Perfection. One word. Three syllables. Every reason why I'll never have the one thing I truly want. I stand dutifully on the pedestal he's built, waiting for the day he truly sees me. Then one amazing night, he lets down his walls, only to leave me the next day. Years have passed, and I've tried to move on with my life. But I still dream of him. I still miss him everyday. The memories haunt me. How can I look to the future when my past remains a mystery? The time has come to find the boy who stole my heart and ran away without a word. But not everyone who is lost wants to be found. My name is Alexandra Fontaine, and this is my story of unfinished love. Wings Over Poppies is book #2 in the Over series and can be read as a standalone novel. **Warning** This is a new adult romance. It is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

One word for this book, heartfelt!! I simply could not wait for Alex's story after reading Hope Over Fear, the first book in the Over Series. I wanted to know what, or should I say who had this woman so heartbroken. Enter West Adler.

Alex and West meet each other a couple of months before she leaves for college. They start off as friends but, it slowly becomes more. Right before she leaves, she learns some unexpected news about West and his plans for the future. He promises her that he will keep in touch and he will never forget her. 

Six years later, not one word from West. Alex assumes the worst but, she desperately tries to find him or some information on his whereabouts. Then one day she gets her answer. It's definitely not what she had assumed but, it gives her some relief.

Now having a second chance, Alex tries to get through to West but, the more she pushes him, the more he pushes her away from him. It's a fight they both will have to fight but, Alex finds herself fighting for the both of them. 

J.A. DeRouen's books are always so well written. I love how she ties one book to the next always filling in the blanks. What I love most, is the way she makes the secondary characters seem just as important as the main. West is a character you will find yourself loving and wanting to jump in the book and hug him. I admire Alex and her fight to get through to West. What he is struggling with is not an easy thing to deal with. Many people suffer through it everyday, and this story gives you a glimpse into how heartbreaking it is. WOP is definitely one of those reads that will leave you in an emotional hangover.
