BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: All We Were (Ex-Factor #1) by Elisabeth Grace & Michelle Lynn




Will I ever stop hurting the one person who’s never hurt me?

I’ve done things I can never undo.

No matter how much I wish I could, sometimes the wounds I inflict are too deep, too catastrophic, too septic to heal.

As I look into the eyes of the only man I’ve ever loved I know I’ve gone too far. I’ve finally crossed the line.

Even if he knew my reason for doing this, he’d never forgive me.

He always puts my needs before his own.

Now it’s my turn to protect him.

None of that matters though because the betrayal and disgust in his eyes comes from deep within his soul. There’s no coming back from this.

He will forever be tormented by what he’s seen, and he will never forgive me.

The last fragment of my heart to hold out hope that we’d share a future, withers and dies.








My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.

Lilah and Jimmy have known each since they were little kids. They both had terrible childhoods and if it wasn't for Jimmy, Lilah probably would not be alive. He was all Lilah had and vice versa. At their first chance, they left home and went to Los Angeles. Jimmy became an actor and Lilah a model. And an addict.

To say that their relationship is complicated is an understatement. Jimmy wants the real thing with Lilah, but she wants them to stay in the "friends with benefits" category. Jimmy also wants her to get clean, but Lilah feels that she needs the drugs and alcohol to get by. But he has been putting up with it for a long time and he is getting increasingly frustrated by her antics and I didn't blame him.

There are plenty of sweet moments between Lilah and Jimmy, but at this stage in their life there seems to be more explosive ones than sweet. I kept waiting for the the "big thing" to happen. There was so much drama I felt that it could happen at any moment. Plus I knew this was book one of a duet and figured that it would end with some sort of bombshell, but I was not expecting the one I got. WOW. 

I am so curious as to what path this story will take in the next book. I'm already coming up with ideas in my head, but I am sure that whatever I come up with won't be nearly as good as what it will actually be.





Coming face-to-face with my past changes EVERYTHING.

I’m at the top of my game. All my struggles have finally paid off. Life should be great.

I mean, life is great.

Except for the fact that I can’t stop thinking of her. The woman who mangled my heart into a bloody pulp and never looked back.

If I could free myself of our shared memories, my future would be golden.

There’s only one way to move on—I have to confront the past, so I can move into the next chapter of my life in peace. Which means confronting her for the final time.

I had no idea that knocking on her door that day would turn my life upside down.
