My first introduction to RS Grey’s writing was with Behind His Lens, a story with erotic undertones about the importance of life and love… With this Heart was nothing like that…  not really!With this Heart takes us on Abby’s journey as she takes life by the balls, chooses to live it, and lives it in the company of Beck.  The underpinning driver behind Abby is the gift of a second chance.With this Heart is written with a mix of love, laughs, firsts, sadness, loss, hope, and so many more emotions. The characters are well developed and the story rolls off the pages.  It has your heart soaring, and breaking as Abby goes on her road trip.Abby and Beck are perfect for each other – how they meet is quite unique, but as the relationship blossoms you are cheering for them.  This story has twists, big gaping pot holes and a full circle journey to find the happy ever after tale.I think this is a great NA story, and RS Grey has an amazing gift with the written word.  You definitely are a 3rd wheel on this journey, as you are drawn into Abby’s life.I will say, that while there was absolutely nothing wrong with the writing, the structure or the plot I did struggle initially to get sucked in.  The pages kept turning, but I almost felt like I was pulling teeth to draw out my emotions.  With that in mind – at around 38% - BAM…  something shifted, I was hooked, ugly face crying by the end and seriously needing some happiness to pour out of the page.So my advice is – read this story.  If you find it slow – just treat it like sex, a slow build makes the end all that much more exciting!!  By the end I was in…  I loved the story – I felt the emotions, I wanted the HEA and I sat back and reflected on the very clear message about the importance of living…  Thank you RS Grey.
