Maybe this is my redemption. Maybe taking care of them will silence the voices, the noise, the memories that won’t let me sleep at night.
Together we heal
Their attraction towards each other was lit as soon as they met, but it burned slowly in the background and it's not until the story progresses further that their passion ignites. This was just so perfectly written, she softened the hardness of him, slowly he went from a non talker to opening up more and more, she brought out the best of him, together they were just perfect.
My initial thought going into this was that the author was setting me up for an emotional journey going by the synopsis that’s what my expectations were.
That’s not what I got though, but it didn’t leave me at all disappointed because this was way better than I could’ve hoped it would be, I not only fell in love with the characters but the whole storyline had me eating up the pages as though I was starved. The story of Caden and Piper pulled on my heart strings, as soon as I read that very first page the author had me sitting in the palm of her hand until I’d inhaled that very last page. This book was so beautiful in it’s entirety, I breathed it, inhaled it, loved it, highly recommend it.
