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 by Gia:
I'm a big fan of Melissa Collins and the Love series. Let Love Live is book five in the Love series. I am not a huge fan of M/M books. So, what happens when one of your favorite authors write a type of book that you aren't a huge fan of? Of course you read it and hope for the best. I was definitely pleasantly surprised by Let Love Live. It was a great read! I was hooked by the end of the first chapter.
The first half of the book is back in the past. It deals with Dylan coming to terms that he is gay and his and Shane's relationship. Dylan and Shane are young and have a lot to overcome with their relationship. I loved reading about Dylan and Shane. They had a great friendship that blossomed into a romantic relationship. Their relationship ends in a heart wrenching way.
The second half of the book is in the present time. This part of the book deals with the past and finding a way to move forward.
Dylan is a complicated guy. He has a lot of stuff happen in his past and he kind of is just moving through life. That changes when he meets Conner. Conner is an ex MMA fighter. He also has his own bumpy past and issues to deal with. Conner and Dylan start dating. I loved Conner's three dates rule. Their relationship isn't easy but it makes for a great read.
This is a great read. It doesn't matter that it's a M/M book, it more about moving forward from the past and finding love. Let Love Live is definitely a must read!
5 Amazeballs Stars!!
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.
