Java Girl's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 A Love So Tragic is unlike any book I've read before. It's a second chance love story, and trust me, Nic and Peyton belong together, but unfortunately, there's a big obstacle in the way of their HEA--Peyton's husband, Isaac. Peyton and Nic were high school/college sweethearts who broke up right after college . Peyton made some bad decisions--she was young, immature, and drunk, to boot. She ended up marrying Isaac and Nic moved away so he wouldn't have to see the two of them together. Several years later, they reconnect and begin texting, and talking, and eventually, having an affair. I don't usually condone cheating, but I honestly didn't have much of a problem with Nic and Peyton's relationship. These are two people who loved each so much and belonged together. Isaac wasn't a bad guy (although I did get a bit of a douchey vibe from him), that would have been way too easy. He just wasn't the right man for Peyton. Stevie J. Cole goes to great lengths to make it crystal clear to the reader that even Nic and Peyton don't approve of their own actions, they don't like who they've become, but they can't stay away from each other. For me, the real clincher, was all the bits and pieces of Peyton's life that Nic knew and understood, the scraps from their shared past that showed how well they knew each other; no one understood Peyton like Nic did. No one loved Peyton like Nic did. 
 The emotions in this book run deep, and a little wild. At times, I became a little frustrated with Peyton (I'm pretty sure Nic felt the same way). Her indecisiveness started to piss me off. Even though a few years had passed, she still had some growing up to do. Ultimately, the conclusion was very satisfying, and appropriately dramatic for such an emotional, heart-wrenching story. 
 A Love So Tragic definitely isn't for everyone, but I'm so glad that I took a chance on it.
