My name is Livie Marie Acosta. I am a firm believer that childhood memories are supposed to be happy, joyous, and beautiful. I also believe everyone else in life has just that… except for me, of course.
I came close to having that once with my own family. I had a loving mother that treated me like her little princess. My father was, and still is, the biggest support system in my life, but even his love isn’t enough for me at times. I would have been a proud big sister at the age of seven, but Antonio Jr. was torn away from us before he was even born.
I was destined to be alone and hurt, both emotionally and physically scarred.
The only skeletons that remained of my once happy family was a father I adored, but who lived hundreds of miles away, and a mother whom I had spent most of my own life saving from her demons.
Like many people, they are scarred so deep that when they bleed, it is a reminder that they are still human.
I have a secret. A secret only I know about. I keep my secret well, and keep it hidden from the peeping eyes of the world.
At least I tried… that is until two angels barged into my life, and into my scattered heart. Their presence in my life spun me on my heels, turning my world yet again upside down, and right side up all at the same time.
What I find could either save me, or finally push me over the edge.

Read on for my review ....
What a lovely simple start to a series. This book had me crying and laughing.
Livie meets Law on her first day of job hunting. The pair hit it off immediately and although at times it seems unrealistic the author has written it beautiully, making it honest and raw.
The pair have known each other less then 24 hours and already cannot live without each other.
When i first read the connection between the two i honestly thought they was going to hit it off but then Ocean comes into the scene and within two minutes in his presence they also cannot live without each other.
It sounds so unrealistic but reading the novel its believable and so honest and raw.
Livie has a secret and its that she is a cutter. Why i still don't understand. Verbally abusive parent - to me anyway- isn't enough to go that far. I didn't understand her will to conflict pain on something that could have been easily fixed by her moving in with her dad, who in which she adores.
When her mom dies and the way her mom dies its then i understand as to why she may do it but then she is determined not to become her mother, yet does the one thing she did to herself.
I felt so deeply towards her and loved her strong, funny, loving character. Shes a fighter in a physical and emotional way and she only realizes she is physically and has yet to realize she is emotionally.
The ending seriously shocked me, well i say end more as a beginning. I cannot wait for the next book to be published and to carry on Livie, Oceans and Laws story.
