<\/p>\n
Once upon a time, I fell in love with a boy. People warned me against our love, but I didn’t listen. In order to keep our hearts protected from the opinions of others, we became each other\u2019s secret. It was our twisted love story, and it worked for us up until our lives changed forever.<\/span><\/p>\n The boy I loved became Hollywood\u2019s newest golden boy. We moved into different realms where our pieces no longer fit together.<\/span><\/p>\n In the fairy tales, love conquered all. I always knew Landon belonged in my story. Find\u00a0Landon & Shay: Part Two\u00a0<\/em>on GOODREADS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5 \u201cI love you times two\u201d stars!!<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI know I probably have no right to say this, and I\u2019ll probably kick myself for putting myself out there like this, but I have to do it. If there is ever a moment where you begin to believe in second chances,\u201d he said, his voice low and controlled. \u201cPlease give one to me.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Wow! What a read! The Landon & Shay Duet<\/i> <\/a>is complete and it is everything. Talk about an emotional second-chance romance. It rips your heart to shreds but then pieces it back together in the most complete way. Encompasses all of the feels, even days later refuses to let me go. I loved Landon and Shay’s heartbreaking yet beautifully fulfilling love story, and it is one I will relive in the years to come.<\/p>\n Part Two<\/i> is a hard read. It picks up after Part One<\/i> <\/a>and it is filled with anguish. I cried for Landon and his troubles. It\u2019s crushing to see the weight he carries on his shoulders and the darkness that consumes him. His insecurities are real and his challenges are overwhelming, and I didn\u2019t think my heart could take all of the pain he endures.<\/p>\n Shay loves Landon and so the things that he experiences, she experiences too in her own way. She is flawed but relatable, and I felt her struggles. She is so strong and is there for him through it all even when he pulls her into the darkness. What she faces is agony but she knows she needs to be strong for herself and I loved her courage.<\/p>\n Shay and Landon are soulmates but their timing is wrong. They have their hearts broken over and over again and I almost couldn\u2019t handle it. I mean, how much heartache can one couple go through before they can’t come back from it?<\/p>\n I\u2019d spent the past years trying to delete every part of him from my entire being. But it turned out first loves were unable to fully erase from a person\u2019s psyche. A part of Landon would always live in my heart. From his kiss alone, he unlocked that corner of my heartbeats, and then proceeded to break it all over again. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Shay and Landon need to grow individually before they can make it together and they do. Both change as the years go by and learn that they must love themselves before they can love another. Along with the pain and suffering there is hope that they would find their way back to each other. The reunion is heart wrenching and they have a long road ahead of them but I could feel the love that was still there.<\/p>\n I hated what they go through in the beginning both personally and as a couple, and though it crushed me, I understand why they do what they do. The second chance is that much sweeter. Their journey back to each other is intense and difficult but ultimately they share a love that is unbreakable, and I felt everything.<\/p>\n Our love wasn\u2019t traditional, but it was ours.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n As heavy as this book is on heartache, there are lighter moments that will make you laugh and so much love that it overpowers the darkness. I loved the relationships between Landon and Shay and the secondary characters. The close knit group of friends who grew up with Landon and Shay were wonderful. Just like in Eleanor & Grey<\/i><\/a>, they are all there for one another no matter what. I have to mention \u00a0that Karla is a stand out character and she really pulled at my heartstrings. I remember her in Eleanor & Grey<\/i> but to see more of her and her relationship with Landon and Shay was really special. No feelings were downplayed and their unconditional support and love is everything to this bright beautiful girl. I would love to see Karla grow up and find love in her own book.<\/p>\n Overall, Landon & Shay: Part Two<\/i> was more that I could have imagined. It gave me the happily-ever-after that Landon and Shay deserved while taking us on a rollercoaster of emotional. No matter the pain, the heartbreak is worth it to experience a true love like theirs. It\u2019s an outstanding second-chance romance and the perfect ending to the L&S Duet<\/i>. This duet easily joins my list of favorites for 2019!<\/p>\n *ARC generously provided by the author and Social Butterfly PR*<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shay<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n \u201cOh my gosh, tell us everything.\u201d Raine beamed as she sat across from Landon at the dining room table with her chin on her hands in amazement. \u201cTell me everything about being famous.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n That privacy I thought Landon and I would get?<\/span><\/p>\n Not going to happen with Raine living in the same place as me. She was so giddy seeing her best friend, and I couldn\u2019t blame her. I was just as excited\u2014even more so than her.<\/span><\/p>\n Landon looked so good, so grown-up.<\/span><\/p>\n He had facial hair that was groomed to perfection, and he smelled like sex appeal and honey. Since he\u2019d arrived, I hadn\u2019t allowed myself to be far from his side.