(This is the first book I paid money for on my kindle!)
Spoilers-
Oh wow. I can't actually believe this ended with her going back to him and having his children. I'm sorry, even though I have a child to my partner, if that had happened to me and I found out it was him, whether he remembered it, or saved me from death, I'd either murder him or turn him in. Probably just the jail thing, I'm not that brutal! I mean, I love him, but I don't think you could actually get over that. I mean, how do you explain that to your parents? Your children? "So daddy raped me and took my virginity when I was 16, so he could join a gang, but they planned on killing me so I guess that's okay"........... I'd probably rather die! I don't know, I've never been in that position, just seems odd to forgive after a month of finding out. And to have had a kid growing in you about 5ish years later, I mean how do you move on to get that intimate, to the point you marry and try for babies? Seems odd to me!

I found the occasional switch from first to third person to be annoying and I wish the whole book had been written in first but other than that and the repetitive writing it was an interesting book.

I received a finished copy in exchange for an honest review from the author. It does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Full Review on Brianna's Bookish Confessions.
This was such an emotional, dark read. It covers a touchy subject that can often be difficult to write about in a book… That topic being rape. Our main character, Megan at 16 years old was brutally raped and left for dead. 7 years later and gone through countless therapists who can’t seem to bring the intimacy she wants, looks one last time. Her new therapist is ex-Marine, Declan. He truly wants to help those that come into his office. He too has struggled through a lot in the past and he wants to bring that help to others. But as truths come out and dark secrets are uncovered, it may not be something that can be fixed for Megan and Declan… But can they make it work?
I did catch on towards the beginning what was going to happen later in the book but didn’t think it was actually going to happen. When it did happen I was still extremely shocked that it was true. This was such a beautiful read despite what all these 2 characters have gone through in their lives. I did feel I couldn’t fully connect with the characters. It is told mostly through Declan’s point of view, but kind of as if a ghost was following him around narrating his thoughts.
I really enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to more of D.C.’s books! :)

Loved it! Well written. Without sharing spoilers since the book is not out yet I will say that the twist in the story had me freaking out. I had no idea how the author was going to fix what happened and I did not see it coming at all which is why I am giving this book a 5 star rating. The author really surprised me, I thought there was no way the situation could get resolved and things could be ok between the main characters. But of course the author managed to surprise me.
The story had romance, mystery and will give you many emotions. I was happy and sad and angry and shocked (very shocked). The author makes you believe maybe it was this person, then you think no, it was this other person and then BAM, the big shock.
A little bit about the story:
Megan is a young woman that has gone trough a very bad ordeal, she was raped when she was just a teenager and never really recovered. Declan is a therapist. She gets referred to Declan after being with many therapists and never really getting better. Declan helps her get through her fears. They start developing feeling towards each other and many things happen... I won't give any more details but the story is really good.
Characters are likable. HEA ending.

4.5 (but since I can't do .5s it was still more than a 4)
I don't think I've been this anxious while reading a book in a long time. I wanted to skip through the book to see what would happen, and then I would start thinking about what I thought was going to happen. But nonetheless this was such a good book! Thank you so much DC Renee for sending me this truly heartbreaking, yet amazing book!
