What do you do when you realize you were foolish enough to throw away true, unconditional love? 

Lorraina Dabney turns her back on her creativity and tumultuous upbringing to embark on a college career that will lead her to law school and to becoming what she values most in life—a controlled, powerful, respected woman. When she stumbles upon her childhood friend's artwork, she feels inspired to reconnect with him and her former self. This onslaught of emotion will send Lorraina in a tale-spin to figure out exactly why she abandoned all that she was, all that she could've been.

Coming from his own chaotic upbringing, Michael falls quickly and deeply in love with Lorraina at a tender age. Even her rejection can't stand in the way of his obsession. When she starts to date other boys, however, Michael finally relents, causing him to spiral further into a world filled with violence, drugs, alcohol, and women. Realizing this lifestyle will only lead to his further estrangement from Lorraina, Michael sets about to turn himself around before going to get his girl. 

Michael Bang will have Lorraina questioning everything.

 

 

 

Review:

 

 
In Every Rose We meet Larraina Dabney and Michael Bang. Their's is a story of friendship, love, loss, and growth. 
 
Larraina and Michael grew up together as best friends, however every step of the way Michael was inlove with Larraina. As teenagers, Michael was always trying everything he could to be with her, however she was scared to loose his friendship so she would never give in. 
 
As Larraina moved on with her life trying to leave her past and give herself the life she thought she wanted, Michael was trying to beat his demons as well. When she returned to her home and had her eyes opened into her feeling for Michael, we watch as she learns to get over her self issues and let Michael in. We also watch as Michael, not only tries to teach her how to let go and let love in, but to live the life she was ment to have.
 
We watch as the characters grow and love and we can't help to wish for them, all the happiness together. 
 
I love how the author writes the past that they shared together into the book. It was really well done and gives you a glympse into what they where going through and why the characters did what they did, at the time they did it. You start to understand that the way it happened, was ment to be.
 
I want to say so much about this book, but I don't want to give any spoilers away. This book really hit me with every emotion and left me in just Aww. It has taken me 3 days to get to writing my review, due to this book gripped my heart so hard it didn't want to let go and I couldn't breath!
 
This book was just amazing! It touched me in a way that I don't think any book has in quite a while. I still, after 3 days can't get this book out of my head! My heart has never been on a ride like the one it was on during this book!
 
All I can say is Please read this Amazing story and make sure you have plenty of tissues at the ready. I still get tears just thinking about it!
 
I HIGHLY recommend this book and give it a 5 star rate! I want to also thank Lynetta for this story and teaching me to treasure what I have and enjoy every minute of it.
 
JUST AMAZING!!!!
