Sometimes
the past bleeds into the future.
Bess, a
wild party girl running from herself, literally falls victim to her demons when
she collapses in the most unexpected of places.
Lane, a
tightly wound, up-and-coming CEO who can’t seem to stop enabling his brother,
doesn’t know what hit him when Bess falls at his feet and into his life.
It was a
night she doesn’t remember, and one he can’t forget.
But
rather than stay and help the needy college coed, Lane decides to teach his
brother a long overdue lesson––a decision that later comes back to haunt him
and only adds fury to the transgressions of his past he is already fleeing
from.
Years
later, Bess and Lane meet again. She doesn’t know him, and he doesn’t share
that he knows what happened on that ill-fated night when she almost died. After
all, he has a web of complicated lies from his own youth to protect.
Both are
seeking salvation in the arms of others and ignoring the truth—that the only
road to redemption lies in confronting your past.
When the
past and present collide, is there any chance at redemption?
Another hit series for Rachel Blaufeld. I instantly feel for both Bess and Lane and the struggles they were holding onto in their pasts.
Bess was the party girl who lost herself to drugs, alcohol and men. Lane was the brother trying to keep his brother out of trouble, only digging a deeper hole for the two of them. Lane was at the right place and right time to save Bess. But when he put her into an ambulance to fend for herself, the guilt was eating away at him, even years later.
Bess has no clue that Lane was the one who saved her that fateful night. So when he shows back up in her life, she feels a connection but has no clue as to what it is or most importantly why.
Lane and Bess are emotional and raw. You feel their pain, their fears, their joys and sorrows. Rachel makes you feel every feel in the best possible way, giving you a full on experience leaving you wanting more.
5 stars
Rachel Blaufeld is a social worker/entrepreneur/blogger turned author. Fearless
about sharing her opinion, Rachel captured the ear of stay-at-home and working
moms on her blog, BacknGrooveMom, chronicling her adventures in parenting
tweens and inventing a product, often at the same time. She has also blogged
for The Huffington Post, Modern Mom, and StartupNation.
Turning
her focus on her sometimes wild-and-crazy creative side, it only took Rachel
two decades to do exactly what she wanted to do—write a fiction novel. Now she
spends way too many hours in local coffee shops plotting her ideas. Her tales
may all come with a side of angst and naughtiness, but end lusciously.
Rachel
lives around the corner from her childhood home in Pennsylvania with her family
and two dogs. Her obsessions include running, coffee, icing-filled doughnuts,
antiheroes, and mighty fine epilogues.
