Carrie Ann Ryan

On the week that I’ve been listening to TTPD on an incessant loop, this book truly hits in the feels. (send help)

The author seems to funnel her experience with grief and loss into this amazing story and weave something beautiful. As with any of her books, it runs the gamut. Dealing with trauma, laughter, family camaraderie, intrigue, and some danger, even a reference to my favorite animated movie, Emperor’s New Groove!

Both Ridge and Aurora (named for the Disney princess) have experienced traumatic losses. While Aurora is taking steps to move past (not to forget) her loss, Ridge takes the male-coded “stuff it down deep” approach. As they give into their sizzling attraction (that kitchen scene!) and become closer, will they find their HEA while still honoring their pasts, or will a threat from the past take that from them? If you’re a reader of Carrie Ann Ryan, you know the answer to that so enjoy the journey. I certainly did.
