Bonjour, my name is André Chevalier. It has been my joy and my great honor to help those who have lost their way. Not long after I began my journey, I met two such wounded souls.

Renata Koreman, my little mouse. She came to me as a child - shy, mute, injured...broken. It took oh-so many years to start to bring her back to herself! Yet, I could not fully heal her.

Years later, Grant Wilkinson, he too fell into my hands. The ex-Army Ranger was badly disfigured and saw himself as a monster. Isolated by secrets, solitary and self-contained, his colleagues affectionately named him "Frosty". Yet, how should one behave when besieged by a lifetime of confusion and guilt?

The moment I saw him, I thought of her and I wondered. The eyes, they cannot always see clearly. And the heart? Ah, the heart can only guess at the truth. So it was that I remained uncertain.

Could the mouse and the monster heal each other?

Renata and Grant are perfect for each other. both have come from horrible pasts and have lingering struggles. André guides these two together to help each other heal. Pulling on heart strings, Renata helps Grant work through some of his sexual issues. The emotions run high in this book, as it dives into Grant's past abuse as a child. André always has a reason for his actions, and putting Renata and Grant together is no exception. I could not put this book down. I not only got lost in the story, felt every emotion of the characters, but I also had to jump right into the next book.

Robert Scarlato once again does justice to André. He brings out the tough exterior of Grant, as well as Grant's fears and insecurities. Robert narrates Renata exactly as I imagined her. André's nickname for her, fits perfectly and that is how Robert's narration portrays her. I enjoy Mr. Scarlato's narration.

Speaking about abuse is never easy and when it's one of the major factors in a book I wonder if it will be handled well, in this case it is. It's hard to listen to, but it's also an important topic to acknowledge and to be aware of and this book covers it with care and compassion without shying away.

The characters are beautifully complex, damaged yet resilient, full or sorrow and hope.

It's also worth noting that there is a bit of a cliffhanger at the end, so you may want to have book two ready to go.

The narration is excellent, clear character voices, good accents and a delivery that was easy to listen to.

Loved this listen! An intense and complex story with great characters, with plenty of unexpected humor. Does have dark subject matter, most of the characters are dealing with past abuse and are healing. Fantastic narrator who made each character unique. Highly recommend and will be looking into reading/listening to the other books in the series. I received a free review copy of this audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

This book was way more than I expected it to be. Mr. Scarlato was such a great narrator for this book that while listening I could really get into it and follow along with these characters as they worked through their pain. Andre was such a patient and loving character who really knows how to help people. It was unbelievable to me, however, that a man that young could possibly be so knowledgeable and capable of all he accomplished with his patients and his career. That being said, his character was someone who could not help but get into your heart. Andre's therapy sessions were very good, fascinating and could actually help some listeners. All the characters in this book were wonderful and interesting in their own way. I am thankful for being given the opportunity to listen to this one. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Excellent!! Love it!
