Loading... Heaven and Hellby Kristen Ashley
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. This made me cry and to me that's a sign of a book that really hits the spot. In a way I suppose it was a fairly 'standard' story of a woman who's had a shocking first marriage who finds someone marvellous for her second relationship. The relationship doesn't go completely smoothly but it ends up with a HEA. Put like that it doesn't sound that spectacular but I think it's most definitely worth the read and I'm pretty certain I'll be revisiting it. Listened to audo narrated really well by Felicity Monroe. Kia was in an abusive marriage until her husband was caught cheating and got his head blown off, leaving Kia with a very large insurance settlement. Her deceased husband took out an insurance policy on her and him in order to kill her and get a large cash payout. Kia has crushed on Sam for years and runs into him while vacationing in Europe. She's shy and has flashbacks but Sam is determined to have her and teach her to be fearless. There is a good chunk of the story where Sam keeps Kia at a distance and she knows it and keeps taking his crap, it was very frustrating to read and it drove me nuts listening to her take it. Enjoyed the epilogue, knowing how their future played out. I have no words.... It spoke to my heart. Thank you OMG, I could not put this book down! It is very long, but keeps you with it the whole story. I loved both main characters and the different settings in the book. The storyline was constantly moving forward at a believe pace. no reviews | add a review

I just couldn't get in to it.
I gave it three starts as it's KA and she can write but I know others who loved it but it just didn't connect with me. (
