Liam's List

Review Originally Posted at: Book Freak I spent my night half-laughing, half-squirming in my bed. It was my bad I read it during my bed time, I thought it would help me sleep, but this book had me so hooked I stayed up until the wee hours of the morning just to finished it. Trust me when I say, this is worth all those dark spots under your eyes. The first time I met Liam and Vivian was when I read the first book, and I really think they were perfect for each other. It didn’t matter when Liam enlisted and went to Iraq, I knew the both of them can survive the distance because their love was real. What I didn’t expect was what is going to happen in between their separation that can affect their relationship. War can change a person, and it was what happened to Liam. Things happened that made him a different person when he came home. He was aloof, he preferred alcohol, and he was so closed-off – they didn’t talk anymore. Oh, they still do it – and when they do it was pretty much explosive, but a relationship needed more than mind-blowing sex (can’t believe I’m saying this! ;)). Their relationship suffered. She didn’t know what to do at first. She was lost too. She was tiptoeing around him. Her old Liam was nowhere to be found, a stranger came home to her.  If you loved this two in the first book, wait until you read Liam’s List. Most especially Vivian, I have never seen a girl who fought to hard for a relationship. It was hard, it was daunting, it was emotionally draining for her, and what she was experiencing was not for the faint of heart. I knew there was those times when she could have easily given up and leave him – but she stayed. She stayed with him, loved him with all that she has, offered him everything that she can – and in the end, all her efforts were rewarded. She got him back. It’s not just Liam and Vivian, there were so many secondary characters who have made this story downright amazing – starting with Chelsea, the best friend – OMG. She was so freaking funny I couldn’t help the sound of laughter escaping my lips, and there’s Merrick – who is a toughie on the outside, but a softie on the inside, his letters had me in tears. Just like the main characters, they play a vital role in the lives of Liam and Vivian, and they too have their own stories to tell. Liam’s List proved that love can heal just about anything. It is love that gives the greatest strength for a relationship to survive the biggest obstacle that fate can throw at them. I love the fact that it has no cliff-hanger, and I get to creep inside both their thoughts. Liam’s List had made me laugh so hard, hurt so hard, panting so hard, and fell in love all over again with the two characters. It’s not the load that breaks you down. It’s the way you carry it.  ¿Complimentary Copy was given in exchange for an honest review.¿

First off I really should warn anyone that is reading my review of this book. Your gonna need the following items: tissues, favorite drink, comfy jammies, favorite ice cream (you are so gonna need it too cool off), DO NOT DISTURB SIGN, and of course your favorite chair. I was first introduced to Liam and Viv in the first book Vivian's List (which is awesome) there story continues in this second book that blew me away so much. Liam heads off to war in the final chapters of Vivian's List and the author surely does not miss a beat in picking up and sucking you in from page 1. I could say that this author had me from page 1 but that would not be true this author had me from her first book.  Again I felt like I was intruding on a love affair that had no beginning and surely no end. This author gives us education in the war that our men are fighting for. Our freedom and what happens when a man comes home broken. Viv is a strong woman that does not back down from turmoil she is a woman that embraces all that life has to offer her. She embraces Liam's love even though he sees himself as broken a few times in this book.  The truth is that the author gave me a sense of comfort in Liam's list. The sex is HOT HOT HOT...STEAMY too.  You really need to pick up this book as well as the first and just be entranced in all the books have to offer you.  So with all that said I am so not going to give away any of this book. I am a reader that does NOT read teasers of any kind. So take it from me get your copy of these books and enjoy them. Does Viv and Liam get there happily ever after? Hmmm want too know? I ain't telling lol Also I want to thank the author for a fantastic read. Your awesome. Oh and since I am a Navy Mom and Ex-Navy wife this book meant more than this author knows to me. Thanks again and Happy Happy Reading

LOVED IT! A GREAT ROMANCE, A TRUE LOVE STORY WITH GREAT SEX SCENES This is the continuation of Vivian and Liam's story. I knew as soon as it was ready, I had to read it!! I had planned to start this book in the morning when I got up but instead made the mistake of starting it at 11pm and then didn't put it down till I finished it. I loved it!! There is still 2 words that come to mind when I think of Vivian's List and Liam's List........HOT & STEAMY!!! Liam's list did not disappoint!! At the end of book 1 Liam is heading back to Iraq. I was worried for the both of them but knew they would be ok. What I didn't see coming was all the hell Liam would have to go through :( War will change a person and that is exactly what happened to Liam. When he comes back home he has changed and rightly so. Will Vivian be able to stay strong and stand by his side no matter how hard it may get? This book was happy, sad and at times very heartbreaking but so very true because this is what happens in real life everyday. I loved all the secondary characters. I am glad we got more on Vivian's brother Julian but I still need more on him!! I am hoping that there will be a book on him and Chelsea in the future :) If so, I hope we get more updates on Vivian and Liam!

