Wicked Heart The Starcrossed Series Book 3 edition by Leisa Rayven Contemporary Romance eBooks

My heart is in about a million shattered pieces right now, before that it was ripped out, twisted, and stomped on. That being said, this book is my favorite of 2016 so far, put it at the top of your to-read list right now, I'll wait...
Ok, so if you have been lucky enough to read Bad Romeo and Broken Juliet before this, you will know that Elissa is Ethan Holt's brother, however, Wicked Heart can easily be read as a standalone. It involves Elissa- an adorable girl who prefers the backstage, and Liam- an actor at the top of his game. These two had a passionate fling years before, but when Liam and his fiancée are set to star in the theater production that Elissa is the stage manager for, the two reconnect, and feelings reignite.
Let me stop here- if you are not a fan of cheating or love triangles, just trust me on this one, you will not be disappointed with Wicked Heart.
My thoughts- oh wow, the angst, you already know how my heart responded to this book, but the vast array of emotions I was feeling was astounding. I was laughing, smiling, cringing, and wanting to throw the book across the room. It was absolute perfection, pure and simple. The characters were jumping off the pages, I felt I truly knew them with Ms. Rayven's writing. The plot was beautiful, it flowed together, even though I normally don't like when stories go between the future and the past, Ms. Rayven weaves the tale so intricately I barely noticed it was told that way, it didn't feel jumpy at all.
All in all, this is a must-read, I loved Cassie and Ethan's story, but I actually fell in love with Liam and Elissa. I'm not sure how future couples are ever going to compete against these two in my mind, they are in a league of their own.
A huge thank you to the author and publisher for a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Wicked Heart The Starcrossed Series Book 3 edition by Leisa Rayven Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews

Elissa Holt prefers to be behind the scenes rather than in the spotlight, which is why she is a stage manager rather than an actor. She takes her job seriously, maintaining a calm and professional demeanor at all times. That is, until Liam Quinn comes back into her life and Elissa has no choice but to face him again. Six years ago, Elissa and Liam worked together on a Romeo and Juliet production and for a brief moment, they had something amazing between them, until Liam left to pursue his goal of stardom and then they were no more. Elissa's heart never recovered and has always doubted herself since then when it comes to love.

Now Liam and his fiancee, Angel Bell, are co-starring together in the new production and Elissa finds herself in the same situation as before, wanting someone she can't have or keep. The story is told in the present tense but there is a portion that flashes back to 6 years ago to describe how Elissa and Liam met and then how things ended, which I felt the pain of. Elissa is down to earth, funny and relatable. As for Liam, there's actually no reason not to like him as much as I wanted to find one because he's such a good guy. While he may be a talented actor and is engaged, there's no acting when it comes to being around Elissa. As for Angel, she surprised me, in a good way.

The story is a combination of angsty, heartbreaking, humorous, entertaining and sexy. There's a lot of things going on, mixed in with some drama of course, but had me glued to the pages, anticipating what would happen next. I love this series and Wicked Heart is no exception. Fantastic story!
5 fateful stars!

"I used to think that if I just waited long enough, fate would bring us back together. That our stars would align, or whatever, and you'd come crashing back into my life to stay. But that didn't happen. So now I say, screw it. I'm done waiting. Sometimes, fate is what you make it."

This book in one word

ANGST

And being the angst whore I am I ate up every single bit of it. I loved Bad Romeo and Broken Juliet, so there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to read the next book Leisa Rayven put out. The arc had been sitting in my kindle for a while, and boy am I kicking myself for not reading it the moment I received it! This was soooooooooo good! (At least, it was for me). The perfect angst fix I needed when my angst supply ran out, and Rayven is the dealer ;-)

Wicked Heart is the second chance love story of Liam and Elissa. Six years earlier, Liam and Elissa had a fling, but one that stuck with Elissa throughout the years. Liam left to become a big time movie star and Elissa remained in New York and became a prominent stage manager in the acting community. Now Elissa is working on a new production of Romeo & Juliet with her director friend Marco, and the kicker? It's starring Liam and his gorgeous fiance Angel.

Now the two are working in close proximity and old tensions and feelings begin to rise. But Elissa doesn't want to give in to her attractions for many reasons, and Liam wants to be respectful of her.

So based on my 5 star rating I'm pretty sure you've deduced I loved this book. If that's not obvious, let me say it clearly I loved this book!

If it hadn't been for stupid real life (always getting in the way, so pesky) I would have finished this book all in one sitting. There came a real point in this book where I was reading late into the night and this was me

I loved Liam and I loved Elissa, separate and together. I get that their relationship can be seen as a kind of instalove, but it just clicked. Their connection was so tangible to me as a reader, I felt for them the entire book through every choice, every moment. And on the plus side, this book was HOT. For real. I got to have my angst cake AND eat it too???? I'm a happy reader.

Rayven gave excellent explanations for past actions, ones that I had thought were unforgivable but I turned out to be wrong. Elissa wasn't a doormat, she was a strong woman put in the horrible position of being confronted with the scenario that the love of her life was engaged to another woman. So while she wasn't perfect, I sure as hell am not going to judge her for it.

Liam as a hero was so genuine, I instantly was on his team. Not that there were a bunch of teams, but if there was one, I'm in it. I was rooting for him and Elissa and while I didn't understand some things near the beginning of the book, when all was said and done I began to understand his actions when seeing them in a new light.

Another bonus..... this book is a standalone. No waiting, no cliffhangers. Just full on satisfaction at the end of the book. What more could you want?

"The one thing you're absolutely not allowed to give up on is true love. When you find it, you should grab it with both hands and never let it go, because although it might not always be easy or convenient, it's worth it."
