Any book that can leave me in tears deserves 5 stars.
While slow to start, I was quickly drawn into the mystery of Regretting Belle, & her tumultuous love story. An argument penned between 2 books was an exciting storytelling twist that I hadn’t come across before. The emotion was so real I felt as if I was sitting in the room listening to Belle & Hemi.
Ashlyn’s inclusion in the story was perfectly placed, offering respite & light when Belle’s story grew dark. I was thoroughly pleased by the ending and know that this book will linger in my mind for days to come.
