She’s no stranger to love and loss…
By age eighteen, Alexa Kingsley had lost everyone. Only Joey, the lonely boy next door, remained. He’d clung to Alexa like a lifeline through years of abuse at the hands of his father, and she vowed to protect him as best she could. Alexa thought Joey was the one person who’d always be there—until the day he left her as well. Finally forced to go it alone, Alexa finds this latest loss may hurt worst of all.
He’s no stranger to lack of love…
Joseph O’Connor was every bit the villain his father trained him to be, his young heart twisted into something ugly, corrupted. But his father underestimated the girl next door, miscalculated the impact Lexi would have on Joey’s life, the spark she ignited that eventually, despite all odds, grew to an inferno of hope. To reclaim her, Joey must first become a man Lexi can be proud of…the kind of man she deserves.
Amidst a shadowy world of guns and drugs, will Joey’s ultimate sacrifice—a declaration of love from a man who was never shown any at all—be enough to finally set him free?
"Oh gods I have stalked this author and this book right from the get go, freaking love this author and her writing style, the dark, the emotions, the grit, all things that make this one of my favorite authors.." ~ Kitty Kats Crazy About Books
"This is so beautifully written it brought tears to my eyes. Brilliant plot with beautiful characters." ~ Goodreads Reviewer
ANOTHER ah-maaazing story by Evie Harper! Joey and Lexi's journey was intense, suspenseful, and heart breaking. Within the first few chapters, I was a ball of emotions! Joey's childhood was nothing short of tragic. To read about his life growing up with a monster gave a clear picture of who Joey was and of the inner demons he faced. Lexi, as a child struggling with the loss of her parents, was the light to his darkness. Despite their connection at an early age, life and love was not always easy for them as we read in You Loved Me At My Darkest, Lily and Jake's story.
"Our passion bound us together, but our love is why I will sin for this man, why I will always be by his side." ~Lexi
When Joey and Lexi are reunited, all hell breaks loose. Ties are broken and a love is lost. Betrayal and heart break take their toll on Joey and Lexi, but together with their friends and family, they are able to withstand the evil that wages war on their happiness.
"When pain is all you've ever known, how do you accept that you deserve good in your life? And Lexi is so much more than just goodness;she's pure happiness for me." ~Joey
I loved this book! Evie Harper has stolen my heart with this series. Joey and Lexi's story along with Lily's epilogue, was a beautiful conclusion to this amazing set of novels. Every story has been written with a gripping storyline and lovely characters that you can't help but fall for. In Joey and Lexi's story, we are lead back to the Portland Street Kings and introduced to the O'Connor Brothers. I love how Evie has brilliantly weaved these stories together, yet they can be read as stand-alone novels. Why anyone would not want to read them all, is beyond me, because they are ALL must reads! Although I am sad to see this series come to an end, I can not wait to read what Evie writes next! If you haven't read any of the You Loved Me series or began the Portland Street Kings with Collision, what are you waiting for?!
