Trey’s life is
fun and carefree. He loves the girls, his drums, and his friends. That’s not to
say he isn’t continuously plagued by a difficult decision made years ago—one
that changed the course of his life.

Despite the
connection they make when their paths unexpectedly cross, Kailey knows her life
has no room for anyone else right now. But regardless of how many times she
pushes him away, Trey only fights harder to make a place for him in her life
and in her heart.

Is there such a
thing as fate? If so, can Kailey and Trey hold on to one another long enough to
discover there’s no such thing as a chance encounter?

EXCERPT:
I curl my knees up to my chest, shivering, my face glued to
the couch. I peel my mouth away from the leather, wiping the drool as I sit up.
Shit, it’s cold in this state. Staring at the practically empty bottle of Jack
sitting on the coffee table, regret hits me. I’ll be useless for the rest of
today. That is, until I can drown myself into another bottle tonight.

After I stand up, I attempt to steady myself by holding my
arms out, like a toddler on a balance beam, willing the room stop swirling.
“He’s down here,” Dex screams up the stairs.

My Review:
Michelle Lynn has taken me on a ride that I was not expecting.... really didn't expect a couple of the bombs that were just dropped on me... I lost the battle and I am defeated. My heart was broken, but in the end she was able to put it together again!
This was definitely an emotional read for me! I was so heartbroken at all that Kailey had going on and all she had lost, but then all that she was gaining. She tried to keep Trey at a distance but he always seemed to find a way to make a dent into her wall that she built to get into her heart!
I loved Trey! His character is phenomenal and said some of the most romantic things!!
"I'm sorry I never noticed you before, Kailey, but I see you now. You're all i see...all I want. You have to believe me. No girl comes close to what you do to me."
Trey is definitely swoonworthy throughout the book! He does have his secrets though and at one point I thought the secret would possibly be the destruction of everything he had worked so hard for. It definitely was a shocker for me and I am not sure who I would have handled a situation that was as crazy as that one was.
Thank you Michelle for brining out my tears.... for showing me love and for giving me a great book to enjoy and read again! It's one I will definitely be picking up more than once!
Thank you for participating in the blog tour! Great review and I'm happy you enjoyed LET ME LOVE!!! :)
