I didn't receive a complimentary copy, but I got it for almost free at Amazon ($0.99) and it was worth more. Read the first sample chapter and I decided I'm gonna like this book, it did not disappoint.I pegged this genre for historical since this was set in the late 70s to early 80s but still tagged it as contemporary 'cause I understand historical is in the regency/medieval times.We have Lyv, a plus size heroine who has trash for a mom, and treasure for a best friend. This story ran for a span of 5 years, and it was quite fast paced. It's about true love, loss, fortune, and how a friend's love turned into more-than-friends love.I loved the relationship with Lyv and Ten, how they're comfortable with each other, they're each other's support. I'm a fan of friends turned to lovers, and it reminded me of another story, Bianca Giovanni's "Vice, Virtue, & Video: Revealed"; only the ending of this one is quite different with that of the book mentioned.Lyv is a resilient person, the horrors she went thru she put past and looked forward, with the help of Ten. I don't want to spoil anything here so I'm not dangling any juicy bits. Just know that I enjoyed reading this page-turner. There was never a boring chapter here, and I hope there's a sequel.
