{Review} Wicked Heart by Leisa Rayven (@LeisaRayven @SMPRomance)

The one guy she can’t have is the one she can’t forget.
 
Liam Quinn is one of the biggest movie stars in the world…and the only man Elissa Holt has ever truly loved.
 
After being out of her life for six years, he and his gorgeous fiancé are set to star in the new Broadway show Elissa is stage managing. The only trouble is, when late night rehearsals bring Elissa and Liam together, the line between what is and what could have been gets blurred. Now one moment of weakness is about to create a scandal that will echo around the world.
 
Elissa knows that falling for Liam again would be a tragedy in the making, but as any good romantic knows, love doesn’t always follow the script.

​Once upon a time, Elissa Holt played the game of love and lost big time.  There’s no way that she’s going to risk her heart again – especially for someone like Liam Quinn.
 
When Liam left her behind for the bright lights of Hollywood, she knew that he would become the biggest star in the world.  But she never would have guessed that after all of these years that seeing him again could still hurt so much.

Even after all this time, I hate how he played me.  And I still wonder why he did it.  To prove he could?  To make sure I had both feet firmly on the rug before he pulled it out from under me?
​
Whatever the reason, what’s done is done.  I can’t go back and change things.  But I can make sure Liam Quinn never gets the chance to fool me again.

​Liam Quinn is set to make his triumphant return to Broadway and it’s made all the sweeter by working once again with the girl that has haunted his dreams for so long. But Liam isn’t alone.  He’s now half of Hollywood’s hottest couple and his gorgeous fiancé just also happens to be his costar.
 
But the chemistry between Liam and Elissa could still power all of the lights in Manhattan and he’ll do anything to win her back.  Even if it means turning his back on fame and fortune.
 
In show business, not all that glitters is gold and maybe true love never dies.

“I need to kiss you,” he says, his voice almost a groan. “Please, Liss.”

“Liam, you know why you can’t.”

“Let’s pretend for a moment that Angel doesn’t exist and I can. Pretend I didn’t go to Hollywood.  That I stayed here and made a life with you.  One where I could make love to you every day.  See you whenever I liked.  One where I didn’t ache like a part of me is dying whenever I’m not with you.”

Wicked Heart is the perfect combination of angst and uncontrollable passion!  Leisa Rayven then brings these two elements together with her signature razor sharp wit and laugh-out-loud banter to make this book an experience that you’ll not soon forget.
 
The characters are real and so full of emotion. And I have to say that Elissa is my favourite Rayven heroine to date!  Not only is she strong and beautifully vulnerable at the same time, I happen to share her illicit love of cheese.  Nothing could be better than that…
