It is very interesting to ponder the long term impact of an individual’s experiences growing up. Depending on the balance of positive and negative, these experiences have the power to mold a person into the adult they will become. Rex Greyson is a victim of haunting childhood memories. His past continues to hold a deathly grasp around him and the pain he carries daily is almost too much to handle. This novel begins with the main reason for all of Rex’s suffering and additional details continue to get leaked throughout the story. My heart immediately melted for this strong yet deeply damaged man. I fell in love with Rex from the first page.Vanessa Hilliard is no stranger to the lasting effects from those that raise you. The similarities between Rex and Vanessa are apparent instantly, which is one reason they complement each other so well. With each passing page, their story together becomes more complex and complicated. I loved getting to know Rex and Vanessa as they discovered happiness is possible. What started as causal hook-ups quickly weaves into something deeper. All they have to do is accept the potential of more. Easier said than done, right?Catching up with Oliver and Hunter was amazing! I am thankful to the author for including them a lot in this book. They play huge supporting roles for Rex and Vanessa. Their ongoing encouragement was necessary and definitely needed. Rex and Vanessa have happy masks they wear but the real pain underneath can’t be hidden forever.This novel is a beautiful portrayal of the intense impact of emotional and internal suffering. The weight of this burden is too much for one person to carry but with the help of another person, it becomes manageable. The glorious connection between Vanessa and Rex brought tears to my eyes. These two broken individuals desperately needed one another, no matter how hard they tried to deny it. They had been waiting their entire lives for love to unlock the pain that was brewing for way too long. I appreciate the meaningful journey this talented author created and I will cherish each memorable word.
