The courage to love again, despite inside and outside scars both seen and unseen!

I loved everything about this book a little bit too short, but I loved it because it showed the bravery that it takes to overcome trauma, whether it be physical or emotional or both and to have the courage to overcome that and to have the courage to love again and find true happiness. This is such a rare thing in today’s society and being a straight woman myself it made me appreciate the love that two women can share or the love that two men can share I’ve always been open and never critical of anyone, but this is really shown a beautiful light on all different types of love and to have the courage to love the person that you wanna be with and to love the person that you are and except you for who you are and to love yourself first before opening up to another person whether that be a man or a woman thank you sincerely Natalina Monti

Characters

I loved this story. One character had physical wounds while the other had emotional wounds. Together they were the perfect match for each other at the right time. Every story does not have to be filled with sex scenes. If you are a true fan of Emily’s you know she can bring the sex scenes. But, this was a nice break. Great love story.
