Raised in the system, Liz Murphy longed for the day that she would have a family of her own to care for, to love.
Happiness is just within her reach when tragedy strikes, ripping everything away, leaving Liz so hopeless and desperate that she attempts the unthinkable….
Braxton Wright cares only for three things: his bars, making money, and his mother. He doesn’t do relationships, stays far away from girls that need anything other than one night. Meeting Liz leaves him conflicted; wanting to know her, to keep her, but scared she will crack the foundation he’s sacrificed so much to build.
As Liz learns to live again, Braxton’s life shatters, leaving him in a million pieces.
Could love be enough to bind two broken people, or will the world succeed in tearing them apart…
Lost love, new friendships and finding a way to live and love again.
I went into this book blind. I did not pay much attention to the synopsis because I just wanted to see what story the author could write. With that being said, I am impressed. From the very start of the book Ms. Zele had me hooked. The reality of this story is spot on.
Liz has gone through something that people should not have to deal with but that is just life. If it were not for her friend Sophie, she would have never made it through. After two years of just existing she meets Braxton (juicy name, I know). Now this is where things just heat up. Braxton being the sexy complicated man that he is a total jerk. But I loved him, I know I am twisted. He has his reasons and they are justified, he is doing what he needs to do to protect himself.
I enjoyed watching Liz become a strong woman after all her heartache. She learned how to face her past and stand up for herself when Braxton reverted back to his dark place. No matter what the out come of the book was going to be I knew that Liz would be just fine.
I am reminded of a couple of lessons that we have been taught one time or more. Never just assume that you can figure out someone, just because you think it does not mean it is true. Assumptions are not what they seem and Braxton learns this lesson.
Overall this book was very good. I was impressed with the characters and the honesty that they gave one another. I was afraid that Braxton and Liz both were going to continue to not share each others story, but when they did it was the right time. When you start from broken, the only way out it to put yourself back together and start over.
