When it rains it pours….
Hard-nosed and self-reliant Dallis O'Brien has had her fair share of devastation. Her father's tragic accident sparked what seemed like a domino effect of heartbreak and loss. Unable to shake the fear of enduring any more pain, she builds walls around her heart, hoping to heal on her own.
Dallis' road to recovery is disrupted when she meets Grayson Rivera, a tattooed, coffee shop owner who, by appearances alone, isn't her typical match. Stubborn and hesitant to let him in, Dallis finally succumbs to Grayson's persistence, where he challenges her to face her loss while also having the walls of her heart broken down.
With Grayson's assistance, Dallis must decide if she is willing to learn how to be weak in order to be strong.
***********
At first I didn't know who I liked or who I hated~ first I was loving Colby and wondering why Dallis was being such a bitch then it all became clear. It was sad seeing Dallis go through such loss and knowing all that she was doing was not helping her in any way. When Grayson walks into her life Dallis can't deny the "Spark" they have but she fights it tooth and nail. Learning they have more in common that she could have imaged he slowly breaks down her walls and helps her live again. That doesn't mean they ride off into the sunset because Dallis' past creeps up on her - or what she thought was her past. A few hot sex scenes- nothing to raunchy or graphic. Great ending.
Quotes:
"Okay, stay that way, but I'll tell you this. If you keep shitting around, you're going to lose something really good that's staring you in the face. And he literally stares you in the face."
"when your heart craves something, it's a real son of a bitch to try and keep it from getting what it wants."
About the Author:
Just a book reading, writing loving, mommy and USMC wife! :)
I love to write, even if it isn't what is conventional and makes everyone feel giddy inside. I usually pull from dreams, or ideas that just thrust themselves into my head. I have what some would describe as a dry sense of humor, and I think its conveyed in my writing. I like to think I am a kick ass chick, but I can also be sensitive. I'm learning to grow thick skin, and in this field, it is definitely needed!
I won't put anything out that I am not absolutely proud of, but like E.L. James said, "I can't own people's reactions to it." Thanks for reading my work... I do appreciate it!
