Read all triggers. This book comes with a punch in the first part of the book. If you're not ready, you won't be able to get through it. What I loved about this book is what the characters gained and learned from their hard experience. It wasn't easy for them but the story does not disappoint for me at all. I need more time to eat up what I read to give a better review.

I seem to fly through Jennifer Hartmanns books so there must be something about them and like her other books this one is dark, gritty and uncomfortable but I found it very hard to put down.

I enjoyed it but wasn't in love with it like I was with the wrong heart. 

I really liked Dean, he was a great main character and I feel like Hartmann writes males so well. However, I didn't connect as well with Cora.

I will definitely continue to read her books as I really enjoy her writing, the tension building and her main male characters.
