From Goodreads:
Note to Self
Love is patient; love is kind.
Love doesn't boast or brag.
There's no arrogance in love;
it's never rude, crude, or indecent-it's not self absorbed.
Love isn't easily upset.
Love doesn't tally wrongs.
Love trusts, hopes, and endures no matter what.
Love will never become obsolete.
I'll fight for her.

Caleb Drake never got over his first love. Not when he got married. Not when she got married. When life suddenly comes full circle Caleb must decide how how far he is willing to go to get the aloof and alluring Olivia Kaspen back. But for every action in life there is a consequence, and soon Caleb finds out that sometimes love comes at an unbearably high price.
My Thoughts:
“ Olivia burned. When she walked into a room you could feel her fire. It rolled off of her in waves. She was angry and passionate and fearless. She burned hot enough to keep everyone away. It was a good trick, except I played with fire.”
Caleb Drake never got over Olivia. She was the reason why he is still messed up after all these years. Marrying Leah was a mistake. And when he finally got his divorce, he wants to go after his first love, Olivia. But Olivia is married to a wonderful guy named Noah.
“ My competition is good. Undoubtedly he’s never lied to her, broken her heart or married another woman to spite her. But she’s mine, and I’m not giving her up without a fight this time.”
Again, there's the Tarryn Fisher touch that I love! There's always the "arrrrrrrgh!" moment! Like you want to bite your nails ...or pull your hair out?! I was only at the beggining of the book, but I was already engulf with the strong emotions. Desperation. Yes I felt that. And Longing. Oooooooh! I wanna scream... why does it have to be this difficult for both Caleb and Olivia?!!! I was so rooting for both of them since Book 1 ( The opportunist ) ...then book 2 ( Dirty Red ) ... now reading the final installment... I wanna beg Ms. Fisher, please ....I don't think my heart can handle this?! Go easy with my fragile heart... See?! I got emotional again?!
I am more excited to read this book because , obviously it's about Caleb!! ( yipeee! Doing the somersault! ) And this book? It was CALEB SWOON-PACKED! I fell in love with him when I met him on the 1st book ( The Opportunist) ...and uhmm 2nd book ( Dirty Red) ...okay, okay... all the books! haha. But when I started reading this book? I was irrevocably, without any single doubt will give all my heart to Caleb! Yes! Yes! Caleb-obsessed <------that's ME! Fangirl to the extreme!!!
I was swooning the entire book! ( with heavier emotion this time! ) Caleb is the sweetest! And the most romantic.... and.. and.. super persistent on pursuing / going after Olivia. What he did for Olivia is so ..so.. let me think of a word...poof! there! I was lost for words! ---Unbelievable! <---- now that's the closest word!
" I'll do whatever I had to do to protect you. I'll lie, cheat and steal to make you okay. I'll share your suffering and I'll carry you when your'e weighed down. I'll never leave you, not even when you ask me to. Do you believe me? "
Awwwwwww!!!! Swooning and melting at the same time! Where can I find a man like that?????
The entire book is an extreme emotional ride for me. I was holding my breath. What's going to happen next? Will they or will they not? It's like fate is always making everything difficult for these two! Whenever everything is starting to get better... another bad news comes their way. I was Arrrrggggh! I feel that my feelings are being played here... hmmm.
And yes! there's the evil Leah making the grand entrance and dropping the "bomb"! Always be the villain up to the end! I just love when Olivia finally______ her at the end! (spoiler removed! hehe ) I was grinning ( looking more like a smirk! ) and really really wish I was there to see that look on her face! Leah, you really got what you deserved! I've imagining doing that to her ever since! Definitely one of my fave moments! Good job, Olivia! Now that's the "Snow White - Evil Queen" in you! Loved it!

I loved every bit of this book. Yes, it has heavy drama.. A lot of it that drives me crazy! But still, I just can't throw my book reader away! What have you done to me, Ms. Tarryn Fisher?! Gah!
Caleb and Olivia's relationship has stood and survived the test of time. What they have gone through was never easy...like fate played a cruel joke on them. But then, I saw Caleb's strong determination to do the impossible and try to fix the unfixable?!. ....And that, made me ...FALL. HARDER. FOR. CALEB.
If you want to experience the sweetest torture I just went through, go grab this book. I have to warn you though, this not your typical love story. Be prepared to have your heart heavily squeezed, deflate ... inflate... get drown with overwhelming emotions all at the same time.
5 over-the-top swoon-tastic stars!
Ok. I'm definitely adding this to my list. Matter of fact, I'm searching online now :)
