Oh my goodness! This is my first book by this author, and I am blown away! Cora & Dean had to walk through the fire. This book was dark. I love dark romance, and this one did not disappoint. From the beginning their relationship was funny always making fun of one another, but then it was so dark. Cora was lost, and as hard as Dean fought he couldn’t reach her. Her relationships with her parents and sister were so strained I didn’t see Cora and Mandy ever coming back together. Dean’s mother was so sad. I can’t imagine it, but reading his thoughts on it had me in tears. This book took us to some really high highs only to plunge us into the darkness. When Corabelle finally let some light in what a change in her, and I didn’t see that come from a woman that shared this situation. 

I LOVED this book! Seriously, I am so excited to read more from this author! When you see an author have such a high review and rating, try their work! There’s a reason, and this book is it!
