 4 Surprising Stars 
 Amelia(Milly)had the worst childhood a kid could experience; her parents gave a rats ass about her and wished they had gotten an abortion. Suffering from the lack of love and through the abuse of her parents within a young age of only 5, Milly's life truly sucked. If all this wasn't bad enough, her parents just took one of the other day off and left 5yr old Milly back, alone in this infested trailer they called home. Luckily, one person cared about her, her grandpa. He took her in and tried to give her the love she deserved and needed. 
 To top her oh so great life off, she got married to a total Bastard. Yes, he deserves this name because all he did was working and cheating on her, therefore he doesn't need his name to be told. The only light on the end of the tunnel during her marriage was her mother in law Francis. It was literally love of the first sight. Sadly, Francis passed away but not without to leave a good chunk of money for her precious Milly, and nothing for her Bastard of son! Oh yeah, you think right, she got divorced right after Francis died, smart girl! 
 Being millions richer, Milly wrote herself a bucket list and took off to fulfill her list. Her first and last stop is Colorado where she opened her very own store 'The Shop' and found her "soul sista from another mista", Lacey. When she thought all hope in love was lost, the extremly handsome and loveable Cree entered her life. Milly is head over heels for him but Cree isn't alone, he has the sweetest daughter ever -Annie. Can those two help Milly to forget her past, open her heart again and to let go of her demons? 
 It's a long road but neither Cree or Milly gave up on each other; it was definitely worth to let go of her horrible past. It was such a sweet love story and Cree is the perfect father, boyfriend and husband- not to forget he's very handsome!! They are each others their Now & Forever . 
 It took me very long to totally connect with this book, not because of the story itself but because of Bellus' different writing style.I've not read a book in this writing style before and it was a bit confusing for me at first. The turn came mid-way when I felt totally comfortable with Ms Bellus' writing style and it was definitely worth to keep reading. The second half of her book is intense and hooked me completely :) 
 Her story story made me laugh, cry, and anxious. It saddenend me but also gave me hope and faith in true love. I couldn't have asked for a better ending as the one Ms Bellus wrote. It was an awe-inspiring story, and a great debut novel. Milly couldn't have asked for a better man than Cree.
