Beautiful Life

Beautiful Life

Brynne Asher2018
Webster's defines to heal as "to make healthy, whole or sound; restore to health, free from ailment." But Webster's also defines to heal as "to free from evil; cleanse; purify: to heal the soul." My soul is shattered. I'm one hell of a mess because I need both and I don't know how both can possibly happen. Sure, I know my body will heal. I understand the science of healing, it's my profession. But I sense the ache in my heart and fear in my head will never heal. Can I ever recover from losing an unborn child at the hands of my abusive husband? Will I ever learn to think for myself again? No, I've been trained to fear those who are supposed to love me, conditioned to watch my every move and word so as to not suffer the consequences. I don't think being healed will ever be a possibility for me. Or I didn't until Tony Carpino fixated himself in my life. Tony is patient. Determined. He knows exactly what I need even before I do. He's wants to give me everything, make my life beautiful when my life has always been ugly. But as perfectly determined and patient as he is, I don't know if I can ever be whole again. It doesn't matter how long I've wanted him...and I've wanted Tony Carpino for a long time. This is a story of heartache and broken souls. A story of being exactly what the one you love needs when they need it, even if it goes against every being of your nature. Because love isn't love unless it's selfless. Can Tony love Leigh enough to heal the demons that haunt her broken soul and have the woman he missed out on years ago? This is a love story. This is the story of Tony and Leigh.

Check out this and my other reviews at My Blog, Facebook, Google+, Twitter and Pinterest Copy received by author in exchange for an honest review ★Book Basics★ Genre : - Cont Romance Series : - 2nd in the series Love triangle? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] Cheating? - (view spoiler)[No (hide spoiler)] HEA? - (view spoiler)[Yes (hide spoiler)] Would I read more by this author/or in this series? - yes Rating - 4 stars ★Review★ Hard to take to start (her ex is a git), but once it moved on, it was just heart-warmingly beautiful. It was a story of recovery and a second chance at what should have been. I think I read the vast majority of this with just a lovely warm feeling in my heat over how Tony was. He was a truly great hero and perfect for Leigh. I really enjoyed the first book in the series, and enjoyed this one as much. And the characters were not carbon copies, this author can write different couples with different strengths and personalities. A highly recommended 4 stars.
