Can Ella open her heart, knowing she may never truly find her happy ending?

Review

Marcus and Ella have two chance encounters years before they finally meet in the ER. Marcus is divorced and still dealing with his ex-wife. Ella is a single mother to Tyler. Tyler's father isn't in the picture.

From the beginning Ella is hones with Marcus and explains she has CMT, Charot Marie Tooth, a form of Muscular Dystrophy. She's has difficulty walking and sometimes falls because of her weak muscles. She also cannot have children. She made the decision after having her son and was told if she had another baby should more than likely wouldn't make it.

Marcus admits to Ella that he loves her but after she explained she can't have babies he takes a step back. More like a two week break. Marcus decides he loves Ella very much and would make it work. She takes him back however she leaves again when she find out that Marcus the lead singer of a rock band, Blackout. He's been keeping a huge secret from her and now it's effecting her son. He convinces her to move in with him to escape the media.  Their relationship continues to grow until Ella receives and e-mail with devastating photos. Ella ends their relationship but Marcus continues his friendship with Tyler. After a year they get back together. Soon they are engaged and both set of parents are unhappy about the pending nuptials. Although Marcus's parents continue to try and ruin the wedding, they are happily married. Time moves quickly and Ella's condition progresses. This is where I'll leave you to finish the story.

'Ella's Love' is an endearing story. Ella is a single mom looking for a man who can accept her decision not to have anymore children. She's very careful not to throw her heart out to quickly, she has not only herself to think about but also her son. Although Ella and Marcus's relationship was rocky at first, Marcus's loyalty to Tyler brought them together. I don't want to spoil the ending but I will say the ending is powerful. Thank you Jasmine Lee for sharing Ella's story and I wish you strength, love and happiness.
