OMG this book was phenomenal . Rai and Levi are so hurt and broken in the beginning and it broke my heart! I love happy endings and to have it start off so bad was terrible for me. This was angsty and emotional that I just absolutely couldn’t stop reading it. I don’t think I breathed fully until the book was over. Definitely check this out.
Ghostin’ You, I knew this book was gonna hurt my heart and it did. We’re back with Raina and Levi and now added to the mix is Dean. This story is emotional, the heartbreak was strong and the regret lingering. If you read the first book, you’ll know why Raina walked away and broke both of their hearts. In this one it’s all about choices and trying to move forward. But the heart wants what it wants! Extremely entertaining with intriguing characters. I really need the next book to see where Ms Cole takes the characters and storyline.
Ummmm well wow! I certainly wasn’t expecting the way the story was heading but holy cow is it a juicy, sad, some parts sweet and loving and nuts overall drama to the extreme. Raina with her tough love could it of backfired or not?Dean oh wow I want one like him. So sweet and understanding his family background wasn’t so peaches and cream so i hope he gets a HEA or his own series. Levi some parts of me want to see him fight his demons and get a HEA and re create a great bond with drew and some parts of me say f him he had his chance. At one part i thought ooh a poly relationship between them all?!?!?? It really is such a tear jerker but in a good way meaning great story! I can’t wait for the 3rd book!!!! Awesome series.
Book two of the You and Me series destroyed me in the best way possible. This book had everything I look for, drama angst and emotion mixed with love and enough heat to start a fire. With the introduction of Dean Lyssa definately threw a spanner in the storyline. I found myself falling for him so easily and then felt like I was cheating on Levi. Rai goes through so much in this book you really feel for her because sometimes the hard decisions are the right ones for your own happiness. Juse when I think everything is going the way I wanted plot twist and epic cliffhanger. I need the next one ASAP.
Levi and Raina’s journey continues. It will be one heck of an emotional experience. Hold onto your heart because it may break. Hint, hint have a box of tissues nearby. I need book three ASAP!
We are on a journey with this series! Book 1 celebrated their new relationship and closed with Raina leaving Levi with the hope that he would seek help for his alcoholism. Unfortunately, the break up leads to a downward spiral for Levi. While Levi is self-destructing, Raina is just as lost but meets someone new, Dean. Dean is a super nice guy and just wants to be there for Raina as much as she will let him.
We went from the high of young love to the depths of despair as Levi battles his addiction. Raina is struggling with whether she did the right thing by breaking up with Levi and where nice guy Dean fits in. Her already broken heart is torn between the two men. So much angst! I feel for all three in this love triangle. My heart breaks for all of them.
I have no idea what will happen next as I didn’t think we would see the emergence of Dean. Nice guys tend to finish last so I’m worried what will happen to him. Whatever happens, I’m all in for this emotional tale! I need to know what happens next.
Thank you to the author for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
When I read Lovin’ You back in May, I fell in love and had my emotions toyed with. Well Ms. Cole held onto those emotions and continued to toy with them in book 2. There is so much angst in this, I had my heart in my throat for about 80% of this book. This book also brings Dean into Reina’s orbit. He was such a contrast to Levi.
Honestly I can’t say more without spoiling this and book 1 (this can’t be read as a standalone, this is a true sequel) but I went on an even rockier journey with Levi and Reina and I’m ready to go further. I can’t wait until August.
Thanks to Wildfire marketing for allowing my to review an advance copy of this and for allowing me the opportunity to leave an unbiased review.
In Ghostin’ You we rejoin Levi and Raina and are once again pulled right back into their dramatic and turbulent love affair. After Levi develops a problem with alcohol he starts to spiral out of control and become someone Raina doesn’t know or want to be around. He is struggling to focus on what is important, his music and the band, so she decides to leave the relationship in hopes it will help him refocus on what is important. But all it does is start Levi down a destructive path, one that leads him to rehab.
His undoing breaks Raina’s heart and makes her feel like maybe her choice was not a good one. But things are too far out of control for her to try and fix what she broke. So she tries her best to move on, but her heart is broken and she feels like part of her life is missing. Then she meets Dean, and he becomes the someone she needs to lean on, confide in, and help distract her from the haunting memories of her lost love. He is the man she should want, the man she should have a future with… but it’s hard to spend forever with someone, when someone else holds part of your heart. Dean says he understands, and it crushes her that she can’t give all of herself to him… but she is trying. But will it ever be enough?
