Rating: 5 out of 5

I received this novel as a gift and I am so glad I did.This is not a light easy breezy romance novel.This story is a brilliantly woven tale of heartbreak, pain, trauma and in the end forgiveness and love. It is a story that combines all of these things so well that by the end you are wishing there was more, or at least that’s how it was with me.I read a lot of romance, but the ones that stand out the most are the stories where the characters are not one dimensional. They are more true to the majority of the people in the world and less out of this world and this author has captured that masterfully in this story. Marcus and Amber are real characters with these real issues and they are so well woven that I feel as though I know them personally after finishing their story.When I read, I tend to do it like a writer in terms of certain key things and one of those is how the story moves. There are no lulls in this story, no breaks where one could find themselves becoming bored. It moves steadily, some might even say perfectly so that the relationship that forms between these two characters seems realistic and flawless.There is no instant love, in fact, it’s kind of comical with how non-instant it is, which for me as a reader makes me love it more because I can relate. Dating, relationships, Love, it’s not quick and easy and this story portrays that perfectly.It’s by far one of the best romance novels I’ve had the pleasure of reading in quite some time and I am so thankful that I found it. The author has outdone themselves and this is a book I will definitely recommend.In closing, I’ll do what I haven’t done in awhile and fangirl because Marcus…ugh…I love Marcus and if him and Amber weren’t so damn perfect together, I’d steal him. Yes I would.
