Saturday, November 23rd-Finished
Stella was 14 when her Father, Brother and Uncle were taken away from her in a car accident. If that wasn't bad enough, her Aunt and Cousin could no longer stay in London with the memories and moved to Italy. That left her and her Mom alone to try and pick up the pieces of the life together.
Four years later Stella was diagnosed with Cancer and needed to have 2 surgeries in 10 months. Even then it wasn't guaranteed that she was cured. Stella decided she needed to get away for the summer to visit her cousin Lisa in Italy.
"Somewhere I can meet people who don't think of me as the firl who has lost her father and her brother and now has cancer. I want to have fun, even if it's just for a couple of months."
Stella meets Max on the beach on her first day in Genoa, Italy. She didn't know at the time that he was Lisa's best friend and when she did find out she was already falling for him.
Stella and Max both tried to fight the attraction they have together. Excuses were made, time was spent apart, but alas, their attraction was too strong.
"In my defence, how could I not? I've never met a man who had such an effect on me. I don't know his name, but I was ready to wrap my legs around his waist. In a heartbeat."
Over the next 6 weeks, they became inseperable, but only on the terms that end the end of their time, she would go back to London and they would move on with their lives.
Stella and Max's story was one that was that broke my heart and mended it at the same time.
Their story of true love and the powers that can entail kept me entranced throughout the whole book.
It's incredible the horrible things that Stella was put through, but still had enough love in her heart, even without her realizing it.
I shouldn't even get started on Max **pitter patter goes my heart**. The way he felt about Stella dn the passion he felt for her **sigh**.
Throughout this story we also got to know Gia and Beppe (who will be staring in book 2) and Lisa and Gino (who will be in book 3). Teodora has dont a good job in preparing us for the next books and I am beyond excited to continue the series.
Until my next Blog when I have started Then, Now, Forever.
