Book Talk Review; When You Were Mine
Because I can't stay away, this Book Talk in on Elizabeth Reyes' When You Were Mine
When her head was screaming “enough,” her hopeful heart continued to whisper “wait.”
It's the only way Valerie Zuniga can justify her ongoing addiction to the amazing but ever, elusive Alex Moreno. Mesmerized by the profound connection neither has ever quite understood, Valerie accepts their crazy relationship for what it is—non-exclusive.
That is until the incredible highs no longer numb the sting of the intense lows.
As tasteless and slippery as pride can be, for Alex it's always been the hardest pill to swallow.
Faced with a final ultimatum, the choice is a no-brainer for Alex. Despite his insanely busy life he's determined to prove to Valerie, that not only is he ready to commit, it's what he's always wanted—to claim Valerie as his exclusively.
But just as it kept him from admitting his real feelings all those years, will his obstinate pride once again step in and ruin things just when they're finally getting it right?

The story we all wanted is finally here for us to devour. Elizabeth gave us the story of Alex and Valerie a year after they painfully parted ways. But we never really knew anything about their up and down relationship.
Until she told us.
It's no secret to y'all that I am in love with the Moreno's, not just the hot alpha guys, but the kick-ass girls too. And I loved this book just as I loved every single other Moreno book.
But in a different way.
We get the college experience and how Alex and Valerie's relationship progressed from intense hot sex to deep and loving relationship. It's no secret that they've loved each other for a long time, even if neither one of them was willing to admit it.
But they get close, and they get sucked into the what could be.
Alex as we all knew hid his failing grades and struggles from everybody, especially from Valerie. While she was rising up to get her real estate license, he was barely managing to get his work done and to the effect that it would save his grade.
When Alex wants to go exclusive that is the reassurance that Valerie needs, to know that this may be serious after all.
But the mounting concerns are still there. And the conclusion that we all know so well is there as well.
Even though I knew what was going to happen at the end, it didn't prepare me for it. I cried so many tears, because I know what happens in Always Been Mine. Because reading everything that lead up to that crushing scene hurt my heart, even the sweet moments.
I love Elizabeth and I'm impatiently waiting for her next fabulous book to come out.
