Such a story

An interesting topic. Domestic violence never easy to discuss let alone PTSD of a survivor of that experience. I thought it covered the subject matter well. I enjoyed the softness and patience of the pursuer of the relationship and how it eventually paid off and a wonderful ending.

Exceptional

This story is beautifully exceptional. I hesitated on listening to this book and after I listened to it have no idea why. The Narrator did a wonderful job!

Wonderful listening experience

Both women, Tess and Lara, were very well written, in both the book and the audio book. The audio book was exactly like the written book and kept to the storyline which made it very enjoyable to read. The characters were both entertaining. The drama was light and the humor was kept to a minimum but was also well placed in the story. A bit of jealousy added to the storyline was inspiring to the reader and made for a bit of a dramatic addition to Lara’s personality. Overall a really enjoyable listening experience provided by the author .

Love vs grief.

While this story can be a little frustrating at times, like “open your eyes girl!”, it is a well constructed tale of how long it takes true love to combat an abusive relationship.
In the end, it was worth it 😉.
Be patient and I think you will agree.

Emotional and Loving

Another beautiful Harper Bliss book. Well written and deeply emotional yet adding a touch of humor to round out the serious nature. Charlotte North delivers a wonderful performance that brings each character to life and makes the scenes pop with emotion. Well done and worth the read.
