EXCERPT:

“Easy, you’re going to be okay.” A soft voice eased through the chaos around him. The owner of the voice grabbed his arms and held them in a firm but gentle grip. “I’m right here with you. You are not alone.” “Can hardly m-move.” His voice slurred. “C-can’t see anything.” “You’ve been in an accident. I’m an EMT with the ambulance squad,” the velvety voice calmly explained. “You can’t see well because we’re under a tarp. Hold still, okay?” “‘K.” A small light flickered at the edge of his vision. It shone into a bag next to him. Penlight. “You’re restrained to a board. It’s to keep your head from moving and causing more injury.” She continued to talk to him. The voice reached down somewhere inside him, calming and peaceful, so he focused on it. A glow from spotlights on the outside lit whatever covered them. The shadow gave the woman the appearance of a halo—like an angel.

REVIEW

Shay is an EMT. She and her partner get a call to show up at a domestic disturbance scene. She is shocked that her husband is there with his mistress. It was both shocking, upsetting and embarrassing to her since her co-worker sees the whole scene unfold. This is basically how the story gets started. Wowzer

Aden & Shay were two amazing characters that you can't help but root for. These are a lot alike in many ways. Both are hardworking, all around good people. Put them together and they are amazing couple that everyone strives to be .

Both Shay & Aden have things they are dealing with but they face them head on in a positive way.

I thought the story started out with a bang really drew me in. I was full of anticipation and excitement. Then Aden is introduced and oh how my expectations were blown. I really liked how these two complicated one another. I also adored that the author brought so much positivity and enjoyment. Highly recommend this one!

Finding comfort in her love of reading, she realized it was now time to follow her dream of writing. It's been a long road but worth every minute of it. Now a published author she also works in a people medical office again.

“Thank you for taking the time to read about me. Each time you open the pages to one of my books I hope you'll be swept away by the story and to, never in the real world give up on hope."
