This book was a great read.. From the first couple of words on the page I could not put it down. With vivid details and some cliffhangers the secrets, love, and understanding that comes through this book is truly remarkable.

Syd has a past that we aren't prived to at first. From the beginning we are left wondering how she became the woman she is homeless on the street and so cut off from human touch or emotion. A chance encounter with Viv who works at the local diner gives her the opportunity she needs to get back on her feet and turn her life around. But will she be able to trust herself and the people that have come to love her or will she continue running because she feels that she doesn't deserve to be loved.

Gunnar very direct and handsome was smitten with Syd from the start. From saving her from a fire to becoming her night in shinning armor these two have chemistry like no other. He opens his heart and his children to her and she proves that she is the sweet loving person he always knew she was. Only if he could understand her and her past which happens when she decides to let her guard down and a chance encounter with her parents.

I wish this book didn't end. The more and more I read the more and more I fell in love with all the characters on the pages. Sequel maybe?!

Wow, this book is one intense read and well worth it. This is the first book that I have read by Freya and I am so glad I took a chance after reading the blurb.

Be warned as this book will draw you in from the first page and take a hold of you and not let go until you have finished every last page.

We meet Syd, who is a the lowest time of her life, living on the streets, with a cold shack to call home. In a chance meeting she meets someone that takes and chance on her and gives her a job at the Skipper a local pub only yards from the shack.

Here Syd meets Gunner, a pure alpha male and we see things develop between them throughout the story.

What we have here is a book where it tells a story of survival against all odds, of loss so severe that you will fall in to the depths of an abyss. But also a story of a woman who finds a new family and claws her way to happiness, even though at times she feels unworthy. A story of acceptance no matter what your past is.

This is a heart-warming read, where at times you will be reaching for the tissues. A book that is truly a work of art, with a gripping storyline. If I was able to, I would give this read more than five stars.

This is one read that I recommend to read 100%
