What an amazing debut by Elle Michaels. I could not put this book down and stayed up until 3 am reading. It's a story about survival, about second chances, about a love that never gives up and how things aren't always what they seem.

Brooke has had to start her life over. At a young age, she has already loved and lost so much. When she meet Tyler, she never imagined her life with him being so freeing, so amazing, so real. But Brooke has secrets to her past that she is not sure how he will react to. Their relationship turns into something she never thought she would feel again. The only thing is, was what she had before real? Or is Ty able to show her what true friendship and love is. As the secrets get revealed, not only by Brooke but Ty as well - will their chemistry be able to withstand all that is a flurry around them?

I was in awe of Tyler and loved the friendship and companionship that he had with Brooke. How she wasn't going to run him off.  And Brooke's best friend shows up what it truly means to be a BEST Friend.

I highly recommend this book for those who love a well written love story. Can't wait for more from Elle!

LOVE AFTER ALL (Hope #4) - Release Date: March 31, 2015

High school math teacher Chelsea Gardner has the perfect plan. She’s tired of dating all the wrong men, and after years of frustration, she’s developed a foolproof list of requirements for finding “The One.”

Bar owner Sebastian “Bash” Palmer finds Chelsea beautiful, smart and fun, but he thinks her list is ridiculous and unnecessary. Intent on proving Chelsea is looking for love in all the wrong ways, he offers to help her find the “perfect” man.

Chelsea knows Bash isn’t the right guy for her—he barely meets one of her criteria—but there’s something about the charismatic man that has her yearning for things that are most definitely not list approved.

Because sometimes, a relationship that looks totally wrong on paper can turn out incredibly right…
