Dixie + Mary
Dixie met Mary in a bar in the middle of nowhere. He knew the moment she served him “whatever the hell she wanted to” that she was the one.
That day, he takes her from her abusive life and gives her everything she’s ever wanted.
For thirty-one years, they’re married. For thirty-one years, he worships the ground she walks on. For thirty-one years, she makes him the happiest man on the planet.
They have babies. They lose babies. They laugh and they love. They’ve fought and they’ve struggled.
But nothing prepares him for the day she leaves him. The day that his life ends, and he goes on existing, waiting for the day that he can join her again.
Join Dixie as he remembers the love of his life in this heartbreaking story that speaks of love and loss and finally, a happily ever after.
Jeremiah + Merriam
Jeremiah Dixon has a way with words.
In the professional hockey world, he’s known as Mr. Suave. The man who always says the right thing and can charm the pants off of anyone.
Of course, when a damsel in distress falls into his arms after practice, he can’t stop himself from pursuing her. Who wouldn’t instantly fall in love with a woman who looked like Merriam Kennedy did?
She was beautiful, fierce, and everything he’s ever wanted in a woman.
They fall in love with each other over wings and beer. But before he can get her number, she leaves and takes his heart with her.
As luck would have it, he runs into her a few days later. She’s still as beautiful as ever, with a sizable bruise on her face and defeat haunting her eyes.
He tries to break through her walls, but she’s adamant that she can make it on her own.
Until, that is, her abusive father threatens her baby girl. Then she has no other choice but to run into a blizzard on Christmas Eve to escape him. And she knows just where to go.
To him. Jeremiah Dixon—the man that her heart and soul know is the one meant to fix all the broken things inside of her.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the story of Mary and Dixie. Dixie is a man who found his one true love. This man loved Mary with is whole entire being. A once in a lifetime love and he was thankful for every single moment that the two of them shared. Dixie is a man that every woman would be thankful to have in their life and there is just no way that you can’t fall for the man. This is his love story with Mary. I will warn you that your going to cry. Well cry might not be the right word for it. Sobbing is more like it. I haven’t cried that hard reading a book in a long time. Their story is as beautiful as it is heart wrenching and so worth reading.
Then you get to dive into Jeremiah and Merriam’s story. Jeremiah is a hockey star who has a very painful past. Merriam is a single mom who is trying to escape her abusive father. I love the moment that we get to see between Jeremiah and Anleigh. Holy cow, talk about melting your heart. They are adorable together. When these two meet he knows from the moment he sees the both of them that they belong to him. In his heart and his life and he will make sure that these two have the wonderful life that they deserve but have not known.
The best of both worlds in one book. You get your heart ripped out and then fall in love with a HEA in the second story. This is a book that you do not want to miss.
