*5+ Unforgettable, Mouth Watering Stars*

AND ....... EXHALE. It has been 82 days since reading the gut-wrenching first book of this duet "Full Tilt". My heart pure ached for Jonah and Kacey, but I also knew Theo was waiting in the wings to put all the broken pieces back together. I just could not fathom how Emma Scott was going satisfy her readers, who like me, were lying prostate in the fetal position and basically looking like Humpty Dumpty. Not only did All The King's Horses and All The King's Men arrive to put me back together again, but Emma and her brilliance in writing this most extraordinarily epic sequel, relieved, revived and renewed my soul. It is breathtaking! It is beautiful! It is bewitching! And Theo, gracious sakes, Theo! He will make you drool like a fool ;)

While tears were trickling down my cheeks by the third page of the prologue, I just kept telling myself Theo will somehow find a way to become the glue his family and most importantly, Kacey, was going to need to get through the horrific days, weeks and months ahead, as Jonah, everyone's everything, loses his battle with life. Jonah asks one favor of his only brother, as he is lying on his deathbed, "Take care of Kacey and love her, Theo." But Kacey runs and hides, so devastated by his death, she drinks herself into oblivion everyday, everynight, 24/7.

When Theo finally finds Kacey 1500 miles from home, and is unquestionably committed to being there to help her heal, no matter how long it takes, I felt the yoke of deep sadness, which had filled my heart, begin to lift and dissipate. Yes, my heart sang because Theo was ALL IN. A magical rebirth was weaving Theo and Kacey lives together. Against all odds, they forged a beautiful, inseparable bond. It was a glorious union of two emotionally wrecked and lost souls healing each other.

What I am trying to say is ........ this is one gorgeously written and captivating love story. And FYI ..... Un! Put! Down! Able!

"Acceptance child, that is the key. Accept that which has ended and let go so you can move on. So you may grow. So you may thrive. The light in your eyes - in your heart - has dimmed, but it is not put out. Let it roar once again."

IT GREW! IT THRIVED! IT ROARED! Oh how both their hearts and mine roared once again!!!

Thank you Emma Scott for a magnificent and stunning duet I will never forget!
