I can't believe I haven't told you all about this book yet. I'm struggling to get near my laptop these days as the baby is keeping me well and truly on my toes, still thats no excuse when I have a good book to tell you about.
Synopsis - I’m falling.Faster.Further.Deeper.Sometimes you fall so hard you can’t get back up. My closest companions now are shame and loss. But a sliver of hope lies in the only person I have left in this world – the one who’s growing inside me.Survival becomes living again because of my child, and the town where I begin anew. That’s where I meet the man who starts to melt the ice inside my heart.As we get closer, reminders of my past become sharper. Clearer. To confront the pain, I have to discover what’s deep down inside me. Is there enough left there to become whole again, or am I too wounded to heal? I have loved Brenda since her Fire on Ice series. This book just proves her stories are getting better with each one.She tackles a hard subject with this one but does it with grace and thoughtfulness. I will admit the first section of this book is a little hard to read. Not because it's not written well but because it is. The feelings I felt right along with Ivy are huge and at one point I was ready to break out the cotton wool for the poor girl. Brenda didn't see me wrong though and Ivy is strong so my cotton wool was not needed.
Oh and when she meets our hero Reed my heart just latched on to the thought of these two and ran with it. He is just straight out wonderful. I definitely would stand in line if Ivy passed him up
Brenda has done a awesome job of painting a picture of the small town of Lovely too. At one point I was ready to pack my bags and go join their community.
I know this is a short and sweet review but I don't want to give to much away. This is one story where you need to go in as blind as possible and just feel. I promise it will only hurt for a little while and then as always with the bad comes the oh so good.
