"Sometimes people come into your life and leave, but not before putting an imprint on your heart and teaching you a life lesson."

I just finished reading this and I am so excited to finally get the conclusion of Mimi and Corey's Story. The ending to their first story seriously left me yelling....WHAT!! So when this book finally hit my Kindle, I could not wait to get started. I have loved Mimi since the beginning! I have always loved her snarky attitude and the way she has always supported the people she loves.

Corey has come a long way throughout this series. Since book one, he has always been the asshole. He has always picked on people and has never cared about anyone but himself. He was going through a lot with his family but took it out on everyone else. As the books went on, little by little, Corey has started to become a better person. His relationship got better with Jenna and his true feelings for Mimi were starting to surface. Mimi brought the best out in Corey, and no matter how much crap he put her through, their love was strong enough to get them through. Corey would do anything to get Mimi's trust back, and had no problem letting her know how he felt...

"Yes. Deny me all you want. Tell me you hate me, scratch me, smack me, yell at me...Do whatever the fuck you have to do, but never, and I mean never, give up on us."

Bittersweet Trust was the perfect conclusion to Corey and Mimi's relationship. I feel that we really got to see the true Corey, and not the Corey he has always tried to portray himself to be. The way he is with Mimi really shows how he truly loves her and how he is finally letting his walls down. The fears that he has always had are finally put to rest and he is able to finally live. With this new revelation Corey is ready to put all his cards down for Mimi, and ask for her to do the same....

"I want you. All of you. The fucked up, the good, the bad, the ugly. I'm far from perfect, Mimi. I've fucked up so much. I've made mistakes, but nothing was as big as walking away from you. So please...Just..." My fingers dig into her hips as if to hold her into place so she can never run away. "Just forgive me. Please. Be mine. Let me love you. Let me be everything you need."

I really enjoyed all the stories in this series. Each individual character has had a special role in bringing the stories alive. I will say that I was sad to see that it was ending....but I am happy and very interested in this Declan guy, sounds like he can be....Yummy!
