Emotional and unconventional love story
I loved the first book in this series and this one as well! This is Clio book she’s Roderick’s sister from book one. Cleo, Eddie and Barret were once involved but Cleo leaves with no explanation. When Eddie finds her, he devises a plan to rescue her from the monster fiancé who abused her. Cleo is broken, guarded and has nightmares. She has to work through her trauma to relearn to trust again. Through therapy and Eddie and Barret’s patience, consistency and love they prove to Cleo they belong together.
I instantly fell in love with these characters. They’re all broken souls with each of them having trauma that reshaped them which is what makes their connection so special. This book is full of angst, emotion and love. The story is told in all three POV. They love each other fiercely and Eddie as their protector is just so beautiful. He is so patient with Cleo and Barrett. This is a very emotional and heartwarming love story of second chances, reconnection and healing.
This is my second book by Claudia Burgoa and I have quickly fallen in love with her writing style. Her writing just captivates you and keeps you engaged in the story. I still think about this book. I can’t wait for the next one.
I also listened to the audiobook as I read it and I loved narration! Jason Clarke, Lance West and Vivian LaRue just knocked it out of the ball park with this narration! It was just amazing and so heartfelt you can hear and feel the emotions in their voices and into your earbuds as well…
