He was seven. She was four. Neighbors and best friends. He was her protector. She was his reason. Each had their battles but they fought them together. He had a plan. She wasn’t aware.
She was seventeen. He was twenty. Tragedy strikes and their life is derailed. She leaves to heal and fulfill a dream to dance on stage. He is left behind and forgets how to live.
He stops searching. She begins looking. Can they ever set one another free, or does fate have something else in store for them?
Brisé by Leigh Ann Lunsford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Highly emotional and soul wrenching.
This being a first for me from Leigh Ann Lungsford, I'm thankful it was Brisè. In this story she shares with us an epic and unforgettable love between Lucas Nichols and Phoebe Wells.
What can I say about Lucas??? Oh goodness. Never have I come across a story where the love "he" feels for "her" is so strong, pure and all consuming. At the age of 7, he's told to look after 4 year old Phoebe and from that point on, a friendship grows and strengthens throughout the years. His plan for building a future with Phoebe was admirable and inspiring. His love and devotion for her was so palpable, I felt jealous at times.
Phoebe was a strong character in her own right. Her love for Lucas rivaled his love for her. They truly had a connection so intense that it was apparent they were not just soulmates but of the same soul. That's how interconnected they are.
With all that being said, it wasn't all roses for them. A reoccurring illness threatens to take it all away. Stubbornness and misguided intentions pull them apart. It broke my heart to feel their pain. I haven't cried so much in ages but this book tears streaming down my face...more than once.
Leigh Ann Lunsford has a new fan in me and I look forward to reading much much more.

Leigh Ann Lunsford is stay at home mom turned author. She writes Romance/New Adult and loves her happily ever after in all books and movies. She lives with her husband, son, and four dogs in Fleming Island, Florida. When she isn’t writing or reading you can find her stuck in front of really bad reality shows or watching Sons of Anarchy. Leigh Ann has a filthy mouth and a huge amount of sarcasm that knows no end. She hopes to give the voices in her head an outlet with many more novels to come.
