"For thousands of nights I dreamed of making love to you. No man on earth has ever hated sunrise as much as I do." 
 I would give this 10+ stars if I could, because Again the Magic is one of the best romance stories I've ever read. 
 What made this so impressive was the fact that almost all the characters were so beautifully written and well-developed. They were so alive. Even the secondary characters had depth. They weren't simply there to support McKenna and Aline, but they also had a lot to offer. 
 I appreciated Livia's forthright and no-bullshit attitude. She knew what she wanted out of her relationship with Gideon, and she told him so. And while I did not find Gideon to be as interesting as others claimed, I liked his good nature. There's no doubt in my mind that Livia was perfect for him; he needed her to finally get the strength to face his own demons. And when he finally did, I couldn't help but give a small victory dance. 
 Livia and Gideon's honest and open relationship was a good contrast to McKenna and Aline's romance, which was filled with secrets. McKenna's definitely one of the best heroes out there. His love for Aline had all but consumed his soul, and losing her had left him hollow. Yes, he was intense, dark, selfish and bitter. 
 But he loved Aline more than anything in the world 
 . He loved her the way a man should love a woman. 
 As for Aline, I have to admit that I found her hard to like. My knee-jerk reaction to her was to throttle her. I wanted to slap her senseless when she still refused to admit the truth to McKenna, even after he bared his heart and soul to her. But after thinking about what she's gone through (view spoiler)[(her legs were disfigured because of a fire) (hide spoiler)]and taking into account the social realities during that time, I think that she was justified in her actions. It's easy to label her as stupid, but if you really consider it, living with that kind of a burden in that type of a society would have severely damaged your self-esteem. It would have forced you to do the same thing. 
 And that's why I can't hate Aline. On the contrary, I've grown to like her because she clearly sacrificed a lot for McKenna as well. And she deserves to be happy with him. 
 Overall, this was an amazing read. I highly recommend it to fans of the Wallflower series out there. This will make you appreciate Marcus' character more, I'll tell you. He was adorable here.
