 It really should not surprise anyone who knows anything about Kristen Ashley that she has once again penned a beautiful yet edgy sexy love story, and introduced us to even more characters that will forever have a place in my heart. I'm just so blown away that after writing 11 different series each book is unique and original and stands strong on its own. 
 Jake and Josie share a story that is like nothing I have read before. It begins at her grandmother's funeral followed by the reading of her will. What Josie finds out will forever change the course of her very busy structured life. She has some past demons she has hidden very deep inside and is hiding behind a very well camouflaged disguise. Not many people ever get to see or know the real Josie. 
 Jake is a fighter. If he's not fighting in the ring, he's fighting to make sure his kids have a secure future and he continually fights with his ex about her selfish decisions. Once he meets Josie in person he begins the hardest fight of his life. He must find a way to show her they have an unbreakable connection and let her see how good they can be together, if only they can dig out from the past and let go. 
 I will admit Josie was not my favorite character at first. It's not that I didn't like her, she was just harsh, judgmental and cold. Once you keep reading you begin to find out more and more about why she is the way she is and it makes complete sense. Jake is every girls idea of a perfect book boyfriend. He is just the total package. He's caring, gentle and understanding when he needs to be, but can be a hot sexy badass alpha when it's called for. Above all his amazing qualities I loved his relationship with his kids. They mean everything to him and he considers them in every decision he makes. 
 The children play a huge part in this story. They really help bring these two worlds together. The older ones bring all the teenage drama and then Ethan just delivers a heart wrenching craving for a mother to be in his life and just love him and nature him. The combination of the characters and their own individual plots is spun around an epic romance that leaves you breathless at times, crying at times and completely satisfied all the time. 
 The Will takes you on a journey of bitter past memories, new relationships, personal growth, acceptance, forgiveness, one feisty protective mamma bear in attack mode, and heartwarming promises of forever love. I can't wait to see what this fantastic series has in store for us in the future.
