This was a great read a little bit on the dark side but not too much. This is Dana’s story she was in an abusive marriage and managed to escape with her children this is her story of learning to live and move on after being stuck with a monster. This was a super read and the first book in the series and I will be keeping an eye out for more.

Surviving one to love another
Surviving Him by Frey Le Karr is a wonderfully written story and engages the reader fully. This story is dark as it does deal with a dark and often not talked about subject matter – domestic abuse. But there is also the light in the story which is the love the two main characters have for each other, even if they cannot be together.
Dana has been abused by her husband in the extreme. She has a daughter who brings light and love into her life. She has fled her husband, of course taking her daughter, to a family abuse house. She meets Logan and they fall in love which results in her becoming pregnant and having another daughter. Logan loves Dana, her daughter by the ex and their child together. He wants nothing more than to be together and protect them.
However, Dana’s ex has other plans and comes after her so she has to leave. This means that that she leaves Logan behind, which breaks both their hearts. Dana has to take steps to protect what is hers and this can mean doing drastic things.
Even though Surviving Him is dark and heavy, with potential triggers so be warned, it is also a story of survival and the light and good that can be found around us, even if in unlikely places, if we dare to open ourselves up to it if we dare.
There were some things that I found disjointed in the story but overall it was a really interesting and captivating read.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
I really wanted to like this book. The blurb caught my interest and the cover was stunning. I just could not connect with Dana. Sure I felt for her but I did not understand why she thought she couldn’t be with Logan. And I also thought that Logan should have pulled his head out of his a** quicker and put his foot down and brought his woman and kids home. Anywho this was a hard read for me I had to make myself finish because it didn’t hold my interest. I will read the next book because I’m curious about Lee and his story.

WOW this story packs quite a punch you are dawn into the dark world of Dana and you feel it all with her
Dana has finally had enough and she is on the run with her daughter Kayleigh from her abusive es She has found a place in a women’s refuge and then she meets Logan in fact he becomes the father of her youngest child. Dana knows that her ex will eventually find her so she won’t start a life with Logan even though this ex soldier is quite capable of protecting her and her daughters. Will they get a HEA This is a story that really rips at your heartstrings and is hard to imagine if you have never had a life like it.
Yep I said it! I want to like this story but it felt like it was being read to me by someone reiterating a narrative. It for me was disjointed and made me not like it so much. I am giving it 3 stars as the story has so much potential but for me did not deliver what I thought it could have. I wish it was more about the story of Logan and Dana. Now with that being said I thought Dana created a lot of her Drama. She had me so frustrated that I honestly wanted to quit reading at one point and just call it quits. But I thought maybe that was the intention of the author so I finished it. I just think it could’ve been done so much better and with not so much filler.

This book starts off with some graphic domestic violence, so major trigger warning. This is all about rebuilding life and love when you feel broken beyond measure. It’s heart wrenching and beautiful.

Dana is a conflicted woman. Wanting to protect her children, herself and just be allowed the happiness that she finds in Logan.
Amazing how one horrible man can ruin so many lives. Ian will never be man of the year. He’s so twisted.
Now Logan is the kind of man any woman would love to have. Even if he thinks he can’t protect her because of his own scars and past. He’s done so much for her. Even apart their love will never break. He loves his family and will do whatever he can to be with them. But what happens years later when the demon from your nightmares come back in the flesh?
I am so impressed with Dana. She is a woman of strength and her instincts to protect her children. She felt fear, learned to let a good man in and love as she should be. These characters will take the rug from under you and have you experiencing these moments with them.
Story was told so well. Get ready to deal with every emotion and heartbreak thrown at you.

Dana is a single mother of two trying her best to survive an abusive relationship. She lives in a refuge with four other women all in the same situation. We’ve all read stories where the heroine was in some type of abusive relationship but this one takes it to a whole other level. Dawn had to include this so the reader would truly understand Dana and the choices she made. That for these women, survival isn’t merely a word but a way of life not only for them but their children.
Logan is the man that Dana meets one night. They fall madly in love but Dana knows in order to keep him safe, she must live away from him. He was so right for her it hurt to see them having to live apart. Throughout the book you could see that Logan would be able to protect her and their girls. Her unwillingness to let herself and her children be in a place where they can be both safe and happy was frustrating.
Loved the book it was great reading it. The story was well written and the characters were interesting. Dana has been hiding from her ex husband for physical abuse. Dana fell in love with Logan they had a child together, Logan wants to keep protecting Dana but she had to go into a refuge with several other mothers with abusive relationships.
Thank you for allowing me to review this book it was great.

This is the first book I have read by this author; Dana has left an abusive relationship and the author does a fantastic job of describing how Dana is feeling, thinking and coping. Logan and Dana connect but there’s Dana’s fears regarding her abusive ex husband that is standing in the way of two really becoming a couple and being happy together. This is a story that grabbed a hold of me, and I couldn’t put it down and stop reading, I had to stay where I was sitting and keep reading to see what was happening next. It’s an emotional story and one that may have triggers for some readers. This is a wonderfully written story and I’m looking forward to reading more from this author in the future.
