A very complicated, emotional, intense and much more read. A woman following her dream to make it big. A man with a lot of baggage who realizes he wants so much more. It will definitely keep you reading. I recommend it. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
A complex story of two troubled individuals. Gabrielle had a difficult childhood and had to work very hard for what she accomplished. She wasn’t going to let Beathan derail her dreams. Beathan Reynolds was a famous actor who had an accident that resulted in an arm amputation. After seclusion, he agreed to be the lead in Gabrielle’s movie but bailed on her. The characters’ development was amazing. I loved reading about individuals overcoming adversity and growing together.
This is my first read from this author and I enjoyed it very much. I would definitely recommend it.
The Miles Between Us
by Jennifer Hartley
The Miles Between Us is not what the reader would envision the storyline to be about, from reading the title. A little unlike the usual romance stories, because the couple is not perfect; physically or mentally. It is a beautifully written, touching and honest story; showing us how much life can be changed, in a blink of an eye. The Miles Between Us is a touching, heart-wrenching and emotionally charged story, about the importance of loving someone for who they are inside, not how they look on the outside; the unconditional love for each other is a beautiful love story!!!
These two, great characters that are broken; damaged and emotionally scarred souls that have not had a chance to recover from their pain and are brought together. Both overlooking the negative and finding only the best in the other, these characters have a comfort level that feels so natural; like a soulmate. An entirely new experience when a person is accepted and loved for the person they are. Their bantering that is funny, with off the chains good sex.
Ms. Jennifer Hartley knows how to touch her readers hearts in ways that are unimaginable. Jennifer Hartley has written an utter gemstone, her words in The Mile Between Us had me laughing, and crying while reading this wonderfully written, poignant story of an unlikely love. I celebrated throughout amazing story; A MUST READ for all that love a good cry while reading!! The Miles Between Us is a touching, heart-wrenching story that this reader did not want to ever end, not the typical romance story. This is an incredibly good book, one that should not missed Thank you. The message of Ms. Jennifer Hartley’s book The Mile Between Us is profound. I really loved it, well done Ms. Jennifer Hartley and I must give this book and the author both, 5 stars.
Gabrielle is a talented producer and a driven woman who doesn’t let anything get in her way. Movies are her passion. She is however plagued by one obstacle to true happiness. Beathan is a actor, handsome, talented and obnoxious. They are making a movie together until he runs away, scared of the final scene, scared of looking like a freak since he lost his arm.
Two souls battered by life’s circumstances are thrown together. This is an amazing book, full of interesting, complex, and vulnerable characters. The narrative is exceptional and helps set the stage for the scenes but also gives so much life to the characters. The emotional rollercoaster the author sends the characters on by having them acknowledge and work through their internal struggles pulls at the reader’s heart strings. I became emotionally invested in their story. The dialogue while crude at time enhances the experience. This book does contain hot steamy sexual scenes that I feel are actually necessary for the storyline to work. It is an excellent steamy contemporary romance that also deals with societal and personal perceptions of what is considered beautiful.
ARC was given to me by Author through Booksprout. I am giving my review voluntarily.
The Miles Between Us by Jennifer Hartley.
I gave this book 5 stars, because it was one of the most beautiful, touching, honest books I’ve read in a while.
This was the first book I read by this author, and I really loved it!!!
The main characters both were emotionally scared. Gabrielle was not your typical beaty perfect heroin, she was told all her life that she was ugly, too skinny, flat chested, and no one will ever want her – she truly believed that of herself. All she wanted to do was be a great film director. This really broke my heart….you actually felt her pain.
Now Beathan, he is a gorgeous man, your typical alpha male hero, a famous actor who loved sex, and beautiful woman. Unfortunately 5 years ago he had a freak car accident, that caused him to lose his right arm it destroyed him and his career causing him to fall into a deep depression, and become a recluse.
These two come together now for a movie that she was directing and she specifically wanted him to be play the main character……. let’s just say they clashed a bit at first. The sparks were flying, temper’s igniting to red hot fire.
This book showed us how much life can change in a blink of an eye. How important it is to love someone for who they are inside, not how they look on the outside. The sex was off the chains good, great characters, the bantering was funny, emotionally charged book, depression is a really big dark hole that’s hard to climb out of, the unconditional love these two had for each other was a beautiful ending to their story!!!
Yah!!! Girl power
A captivating read from beginning to end! An exciting storyline that leaves you breathless wanting more! Sexy steam filled chemistry! Emotionally heartfelt, enjoyable and fun! One heck of a twisted, intense rollercoaster ride! I enjoy stories with heros and heroines over coming their disadvantages. An amazing must read!
“I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.”
Gabrielle is an indie film director who is having the opportunity of her life by directing a mainstream film. And he wants him and only him.
Beathan is an actor who after an accident loses his right arm. After that, he goes into retirement until Gabrielle requests him for her film.
Both characters have scars which run deep, one physically and the other mentally. Together they learn to trust each other and overcome those scars.
The book has potential. However, it needs a full editing process.

A gritty romance with depth

As the story progresses their personalities collide, public perceptions are confronted, and the realities of love and life are showcased.

ONE FANTASTIC ADVENTURE!!!
Man, talk about pressure. I was completely captivated from start to finish. This is one emotional rollercoaster with so much heartache and hope it really pulls those heartstrings and bring all of your emotions into play. Action packed, heart pounding, pulse racing, smooth flowing, page turning dynamo that brings this bad boy roaring to life beautifully. All the drama, uncertainty, along with fear and a little intrigue along makes one amazing storylines. Jennifer is an incredibly gifted author as she shows us her talents up close and personal. The characters are complex, believable and so realistic it brings this bad boy roaring to life beautifully. The scenes are so descriptive and detailed it really draws you in with a realism that has such depth you can almost breathe it. All the trials and tribulations along with plenty surpiring plot twists it really rocks this little guy. Excellent job Jennifer, thanks for sharing this little jewel with us.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
This was such a touching and refreshing story. The female protagonist was not a beauty but taller than the male protagonist, broad shouldered like a man and in some places called ugly. The male protagonist (Beathan) is an older handsome actor. What a refreshing change!
The story was told in a dual POV format. I love this type of format. It really gets me into the mindset of the characters.
This is a pretty steamy read but I wouldn’t call it erotica as there is a story here not just sex.
