Publisher's summary

“I can promise you this. As long as you want me around, I’ll be here to remind you what a beautiful and amazing person you are.”

Being a survivor of abuse, a single mom, and not fitting into society's version of attractive, I never thought I would hear those words, especially from someone who was my nemesis on my plant enthusiast message board. So when Jack Kettler, a man much older than I, took notice of me and treated me in a way I had only seen on tv, I couldn’t help but want to open myself up, just one more time.

Two weeks–that’s what we agreed to. I would fly across the country to be with Jack for two weeks to see if what we were feeling over the phone was more than just a crush. So what I got when I walked through the small Kentucky airport was not what I expected.

One dark secret after another made me question who Jack was, what I was getting myself into, and if what I was feeling in my heart was strong enough to survive what I would have to sacrifice for us to be together.

Hope for the Broken

I really like this author, she doesn't fall into the troupe of only a wealthy rich ML can solve the broken FL’s problems.

Krimmer’s stories are always deeply emotional because it is taken ordinary people with ordinary problems, real problems like survivors of domestic violence, recovering drug addiction, broken homes, broken families and or heartbreaking grief.

I loved Aurora and Jack, their story felt like a friend telling me how they met or giving insight to how life can go on after living a life of heartache and heartbreak.

I enjoyed this story and even took some advice towards my own life about moving on from broken life.

Give it a go, there is no disappointment in this dark romance.

Awesome 😎

A well written story. The narrators did a fantastic job of bringing these characters to life. Heartfelt and hot at times too. A one click author and two narrators who's works I will be adding to my library immediately! 💕

Loved this. Wish there was more of Jack and Rory. I laughed, cried, and swooned over the characters in this book. Beautifully written!!!

Absolutely beautiful

Loved this! Author DJ Krimmer is an amazing storyteller and to hear it narrated truly brought it to life. Paige and PJs performance was top notch. If you want a romance this is for you. I live how Krimmer makes her characters real and perfectly imperfect.

Closing The Distance, Outstanding Story!

This book was outstanding. Not only was the story very captivating and moving but the narrator’s did a fantastic job. Paige Reisenfeld and PJ Freebourn did such a great job that I often felt like I was in the story. Five stars all around!

Great Duet Style Audio Book

This book was one of my top & favorite reads of 2022. I was excited to start the audio book. The audio book delivered. The narrators brought Rory and Jack to life. The emotions that both Rory & Jack felt during the story were performed so well by the narrators. I highly recommend this audio book. I now have two more narrators that I will seek out other books that they narrate.

Excellent story, and a top tier narration team. Maybe a bit too explicit for my liking in places, but the story overcame that and I truly enjoyed the listen. You will too, I'm sure. :)

Aurora (Rory) is a single Mom who owns an exotic plant shop and is overcoming a very abusive relationship. Rory is also mostly deaf and has helerochromia I loved that representation. Jack is a single Dad who is struggling to make it with a very checkered past. When a break-in happens at her shop she makes a post on her online group about plants and her and Jack start talking. Eventually she and Jack meet and they hit a very bumpy road working out their relationship. I loved how real this story felt and the narrators brought the characters to life. These two got a second chance at starting their lives over and get their HEA.

❤️❤️❤️

This story was heart-wrenchingly beautiful. I also loved the narrators. Truly an amazing book. Highly recommend!
