I swear A cell I just never disappoint me, I was crying, laughing, ready to kill and mentally drained from one book. I loved every word written and could not say enough in telling anyone who questions whether to buy this book or not. Put your buying finger to work and get to reading. Now off to reread this gem and get myself under control for this emotional ride.

Joy, Joy
I felt so much joy I haven’t seen anything written by you in a while. I was so happen to see this and that you had 2 stories in Kindle Vella. Have those as well, can I be honest you’re one of my top authors that I will drop any other story I’m reading just to read yours. This story had me so emotional, I loved 🥰 it, the love that was showed through Franco and his sister Elisabeth. Then the love that Amara & her sister Deshay wow, there some much to say. Coming through for family like that is deep love.
Also over the last week of September I decided to re-read all my stories of yours that I have in my collection. I came across one that I had not actually read which surprised me, it was a cliffhanger. The year this story came out I hated cliffhangers not because of your stories a different author. So I never read it, I said I would read it when part 2 comes out. Unfortunately it never did what happen to part 2 Through Thick & Thin. That is a really great story I would love to know how it ends.
You are an awesome writer Ancelli, respect ✊🏾.

Beautiful
Amara and Franco’s story is heartbreaking and beautiful. One where the characters feel real and you wonder about how there doing…like they are real people. That is the best type of story. It makes you question all the stories about billionaires, mafiosos, and alphas…there is usually no love in those stories, only sex. But this, as heartbreaking and tragic the storyline is, the love story is amazing. So many twist and turns, I could not put down this book, and was sad when the ride was over. Great job Ms. Ancelli.

Book Of Secrets
OMG, there was so many twist and turns in this book. As one hidden secret is revealed another Pandora's box is waiting to open. Love the couple loyalty to their siblings. Deshay, when through so much as well as Ellie, I'm glad Amara and Franco find love again and Amara, stuck it with Franco and in the end love won. I would love a continuation book with Luke story.

Welcome Back!!!
I was so happy to read this new novel by one of my favorite authors. I have read all of her books except 1. This book was just as excellent as the others in its ability to get me totally invested in these characters and the stories of their lives. Amazing job as usual.
I highly recommend this book for your reading pleasure! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥Ms. Ancelli...thank you very much for foregoing the cliffhanger concept. Not a fan of those AT ALL. 😔

True Love
Oh my goodness. This story took me through many emotions. Anger, sadness, empathy, and happiness. Leanore Elliott, Ancelli, the truths and heart breaks in this story were told with grace, poise,and dignity. Thank you for telling Ellie’s & Franco’s truth. People tend to forget that tragedy affects the rescuer as well as the victim.

Loved it
I enjoyed reading Franco and Amara's story. Despite their parents' disappointment, Amara honored her sister's request and formed a neighborly friendship with Franco. As they face obstacles together, they realize they have more in common than they thought.

When they love, they love deeply!
Both Amara and Franco sacrificed and gave pieces of themselves for the happiness of their siblings. Franco felt guilty for not knowing what his sister Ellie was going through as a young girl. He blamed himself for not protecting her. Her abuse not only affected her but deeply affected Franco as well. Amara's sister Deshay, distanced herself from her parent who did not accept the choices she made in her life. Both she and Franco's sister Ellie found an all-encompassing love for each other. They were happy and only had one thing missing in their marriage, a baby. She could not turn down her sister's request to be the surrogate. Her sister had already saved her life once and she would do anything for her big sister.
But as the best-laid plans of mice and men, God had other plans and the plot of this story continued to take some interesting twists. I wanted to strangle both Amara's mother Margo and her ex Scott. They were both two selfish people who wanted what they wanted. There were too many secrets that they were keeping. Is a lie of omission still a lie? They all had to be open and communicate with each other, especially Franco and Amara.
This story was well-plotted with little tidbits revealed along the way. I almost lost it when Amara's father Joe told Ellie they all had her back, and that she was not alone. This story showed how abuse radiates out and affects not only the victim but the family as well. Franco did not think that he deserved a woman like Amara. He needed closure just as much as his sister. when he finally realized that he, deserved to be happy too, he and Amara could finally seal the deal and were ready for their HEA.
