This novel centres around the relationship of Phoenix and Braeden. They meet strangely in a psychiatric hospital where Phoenix is the patient and Braden works there. Phoenix is dark, she is sad and distant but, there is a ray of sunlight somewhere. Braeden by her side she is able to blossom. I loved how one by one she was able to develop a family with those that helped her at the psychiatric hospital and I honestly felt happy that she was given that gift. In terms of her relationship with Braeden she has her ups and downs but this can only be expected and what blossoms between them is nothing shirt of beautiful.
As for Braeden, I loved him! I knew he was a fantastic match for Phoenix. It is told over a few times there is a likeness between Braeden’s Mother and Phoenix. I was captivated and I have been on a roll with reading some really great stuff, this is one! It didn’t disappoint and kept me glued to the Kindle.
I was pleasantly surprised at the was the author went about some dark things and a deep issue. Very well written with great characters.
