“This is the first book by Alexandra Benedict that I have read and I'll definitely be reading her backlist. In fact, I have already loaded the first 2 books in this series onto my Kindle.
Our h/h were 2 very angst-ridden characters. Both of them had very traumatic events in their pasts that had tremendous impact on their feelings and attitudes. There were some very gut-wrenching scenes in this book that, I admit, had me in tears on a few occasions. Adam was especially weighed down by guilt and blamed himself for his wife's death and for his estrangement from his brother. Evie was unable to trust because of betrayals by people who should have protected her. The fact that these 2 were able to survive and overcome their traumatic pasts is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
The book was well-written and kept my attention. I'll be keeping an eye out for future books by this author.”
