Blurb: 
 
It had been six years since my world was turned upside down.
He exposed me to the darker side of life and I could never go back to the person I was.
I had been through more things the average person couldn’t even relate to.
 
If I had the chance to go back and do things differently though?
Not a chance.
 
I’d pick him a thousand times. A million times. For eternity.
 
I guess not much has changed.

My name is Alexa Ballentine, and I am still in love with my stalker.

About the author:

Belle Aurora is thirty-something year old and was born in the land down under.
At an early age she fell in love with reading. Boredom one summer had her scouring the bookshelves at home. She stumbled across Sandra Brown’s Breath of Scandal and fell in love with romance.
Having been brought up in a loud and boisterous family of Croatian descent, she developed a natural love for dramatics and laughter. Only some years ago had she discovered a new love.
Humorous romance novels.
So many authors had opened a brand new world where she could lose herself yet feel safe and at home in their stories. Belle has been known to become a screeching banshee while anxiously awaiting their newest titles.
Belle never thought she would write. It had never interested her until recently. Friend-Zoned began to form and in February this year Belle typed the words Chapter One. And she fell in love.
With words.
With writing.
With a creative imagination she never knew she harbored.

Belle Aurora is a USA Today best-selling author.

 My review:

Well, this was a whole lot different to the first book but that was to be expected. What I didn't count on though was the emotional rollercoaster this story took me on, because I was not prepared to get hearts and flowers instead of blood and violence.
'If chaos and fury were ever joined, Twitch would be the child born of the coupling. And what a crazy, beautiful hurricane he was.'
This book wasn't as brutal as the first, it concentrated more on other emotional aspects. Though fear not, there was enough badassness and craziness going on with certain people in the picture. Psycho bitch Ling, just to name one.

Twitch will surprise you. All these years away from his friends and family have changed him and you will see a side of him that you haven't yet seen. He wasn't an entirely new person and still had his all-beloved alpha characteristics but a child is bound to change a person, as it did Twitch.
'He had the horns of a demon, the eyes of an angel, and the mouth of a god.'
In typical Twitch fashion, emotions were always explosive no matter if they're positive or negative. So, grab some wine, prepare some tissues and don't throw your book against the wall. =P

The Story:
It's been six years since Twitch's 'death' and those years have changed Lexi. But what hasn't changed was her love for him, for the one and only man in her life besides her son. What she didn't know though was soon to be revealed because Twitch wasn't far anymore and the years apart from her had changed him too. He got restless and couldn't wait any longer to have her by his side again and be a father to his son. Sounds easy, right?! Well, there's always someone lurking in the shadows when you least expect it.
‘He was something I needed more than I needed to breathe.’
Thoughts:
This book broke my heart at different stages and I don't want to tell you too much. But at first, while Twitch was back and I as a reader knew that, not everyone of the story did. Especially Alexa still hurt from the loss and it was just so hard to see everyone struggle for different reasons. Some knew he was alive but weren't allowed to say and had to watch their friends grief and struggle with their pain.

There were also new characters introduced and I loved every one of them! I really hope we get to see at least some of them again.
Don't be shocked but I even had my sympathy moments with that psycho bitch Ling. But most of all was I happy to have all my beloved characters back, Happy, Julius, and all the others. And A.J. was the coolest kid ever.

I was also deeply affected by a lot of scenes and many moments in this book. If it was Lexi grieving or Twitch's restlessness to have his family back, or even friendly reunions or surprising feelings of characters I didn't think were capable of such. It was surprising how often those overwhelming emotions made me cry.

As I mentioned before, this story wasn't as brutal and bloody than the first book but although it showed a different side of Twitch there was still a lot of his well-known dark side present, just not as animalistic.
'I'd found my religion. Lexi was my bible. And with her mercy, I would be reborn.'
This story was all about family and I loved it. It was absolutely perfect and so much more than I anticipated! I loved this family and will miss them so much. I hope we will see them again in one of the author's future books.
If you're new to this book, you need to read Raw #1 first and please do so because you really don't want to miss out on this awesome series and especially Twitch!

-- I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book given by Give Me Books Promotions. --

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
