Varian Krylov does it again with Hurt. This is one powerful love story. Definitely not your traditional love story. There is a love triangle here and I tend to hate those, but Varian has such a way with connecting the reader to the characters that it was all so beautiful.Vanka has been diagnosed with breast cancer. This books takes us through that painful period with Vanka and with Galen by her side. Galen has a lover, Khalid. Khalid brings unconditional love to the relationship. He loves Vanka as much as he loves Galen. Khalid seems so open and vulnerable to me. He makes me sad. My feelings for him were more extreme than they were for Vanka. I didn't want Khalid in the relationship. I wanted him to find love with someone who knew how to love him - not Galen. I struggled with Galen and Khalid's relationship because Khalid is an extraordinary person in my opinion, and he deserved so much more. My heart hurt for Khalid.This books takes us on the journey with Vanka. Her struggle with thinking she was going to die to feeling like she wasn't the person she used to be.It took me a long tome to read Hurt - several days. I had to stop and take a breather from the emotional journey that I was taking with these three. Now, I am emotionally exhausted.If you want to read something that will take you out of your comfort zone. This is it. Actually, all of Varian's books will do that. I highly recommend this book. Keep in mind the heroine has breast cancer and if that is an issue for you, you many want to avoid Hurt.
