Synopsis
New York Times bestselling author Claudia Connor follows up her heartfelt debut, Worth the Fall, with a novel about Matt’s brother, Stephen—and when a McKinney brother falls in love, powerful emotion and overwhelming desire are never far behind.
Two hearts locked away . . . Hannah Walker spends her days coaching children through injury and trauma, one therapeutic horseback ride at a time. She knows all too well how violence can change a child and leave scars that never heal. It’s easy for her to relate to the kids; what isn’t easy is the thought of facing her own harrowing past.
Millionaire playboy Stephen McKinney could use a little coaching himself. Five years ago he encountered his most horrible nightmare—and the nightmare won. No matter what he achieves, nothing can make up for that awful night . . . or so he believes.
Both desperate for a second chance . . . Stephen is used to getting what he wants. And he wants Hannah. So when she turns him down, he’s intrigued. What he doesn’t know is that her secrets will lead him to a place he never wanted to go again . . . to a side of himself he’s tried to forget . . . a side that would scare Hannah away from ever loving him. Now his only chance to win her trust is to bare his soul, risking everything he tried so hard to protect.
Review
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
This was an emotional sweet read about two people whose lives have been ripped apart by incidents of extreme violence. Together they may just end up finding their way back into the light again.
Hannah has been living a closeted life since the attack that left her badly scarred. With four over-protective brothers, she is not likely to be able to start living any time soon. But when Stephen enters her life, he makes her feel alive and able to take a chance.
Stephen has had his own breed of heartache, which has had him living in the darkness lashing out at those around him and drowning his sorrows in alcohol. When he meets Hannah, he first sees her as a challenge because she doesn't fall all over him. Later it is because he genuinely finds himself falling the enigma that is Hannah.
This is such a beautiful story of heartbreak but also of love making us stronger and bringing us out of the darkness and into the light. With lots that both need to overcome and with plenty out to put a wedge between them and their blossoming relationship, this was a fast paced emotional read that you will want to read in one sitting. I will definitely be reading more by Claudia Connor.
