About this ebook

Three months after his rescue from an abusive boyfriend, twenty-two-year-old Romy Myers has landed his first legitimate job—bussing tables at his friend's new coffee shop. The job has brought him some stability after years of abuse have left him feeling damaged and broken. He's working hard on his panic and social anxiety, and those things are often tempered by the big, burly presence of Brendan Walker.

From the moment ex-football player Brendan helped rescue Romy from his ex's abuse, he's wanted to protect him. And he does, from a distance, with joking text messages, a new gym routine to toughen him up and a genuine friendship. So far it's been easy—but Brendan's feelings aren't just friendly anymore…

When an argument spirals out of control, a hot and heavy make-out session causes Romy's friendship with supposedly straight Brendan to reach a new level. The last thing Romy wants is to fall for another guy who could potentially shatter him, but Brendan also wakes up a part of him he thought had been destroyed by violence—his heart.

I finished this book even faster than the second one! This whole series has been amazing, but Romy and Brendan and their story stole my heart and were the perfect ending to the series. I loved it! I honestly wished there was more. I never wanted to stop reading about them. They're what survival, perseverance, and honest true love are about. Finding your person and fighting for them and each other every day. Healing, loving and just being there through tough battles that we don't always share with others. Will definitely be checking out the author's other stories

This was an amazing book, I wonder what the future holds for Brenden and Romy? Will he get well? Does Brenden graduate college? Does Romy get his GED? Do they marry? Does Brenden's family accept them, does the brother in-law come around?

About the author

A.M. Arthur was born and raised in the same kind of small town she likes to write about, a stone's throw from both the ocean and generational farmland. She's been writing stories in her head since she was a child and scribbling them down nearly as long. When not exorcising the voices in her head, A.M. can be found in the kitchen experimenting with food and trying not to poison herself or others.
