No longer sure how to navigate life after her enormous loss, Kayley clings to her newborn baby, her family, and her friends to keep herself living.

Amazing book! You would never know that this is LL Collins debut novel!
 
 I've never had a book that had me ugly crying from the 1st chapter until the end of the book! I loved it!
The characters were strong! Kayley is one of the strongest woman I've ever read! She had to endure the unthinkable & raise her child alone! My heart went out to her! I really can't imagine going through so much!  Until tragedy struck again & fate brought her to Ben!
 
Ben Ben Ben! He's the dreamy hot DR that every woman would love to be with!
 
Kayley fought the attraction at first with fears of falling in love & losing again!
 
With both having walls up, will they give in & trust their connection! The ending was perfect! I can't wait to read the rest of the series!!

Another amazing book by LL Collins! I loved this book from beginning to end! Awesome job in expressing the emotions and personalities of the characters!

I love Rachel! She just has a great personality! I felt so bad for her with everything she had to endure! She's a funny strong woman! I could relate to her on many levels!


 I seriously wanted to throat punch Zack and Justin!! I can't even begin to express the hate I have for those two!

Then there is Devin! Omg he's a dream come true! Really a great guy that will do anything to protect the people he loves! It's the perfect mixture of every emotion possible: love, hate, passion, fear, sadness, heartache, friendship, suspense & determination! The perfect novel!! I can't wait for more!

Another amazing book by LL Collins! I was totally captivated throughout the whole book! It never fails to amaze me how incredibly emotional I get with this series! Perfect from beginning to end!

Sam & Ellis are two of my favorite characters ever! The love that the two of them have for not only each other but for life itself is breathtaking! Sam is this mega country music star. She's beautiful, popular, sweet & strong! Strong except when it comes to her parents that try to run her life since they are her managers. Ellis is a hard ass but sweet guy that had a very rough upbringing & past! It was evident from the start that there was an immediate connection & spark! Part of the book was them denying it & convincing the other that they we meant to be! We all knew it! I'm so glad that didn't last long!

This book was so much more than just a love story! It was intense at times when tragedy struck! I was shocked with the turn of events! It was awesome watching as the events unfolded, they 2 of them growing into these amazingly strong characters & couple! BUT when things don't go as planned & tragedy strikes once again, can they survive? Will Sam stick by Ellis's side during the most important time of his life? Can Ellis deal with being in the spotlight 24/7?

The anticipation of wondering what the end would bring was astonishing! I can't wait for more for Mrs Collins!

Finding Forever:
Due to adult content and subject matter, 18+, please. This is the fourth book in the Living Again series, but can be read as a standalone. However, there are spoilers in the epilogues of this book for the previous three books. This book is based on a true story. 

Lacey Russell has had enough heartbreak and loss for one lifetime. Turning tragedy into motivation, she becomes a veterinarian to honor her mother’s memory. She knows the path her life is on and she decided long ago that falling in love is not part of that plan. She’s seen firsthand that all it does is cause sorrow and pain.
Brantley Tucker is the heir to Tucker Ranch, the most well-known ranch in all of Nashville. Much to the dismay of his parents, he doesn’t want it. It’s always been his dream to model, and he’s worked hard to achieve success. All he wants is to be supported and loved, but he wonders if that will ever happen for him.
After many chance encounters throw Lacey and Brant together, it feels like something bigger than them is at work. When Lacey gets news that shatters her entire world, can she accept the support and love that Brant offers, or will the fear of the unknown make her turn down the chance at finding her forever?

Aaammmazing!!

I can't even begin to say how much I love this series!
 
 
This book was the perfect end to the Living Again crew! This is a short story of Alexis,all grown up and heading to college! It's more than just a run down of her life! It's a story of love, bullying, mental illness, determination, heartache, friendship and loyalty!
 
Greer started off as a weak, shy and broken shell of a young man! Through the love and sheer determination of Alexis, we watched him become a strong loving, confident man!
 
 I was in tears several times with the amazing amount of compassion and love the characters shown! This was the perfect end to their story! I am in awe of 'LL's writing & can't wait to read more of her work!
