That one day when a few little words changed our entire lives forever\u2026\u00a0<b>Don\u2019t be Afraid, he said.<\/b>\u00a0Life can change so quickly. One moment you can be smiling and feeling as if you&#8217;re walking on clouds and the next, everything you love, everything you treasure crumbles at your feet. I told him to fight, I told him I needed him. We needed him. But there are just some fights that can&#8217;t be won\u2026 He was my angel then, and he\u2019s still my angel now. In a way, I believe he\u2019s still looking out for us, giving us a future.

Sweet Baby Jesus I am completely destroyed in the most beautiful of ways.<\/p>\n<p>This book is such a simple idea but CA writes it with such depth of emotion if you don\u2019t cry you must be a heartless person! LOL The story is all about love. Pure and simple love. The love of a man and wife. The love of 2 brothers willing to do for each other and their family. The story is about what happens when one person loses the love of their life or the person they consider to be their brother. How do the remaining two continue on without their missing link plus what happens when feelings begin to develop between the remaining people?<\/p>\n<p>Sawyer has had a sad life and when she meets Pat everything clicks for her. She seems to have a golden life with the man of her dreams. When Cancer tears her happily ever after apart she learns to lean on Gage. Gage and Pat have grown up together and are brothers. When Pat asks Gage to watch out for his family. Gage does it because his feels Sawyer is his family too.<\/p>\n<p>The story has me sobbing through most of the beginning of the book. Chapters 14 and 21 had me a hot mess so be warned!! But as the middle to end of the story is being told we are facing life without our Rock Pat but also looking to Gage for MORE. The end of the book throws a few amazing scenes that made my dried eyes begin to leak full force again.<\/p>\n<p>The emotion and depth of story totally knocked me for a loop. I was stunned at how well CA Captured the emotion of each character in the story. The anger Pat felt. The sadness Sawyer felt, and the guilt Gage felt. Such a raw and emotionally gritty story this book is intense so be ready with the tissue. Be ready to have some Tylenol to help with the raging headache you will have from the snot sobbing tears you will be shedding!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/buylinks.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25625\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/buylinks.jpg?resize=474%2C158\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/buylinks.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/buylinks.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3LI4UTh\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25626\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=474%2C158\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u272f&#x2764;\u272fFOLLOW ME\u272f&#x2764;\u272f<\/p>\n<p>FACEBOOK:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AuthorCAHarms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AuthorCAHarms\/<\/a><br \/>\nWEBSITE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.authorcaharms.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/www.authorcaharms.com\/<\/a><br \/>\nTWITTER:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Charms0814\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/Charms0814<\/a><br \/>\nINSTAGRAM:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/authorcaharms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram.com\/authorcaharms\/<\/a><br \/>\nNEWSLETTER:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1xsgHCS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/1xsgHCS<\/a><br \/>\nAMAZON:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/C.A.-Harms\/e\/B00BM5QT9S\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/C.A.-Harms\/e\/B0&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#x2764; One Sizzling Romance at a Time &#x2764;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beautiful, Breathtaking\u00a0An Epic Love Story!
