Trying to find her place in a world where she knows she doesn’t quite fit, Rowena struggles to earn respect and freedom. Two years apart and a man desperate for the arms of the woman he loves returns, seeing only her, needing her, rushing to her. Caedmon has come home, but Rowena has changed and this is the first of many scenes that start piercing your heart with hot pokers, one after another. How does Caedmon break through to Rowena’s heart, unlocking what has been stolen from both of them? An inner ache is trying to tell Rowena something about this man, but, like a fleeting thought, it is just out of her grasp.Proving once again that less can be more, A. J. Nuest’s Candra’s Freedom is an intensely romantic, intensely emotional trip into the fantasy of love and romance. The magic of her writing fills each page with vivid scenes, the deepest inner thoughts of her main characters, their pains and their joys as well as their confusions and frustrations. Rowena and Caedmon will burrow into your heart, while their plight has your reaching for your box of tissues, had Candra’s Freedom been any longer and I may have needed a roll of paper towels. Only a tale that becomes personal through the efforts of a wonderful storyteller can do this to me. A. J. Nuest is a wonderful storyteller.I received this copy from the author in exchange for my honest review, and honestly, this short read packs as much punch as one three times its size.
