~ How is it that I trust him more than I've ever trusted anyone in my life, yet barely even know him?~Freed. Five little letters that personify so much of every aspect of this book. Being FREED from the chains that once bound you to a life you thought you deserved no better than. FREED from unhealthy relationships, both with friends and family, because you thought you earned the abuse. FREED from the misconstrued thoughts of what you misguidingly believed something to be about. But mostly, FREED from the restraints you had placed on your heart so many years ago. FREED to finally live the life you so rightly never knew you wanted. Like I said; five little letters that speak volumes and one talented author to bring us full circle.~"Effin missed  you. So much. How do you sleep? How do you function?""Who says I do?"~We begin our journey almost to the minute where Used left us; Ransom has made an offer to Denver and she is contemplating her response. I'm sure you can already deduce what she decided, as there wouldn't be much of a book without it. But what you cannot even fathom is the journey that these two will travel throughout the pages of Freed. It wasn't a journey of drama, and sex filled escapades, fighting and breaking up at every turn. No, it was something far more delicious and mature; it was two souls coming into realizations about themselves and each other in ways neither could have ever dreamed. What I love about Lynetta is that she doesn't do unnecessary drama with no purpose other than being completely unoriginal. No, if she inserts strife into her books you know without a doubt she has a reason, and it's true to the story line, and will be like nothing you've read before. She doesn't do it to fit a mold, swiftly moving the pace along like so many others have fallen victim to. She charts her own path and goes where her characters take her. In her world, these characters are living and breathing, and through the creativeness of her mind, she so willingly shares them with us. They take root in your heart to a point that you won't soon forget them. You simply can't. But that, folks, is the testament of a crafted story teller.~ "I want you, Denver. All the time. Every hour. Every minute, I want your laughter, your tears, your joy, heck, even your pain. I've never wanted anything more in my life."~If you have read my reviews before you know you won't be receiving a play by play, or as I have termed them, a book report review. What you will received from me, however, is a no holds barred, honest opinion of the story and its author. Because that is the gist of what really matters. Not how it ends. Not what happens in between. Not the highlights of every big event or reveal. It's about the journey as a whole; a cohesive unit of words that flew so effortlessly onto the page and into my heart.~"I know it. I feel it. I want it. Loving you is so dang easy that it terrifies me. Not loving you, but the fear of losing it because I'm not good enough."~Long story short, I absolutely adored this book! I felt like from beginning to end, there was a clear path. Where it would take us I didn't know, but I for sure, like Denver on the bull, was holding on for dear life! I won't tell you who she ends up with, because in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter. What matters is that she ends up with herself, whole, and ready to take on the world. She faces her demons and really embraces her true self. By doing this, she is able to accept the love of a truly good man wholeheartedly. Their love is a thing of wonder and was a true joy to watch. Still, two weeks later, I have a HUGE smile on my face just thinking about this book. These characters have taken residence in my heart and I think I'll let them live there forever.~"I go where you go. You are my home."~
