In an emotional, thought-provoking journey filled with secrets and regret, a young woman has a second chance at love after abuse. Emma Marshall is haunted by the trauma of her past. The night she ended her engagement to cheating fiancĂ©, Beaux, was meant to be the night she took back control, but it was only the beginning of his true hold over her. Nine months after suffering an intimate assault by the man who pledged his life to her, Emma is doing - okay. At least, that's what everyone thinks. No one knows the unspeakable truth of what happened between her and Beaux. It's a secret Emma plans to carry to the grave, until Julian Cole moves in next door and opens Emma's mind and heart to the possibility of love after betrayal. As the reporter and music executive grow closer in the music-filled city of New Orleans, Emma must risk everything to protect her newfound happiness. As Emma embarks on a dangerous journey to bring her ex to justice, the bounds of forgiveness are tested as more unspeakable truths come to light. Will Emma overcome her trauma and have her second chance at love? Or, will her past destroy her and everyone she holds dear? Trigger Warnings: sexual assault/ rape (depicted), self-harm (referenced), abortion (discussed)… (more)

This was a surprising read but a good surprise! The plot is fast paced and entertaining! I liked the author's writing style and the descriptions of New Orleans were great! Both Julian and Emma were great characters and seeing them heal together was one of my favorite parts. Emma's strength and determination to make sure her ex got what he deserved was nice. The story is emotional and heartbreaking but full of hope. I must warn you though, don't start this book in the evening like I did because the next thing you know it will be 3:30am and you still won't be able to put it down!

Thank you Insta Book Tours and Emily A. Myers for sharing the amazing book with me!

I read this book in a matter of several hours. This book is very character driven and therefore, it is important that the characters in the story are engaging, and readers can connect to them. Thus, it really helped when as a reader, I became very connected emotionally to Emma and Julian. They both were broken but with each other, they slowly are finding their way to take their lives back and to trust again.

Why the topics in this book are tough to discuss and could be triggers for some readers, they are very important topics. It was really good to see Emma stand up and face these issues. She remained strong even when it was hard. I do look forward to reading the second book to this duet to see how it all ends. ( )
