Wow, I loved this book it follows Avery and her escape and survival from her abuser with a little bit of cash to protect her daughter. As someone who comes from a family of DV, this hits home as it deals with the aftermath and side effect of the situation which I can relate to so much. I also appreciate that the author didn’t give the abuser a voice in the book which when you read it you will understand what this means.
The three ex-military men Ryker, Easton and Zack were so patient with Avery and her daughter Chloe throughout the book. Chloe is such a cute, fun and loving character in this who doesn’t understand the extent of what Avery went through but rips your heart out when she comments on things that the abuser did.
I highly recommend this book. Just it didn’t hit the five-star mark for me but was so close. I felt the last 80 pages were a little rushed. Felt the spice scenes were quite similar and the why choose element took away the realism toward the end for me. But this was a fantastic book that I can relate to.
