First off, The Syrian Virgin had a profound impact on me and was incredibly touching. Book 2 was no different. Actually, I think I had stronger feelings in this one. Perhaps because I knew the characters and felt a stronger connection to them. In any case, Mr. Love had me going on a roller coaster ride of emotions. And not just going from one extreme to another but feeling incredibly intense emotions. I felt pain, sadness, joy, hope and anger.

Now in the last book, Anissa is still very torn about which of the two men in her life she will choose. Michael or Julien. She does however agree to go on another date with Julien. And it is here that the reader gets to experience and learn more about him. He is very drawn to Anissa. Julien is captivated by her and feels incredibly close to her. Something that hasn't happened to him before with another woman. Anissa and Julien make for the most adorable and sweet couple. They are so playful and fun together.

Of course Anissa still hasn't told Julien the truth about her past and she wonders how she will do it. The road isn't always smooth sailing but there are some wonderful and beautiful moments and naughtiness too. But Anissa still has trouble trusting and discovers some painful truths. She turns to Michael and tell hims that it might be over with Julien. And if that isn't hard enough, Anissa gets news of her family! But it seems that Anissa and Julien reunite! And finally Julien decides to trust Anissa with the truth of his past, something that no one, not even his therapist, knows about.

The writing is phenomenal. There are so many fantastic quotes in the story that touch your heart, make you think or have you giggling. Mr. Love has an incredible talent of capturing a moment and ensuring that the reader experiences that emotion. His characters are incredible. Anissa is such a strong and determined woman. Despite all the heartache, pain and trials she has faced, she has a wonderful positive attitude towards life. The story is rich with inter-textual references and I have many more texts to read because of Mr. Love. I certainly went through the ringer with this book. Each emotion was ten times stronger and I moved between them quickly. It is a credit to his writing that I felt so strongly about the story and the characters. He has a unique way of taking on a current and sensitive issue and crafting a special story that touches your soul. Truly, a remarkable series and a memorable story.

So now I leave you with my favourite line: "In a dark world, love is all that illuminates the path forward."
