Tess literally bumps into her at the grocery during her first week. Can Tess help her heal and welcome love and healing. Recommend. Great performance and story.

Such a story

An interesting topic. Domestic violence never easy to discuss let alone PTSD of a survivor of that experience. I thought it covered the subject matter well. I enjoyed the softness and patience of the pursuer of the relationship and how it eventually paid off and a wonderful ending.

Exceptional

This story is beautifully exceptional. I hesitated on listening to this book and after I listened to it have no idea why. The Narrator did a wonderful job!

Abuse and Patience

Laura is abused by her wife. Then the accident while defending herself happens. She has a lot of healing to do. Tess is attracted to Laura who is unattainable. Since Tess is an extrovert and one that doesn't give up easily, she works in a friendship with Laura. Tess does become the light to Laura's darkness.

Loved it!

This story was such a breath of fresh air! I loved how real the storyline was and so very honest and how much I wanted to know and listen to each moment.

Excellent.

This was a great book and it deals a little with domestic violence within the lesbian home. Very important

very good lesbian audiobook

very good lesbian audiobook, fun, interesting, romantic and hot. the narrative voice is excellent.

Wonderful listening experience

Both women, Tess and Lara, were very well written, in both the book and the audio book. The audio book was exactly like the written book and kept to the storyline which made it very enjoyable to read. The characters were both entertaining. The drama was light and the humor was kept to a minimum but was also well placed in the story. A bit of jealousy added to the storyline was inspiring to the reader and made for a bit of a dramatic addition to Lara’s personality. Overall a really enjoyable listening experience provided by the author .

Love vs grief.

While this story can be a little frustrating at times, like “open your eyes girl!”, it is a well constructed tale of how long it takes true love to combat an abusive relationship.
In the end, it was worth it 😉.
Be patient and I think you will agree.

Different

I found this different and maybe a little unexpected for Harper Bliss. The story was unique. I’m not sure if the narration put me off a little or what...can’t put my finger on what I didn’t like. Over all good, though.
