Publisher's Summary

From USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a passion- and angst-charged story about a woman caught between a secure relationship and a once-in-a-lifetime spark with her muse.

They say first loves are oftentimes the end of one’s innocence.

Those words couldn’t ring truer for Everlynne Lawson, whose first brush with romance came with a heartbreak…and the thing that seems to follow her everywhere she goes. Death.

After a great tragedy, Everlynne loses all she cares about—her dreams, her family, and her soulmate, Joe.

Guilt-ridden, Everlynne decides to isolate herself in Salem, Massachusetts. A shell of the woman she once was, she takes her days one at a time, careful not to allow herself the joy she believes others in her life were robbed of. But when the mysterious, handsome Dominic storms into her life, it becomes more difficult to stay in solitude. Dominic is different: adventurous, joyous, with lust for life and a passion to make her his.

Everlynne is on the cusp of reinventing herself once again when the old wounds of her past are resurrected, rawer than ever. There is nothing worse than being in love with two men.

Especially when one of them hates you.

An astonishingly Beautiful story

I downloaded to listen, but as I got further into the story, the narrator didn't really suit the character, so I purchased the book for my kindle.
this books is well written, well researched to create a very beautiful story.

highly recommend this book to anyone that will listen

It was OK

I am usually a big fan of Shen's writing, but this one fell flat. The first part of the book was so boring I nearly stopped listening. It did pick up with some suspenseful moments so I kept listening, but i was quickly able to predict the story, that was a let down... The herione was not to my liking at all. She was a borderline doormat, accepting everything as her fault and going around and around in circles. I mean, I get she was dealing with grief, but come on, stop running. oh and the icing on the cake was the Hero who supposedly loves the herione but is OK with allowing lies that harm the herione, he, sleeps around and tells the herione that he won't wait around for her -
Too many eye roll moments
Definitely feel I wasted a credit 🙃

No the best of the collection

Very poor narrating, voice wasn't consistent and the male voice sounded like a child