This trio of characters and all they are dealing with will break your heart, while it’s easy to see Raina and Levi had something special, it is hard to believe they will ever have it again with the way things are now between them. Raina broke a part in him and herself that may never be mended. Then Dean comes along and suddenly you start to think he is perfect for her too, but she struggles to let go Levi and give herself fully to Dean… I am dying to see how this one plays out. Both of these men mean so much to her for so many reasons, but she can only choose one. This one is an emotional roller coaster ride that will leave your heart and mind in shambles… I have been thinking of these three all day now, and I just can’t let them go. They burrowed themselves deep into my heart and thoughts and I am praying there is some peace lying ahead for them. I cannot wait to see what happens!! Highly recommend!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.
Wow! Another wonderfully written story by Lyssa Cole. Raina has begun to move on from Levi but their lives are not where they want them to be. Both are struggling and your heart hurts for them. What happens leaves you shocked and wanting more. I’m so happy we don’t have to wait long for the next book in the series!
Wow – just – Wow!! Walking away from Levi was the hardest thing Raina has to do, but she cannot continue to live with a man who is so dependent on alcohol. But she never thought that is would break her heart to the point where she thinks she will never recover. Levi is also crushed and in his normal fashion hits the bottle harder and harder to the point where his band has had enough. Just when they both feel they have started to live again a chance sighting across a crowded ball room throws them both for a loop. What happens next had me screaming at my kindle. You will just have to read it to understand. Highly emotional and at times too much to bear this was a fabulous read. With each turn of the page the reader becomes more invested in the relationship. They can fell the heartbreak and they can feel the pain. Lyssa Cole has completely captivated me with this book and proves that she is an author that must not be missed. i need the next installment of the series ASAP.
4.5 Stars
Book two in this series is all about the angst. This was a fast read for me and scattered my emotions everywhere. Raina and Levi are broken and too stubborn to admit they may have been wrong. When Raina meets Dean her story quickly turns into a love triangle. Love, loss, tragedy, heartbreak, but there is so much hope that bleeds from the pages that you can’t help having it affect your heart. One action can have so many future ramifications and actions. I cannot wait to read what happens next.
This is the 2nd book in this amazing series. Raina is a lost soul who is conflicted between Levi and the new man in her life Dean, who has a heart of gold and he loves her for who she is. On a night out with Dean, Raina runs into Levi and even knowing he is not the best for he with his self-destructive and addiction habits, she starts to question herself and her decisions. Even knowing that Dean is perfect for her, and Levi is not, Raina has a conundrum on her hands. Who will she choose? This is another beautifully written tale, which is and emotional roller coaster, and is filled with angst, emotion, heartbreak, and love. I cannot wait to read the next book in this phenomenal series, and I highly recommend for all.
NNOOO!!! Oh my, this is one of the best books that I have ever read and this will stay in you mind forever. This book can have 25 million stars, its freaking fantastic. This book was so great it completely captivated me from the beginning to the end and its very raw, very powerful and heartbreaking and some moments were gut wrenchingly painful. My heart was in a vice all the way through and I couldn’t put this book down until id finished from front to back. This series is one of the best I have ever read and you must read book #1 first in the you and Me Series.
Book #1 Lovin’ You
Book #2 Ghostin’ You
Raina is still feeling very raw inside and cant really motivate herself to do anything really because walking away from him has wrecked her deep inside her soul. All she has in her mind to help her to cope is I did it for him.
Levi is also struggling and everything is falling apart and he is still struggling tremendously will alcoholism. His friends are trying to help but all he can think about is her. As time moves on he is still struggling and when he sees her that night with some one else that’s it, he loses it.
Time is moving on slowly and Raina meets Dean, a man that is as good as they come and will do anything for this woman whom he is having very strong feelings for but can Raina really love him back the same way or is she still deep down only in love with the only man to ever really have her? They go on a night together as they have been getting along and this is when everyone’s life changes forever. ( NO SPOILERS )
This author has written these characters so good that the reader really feels connected to them and I felt like I was feeling all that they were too. This book will defiantly have you reaching for the tissues in parts and really rooting for all of them to work things out. My emotions were on a roller coaster during this book but I just couldn’t put it down, its a complete page turner and this series has been totally hooked. I now what it is like to be around someone who is a alcoholic and the struggles and frustrations that go hand in hand with this and it hurts a lot what everyone goes through and I feel like this author written this fantastic and true. This book ends of a huge cliffhanger and it will leave you screaming at you kindle for book #3 desperately. I highly recommend that you read these books in order.
I need book #3 NOWWWW PLEASE!!!
