Narrado por: Todd Haberkorn, Tanya Eby

Aleena Moore is haunted by Jared Holt. It's been six years since she's seen her brother's best friend, the self-destructive bad boy she secretly loved in high school. As the years pass, she knows it's time to move on. Time to decide between a practical nursing degree and her true dream as an artist. Time to get over Jared and give another guy a chance…Just when she opens her heart to her friend, Gabe, Aly returns home to find Jared sleeping on her couch. The teenage boy she loved has grown into a man she can't resist. Covered in tattoos and lost in rage, he's begging to be saved from his demons - the memories of the day he destroyed his family. As the two reconnect, their passion is hot enough to torch Aly's judgment. But can she risk her future for a man who lives on the edge of destruction?

Beautifully written story

What did you like best about this story?

I like Aly's relationship with Jared when they were growing up. How she always loves him, even when she was young.

Any additional comments?

The concept of this story is not something new but it was beautifully written. This story is about second chance. I could feel Jared's guilt and heartache. I was so sad for his lost but also how he blamed himself. I could feel the chemistry and love between Jared and Aly. I thought the relationship they had growing up was very special. Made me wish that I have someone like Jared growing up; someone who always be there for me and stood up for me.

I look forward to the next book. I hope that Jared learns to let go of the past and guilt.

Very Emotional

Jared, Aly and her brother, Chris grew up together. Their families were extremely close until an unfortunate accident involving Jared and his mom.
Then everything changed. Jared lived with guilt believing he didn’t deserve to live. Aly and Jared always had a pull towards each other since they were young. It’s a good story with so many different emotions, loss of a parent, heartbreak, pain, guilt, tears, depression, drugs and suffering. The story is similar to real life. Narrators did a good job capturing the author’s thoughts. HFN

Brutally Beautiful

This was such an emotionally devastating romance. Jared had so much hurt & grief in his heart, this was his story of his struggle to find peace & forgive himself.
Ally was always his, he just didn’t know it.
Watching Ally love him through his pain & love him enough for the both of them was emotional. Jared’s grief and self loathing was so intense & real.

wow

this was such a good book... sad and heartbreaking... but sweet and hopeful too. when everything seemed as if all was lost... things couldn't be so far from the truth. love was the answer all along

GREAT Book!!!

I really enjoyed this love story! Found myself not being able to put it down! looking forward to the second book. It does run on in places, but other than that, I loved it.
