I was done with love.
When I opened my heart, it was for the men I couldn't have.
The unattainable ones.
The ones who would hurt me.
A vicious cycle I couldn’t seem to stop.
But I had a new resolve.
Focus on my career.
Stay single.
And then I met him.
Jace Montgomery.
A wounded widower with two young kids.
He was exactly everything I was avoiding.
So I did my best to stay away.
But then he kissed me.
And I fell.
Hard.
Hard for a man who would never be mine…
A man who was broken beyond repair.
A man who would break me.
This is an emotional tale of two lost souls. Told in a dual perspective which is my favourite, you cannot help but get pulled into Jace and Sydney's story. While reading this book I ran through a gauntlet of feels, but the most pronounced would have been sadness and anger.
Jace is struggling. A workaholic to his core he can barely function without the distraction of his very demanding job. He has lost so much and now he is pulling away from what remains of his life. He blames himself for what he is suffering, and is blinded by his grief. When he isn't working he uses the bottle to drown out his memories and pain. All he wants to be is numb.
Sydney is the opposite end of the scale. A pathological people pleaser, who cannot say no, is always willing to lend a hand and constantly chooses the wrong men to give her heart too. She too has suffered loss but instead of isolating herself from the rest of her life she stills wants to live and is looking forward to the day when she can finally be happy in love.
Sydney burst into Jace's life and completely flips it on its head but he still refuses to let go of his guilt. When the unexpected happens, how Jace deals with the situation tells us he is far from ready to move forward. Sydney however, surprised me. She knows what she must do, refusing to crumble, Sydney chooses to fight for what she deserves.
These two will have you shouting at your reader no doubt but stick around there is one powerful story within see pages. Well worth the read!
