I lost everything. My job. My family. My life…my sanity. How does a man come back from that? How do you right so many wrongs when the choices you’ve made caused those around you so much pain? My determination to prove I was strong enough and that my mind and spirit was unbreakable, tore my family apart. By refusing to accept the help I so desperately needed, I caused irreparable damage to the … irreparable damage to the people I loved the most.
After everything I’ve done I didn’t think life would give me a second chance. But then I met Courtney. A beautiful woman with a troubled past, and scars that mirror my own. A woman who somehow manages to breathe new life into my soul.
Now I can’t help but hope that this might be my chance to make things right.

This is not a book for the faint of heart or those that may have triggers to certain situations so please read with caution. Zachary is former military and is having challenges dealing with being back with his family after serving. Courtney is a woman dealing with a marriage that has become difficult. Each one is diligently working towards creating a better life. When their paths intersect, they learn more from each other than they thought possible with one caveat. Ms. Paul has written a stunningly beautiful, heart wrenching story that reads true to life. Make sure to have tissues handy.
I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book and all opinions are my own.
This is Zachary Reid’s story of all the things he goes through and the woman Courtney Greene Peterson that came into his life when he needed her. Zachary had lost everything when they meet but she was able to show him that he had value. This is a tear jerker so keep the Kleenex near. Courtney was in remission from cancer when they first met. This is a new Author to me. I recommend this story.
This was 3 1/2 stars for me. It took a while to get into the story. Courtney and Zachary had histories that may have triggers for some people. The violence they lived with does exist, and it was great to see them try to get beyond that, become better people. I liked the characters and their journeys.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
I am in awe of this exceptionally talented author!! This is a beautifully written story which has a fantastic and detailed plot with complex and broken characters. The moral of this story is don’t let the past define you, live life to the fullest each day! This story is an emotional roller coaster ride, and is heartbreaking, intriguing and with surprises and love. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I cannot wait to read more of this authors’ work, which I highly recommend for all readers.
I really didn’t know how to rate this book. It was emotional but depressing. The sensitive subject matter was handled in a much different way than other books I’ve read. In the end, I guess forgiveness is the only way to survive!
This is the 1st book I’ve read written by Frances Paul; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

This was a good read. There were some parts that were a little too slow. The twist at then end was a complete surprise.

I found the book a bit slow for me. It dragged in parts and I don’t personally enjoy the writing style. It does a good job highlighting domestic abuse and Vet issues. Not my cup of tea, but others may enjoy it. It does read more like a contemporary lit than straight romance.
