Synopsis
I was reunited with Livingston Montgomery in the broad sunshine of a Carolina morning,
Right where she belonged; in the light.
It’d been too long since I’d seen her face.
She had changed, but so had I.
I was Adam Nova, reformed bad boy. Now, successful business man.
I had it all, except for the one person I’d always wanted, and now I was back to claim her.
She was living in the shadows, just a shell of the former girl I knew.
But it didn’t matter that she tried to hide from me in the dark.
I’d follow her into the deepest depths of hell.
I just wanted to be In Her Space.
Review
4.5 second chance stars!
Oh, how I love a second-chance-romance! The drama, the angst, the longing and intensity, and the romantic bliss that is two people who are so meant to be, coming back together. And that is exactly what this book is. After being so brutally ripped apart at the end of Beneath His Stars, Adam and Liv are reunited once again, and it’s everything I was hoping it would be, finishing off the duet beautifully.
It’s been ten years (*sniff*) since that fateful night. Liv is now 26 and is back in Madison, but this time she’s on the mainland, avoiding the rich, isolated island that was the setting for so many of her nightmares. She’s a Social Worker, working at the planetarium that means so much to her, and though she seems to have moved on with her life, she’s a duller version of the girl she once was, and she has never forgotten her first and only love, Adam.
Adam has been through hell in his time away from Madison, but he has risen above it and triumphed, now an insanely wealthy and successful businessman with two things on his mind – vengeance and to protect the girl he’s always loved while wreaking it. He is a man with a plan, and returning to Madison, buying the planetarium and establishing himself amongst its elite is only the start of it.
Looking around the beachfront. I was richer, bigger, wilder than any motherfucker on this island now. I dared them to come after me. I craved it. I was ready for the fight.
Liv and Adam know it’s only a matter of time before they run into each other – he is her new boss after all – and their reunion comes with all of the intensity that I was hoping for, and my heart was pounding and I was bouncing up and down in my seat as I watched it all play out.
Adam Nova had been gorgeous at nineteen. At twenty-nine he was the stuff dreams were made of. And I didn’t dream anymore.
I pulled my gaze away, shaken to my core. If I thought it was going to be hard to see him, I’d been dead wrong. This was way past hard. It was impossible. I should have packed my bags and gotten the hell out of town because there was no way this was going to work. Not at all. He was going to mutilate my heart. It was almost broken with just a simple stare.My Luna was a fucking woman. A beautiful one. And I’d missed it. It almost broke my heart all over again.
There is so much pain and misunderstanding between them, neither of them really know what’s going on with the other, or where they stand, and the mix of anger, confusion, hurt, love and lust is absolutely delicious!
“You don’t get to come back here and boss me around and question me about things without so much as a fucking hello. Who do you think you are?”
I wanted to tell her I was the boy who loved her. The man who cared about her. That despite what my brain was telling me, my heart was all in. That I was the first and I should have been the last.
And when all of that pent up lust and emotion finally boils over… holy hell!
“This is a bad idea,” I panted, clutching the edge of his desk in my hands as his fingers brushed the apex of my thighs. “You’re my boss. You’re my ex-boyfriend. I’m not even sure you like me.”
“On the contrary, this is the best idea I’ve had in years.” His head dipped, and the sting of teeth right at the top of my thigh was dangerously close to where I ached. “And I’m gonna show you how much I like you.”
And the feels! OMG, the emotion is intense and I could feel everything they were feeling and I loved every moment of it as they slowly and painfully peeled back the layers of the past and figured it all out.
“I thought of you every day. I dreamed of you every night.” Those were the truest, saddest words I’d ever spoken. I didn’t realize quite how broken we were until that very moment. I wondered if I’d ever be able to piece us together again.
But the rollercoaster of their reconnection is only part of the story. Adam has plans to right the wrongs of his past, and to make those who hurt him pay. His revenge is tied into the love story really well as he struggles with his need to protect Liv, verses her need for him to share all of himself with her, and as the story twists and turns, there are shocks, surprises and secrets revealed, and I couldn’t put this book down!
I should have known I’d never be able to come home and not have her. Not want her. She was in my blood. In my soul. Livingston had been my one for as long as I could remember. And now as a grown woman she was impossibly more beautiful, more honest, more everything. More her. I didn’t know how I’d survived the years without her.
I loved it! After the beautifully sweet and innocent YA love story in the first book, I loved the more adult feel of this one. Not just with the sex and romance, but the cynicism of the characters after all they’ve been through, the depth of the emotion, and the highly entertaining sarcastic narrative. And while I liked Liv and Adam in the last book, I really fell for them in this one. It’s usually all about the hero, and yeah, Adam is something special, but Liv was a fantastic surprise! She’s real and relatable and though this is a more serious book, she cracked me up so many times, and she and Raven together are so freaking funny! I absolutely loved her, and there is some really beautiful character growth as Adam comes to realise just how damaged she is from all that she’s been through, and he makes it his mission to bring her back to life. His passion, courage and determination to fight for his girl and be there for her in every way he can, is a total swoonfest, and you can’t help but love a man who loves so deeply. And even with all of the drama, there is a wonderful sense of playfulness to them. I loved them together so much!
“Want a tour?”
“Yes.” My eyes roved his body.
He smirked at me. “Of the house, I mean.”
I mock poked out my bottom lip like a petulant child. “Darn.”
He grabbed my hand. “Come on. Let me show you around.”
I ran my other hand down the front of his shirt. “I’d rather you show me around these abs that weren’t there ten years ago.”
This is a fantastic conclusion to Liv and Adam’s story. It’s a short read that packs an emotional punch, and completes their love story beautifully.
I loved it. 4.5 stars.
