Synopsis:
If Grace Johnson knew one thing
at all, it was that all men were dirtbags.
All men … except Noah Bennet.
“I was lost in his eyes. Lost
in his tears. My goal was to pull him out of the darkness … even if it dragged
me in as well.”
If Noah Bennet knew one thing
at all, it was he needed Grace Johnson.
Needed her … desperately.
“My pain was pulling me under …
she was my only saving grace.”
Grace is willing to put
everything on the line to help bring back the man she is hopelessly in love
with. Even if it costs her the future she’s been longing for.
“If finding you means losing a
part of me … I’ll do it.”

EXCERPT
Jeff and I rode along for a few
minutes in silence. I could hear the river in the distance and I knew we were
getting closer.
Jeff walked his horse up to a tree and
jumped off. Following his lead, I did the same.
“Don’t worry about them. They’ll just
graze on the grass. Follow me; I want to show you something, Noah.”
Doing as he asked, I draped the reins
over the horses shoulder and followed Jeff toward the water. There was a giant
rock that was set back about fifteen feet from the water. Jeff walked over to
it and jumped up on it. It was large enough for at least four men to stand up
there.
Figuring he wanted me to follow, I
climbed up and stood next to him. The view was amazing.
“Wow,” I whispered as I watched the
river meander along its path.
“When I was about your age, I lost my
mother, but not like how you lost your mother. Actually, I lost my mother a
number of years before that.”
Turning to look at him, I asked, “How
did you lose her?”
Jeff continued to look out over the
water as it rushed over rocks. “Alcohol. My father left my mother when my
sister, Ellie, and I were young. My mother couldn’t handle it and turned to
drinking to hide the pain. The problem was, no amount of drinking … or drugs …
could numb the pain.”
My head snapped over to Jeff as our
eyes met. “No sir, it cannot. I turned to alcohol when my mother’s cancer came
back. Spent a number of nights drowning my sorrow in it.”
Not taking his eyes off of me, Jeff
asked, “And what made you stop?”
“Grace. Even though we weren’t
together at the time, I knew she would have been disappointed in me.”
Letting a small smile play across his
lips, Jeff nodded and looked back over the river. “Love will do that. Save you
from the deepest depths of sorrow and pain.”

Review:
*****5 Stars*****
I read this as a stand alone. I have not read the other books leading up to this one. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of information delivered in regards to the characters, being this is part of a series. Although I loved this book I'm sure there is more to this story that has either been uncovered in prior books or will be developed in future books.
Grace is a college girl with goals and dreams to be a business owner along side her roommate and cousin Alex. She is a shell of a person after losing the love of her life, Noah. Noah is the love that up and moved away after being pushed away from Grace. Grace has a past that has kept her guarded. Noah has secrets of his own, and reasons for leaving that are far from Grace and the undoing of their relationship.
In this book there is ups and downs that test the limits of their relationship. This is an emotional book that taps into various life experiences, love, loss, death, addiction, survival, and family.
I would recommend this book to young adult readers. This is an average read length with multiple climax points to the book.
