both in the pit of despair. This book picks up a month later with Jaxon feeling hopeless and back to his old ways, while Courtney's circumstances change to get her out of the clutches of Phillip and his mom. What Courtney finds in California when she goes to get back her Jaxon is heartbreaking, but she learns some things and does some maturing in the process.This book is not all hearts and flowers. It's more real life and things don't get worked out quickly, but it does show true love can last through time, patience, hard work and perseverance if it really is true love.You did an amazing job, Jill Patten. Thanks for bringing us two books to make one beautiful, heartwrenching story.