HOT! HOT! HOT Holy Hotness Batman!!! The sex scenes were incredibly HOT and well written . . .  sooo hot and steamy it set my Kindle on fire!!! An amazing love story. Now where can I find a Liam of my own?

HOT AND STEAMY. 5 SINFULLY SEXY STARS Sexy, flirty, and fun. Sweet, hot, and romantic. You cannot help but fall in love with the characters -- Liam and Vivian. Their love is pure and deep. Excellent read and highly recommended. 5 SINFULLY SEXY STARS!!!!!!

Last year I had the privilege to read the first book in this series, Vivian's List and it was one of my favorite books of the year! It was emotional and powerful, and I was introduced to some really great characters that I absolutely fell in love with. Not only that, but I couldn't stop thinking about these character. They stayed with me long after I turned the last page. Vivian and Liam are back in this sequel and it is amazing! I didn't know what to expect with this book. I knew it was going to be about Liam and his deployment, but I had no idea how emotional and gut wrenching this book would be. I couldn't put this book down and I couldn't get this story out of my mind. Liam and Vivian grow leaps and bounds in this book. Not only does their love grow and they grow as individuals. This book really showed the toll that military deployment can take on a relationship and both people involved in the relationship. Vivian and Liam are put through hell, but we see that their love can withstand anything that gets thrown at them. I was very pleased to see that Julian has a larger roll in this book, and we got to learn a little more about him and see the dynamics of the relationship between himself and his sister. Also, I am anxious to see if there will be a third book focusing on Julian and his potential love interest. I'm not telling who that is... no spoilers! You must read to find out. Haleigh Lovell really took love, humanity, and solidarity to the brink of hell and ripped your heart out in the process. Then she used love and slammed it all back at you. I don't think I've read a book since The Fault in Our Stars that made me ugly cry as much as this one. Every word, sentence, paragraph and page is more moving than the next. I implore you to read this book, and experience the strength, angst, and love that these characters embody.

This made my heart happy! A great conclusion to a wonderful love story.

I was surprised. I was expecting a hot, steamy romance with great sex scenes (and there were plenty of those), but I got so much more. Liam's experience as a soldier suffering from PTSD is heartbreaking. Vivian is confused and hurt by the emotional distance between them after he returns from war, but she is determined to help her man and to love him through it all. This was a well-told, beautiful story of two people who love each other enough to work for their relationship.

Haleigh Lovell knows how to write a hot and sexy book. Liam and Viv make a great couple, they really know how to tear up the sheets.

A great series that's happy, sad, funny and deep. What real novels are meant to be.

This was a really good love story. The ending while good just dropped the ball all of a sudden for me. There were so many places in this story that were very emotional during Liams's time overseas fighting a war. The loss of his friends to war and the guilt solders carry after war, the sadness and despair all of this was told with care. I never knew what the folds of the flag stand for .. it is beautiful but at the same time heartbreaking. The poem Listen was amazing. I pray that everyone in this country will think about the sacrafices our miliary makes for us everyday even when they make it home some are still fighting the war. Vivian loved Liam enough to fight for him

A great story loved liam and viv made me appreciate even more all our soldiers do for us every day Freedom isnt free Great hot steamy sex too Will read this author again she made me cry!!!

Loved it! Obviously still very hot and steamy BUT also such a beautiful story of love.! ! Love military romance novels :)

I had such high expectations for the sequel to Vivian's List. Although it started out pretty intense, it sort of fizzled for me. I hate to say this but there was just too much sex as filler for this book. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the hot scenes between the characters but sometimes less is more. I did love the story line of Liam dealing with PTSD and traumatic brain injury and Vivian's support for him during his struggles. This part of the storyline was well written and a lot of research went into this. It was just the in between parts that were weak, in my opinion. Still, I would recommend this book.
