Synopsis
Elle was never broken.
She wasn't shattered.
And she sure as hell never needed to be saved.
That is,
until she found out what the aftermath of love was capable of causing.
Doing her best to stay afloat amidst the sh!t storm that has become her life, Elle is hanging on by a thread. Between worrying about Fernie’s precarious future, an incident with a Shemar Moore look-alike gone terribly wrong, and an inability to let go of her feelings for J, Elle just can’t seem to get her head straight.
Deciding a change of atmosphere is what she needs, Elle heads to Mexico to study abroad for a semester.
She has no idea that she is walking into an even worse storm.
One that involves a pissed off MC President, a ruthless drug cartel, and a man willing to die to have her light.
***This is the 2nd book in the series L&J – cannot be read as a stand-alone***

Review
Oh wow!! This series is like an emotional rollercoaster. It is so intense! I usually stay away from emotional books because I don't like crying but this one had me hooked right from the beginning until the end. I loved all the characters and the story surrounding them.
Book one ended on a cliffhanger and anticipation for the next book was too much. Fortunately, I got an advanced review copy and I cannot be more thankful ;) In this book Elle struggles to get her life back in order. It deals with Elle's journey, her battle with herself, her recovery and how she connects with other characters. Book 1.5 is from J's POV and its better if you read that before reading book 2. I love Elle and J's couple and I hope that they get the happily-ever-after which they deserve....
It was definitely a 5-star read. I loved how Elle's character developed in this book and also the effects, everything that happened, had on J. This was the most emotional part of the book. which will make any faint of heart cry. I don't want to give spoilers because trust me this is a series you will want to read yourself. I recommend it to all contemporary romance lovers.

Author Bio
Emily is a Midwestern Gal, but could be anywhere as you read this. She gypsy's the country, as well as south of the border. Adventure feeds her soul, and offers great writing material.
She loves kids and working with kids, but can only handle caring for four-legged furry friends. A crazy dog and laid back cat have trained her to be their partner in life.
Vices include Swedish Fish, ignoring chores in favor of reading, and caring too much for people in her life. She chose to write this bio in third person as she is an Aries, and found writing in first person ended up with her writing an excessively long life story.
Aries like to talk about themselves. It is something Emily is working on being more mindful of.
