Publisher's summary

From USA Today best-selling author J.L. Berg, comes a breathtaking story that shows us how love truly can conquer all... even the most damaged of hearts.

Within these walls, he became my solace, my sanctuary, and my strength. I am not strong. I am just a survivor of circumstance. Isn't that what we all do? Survive? Each of us has our own set of circumstances to muddle through. Mine are just more.... complicated.

Born with a severe heart defect, I've seen the inside of a hospital room more than my own bedroom. I was drowning, a prisoner to the illness that owned me, until he appeared. He thinks he's blocked out the world with his tattoos and hard exterior, but I see the real Jude, the one he so desperately wants to forget. But is he the answer to my prayers or will he break my already damaged heart forever?

My name is Lailah Buchanan, and this is our story of hope, redemption, and sacrificing it all for the one you love.

A Heartwarming Story

A great love story with an unexpected twist. Wonderfully narrated by both Felicity Munroe and Gabriel Vaughan. Very satisfying HEA ending that makes you appreciate all the ordinary things in life we all take for granted.

Great Story!!

I love romance stories but this one was even deeper with an underlying message. As much as I enjoy the romance- and the sexy scenes - this story really has a deeper message. 5 stars all the way around. Will check out more of this author.🔥🔥heat

Trigger Warning, but It made me feel better in a w

I cannot lie. I practically about cried the whole book. Sad and happy tears. I wanted to jump in the book myself, if it was possible. I wanted to shake sense into some of the characters. My favorite character is Nurse Grace, she was the best and just reminded me how great nurses can be. I remember telling the doctors that care of me to make sure they kept their nurses happy otherwise their careers would end. They would laugh and say you're right. I even had a talk with a top doctor that came to the hospital to see me. She was so powerful that people was running around like she was famous. I never seen that before. She even shut down a whole floor to use one room for me. Even though my son passed away, I couldn't have felt more blessed to have known all the hard work those people did for me. I didn't have a dime to my name but I got the best service. I can say this much though, their CEO, have done the best for that hospital for 20 years. The best CEO I have ever known. He didn't take away, he learned other ways to update the hospital without taking money away from the employees.

get it if you are on the fence about it

Pros - This is such a sweet story that I really didn't want to end. The characters are likeable and it leaves you feeling a bit better about the world having read it. Cons - A bit Clichet and predictable but well written. There were a few times Jules, the love interest, came across a bit too sarcastic for my taste but I belive the author may have been trying to make him playful and just missed the mark a few times, but for the most part, he is a loveable character. Also, the love scenes are a bit cheesey but I'm sure they are hard to write. Lastly, the author seemed to drop the old man and the little girl, I would have liked to have had them pop in a few times more towards the end, just for consistency. Conclusions, despite the cons list, it is an over-all lovable book and worth the listen. The ending made me cry, and thats hard to do - yeah, it was that moving. I didn't want to say good by to the characters and I hope there is a book 2. If your debating on getting this one or not, go ahead and get it, you won't be disappointed.
