Wow, this a fantastic book, the story not only grabbed my attention, it grabbed my heart as well. K.L. Humphreys is a gifted author, she created interesting and original storylines and her characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. I adored the two lead characters, Trent and Michelle, each grew up in a dysfunctional family and had their own inner demons to deal with. Trent attempt at trying to protect his sister cost him five years of his life and his family. He had nothing but then an unexpected friend helps him out and has someone set him up with a job and a place to live. That someone was Michelle, she owns an apartment building and needed a handy man and was asked to help Trent out. She winds up getting more than a handy man, she gets someone who gives her a new lease on life. She has been living her life without really living and Trent draws her out of herself, has her open her eyes to see what she has in life. This is a will written book that is beautifully plotted, the story contains a lot of heartfelt and emotional moments, some heart-rending and gut-wrenching ones too. I loved how everything plays out, how the author brings up the past, brings the past into current times, also loved the surprising and unexpected twists. She also did a great job covering mental health issues, keeping it all real. In addition to a whole lot of heart in this book there is plenty of drama, some mystery, some thrilling suspense and a wonderful romance. I thought Trent and Michelle were perfect together and for each other. These two overcame so much, it shows you that you can not allow an incident or a mistake define you or run your life and ruin it. K.L. Humphreys, thank you for the wonderful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
??? And for the wonderful narration, Steve Campbell and Sara Puckett are awesome narrators and versatile voice artists. They brought these characters to life, humanized them, giving each their own voice and personality. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they capture the characters emotions and project them into their performance. Steve Campbell played Trent’s role with perfection and Sara Puckett did the same for Michelle, they took each role and made it their own. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for this awesome listen?
