Publisher's summary

Alyssa Jackson is one of the lucky ones. She has a thriving business, great friends, a devoted husband, an adorable daughter, and a scorching hot sex life that would be the envy of any married couple. Then, one tragic loss flips her world upside down. Floundering and unsure of how to cope with their grief, Alyssa and her husband drift apart until they are living as roommates instead of a deeply connected couple. Alyssa will do anything to get the intense passion back into her life and marriage, no matter how far out of the box she has to step. 

If there is one thing tattoo shop owner Derek knows, it's that once he set his sights on his wife, he never wanted another woman. Years together haven't begun to put a dent in his desire for her. But everything falls apart when the anguish of loss barges into their lives. Adrift in his own suffering, Derek doesn't realize how damaged his marriage is until his wife forces him to confront their issues. Now, he'll do whatever it takes to get their lives back on track, even if the plan seems outrageous.

Such an Amazing, Unique and Original Storyline!!

A Phenomenal Narration by this dynamic duo that works incredibly well together and has become one of my favorite couples working together. Noah Michael Levine & Erin DeWard delivered an extraordinary performance by bringing Alyssa and Derrick to life.

This is one of those stories that touches your heart, breaks it into million pieces, but in the end put it back together. Is a journey of heartache, emotional devastation put in the end, a will to overcome a painful lost.

This brillinat story is insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw. Is a story like no other and I highly recommend it!!

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Lilly Atlas. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.

Wonderful dual duo narration with story

I can't express in adequate words this second chance romance. Its not your traditional second chance. This couple is married. They drifted apart after tragedy. This distance between them allowed for doubts to be created between this once deeply in love couple. It took effort and time for them to find their way back together after such an event. The doors once closed begin to reopen and healing begins. Alyssa and Derek find their love was one worth fighting for.
As a fan of Lilly Atlas Take No Prisoners series, I found this one to have an additional edge of emotional impact and intensity. I want more from Trident Ink.

Narrators Noah Michael and Erin are most certainly a perfect narrating duo. They do an amazing job. They bring heart, heat, and vivid visualization. Their combined tone, diction, clarity makes for an amazing listen. Their efforts add that extra layer to the story and brings other elements of the sense in to the pleasure of listening.

Terrible

This is anything but sexy. Put me to sleep. Zero stars. Since when does a review require 15 words? All a waste of time.

Where is the 2nd book

This my favorite book yet. Lilly Atlas has done it. You will cry, laugh and smile

too many sad scenes

If you want romance, don't bother. There were too many sad scenes. It was understandable why this couple suffer so much. However, I couldn't finish because life is already hard and sad sometimes, why listen to a sad story to escape?! The performance were awesome but they couldn't save it for me to continue. I thought the writing was good and flow well from the start to the time i stopped.

Amazing

This was such a stunning display of love blooming through pain and grief. Two people held together by affection but fighting through impossible loss finding each other once again in beautiful and painful ways. It made me laugh and tear up and it was just so perfect a second chance for two beautiful and strong people.

Also the duel narration in the audiobook was perfection.

Moving

I’ve read a lot of the authors work and this book took me by surprise; I didn’t read the summarization!of the book before reading it so I had no idea what was happening. It was a heart warming emotional roller coaster that was thoroughly enjoyable.

Good Story

This was a good first story to this series. The first few chapters were hard to listen to. Derek and Alyssa had to endure so much pain that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I'm so glad they were able to overcome the problems standing in there way.

Loved this!

This was not the normal crave at first sight book. It was a more realistic view of what parents could go through following the loss of a child. Great read. Can’t wait until book 2 is available on Audible!

Loved It!!!

What a fantastic audiobook. I want more!!! A very emotional & loving story for sure. You won’t be disappointed.

A Wonder Story of Love and Hope!

This is the first in a new series and deals with a very sad subject. Derek and Alyssa have always been happy and madly in love. Then everything falls apart.
Their daughter Katie dies of cancer, and the couple are devastated, and after both grieving separately they find they have drifted apart.
This is the story of how the couple find their way back to each other.
Alyssa finally decides to try an unusual ways to connect with her husband. This is a very sad story, but is told in dual POV so we realise how the couple work their way back to each other. Alyssa and Derek finally realise how much they still love each other. I have to say the sexy parts are HOT, but you will still need tissues for the sad bits.
This story stayed with me, well after the recording had finished
The Narration is superb with Noah and Erin, who are so versatile they bring this story of hope and love to life.
