The female lead in this romance is a woman of extraordinary strength and courage. She's deeply wounded in a way that most would never recover from. Enter our hero: a man smart enough to recognize her strength and value her for who she is. But loving her will never be easy. I cried more while reading this book than I usually do. The emotion and power of this story is beautiful, encouraging, hopeful! I could not put it down until I'd finished.

A heart wrenching love story that will keep you turning the pages to see if Matt and Kathleen can find their happily every after. This book is not for the faint of heart, but worth every minute. Can't wait for book two and also book 3 to see if I, I mean Matt, can forgive Patti.

I can really appreciate a storyline in which I am unable, as a reader, to predict exactly what is going to happen next. This is far from a typical romance novel, with twists and turns that will have your jaw-dropping and your empathy muscles working as you connect with the characters and want to see them succeed. Can't wait for the next book, this one left me decidedly hoping (pun intended) for more!
