Raised in the system, Liz Murphy longed for the day that she would have a family of her own to care for, to love.
Happiness is just within her reach when tragedy strikes, ripping everything away, leaving Liz so hopeless and desperate that she attempts the unthinkable….
Braxton Wright cares only for three things: his bars, making money, and his mother. He doesn’t do relationships, stays far away from girls that need anything other than one night. Meeting Liz leaves him conflicted; wanting to know her, to keep her, but scared she will crack the foundation he’s sacrificed so much to build.
As Liz learns to live again, Braxton’s life shatters, leaving him in a million pieces.
Could love be enough to bind two broken people, or will the world succeed in tearing them apart…

I'm
going to start my review by thanking Ms Zele, this is one of the most
powerful and heartbreaking (then heart-warming) stories that I've
read in a long time! The leading lady, Liz Murphy, was used to being
alone and feeling unloved so, of course, she grew up longing for a
family of her own, she met her husband and her little world was
perfect....until his life was cruelly cut short and Liz was all alone
again with only her best friend Sophie to support her. She then
decided that nothing was worth the pain so she retreated into a grief
stricken shell where nothing seem possible...so she attempted to end
it all. Sophie decided that she wouldn't let Liz wallow in her
depression anymore so drags her slowly back to life...enter Braxton!
Braxton
was also operating in self-destruct mode, with a long string of
meaningless one night encounters and working towards a full
breakdown. There was only one woman that mattered to him and she was
his sole focus. He had no time to even entertain the thought of a
relationship.
This
book was written in an educated and emotive fashion. I adored the
secondary characters (Sophie and Travis) they provided the much
needed softer side to the story. I find myself in a bit of a quandary
here...I'm in love with the story and the characters, its
exceptionally well written and the internal narratives provided by
both characters gave you a greater insight into their feelings. Here
lies the problem...How on earth with Zele manage to top this with her
next novel!!!
5
stars!! If I could award more here...I would! very well done Ms Zele!
