Publisher's Summary:
I proposed on our first date.
She laughed and told me I was insane. Less than a day later, she said yes.
It was a whirlwind, but we were happy.
Until we got greedy and wanted a family.
It was a life I couldn't give her, not for lack of trying. Fertility just wasn't on our side. We sought out doctors and treatments. Spent money we didn't have. Lied to our families. Smiled for our friends. Put on a brave face for a world that didn't understand.
Finally, we were successful.
Until we were forced to bury our son.
We were left broken, battered, and destroyed.
They say love is in the details, but it was the details that ruined us.
This is the story of how I took back what had always been mine.
The retrieval of my wife and our family.
Members Reviews:
Loved this book
I love how captivating this book is! It's interesting to hear both perspectives of thoughts and feelings from Elizabeth and Roman...the past and the present! Can't wait to read book two!!
Woah
I really didn't know what to expect as I didn't read the blurb but someone told me, "I think it's about a couple that had a miscarriage". Imagine my surprise when it was not only so flatly about a couple who had lost a baby, but it was soooo much more.
The love between Elisabeth and Roman was PALPABLE. The alpha manly way that Roman takes his life and his woman back was hot AF. The. There is sooo much more with the side story with Clare. I just had no idea that I would be this sucked into this audio and so incredibly invested in the story. I didn't even want to pause for a review.
Do I even need to mention Jason, Maxine and Andi? We all know they are amazing, we all know they fail at nothing and all they do is win.
hooked
I have had this book for a while and just read it. All I can say is I am hooked on Roman.
Great Book!!!
This was a great book. I had this in my library for a while. Decided it was time to read a new book by an author I had not read before. I did not regret it. I loved the story and the suspense. The narration was excellent!!!!
Won me over!
*3.5 stars, rounded up for a great narrating team*
I don't like to think of myself as a romance snob, but when I see a slew of 5-star reviews full of gifs and squee-ing, I immediately get both grumpy and skeptical.
I know, I know, people are allowed to squee in peace without my judgment, but I've been burned badly by the promise of awesomeness from dozens of fan-girling reviews.
This book had a number of strikes against it. For one, people compared this book to a Kristen Ashley. Now, while I've liked a couple KA books in the past, I've also 1 and 2-starred a whole bunch of them. While lots of people go gaga for an alpha male, a bossy, "I'm always right" kind of guy just makes me want to punch them in the face. Don't get me wrong, I see the appeal of a guy in charge, but more often than not, I just get irritated.
Another thing that made me nervous was that this book was part of a "duet." Cliffhanger endings can go die, and I almost didn't read this book because of that. I really hate a cliffy, but I figured that each half was short enough that if I hated it I would call it quits and bow out early.
Also, this book features an established couple... well, a couple having a second-chance. I don't usually like that in romance books.
