*Synopsis
They say that madness is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...but what happens when the very person that brought your heart back to life has the ability to shatter it with one confession?
After an explosive affair left their hearts shattered and scarred, Georgia and Tristan are trying for a fresh start. She is determined to take it slow and not repeat the mistakes of the past, while Tristan is willing to throw caution to the wind as long as he has his dark-haired girl in his life...and in his bed.
But Georgia and Tristan can't shelter their love from the outside world, and the moments of exquisite passion they share aren't enough to sustain the relationship. When scars from the past resurface—will their hearts meld together as one? Or will outside forces tear them apart, leaving an empty shell where love and passion once thrived?

My Review:
I simply adore this series, although it is a slighter darker romance due to the first book. Thought The Mourning After (book one) gives essentially a HEA, this book is NOT a rehash of book one. I think a reader really needs the first book to fully understand the characters in this book for maximum enjoyment. Their past, rife with 'cheating', in addition to their skeletons in the closet is a perfect foil to their all-encompassing love.
Officially, my rating is only 4½♥'s. I feel absolutely confident of rounding up to 5 stars in this case, because my slight issue with the story lies with my own, somewhat similar experience. I don't want to go into specifics of my past, but my own past colored the book a bit just due to reminders of personal not-so-happy moments.
I LOVED getting to see inside Tristan's mind (as well as still hearing from Georgia.) Being able to know exactly what he was feeling and thinking provided such insight and really added a more rich layer. I had no difficulties remember who's head I was inside at any given time. I think the dual narrators was absolutely perfect for this book, and would have suffered with it's absence.
The characters you know and love from book one all make appearances in this, including one of my not-so-loved characters, Kyle. *rolls eyes* Douchebag once, douchebag always. But sometimes you need to have the experiences with the douchebags of this world to really recognize the diamonds you run across, the loves that are worth fighting for.
These books have confirmed my 'fandom' of Adriane Leigh's writing, she's achieved 'auto-buy' status in my 'book'.
I received a free ARC eBook in exchange for my unbiased review

INTERVIEW
What are you reading right now? (Other
than this question….)
I'm in between books-- I'm either starting Wethering the Storm or Worthy of Redemption tonight.
Do characters or stories (plots) drive your writing?
I start with the story and once I have a good sense of the characters they take over and drive the ship :)
What color is your toothbrush?
white + green
What's your favorite quote (from any source)?
"She reads books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live" is tattooed on my arm, so I would say that one!
How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?
Depends on how talented you are ;)
Are you a morning person?
Not in any way whatsoever!
Which,
if any, big screen production of a literary work are you looking
forward to?
Obviously, Fifty Shades! Even if it's terrible I'll see it again and again!
What is the average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
This feels like a science queston, and I don't do science. Or math. If it's outside of reading or writing it's not my forte.
What would we find in your refrigerator right now?
Juice, feta, and half empty condiment bottles. I need to go shopping!
You can take a road trip with anyone (living or dead, fictional or real), who would you take and
where would you go?
I'd go to the North Carolina beach with Tristan! I want that golden hair and lopsided smile in person!
