Once upon a time, I fell in love with a boy.
A beautiful, broken boy who had his own world of struggles.
People warned me against our love, but I didn’t listen.
We looked weak.
Young, foolish.
Dangerously in love.
We didn’t care.
In order to keep our hearts protected from the opinions of others, we became each other’s secret.
We shared stolen moments. Tender touches. Secretive embraces.
It was our twisted love story, and it worked for us up until our lives changed forever.
The boy I loved became Hollywood’s newest golden boy.
His career blossomed as mine stalled.
He found massive success as I discovered multiple failures.
He made something of himself, while my dreams never came true.
We moved into different realms where our pieces no longer fit together.
In the fairy tales, love conquered all.
In reality, love was the main reason empires began to fall.
I always knew Landon belonged in my story.
He was my beginning, middle, and end.
The only problem? I wasn’t certain I still belonged in his.

Review
5 “I love you times two” stars!!
“I know I probably have no right to say this, and I’ll probably kick myself for putting myself out there like this, but I have to do it. If there is ever a moment where you begin to believe in second chances,” he said, his voice low and controlled. “Please give one to me.”
Wow! What a read! The Landon & Shay Duet is complete and it is everything. Talk about an emotional second-chance romance. It rips your heart to shreds but then pieces it back together in the most complete way. Encompasses all of the feels, even days later refuses to let me go. I loved Landon and Shay’s heartbreaking yet beautifully fulfilling love story, and it is one I will relive in the years to come.
Part Two is a hard read. It picks up after Part One and it is filled with anguish. I cried for Landon and his troubles. It’s crushing to see the weight he carries on his shoulders and the darkness that consumes him. His insecurities are real and his challenges are overwhelming, and I didn’t think my heart could take all of the pain he endures.
Shay loves Landon and so the things that he experiences, she experiences too in her own way. She is flawed but relatable, and I felt her struggles. She is so strong and is there for him through it all even when he pulls her into the darkness. What she faces is agony but she knows she needs to be strong for herself and I loved her courage.
Shay and Landon are soulmates but their timing is wrong. They have their hearts broken over and over again and I almost couldn’t handle it. I mean, how much heartache can one couple go through before they can’t come back from it?
I’d spent the past years trying to delete every part of him from my entire being. But it turned out first loves were unable to fully erase from a person’s psyche. A part of Landon would always live in my heart. From his kiss alone, he unlocked that corner of my heartbeats, and then proceeded to break it all over again.
Shay and Landon need to grow individually before they can make it together and they do. Both change as the years go by and learn that they must love themselves before they can love another. Along with the pain and suffering there is hope that they would find their way back to each other. The reunion is heart wrenching and they have a long road ahead of them but I could feel the love that was still there.
I hated what they go through in the beginning both personally and as a couple, and though it crushed me, I understand why they do what they do. The second chance is that much sweeter. Their journey back to each other is intense and difficult but ultimately they share a love that is unbreakable, and I felt everything.
Our love wasn’t traditional, but it was ours.
As heavy as this book is on heartache, there are lighter moments that will make you laugh and so much love that it overpowers the darkness. I loved the relationships between Landon and Shay and the secondary characters. The close knit group of friends who grew up with Landon and Shay were wonderful. Just like in Eleanor & Grey, they are all there for one another no matter what. I have to mention that Karla is a stand out character and she really pulled at my heartstrings. I remember her in Eleanor & Grey but to see more of her and her relationship with Landon and Shay was really special. No feelings were downplayed and their unconditional support and love is everything to this bright beautiful girl. I would love to see Karla grow up and find love in her own book.
Overall, Landon & Shay: Part Two was more that I could have imagined. It gave me the happily-ever-after that Landon and Shay deserved while taking us on a rollercoaster of emotional. No matter the pain, the heartbreak is worth it to experience a true love like theirs. It’s an outstanding second-chance romance and the perfect ending to the L&S Duet. This duet easily joins my list of favorites for 2019!

Excerpt
Shay
“Oh my gosh, tell us everything.” Raine beamed as she sat across from Landon at the dining room table with her chin on her hands in amazement. “Tell me everything about being famous.”
That privacy I thought Landon and I would get?
Not going to happen with Raine living in the same place as me. She was so giddy seeing her best friend, and I couldn’t blame her. I was just as excited—even more so than her.
Landon looked so good, so grown-up.
He had facial hair that was groomed to perfection, and he smelled like sex appeal and honey. Since he’d arrived, I hadn’t allowed myself to be far from his side.
I sat in the chair next to him, and he hadn’t removed his hand from my thigh, massaging it up and down.
“I’m not famous.” Landon chuckled, giving Raine a smile. “I honestly don’t know what’s been happening to me, or why it’s been happening to me, but I feel like I’ll one day wake up and it will all be a dream.”
“You know what I hate?” Raine asked, crinkling her nose up.
“What’s that?” Landon replied.
“When really famous people claim they aren’t famous. That’s like when rich kids are like ‘Oh, I’m not rich, my parents are.’ Like, shut up, Susan. You can’t say you’re not rich while driving your Mercedes Benz wearing your Gucci shoes. That’s not how that works.”
I chuckled at my dramatic friend. “She is right, though. You are famous, Landon. The world has seen your tushy in boxer briefs. That’s the top layer of fame.”
“And what a cute little tushy-wushy it is,” Raine mocked, leaning over to pinch his cheeks. “I’m a proud big sister.”
“For the millionth time, I’m older than you, Raine,” Landon remarked.
“By age, not by maturity.” She darted her eyes back and forth between the two of us. Then her stare moved to Landon’s hand caressing my upper thigh. “Is this about to get a little PG-13? Should I leave?”
“You should probably leave,” I joked.
She nodded in agreement. “Okay, well, don’t make plans tomorrow night, Landon. We’re going to have everyone over for a reunion. Now, go do whatever it is you’re planning to do, you two lovebirds—but remember, these walls are thin, and my bedroom is right next door to Shay’s.”
I laughed. “I know, and I’m reminded of how thin the walls are every time Hank stays the night.”
She gave me a smile and a wink. “We broke the headboard the other night.”
Landon jumped in. “And I think that falls into the realm of too much information. I don’t want to think about Hank and you banging and breaking headboards. You are like a big sister to me, after all.”
Raine walked around and patted him on the back. “You’re old enough to know that your sister gets laid, Landon—at least four times a week in many different positions.”
“Raine,” Landon groaned, slapping his hand to his face. “Too much information.”
“I bet you won’t think it’s too much information when Shay breaks out some of the moves from the Kama Sutra book I gave her. Good night, kiddos.”
She hurried off, and Landon was staring at me with a highly arched eyebrow.
“What?” I asked.
“What’s this about a Kama Sutra book?” His lips curved up into a wicked grin.
I rolled my eyes. “It’s nothing. Raine is just a sex-driven girl. She said she and Hank needed to spice things up after being together so long.”
“I like spice. Spice is my favorite thing. What are some of the names of the moves in the book? What are we trying tonight?”
I felt my face heating up from the idea of it all. “None.”
He cocked an eyebrow. “Oh crap. You’ve really read this book, haven’t you?”
“What? No. Not at all.”
He smirked and pointed a finger. “You have one on the tip of your tongue. I can tell. Do share.”
“Well…” I pulled the collar of my shirt between my lips and shrugged. “There is this thing called the butterfly.”
The way his eyes smiled along with his lips made my cheeks heat even more. He rose to his feet. “Come on, let’s go. I’m going to butterfly the hell out of you.”
