Come to Me Softly by A.L. Jackson
4.0
4 1/2 stars
A.L. Jackson continues to amaze me with her writing. This author has a way of sucking me in and making me feel Every. Single. Emotion. After reading this book I was a emotional wreck. I couldn't sleep and was in a book hangover for days. Jackson continues to grow as a writer. Her books make you think and you learn some valuable life lessons along the way.
The book picks right where we left off in CTMQ. Jared makes his intentions clear for Aly. He keeps his word and treats Aly like the Queen she is but all isn't well. Jared is hurting so bad and trying so hard to pretend that everything is okay. It was clear to everyone he wasn't okay and needed to get help. Aly is such an amazing woman. She has never given up on Jared even when others felt he was a lost cause. Jared refusal to deal with the past causes some intense moments between him and Aly. I was so torn while reading because I wanted Jared to get the help he needs but I understood his fear. I was so relieved Jared was able to come to terms with his past. He blamed himself for so many years. He was just a kid who made a mistake and felt he should suffer for the rest of his life. The reunion with him and his father at the mothers grave site tore my heart out. I actually had to stop reading at that point and take a breather. I'm glad Jared was able to get some much needed closure.
Anyone who reads this book will not be disappointed. Jackson's writing just keeps getting better and better! I can't wait for the next book in this series!!
