Aleena Moore is haunted by Jared Holt. It's been six years since she's seen her brother's best friend, the self-destructive bad boy she secretly loved in high school. As the years pass, she knows it's time to move on. Time to decide between a practical nursing degree and her true dream as an artist. Time to get over Jared and give another guy a chance…Just when she opens her heart to her friend, Gabe, Aly returns home to find Jared sleeping on her couch. The teenage boy she loved has grown into a man she can't resist. Covered in tattoos and lost in rage, he's begging to be saved from his demons - the memories of the day he destroyed his family. As the two reconnect, their passion is hot enough to torch Aly's judgment. But can she risk her future for a man who lives on the edge of destruction?

What did you like best about this story?

I like Aly's relationship with Jared when they were growing up. How she always loves him, even when she was young.

Any additional comments?

The concept of this story is not something new but it was beautifully written. This story is about second chance. I could feel Jared's guilt and heartache. I was so sad for his lost but also how he blamed himself. I could feel the chemistry and love between Jared and Aly. I thought the relationship they had growing up was very special. Made me wish that I have someone like Jared growing up; someone who always be there for me and stood up for me.

I look forward to the next book. I hope that Jared learns to let go of the past and guilt.

Beautifully written story

Jared, Aly and her brother, Chris grew up together. Their families were extremely close until an unfortunate accident involving Jared and his mom.
Then everything changed. Jared lived with guilt believing he didn’t deserve to live. Aly and Jared always had a pull towards each other since they were young. It’s a good story with so many different emotions, loss of a parent, heartbreak, pain, guilt, tears, depression, drugs and suffering. The story is similar to real life. Narrators did a good job capturing the author’s thoughts. HFN

Very Emotional

This was such an emotionally devastating romance. Jared had so much hurt & grief in his heart, this was his story of his struggle to find peace & forgive himself.
Ally was always his, he just didn’t know it.
Watching Ally love him through his pain & love him enough for the both of them was emotional. Jared’s grief and self loathing was so intense & real.

Brutally Beautiful

This was a really angst packed story. The hero is full of self hate because of an accident when he was 16. The heroine has loved him since she was a little girl and he's been gone for years, without anyone knowing where he was. He comes back and they are instantly attracted to each other, though he fights loving her because he feels he doesn't deserve to be happy. Good ending and great narration!

Beautiful story but it tears at my heart. This book is definitely worth reader’s time. So many feels, a beautiful book about second chance at love and the power of forgiveness.

Heartbreakingly beautiful.

I honestly don’t know how she does it, but so far, she has hit the mark every time. Some of her stories are consistent in themes (the female lead often seems to be pregnant by the end of it, and the male leads are always running from something in their past that is usually dark but real life situations), but the way she weaves it all into these stories is just incredible. Jackson usually always gets me with one detail at the end that I didn’t see coming and this story was no different. Narration was good. I liked the male narrator better than the female; something about her narration voice in everything I’ve listened to with her narrating bothers me, but she does well on the dialogue for each different character.

Loved it

I really enjoyed this love story! Found myself not being able to put it down! looking forward to the second book. It does run on in places, but other than that, I loved it.

GREAT Book!!!

Still not quite sure how I feel about this book. It had a lot of potential with some really emotional and touching moments. It didn't quite get there for me. Jared is a seriously tortured character and I think it took too long for me to understand what his exact issue was. I'm not sure if maybe I zoned out because it was hard to keep up with the back and forth between past and present. At the end, my heart broke for him. He is well and truly damaged and no one even tried to help him as he spiraled.

I guess I liked Aly. I didn't dislike her and I liked that she never judged Jared by anything in his past. She reached out to him with open arms and understanding. I liked their history together of her always tagging along with her brother and Jared. He was always looking out for her. I thoroughly enjoyed their connection.

I really liked Tanya Eby as Aly. Todd Haberkorn has this great deep voice that truly spoke like Jared with how tortured is character is. It was a very enjoyable listen.

This book by A.L. Jackson was absolutely the best. I could understand the feelings and see myself in the situation. It blew me away!
