Scars mar his body. Pain has darkened his life…
Three years ago, I lost the two things I cherished most in the world. They were ripped from my arms in the most painful and cruel way. Since then, I’ve kept to myself, preferring to stay away from the pitying looks and the uttered rumors. Everything changed when she and
her children barged into my life. It was an accident, not meant to happen, but I wonder if maybe it was.
her children barged into my life. It was an accident, not meant to happen, but I wonder if maybe it was.
A tortured soul meets a damaged heart…
A lonely man, a widowed woman, a carefree boy, and a broken girl… Can the four come together and help heal each other? Or will fear of the unknown and guilt of the past keep them apart?
This was a heart wrenching, soul searching kind of book that
drags you into its emotional depths from the very beginning.
Alexander is living with the guilt and despair from the past
so much so that he is just surviving. He is a loner who lives by himself with his
horses to look after and his beloved dog and her pups. Other than that he has
little time or want to interact with the outside world. He copes with his outside
scars by refusing to see them but whenever he catches himself in the mirror he
gets flash backs to that fateful evening when he lost his world, that reminds
him of his inner deepened scars that he knows he will never recover from. But
then fate steps in and a young mother and her two children take shelter at his
home from a snow storm and things will never be the same again for all of them.
Gwendolyn (Gwen) is a young widow, trying her best to bring
up her young son and daughter on her own. Her daughter, Kelsey has been mute
since the day her father died and all Gwen longs to hear again is the beautiful
voice of her child. When she gets stranded in a snow storm she is shocked to see
the loner man she saw once in the grocery store, come to their rescue. Over the
few days they are thrown together Gwen can see the deep hurt this man is going
through and little by little she and her children start to chip away that pain
and bring a new hope to the future. However when two people have gone through
the ultimate pain, it takes a considerable length of time and effort before
they can even bridge that gap that divides them.
This is a standalone romance about second chances, that is
so enriched in it story that the emotive states I was taken to went from desperate
lows to the extreme highs. Tissues are required but after all the angst, drama
and despair this pair went through it was a supreme joy when they found their
happy ever after.
This book was so emotive, heart-warming and dramatic but it
gave me so much more that the only criticism I have at all is that it had to
end. I wanted it to go on and on. A massive five star read that I urge you to
read and devour. Marvellous read. Five trillion stars.
