“I've been broken and she's my missing pieces, all of them. My heart wants what it wants. She is the other half of my soul. I will never feel whole until she's mine.”

Okay... I have had this since it came out and I hadn't read it. WHY!?! I know not. But I am kicking myself because I freaking LOVED Shane's POV. He was so AWESOME!! And funny and sexy, and just... I have no words. Loved it!

"Love is patiently waiting for centuries to touch someone's lips again; love was giving up everything of yourself to let someone else be safe. Love is that breathless feeling when you want someone. It's the need to be a part of someone or you won't feel whole."

"I never FELL. I was PUSHED, and now I’m a HUMAN, not a fallen angel. I’m not dishonored, I was betrayed. I wasn’t humiliated, I was humbled. I’m not fallen, because I was forgiven.”

I think what kept me away from this, was that I had read books in the past where a book comes out in the male POV and it didn't really add anything new to the story. It was pretty much the same thing. In this book, yeah we get a lot of the same but that is because he was in a lot of scenes with Grace. BUT... there were also parts where we find out what he was doing, what he was thinking, and what happened to him when he wasn't with Grace. I LOVED every moment of it. If I didn't love him before, well I without a doubt do now. He was super Alpha, like extremely so, and it was highly entertaining to read. He would become possessive and jealous of any male that came near Grace. It was actually really hilarious reading all of his inner banter and the banter between him with the other characters. He could be so freaking sweet and romantic too. The way he would give it all up for his soulmate and fight for their forbidden love... SIGH! I can't say enough how much I love him! I seriously can't believe I forgot how SEXY he could be.

"You want to be my first, Shane?"

"No, baby. I'm going to be your last."

I already liked Grace from the first two books which were in her POV. (In case you didn't know, this book is the two books combined in Shane's POV.) I still really like her in this book too. Which I was surprised. Usually I end up disliking the female lead when reading the story in the male pov. But not here. I still liked her badassness. She was strong woman and although she gave my ovaries... I mean... Shane an extreme case of blue balls, she was still really awesome. I loved it when she stood up to that weird Bliss chick. I also liked how Alex would joke around with her about trying to get her v-card. He was so freaking funny!

"The idea of a twenty-three year old virgin is thought to be an endangered species. So, I was hoping you would let us take you through the spiritual journey of this undiscovered land. I'd like to start a blog, a documentary of sorts, about the experience of going where no penis has gone before."

Well, pretty much all the band members would joke around with her. All of it was highly entertaining. I really liked how she dealt with Tucker (whom I forgot could be so damn annoying). I really enjoyed reading Grace interact with Lea, I forgot how freaking hilarious Lea was. Even Grace could be too, like when they messed around with Lea's mom. But Lea was the most hilarious, out there, female character.

“Put a damn shirt on and cover up your eighteen pack or whatever you got going on under that skin, you are making me drool.”

“Lea, stop saying crap like that to me and stop gawking, awkward.”

Lea smiled down at me, “You, sir are a bit easy on the eye, so therefore I shall stare at you. If you feel at all uncomfortable, I could always knock you over the head with something until you’re unconscious and take pictures.”

“Holy Discovery Channel Sex, Conner, we are going to get caught in a porn storm between these two. Conner you better be coming with us too, because if I have to watch them making googley-steamy-nasty-dirty-sex-eyes at each other, there won’t be a vibrator in the world big enough to satisfy me.”

Lea was not wrong. The sexual frustration was killing me, as it was Shane. People and electronics kept standing in their way. I'm surprised his balls didn't just fall off because damn, that wait was so long. I could have totally helped Shane out, thank god she gave in eventually. It was worth the wait, Shane was unbelieveably SWOONY!!! The things he said and thought... heart and panty melting. *BIG SIGH* He was just perfect and so romantic.




Then there was the cray cray angel, Gabriel. I didn't remember him being so freaking creepy and crazy, but he was. I really hated him. I still don't get how he was able to get away with doing what he did to them for so long. I loved the ending because now I know what happened to Shane and what he did to save Grace. But I was left wanting more. And wondering what happened to Gabriel. Is he going to come back eventually?? I don't know. I'm kind of hoping there will be a continuation to the series by how things ended.

"Let me in, because I promise you, I will pick up every little broken piece of you, every single fucking piece Grace. For the rest of my fucking life, I will put you back together...I will make you whole again."

The epilogue was so fantastic. My heart was overjoyed for them. I also am so happy that I got to see what happened with Connor and Lea. I thought that was really great. Like I mentioned before, this book had a lot from the previous books but it also had some things added to it. I'm not sure if people would enjoy this book as much as I did, if they read the whole series continuously. But since I read those two books in probably close to a year ago, I really enjoyed it. Overall, I loved it! If you enjoyed the previous books or just enjoy male pov books, I definitely recommend you give this a try.
