Loneliness is overwhelming in its intensity.
There are times you think you can cope, that you can make it despite the hollow feeling in your chest. Then there are the times when you realize you can’t breathe through the pain of loss.
When Gable Buchanan Carter walks into Athena’s life, it’s like a light is switched on inside her chest. Suddenly she can breathe.
But just as much as she wants him, Gable just as much wants nothing to do with her.
It’s like a cold stab of ice right to the gut at the knowledge that the person you want, that you love, wants nothing to do with you.
At least, that’s what she thinks.
In reality, Gable wants Athena Grace Murphy with every piece of his soul.
But how can he confidently say he’s doing the right thing by bringing her into his life when it’s so dangerous? She’s already lost every person she loves, how can he put her through the possibility of losing one more?
That’s right, he can’t.
So he’ll stay away from her. Even if it kills him.
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 Gable and Athena. I was so excited to get this book and immediately dove into it. He fell from her the moment he met her. I love a instalove that feels very real and this one does. However, he is a lot older than she is. He also is of the opinion that he is not good enough for someone like Athena. Athena is quirky and smart as all get out. She also is loyal and loves fiercely. She has known so much loss in her life. She has lost her entire family except for her mother. Death is nothing new to her, sadly. However, all of this has made her mother so overprotective that it is driving her crazy. She needs some space and to be able to live her life out from under the protective wings of her mother. Athena has had a crush on the much older Gable for a very long time. However, he never gives her any signal that he is the least bit interested in her. All she can do is try. And try she will. I loved reading this story. I don’t want to give away a thing that happens in this book. I fell so hard for these characters. They are absolutely amazing and you fall for them as they fall for each other. There is a lot going on in this book. Twists and turns you will not see coming. You do not want to miss this book
