it was amazing

Everything about Living Again blew me away. Right from the start it was emotional and full of heartbreaking moments. Kayley is suddenly faced with the reality that her life will never be the same. A life is cut entirely too short after a drunk driving accident. With her whole world turned upside down, Kayley is living her darkest days alone and pregnant. Not only is she about to become a first time mom, but she is doing so without her husband and best friend.

After a ton of soul searching, Kayley begins to see the beauty of the direction her life has taken her thanks to a very special Dr. Yummy who sets her world back on its axis. With emotional flashbacks causing her to doubt her feelings, Kayley’s friends help set her up with the very man who would help pull her from darkness to light. Thankfully, Ben is determined to get the girl no matter what kind of fight he has to put up.

While I have only given a brief look into what goes on in this story, I can and will tell you it is worth every tear you shed, every smile you make and every bit your heart melts. Soul mates are a once in a lifetime find. If you are lucky enough to find yours after tragedy, you are capable of making it through anything. Kayley and Ben are tested several times in ways that will frustrate you, excite you and just plain piss you off. I read to 48% and chucked my Kindle across the couch refusing to believe what I felt was about to happen. I hopped on Goodreads and sent the author a message telling her what she was doing to me. Ask her, it’s totally true! That is how worked up the angst filled moments got me. I was 100% invested in all things Kayley and Ben.

Wait until you meet little Alexis. Never has a child affected me as much as this little princess did. The writing for children is usually sporadic and never really plot filled information. That is not the case for this little one. I looked forward to the moments she was in the story and loved her sweet heart. The moment I heard Daddy Ben, I lost it. I cried more tears about her than probably anyone else. Her moments with her daddy were beyond special and memorable. This book focuses on the family and not just a couple.

Living Again reminded me how important it is to treasure every moment you have. No matter what the next day will provide, you owe it to yourself to stay grounded. Things are just things and nothing can give you as much fulfillment as loving another person. I am so impressed this is L.L. Collins first published book and can’t wait for more!
