I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving a book review.
This is a Novella but oh boy packed a big punch. What would you do for the ones you love the most in this world, anything right. Hanson and Lillian do just that with big life changes and extreme sacrifice and secrets and I loved both of these characters. It had so much feeling and heartbreak and was very intense at times, it just couldn’t be put down and I thought it was beautiful.
A quick dark suspenseful tale, with a twist…
… an intriguing page turner, from beginning to end..
***4 Stars***
Ok where do I begin??
Because this one was kind of a mindfuck in the very beginning because I read the blurb and as I read the prologue I was all WTF? Wait. Hold up.
Went back and read the blurb.
Started again and was still WTF? And decided to keep going because now my curiosity was peaked and I needed to know WTF was going on and in the end I felt like I ran a damn marathon and was happy when I got to the finish line, but wanted, NEEDED, more.
That’s what this short story did to me
I
NEED
MORE
This is not a “slice of life” not really.
It’s more and yet you get a complete story. It’s all kinds of wonky but it’s wonky, dark, smexy and heart melting goodness with characters you need to know more about.
I know this is all kinds of vague and verbal comity, but trust me. When you read this one, and you should, you’ll feel the same way.
You will want more even though you are satisfied with how everything turns out.

Well this might be a short novella but the story is perfect! Lillian and Hanson both sacrifice everything for a little girl named Daisy. This was a beautiful story of loss and redemption. Told in dual POV.
What a gritty, gripping, dark, erotic, heartwarming, angsty 2nd chance romance that tells a story of sacrifice, joy, love and hope that is filled with characters that will touch your heart and soul.
Hanson is an escaped convict. Lillian is a single mom of Daisy. They have loved each other and now he’s come for his family. This story is told is past, present and future in order to explain things and set up a beautifully established story and the story moves quickly so be prepared
for the rapid pace. I dont want to give any spoilers because this story is one that you want to savor going into. If I tell you anything more, it could spoil this for those that like spoiler free reads. Just know, this is a story about a man and a woman who are also a father and mother, who desperately love one another beyond the sun and stars, and will do whatever it takes for their love AND their daughter.
This is a novella read that is so freaking awesome. I never wanted it to be over.
My rating: 4.7 stars *****
I want to start by saying I absolutely love this cover.
This is a really short read, so I will keep the review that way too, so no spoilers.
Lillian and Hanson’s story is really short, but that doesn’t mean that Clarissa doesn’t make a big impact on those pages.
Lillian is a single mom, Hanson is a con, Daisy is caught in the middle, they are both trying to do the right things in life for love.
But will there be an HEA? Or will it end in imprisonment?
