Hell Without You by Ranae Rose
$3.99 Amazon
Time changes everything, except what’s meant to be.
Seven years is a long time – long enough to transform Clementine from a small-town teenager with a broken heart into a woman ready to take on the world, but not long enough to make her forget about the man she was never supposed to see again. A temporary return to tiny Willow Heights thrusts her back into Donovan’s life and home, unearthing heartbreak and obsession that have stood the test of time.
He left seven years ago too, for war and other things Clementine can only imagine. Coming back to the town where he grew up in the shadow of poverty and drug addiction makes no sense, and neither do Clementine’s feelings for him. He could never forgive her for leaving, could he? Even if she had no choice.
Now, she has the freedom to choose … and so does he. Every day in Willow Heights makes it clearer: all he ever really wanted was her, and nothing will change that. Not even a taste of the hell that drove them apart in the first place.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book was ok. It was a sweet romance. I disliked the random tensions of a murder and what not. I felt that it really didn't add to the story. More so took away from it. Had it not been included, I would have rated this story higher. I like seeing old flames getting back together and rebuilding what they used to have. I like alpha males, but felt that Donovan was more of a demanding man, than sexy alpha. He was sweet though, when not trying to get his way. I rather enjoy seeing men actually express feelings. It wasn't a horrible story. As I stated, it was a sweet romance. There's a little bit of connecting with the characters and understanding them. I would have preferred more, but it wasn't what ruined the story for me. I hate spoiler reviews, so I won't do that. Just the thrown in suspense all neatly and easily wrapped up is what killed it for me. I suppose this is one of those stories that you will either love or hate.
