If you have not read
A Woman Gone Mad, stop reading this review and read it first!
In A Woman Gone Mad
we experienced Lil’s heart breaking and maddening pain. In Holding
Her In Madness, this is Leo’s story, his POV and his own pain and heart
break brought on by the one woman who could bring him to his knees and how he
feels while Lil has hit her lowest point.
Leo fell for Lil hard, obsessively can’t live without her
hard. She was his EVERYTHING. He lived and breathed for her. When he is forced away from her and
threatened, it begins his own downward spiral of drugs, alcohol, heart break
and pain. He goes to the edge, almost
falls over but is saved. He never thinks
he will be able to live without Lil in his life, even if he has to stay away
from her, she will always own his heart.
That is, until something happens that makes him forget Lil and move on
with someone new. He gets married and
you think that he really had gotten past his feeling for Lil, but when you
learn the truth you are surprised that he doesn’t hurt the person who deceived him
and took Lil away for so long.
Leo is his own brand of fucked up, but luckily he is
stronger than his demons and is able to pull himself from the depths of his own
hell and heal. When he has his second
chance with Lil you think that finally Leo and Lil will have their chance at
happiness but tragedy strikes and Leo is unable to pull Lil from her madness
and gives up on her in a way. He knows
everything she is doing since they have been separated and while it is killing
him he doesn’t know what to do to save her.
When Leo gets a call that changes the course of everything,
he knows that he needs to be there and be Lil’s savior, rock and love. He saves her from the brink of destruction
just in time, his pain is just as powerful as Lil’s. He is her knight in armor, it’s not shinning
by any means but dinged, dented and well used but he will protect her with his
life so he never loses her again. Too
much time and pain had come between them and he wasn’t going to let it happen
again.
I loved this follow up to A Woman Gone Mad, I had wondered what had transpired in Leo’s life
that he left Lil and didn’t look back.
These are not pretty stories, they are filled with pain and suffering
and heart break. Both books moved my
emotions, that for days later I felt so emotional that I couldn’t explain
it. By now those of you have read my
reviews I will tell you if a book or series is one that I feel you should pick
up and give a chance. Well, A Woman Gone Mad and Holding Her In Madness are two books
that not only still have me emotionally fucked up but are two of the best books
I have read so far in 2014 and need to be put on your TBR lists immediately if
they are not already on there. Just.
Trust. Me. Kimber S. Dawn, babe you have
a fan for life in me, keep on writing these emotion engaging reads cause I will
keep on reading them!
