Publisher's summary

When orthopedic surgeon Harriet “Harry” Basantes is called to the ER to assess a patient who has been assaulted by her husband, she’s instantly thrust back 16 years to the day her childhood sweetheart, Desi Thompson, walked away and disappeared without a trace.

Desi’s always done the right thing, including marrying the man her father insisted was a better match than Harry. But when she ends up in the ER after an argument gone wrong, she can’t help wondering if the right thing is worth the cost.

Harry refuses to let Desi return to an unsafe home, even if that means putting aside her own broken heart. With love on the line, can they give each other one more chance?

*Content advisory: This book contains graphic instances of domestic violence.*

More unforgettable characters by Ali Vali!

This book is based on Ali Vali's online fan fiction titled How Do You Mend A Broken Heart. It has been reworked but the characters of Desi, Harry, Mona, Rachel, and Albert are truly so well written, I feel as if they are old friends. The subject matter is domestic violence and the aftermath is described in detail but Ali brings us to the Happily Ever After we want. If you are looking for a heartwarming story, give this one a try.

Amazing narrated and story.

This is really amazingly done all the way. Lori Prince really did her absolute best at this book. You could really feel every emotion Desi and Harry felt in every scene. It really came to life. It’s a very hard subject and Ali Vali really did an amazing job with this book. It’s really a good book and it will hit every emotion in you as well. I must say Lori really did amazingly with this. Love it!

A Great Listen!

First time listening to this author and it was a treat.

Narration and Storytelling hit this one outta the park! I was drawn into the drama from the start. I wouldn't mind a side story with Serena and Rachel (unless there is one and I don't know it.)

Too good to put down for a second

Very excellent book. Although it’s hard for me to listen to these kind of stories where domestic violence is involved this book had me in tears and laughing a min later.
I recommend this story snd god I love Lori Princes voice fell in love with her voice.

Beautiful story and amazing narration!!

I first have to say that Lori Prince is now my favorite narrator. She brought all the characters to life! I loved the emotion she puts into the story. I shed tears, laughed out loud and the sex scenes were hot!! I have listened to several books she has narrated recently and have always loved her voice but this story put her at the top of my list! Now on to the book 😀. Ali Vali blew me away with this book! I fell in love with Desi and Harry! Desi went through hell. However, I came to see her as a survivor. Domestic Violence is a hard topic and Ali did a great job with how she handled it. Harry was absolutely adorable! She feels so deeply. She may be sweet and adorable but I pity the person who mess with people she loves! I read a similar version of this story several years in her Fanfic site and was impressed with the changes she made. I loved this book so much ( and just about anything that Ali writes) that I own the paper back, the kindle version and the audiobook!! I plan on re-reading and definitely re-listening to this book many times 😀. I will look forward to the sequel book/audiobook. By the way, if Ali Vali ever puts all the Cain Casey books on audio, my vote is for Lori Prince to narrate them, please, please 😊

Great story!!

Wow, second-chance romance with a heavy twist. This was a great story with quite a bit of suspense. Domestic violence is a major theme in this book so be prepared for some emotional weight. The romance portion of this book was truly beautiful. Harry (Harriet) and Desi had a love story that began when they were teenagers but were torn apart after high school graduation. They meet again when Harry is the surgeon on-call when a brutally beaten Desi is brought into the ER. We get to see their path of rediscovering what they lost while trying to keep Desi safe from the people that want to hurt her again. The audiobook is narrated by Lori Prince so you know it’s done perfectly.
