Breaking Her (Love is War, #2)

"Life Before Scarlett. Life With Scarlett. Life After Scarlett"
This is the duet to "Breaking Him," which MUST be read first. I immediately dove into this one as the first ended in a big cliffy! Ms. Lilley calls this duet "Love Is War" and it couldn't be more aptly named.
"Wanting her."
"Needing her."
"Having her."
"Losing her."
"I'd been mad for her since we were ten years old and she gave me her first conspiratorial grin, the one that told me we'd be giving the world hell."
Dante's love for Scarlett has consumed him since he was a boy. Every move, every decision and every promise he has ever made was to protect her. He can barely breathe without her and will do whatever it takes to get her back.
"But always, always, there was a cloud looming over our heads, a storm on the brink, and in my mind, at least, there is only one person to blame for it."
Ah yes, who was to blame? I needed answers to many questions. They were slow in coming, but I was glad to hear Dante's thoughts as the storyline alternated between his and Scarlett's POV. There is a back and forth between the past and present, which is essential. This wasn't just a bunch of rehashing of the first book, but a continuation of the story, an eventual ending which was satisfying.
Dante and Scarlett's relationship is scorching hot, but virtual land mines surround them from all directions. They don't have a chance in hell to survive them.
Angst, lies, deception, devotion, hate/love, steamy sex, mystery ...... this has it all. It is a crazy, complicated ball of hot mess, but one I enjoyed seeing unravel, as it kept me burning through the pages. I will admit though, I did do the eye roll thingy a time or two, but not enough to knock down my four star rating.
