New adult romance original, disturbing and causing a tornado of emotions. This difficult history we have delivered no frills with a realism which offends the sensitivities but also touches the heart. Aubrey Maxx and the trials are credible and we share their distress, crisis, grief, attraction and desire with ease. If it had not been for a swim or to hinder some redundancies my reading, it would have been a favorite. I believe in full on a little reading
