This is a well written book with well defined characters. This story will keep you guessing what all happen next with Karina and Zymir. Can the connection between them get them through all the issues from the past and present.
This was such a great read about being able to believe in love again. Initially I really couldn’t stand Karina. She was so stuck-up and hateful to Zy. There were several times throughout this novel, where I wanted to shake some sense into Karina. I loves how she was able to admit her fears and was able to tell Zy all about the pains from her past. I was really excited for her when she finally opened her heart and let Zy in!
Zy must be half saint because how he was able to look pass Karina’s treatment is beyond me! He was so loving and patient with Karina. I loved how he encouraged her to heal herself so that she could be better for them both. They both had a beautiful ending together. I can’t wait to read the next one!
The author has pulled us into the lives of Karina and Zymir and does not let go. Karina has so much pain in her past that she has erected walls that no one will be able to climb. Zymir has an attraction to Karina and just knows that he is the one to, not only climb those walls, but help her heal.

When her car did not work, he took it upon himself to check it out which only enraged her. It also started the journey of Karina and Zymir. This story will touch your hearts and have you cheering Zymir and Karina on along their path to a happily ever after.

This was so goooood . Karina got some thangs going on y’all and it is heart wrenching . She has gone through it and I felt every beat of her , and at times it was a lot, I empathized with her.
Zymir is grown, and he stands firm in that. His personality mixed with her made for a clash that is absolute . Riding on that rollercoaster ride with them was an incredible ride .
Ms. Verano did her thing with this one. The pacing and flow were like riding on a breeze. There weren’t any lags or stalled moments in there. I enjoyed this book and I recommend it.