<\/span><\/p>\n I sat in the chair next to him, and he hadn\u2019t removed his hand from my thigh, massaging it up and down.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not famous.\u201d Landon chuckled, giving Raine a smile. \u201cI honestly don\u2019t know what\u2019s been happening to me, or why it\u2019s been happening to me, but I feel like I\u2019ll one day wake up and it will all be a dream.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou know what I hate?\u201d Raine asked, crinkling her nose up.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s that?\u201d Landon replied.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhen really famous people claim they aren\u2019t famous. That\u2019s like when rich kids are like \u2018Oh, I\u2019m not rich, my parents are.\u2019 Like, shut up, Susan. You can\u2019t say you\u2019re not rich while driving your Mercedes Benz wearing your Gucci shoes. That\u2019s not how that works.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n I chuckled at my dramatic friend. \u201cShe is right, though. You are famous, Landon. The world has seen your tushy in boxer briefs. That\u2019s the top layer of fame.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAnd what a cute little tushy-wushy it is,\u201d Raine mocked, leaning over to pinch his cheeks. \u201cI\u2019m a proud big sister.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFor the millionth time, I\u2019m older than you, Raine,\u201d Landon remarked.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBy age, not by maturity.\u201d She darted her eyes back and forth between the two of us. Then her stare moved to Landon\u2019s hand caressing my upper thigh. \u201cIs this about to get a little PG-13? Should I leave?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou should probably leave,\u201d I joked.<\/span><\/p>\n She nodded in agreement. \u201cOkay, well, don\u2019t make plans tomorrow night, Landon. We\u2019re going to have everyone over for a reunion. Now, go do whatever it is you\u2019re planning to do, you two lovebirds\u2014but remember, these walls are thin, and my bedroom is right next door to Shay\u2019s.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n I laughed. \u201cI know, and I\u2019m reminded of how thin the walls are every time Hank stays the night.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n She gave me a smile and a wink. \u201cWe broke the headboard the other night.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Landon jumped in. \u201cAnd I think that falls into the realm of too much information. I don\u2019t want to think about Hank and you banging and breaking headboards. You are like a big sister to me, after all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Raine walked around and patted him on the back. \u201cYou\u2019re old enough to know that your sister gets laid, Landon\u2014at least four times a week in many different positions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cRaine,\u201d Landon groaned, slapping his hand to his face. \u201cToo much information.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI bet you won\u2019t think it\u2019s too much information when Shay breaks out some of the moves from the Kama Sutra book I gave her. Good night, kiddos.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n She hurried off, and Landon was staring at me with a highly arched eyebrow.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhat?\u201d I asked.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s this about a Kama Sutra book?\u201d His lips curved up into a wicked grin.<\/span><\/p>\n I rolled my eyes. \u201cIt\u2019s nothing. Raine is just a sex-driven girl. She said she and Hank needed to spice things up after being together so long.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI like spice. Spice is my favorite thing. What are some of the names of the moves in the book? What are we trying tonight?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n I felt my face heating up from the idea of it all. \u201cNone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He cocked an eyebrow. \u201cOh crap. You\u2019ve really read this book, haven\u2019t you?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhat? No. Not at all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He smirked and pointed a finger. \u201cYou have one on the tip of your tongue. I can tell. Do share.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWell\u2026\u201d I pulled the collar of my shirt between my lips and shrugged. \u201cThere is this thing called the butterfly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The way his eyes smiled along with his lips made my cheeks heat even more. He rose to his feet. \u201cCome on, let\u2019s go. I\u2019m going to butterfly the hell out of you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Landon & Shay: Part\u00a0One Landon & Shay: Part\u00a0Two <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Author Brittainy C.

\n<\/span>A beautiful, broken boy who had his own world of struggles.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>We looked weak.
\n<\/span>Young, foolish.
\n<\/span>Dangerously in love.
\n<\/span>We didn’t care.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>We shared stolen moments. Tender touches. Secretive embraces.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>His career blossomed as mine stalled.
\n<\/span>He found massive success as I discovered multiple failures.
\n<\/span>He made something of himself, while my dreams never came true.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>In reality, love was the main reason empires began to fall.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>He was my beginning, middle, and end.
\n<\/span>The only problem? I wasn\u2019t certain I still belonged in his.<\/span><\/p>\n
