4.5 stars

I knew this book was going to be special and steal my heart when I had tears reading the first couple of pages.. Yes, this book had me at the prologue!

I’ve been in a bit of a book funk and when I heard this was coming out I couldn’t wait to get started and it definitely didn't disappoint.

I’ve anxiously been waiting for Cage’s book. I wanted to see who would break through this bad boys shell and what type of girl Cage would give his heart to.

Eva was perfect. She was everything I would w ...more

The cover drew me to this book. After reading the book’s description, I was hooked. This is also my first book by this author. I didn’t regret it. Cage and Eva’s story begins with a heart-wrenching Prologue and ends with a heart-warming Epilogue. In between, there’s a sweet and spicy story that melts your heart. I would classify this story in the Mature Young Adult category.

Cage York is a wild and reckless young man. He’s never had a real family so he’s had to fend for himself. After making an ...more

This book begins with a letter written to the heroine of this story by her now-deceased fiance. If you can read through it without tearing up, then you and the Tin Man are probably tight.

This is an excerpt from the prologue...NOT a spoiler:

“My Eva Blue. The fact I’m writing this letter pains me more than you could ever know. This isn’t something I ever want you to read but I know that you deserve a goodbye. You deserve so much more than that and God willing you will get the perfect life that we’ve spent hours together daydreaming about.

I’ve loved you since the moment I looked into those pretty blue eyes of yours. Even at five years old, I knew there’d never be a girl that could take your place in my heart. No one would ever compare to you. It would always be you for me, Eva Brooks. Always. Please remember that, you were all that ever mattered to me. No one else ever touched my heart the way you did. My life was marked with every year I grew more and more in love with the wild, crazy, beautiful girl next- door. I lived in awe that this perfect angel wanted me, that this amazing woman would be my wife. The life we planned. The life we dreamed about was what kept me going as long as I did.

I pray to God you never have to read this letter. I want this to be a letter I pull out of my box one day for you to read when we are old and gray. We can smile and realize how much we have to be thankful for that this letter was never needed. But Eva, if you do receive this letter from my mom one day, then know: I loved you until my last breath. You were the only thing on my mind when I closed my eyes the last time. Our time together was more perfect than anyone’s life should be. The life I lived was heaven on Earth because I spent it with you.

One day you will heal. Life will go on for you. Another guy will be lucky enough to find a place in your heart. When that happens, love him. Move on. Live that life of happiness that you deserve. Know that I loved you. Know that you made my life complete. But move on Eva. Love again. Live your life.” Love, Josh
