* I received an ARC of this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review*In Asher’s youth he was a lot of things. A football player. A pre-med student. And a soldier. But an IED explosion changed all of that. Now he’s a shut-in. He never leaves his house, except for doctor visits. He had come to the determination that he would be the last Lee to occupy his family home because there was no way anyone would ever want him. He let his disfigurement control his life and he’d accepted that…until a beautiful woman showed up on his doorstep.“I love you. Don’t you know I’d do anything for you?”Savannah trusted the wrong person and it not only broke her heart it also ruined her career. Now she has an opportunity to fix her career by writing a patriotic heartfelt article in time for the Fourth of July. Asher is the first person to come to mind and when he accepts her interview she knows she’ll get her career back. But what happens instead is that she finds someone who can repair her heart.“You don’t have to be pretty to be sexy. You’re plenty sexy, Asher.”Asher will never understand what a beautiful woman like Savannah sees in him, or how she can see past his disfigured face, but he never wants to let her go. She will turn him inside out and make him do things he hadn’t done in years…like go into town.“He fell in love. Someone tangled with his girl. He settled accounts.”This isn’t just a love story, it’s a life journey. Two people figure out how to get over not only their own prejudices, but also those of an entire town. It’s a beautiful story that will pull at your heartstrings and also make it soar.“I love her. I want to kill her most days, but I love her. I just don’t know what to do with her.”My Favorite Laughable Moment:I loved it when Asher and Savannah were discussing her driving his car.My Favorite Quote:“Can’t ride two horses with one *ss, honey. Try it and you’ll get hurt.”
