⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5

Calla just wants to find someone that loves her and will show her what love is. She’s attracted to Jace, her brother in-laws’ best friend, but she’s also afraid of him.

Jace has been attracted to Calla since the first time he saw her in the diner on Christmas Day. He knows she’s afraid of him, but he does his best to make himself appear smaller and not as intimidating as she sees him.

I enjoyed this story, although it is tragic, the build to the relationship between these two is great. Calla has suffered a tragic childhood and has to find her strength within to move on and find a path of love in her future. After the abuse she’s suffered, it takes a lot for her to put herself in a position where she can have her heart shredded, but Jace proves that he is worth it. Jace is a man that wants to show Calla that she is not damaged and that she is loved and worth the love that her sister and father have for her. She has to find a way to move on and Jace wants her to open up and be truthful with her family. I liked the characters and the strength that they find within themselves and the love they have to give. I give this story a 4.5-star review.
