I love JL Mac’s style, I love this book, I love Damon and Josephine…my only unlove was that the book was too short..I either read it really fast or it just seemed shorter :-(. The ring inscription was genius….”My heart resides with you” the inscription on the watch..sighs! Isla grew up having her entire life planned out for her but she wanted to break free from her father's hold and make her own decisions and her own choices. Caleb lived trapped in a home with his alcoholic father, haunted by nightmares of memories from his past. But instead of being completely wrong for each other, Isla and Caleb turned out to be the best things to ever come into each other's lives. They were two broken souls who had been through so much, both individually and together, just trying to rebuild the pieces from their shattered lives as they explored their perfectly imperfect relationship. Olivia and Camden, two souls who seemed so different but connected on a deeper level. Camden who was living through the motions, an artist who seemed out of this world, a man who learned to survive, to cope with his pain, putting people at distance. Not only an extraordinary exploration of how an artwork is created but a devastating portrayal of what it means to means to struggle, to be human, to find hope. A darting, incredibly ambitious book which brings together the head and the heart. I am still ringing with the experience of reading it First things first. Shame on you J.L. Mac. That was not very nice. I felt like the floor fell out from underneath me all over again. I thought, could she? would she? Surely she can't do that to us...I mean who does that?

I had once compared this series to another one of my favorite series, and to be honest I think this one will come out on top. I cheered and I cried, yelled and I even giggled at Grams antics. It was such an emotional roller coaster....a ride that I didn't want to get off of. Thank you, thank you Ms. Mac for writing such a phenomenal story. Lucas was a little better, mostly I liked that he had this bubble he entered when he was studying where he loses any sense of self-preservation or awareness of his environment. . Little does Josephine know that the past should be the least of her worries. She is toying with a man who has already broken her heart once. She just doesn’t realize it. Seriously gals, in the world of sequels and the "next book" we have been living in. The world where we awaited anxiously for the up coming new released sequel, only to begin them and realize it was an utter waste of energy because the book we had been waiting for was waa waa waa, FAIL! *I loved Olivia, she is selfless and resilient wanting to help Camden to get a better life, even if doing that could break her own heart. Camden is a survivor and he only knows how to live in the present, going on one day at time trying to create his next perfect piece of art. Love takes trust I don’t have, not just because it won’t betray you, but in yourself. You need to believe there’s something worth loving to accept the possibility that another could find it.’ When I began with Restore Me I almost stopped reading. Right from the start I thought… "No! This can't be happening". I honestly thought this was going to be the worst book I've EVER read because I didn't know where we stood with Damon. I doubted any author in their right mind would commit novel suicide by placing possibly the worst outcome in their book and seriously… J.L. Mac had be sitting on the edge of my seat for a while there - ready to throw in the towel because I just couldn't accept the outcome that was hinted towards at the beginning. But relief… it was so so sweet! Thank You J.L for not killing me :D

Camden sees more in Olivia than plain and ordinary. Olivia loves Camden's spirit and would not change a thing about him. Will these two find a world that they may share and still maintain their individual spirit. D – “Everything, I’d be lost without you Josephine, you save me a thousand times a day in a thousand different ways and you don’t even know it” and sighhhhhhh!!! There were interesting story lines, twists, secrets, questions, and little subplots going on in this book. And it leads right into the 3rd installment Accept Me. I was totally not ready for this one to end. And now I wait for more...I always seem to be bugging Jaimi to give me more! The minute you read the Prologue, you are grabbed by the intense emotions and cannot look away for a moment. Josephine Geroux lost her parents at nine years old during a horrific car accident. She has grown up an orphan, living in "homeless kid prison" as she calls it and being shuffled in and out of foster care. At sixteen she had had enough and refusing to be a victim she left out on her own.

Wade fights his attraction with all that he has. But when Lucas starts talking about going out on a first date with someone from college, the jealousy he feels eats him alive. He can’t let it happen. Lucas is his, and he’s ready to claim what belongs to him. You got that right, honey. Instead of The Young and The Restless, we got The Old and The Worthless!” It’s not always the most wonderful relationship, but it’s mine and I wouldn’t give him up for the world.” Oh the side characters are just hilarious. I simply adore GRAMs and we are introduced to Andy. I feel like we will be seeing more of him in book 3. There were a few steamy scenes, but mostly I would say this was a Damon-finding-himself book. The last chapter kind of leads you into the next book and I just can’t wait for Accept Me
