Leo

Leo by Mia Sheridan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


5++ 'The Truth Shall Set you Free' Stars!!!

To say that I LOVED THIS BOOK would be a dramtic understatement. A debut novel this strong? This author will be on my watch list, can't wait to read what she writes next!

When I first started this, I was immediately hooked. The first scene with Leo and Evie was emotional and heartbreaking. After leaning on each other for support while living through the foster care system, their bond grew into something so powerful that it'd take more than death to keep them apart.

Leo:

 

  "I'm going to kiss you now, Evie, and when I do, it's going to mean that you're mine."

Evie:

 


  "Maybe I'm an open book, or maybe love is like a magnifying glass straight into the souls of those who own your heart."

Beautiful story that came from pain, loss, abuse, and being left behind. Eight years after Leo left, Evie had persevered through life regardless of the shit she had been given. She made a life for herself and even though it was without the glitz and glammer, she was content. With her charming personality, compassion for the poeple around her, and love for life, she had a profound impact on me.
Poor Leo, he was separated from the only thing in life that gave him hope...his Evie. She tried to keep his memory hidden, it was too painful to bare, but she still wondered...What became of the boy who left so many years ago??


  " I will prove to you that forever is not just a word, not just a measurement of unending time, but that forever is a place here I will treasure your heart."

Then there's Jake. He had lived a life of recklessness, had his share of women, and had almost driven himself to the point of no return. Then, as a favor to Leo, he watched Evie on the sidelines just to make sure she was ok. But then after their first encounter, his life was never the same. Jake has his secrets but like always, the truth will set you free.

So who won Evie's heart? A memory from childhood? Or the strikingly handsome man before her? Thats for you to find out!

But I will say...Leo had my heart from the start. And Jake? He was a close second.

I would recommend this to everyone!!
