Title: Let Love Live (Love Series #5) Author: Melissa Collins Release: July 7, 2014 Find on Goodreads Synopsis Who would you become if you lost the only person who ever mattered? For twenty-six year old Dylan Hopkins, the answer is easy. He’s become no one. Memories of the happier times are all he has left as he finds himself meandering numbly through his now dull life. Though he cares about his work and family dearly, he’s yet to let himself find love again. Afraid of letting go of what he once had, Dylan chooses to keep his heart buried, where it belongs, having died a long time ago. Conner Michelson is about to change everything Dylan knows. He’s every bit the bad boy persona - tatted up, ex-MMA fighter, but after an injury leaves him unable to fight, he has to rethink his goals. Having just opened his own gym, Conner can cross his first major life accomplishment off his very short list. Next up: find a man he can settle down with and build a family. Seems simple enough - a dream most people have, but when he meets Dylan, his carefree, easy-going life is thrown into a tailspin. Determined to keep Dylan in his life, Conner vows to resurrect Dylan's long ago buried heart and let love live once more. |

Review
Let Love Live is the fifth book in Melissa Collins’ Love series and it seriously is the best one. The book is broke into 3 parts. Part 1 fills in so many blanks from the other books. And it is also one of the saddest things I’ve read in a long time. Part 2 and part 3 bring on so much happiness. And the epilogue is PERFECT!
Part 1 is the story of Dylan and Shane. You learned a lot about Shane in the previous books but this is his story from his point of view. It’s about Shane and Dylan’s love story. And learning who they were. Even though it is incredibly sad, it is a truly loving story. I really want to tell you more, but it will ruin the series. Truly ruin it. If you’ve read the series, I will tell you that questions will be answered. You will learn all about Shane and his feelings. It fills in so many blanks.
Part 2 is Dylan and Collin’s love story. It’s about Dylan healing and finding peace and the ability to move on. It’s about 2 men who have had an incredible rough life, coming together and healing together. And learning to love again. Yes, they have their ups and downs. But deep down, it was love at first sight. They might not admit that but reading their story, you can feel their connection from their first meeting. It was pure and immediate. It was natural. And it is beautiful.
Part 3 is their forever. Their declaration of love. Their future.
And the epilogue. THE EPILOGUE! It brings it all together. And it is the perfect end to their book.
But, BUT! I can’t wait to read more of this series. It is a great series. And this book makes it so much better. This book is perfect. I don’t have a single complaint about it. Except, maybe that I want more.

Author Info
Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream. Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born. |
