Please, Soren prayed, I need more than a body. I need Dany Petyr; I need him like the air I breathe. I haven’t felt this alive in years, and now that we’ve found each other, please don’t take him away from me.

Honestly I do not know what to say about this book, it was a fine read but nothing that blew me away and it really didn’t live up to what I wanted it to be. This book got me interested becau ...more

I enjoy second chance romances and the mystery genre has been a favorite of mine since my teens, so this was an enjoyable read for me. The blurb and other reviews give you the synopsis of the book, so I never go over those again; but I will express how much I like the characters of Soren and Dany. They are both likeable guys and of course they both have their own struggles. The story of the mystery is solid with the right amount of twists and turns; and fits well in bringing them together and al ...more
