Fate has a funny way of messing with your heart. A chance meeting in the hallway of a courthouse is the start of more than just a one night stand for two people who have sworn off serious relationships for their own reasons. With so many small things in common, Cynthia and Jonah find they both would like a closer relationship, but there is one common thread that may keep them apart, if Jonah refuses to disclose his pain from his combat history. If Jonah can’t accept his PTSD, how can Cynthia, a counselor for PTSD sufferers? Will her “textbook” knowledge and assumptions that she knows how to “fix” these damaged souls prove too much for Jonah to handle? He’s lived it, she hasn’t. Only if You Dare is a short story of learning to open up, trust and share with more than just your heart.Margo Hoornstra’s novella carries a story of finding love when you least expect it, learning to trust and learning to truly listen to those around you. Although a quick read, without a huge amount of depth, there is a message of love and an eye-opening description of life for those who suffer from the horrors of PTSD, no matter the cause. Well done with few words!I received a review copy from the author in exchange for my honest review as part of a virtual blog tour.
