I shouldn’t be alive.
I should’ve died in that plane crash.
Instead, I survived.
Thrived, even.
After all, I’m a rock star and a billionaire. There’s nothing I can’t buy.
Nothing, except peace.
And when it all comes crashing down around me...The guilt.
The pain.
The sorrow.
That’s when she appears.
The one woman I’m not allowed to love.
I needed her to fill the void after everything was lost. There she was, ready, and grieving too.
Both of us are broken, shattered people.
So why does she make my heart want to beat again? I need a new reason to keep breathing.
And I think that reason—is her.

MY IMPRESSIONS OF THIS BOOK:

The best books pull you in from the very first page, and with each turn of the page, invest you in the characters through every up and down they're subjected to.  Ms. Burgoa does exactly that with this angst-fueled tale of two people whose lives become entwined from an early age and who get put through the wringer on their way to adulthood.

Brahms Ehrenberg & Seraphina St. Clairmont are the stars of this story and they form a strong connection the moment they meet.  Fast friendships and deep bonds were immediately formed in a heartfelt journey that ultimately led to a heartbreaking accident that pulled these bonds apart at the seams.  A love that was just starting to shine too unfortunately gets put asunder due to outside forces.

For years these two remained apart with Brahms, because of such devastating losses, going to a very dark place that had me aching for him.  Things take an even more emotional turn for him when another accident leads him to Seraphina's healing doorstep where years of secrets and lies finally see the light of day in a rollercoaster ride to HEA.

Brahms is a sexy hero whose soul-deep hurts pulled me into his life completely.  Along with the glitz of the rock star life came the lows of loss, loneliness, and addiction.  Ms. Burgoa pulled no punches in the depiction of all he went through and it makes for a more richly rewarding story as he earned the HEA he worked hard to achieve.  Seraphina's a strong heroine who's had her own difficulties with her father's life and death leaving her emotionally and financially in dire straits that Brahms's brother uses to convince her to let Brahms back into her life.  This is a couple that were always meant to be together as their connection was too strong to ignore.

This is a second chance romance with a couple that I quickly became invested in.  They got put through the wringer, both emotionally and physically, in a page-turning ride full of secrets and lies.  This is a beautifully crafted tale that pulled at the heartstrings.  From a childhood friendship to a love that never died, I was rooting for them through every up and down they went through.  Surrounding this epic couple was Brahms's brother who I long to see more of in the future.  The epilogues in this book were also wonderful!  Family letters and glimpse of the future act as a healing balm to leave readers happy and satisfied after all the darkness that came before.

My rating for this is an A.

*I got this book from the author for review in exchange for my honest opinion.
