Review # 1 was written on 2015-04-14 00:00:00 Cary Anderson 3 1/2 Stars ~ Maggie Cox's debut with Harlequin is an emotional story of a young woman recovering from an abusive marriage. Her husband had swept her off her feet when she'd barely began her college courses in Fine Art. Megan had given up her dream of becoming an artist and slowly Nick had worn away all sense of her self worth. He'd controlled every aspect of her life, pushing her into a dull boring job, and belittling her every effort to think for herself. After nine years, he'd gone too far, and in a drunken stupor he'd pushed her down the stairs, leaving Megan forever maimed in one leg. It was her friend Penny who'd come to her rescue and seen that she got the medical attention she needed, and had taken her into her own home, where Megan finally set about divorcing the bastard. It's a year now since Nick, and Penny still can't seem to bring Megan back into the light. Reading an advert for art tuition as therapy, Penny insists that Megan give it a try. Kyle is a world renown artist but he's finding the society lifestyle jaded and so he sets on a new path. When he answers the door to Megan, he's immediately taken by her beauty, and suddenly finds his protective instincts roaring up when he sees how nearly broken her spirit is. He pushes her to confide her secrets and a deep rage fills him at her ex-husband's cruelty. It's when he puts a paint brush into her hands and leaves her with a blank canvas and a complete paint pot, that he truly sees the passionate woman crying to emerge. From the first pages, I found myself emotionally involved with Ms. Cox's Megan. Even in her most cowering moments, her spirit wanted to fight back. Kyle has a need to protect her and a tremendous desire to make love to her, show her how precious she really is. While he's prepared to protect her always, he's smart enough to let her go when she insists that she needs to be able to look after herself. Lovely HEA, and I loved the epilogue. 3 1/2 Stars ~ This is my second reading of Ms. Cox's debut. My first reading was in 2015. This story is emotional and heart wrenching. Megan's rebirth to the young vibrant woman she had once been is down to Kyle's tender coaxing and his need to protect her. From the moment they meet, they are propelled on journey of insatiable passion and everlasting love.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-17 00:00:00 Steven Dong A lovely story, a tortured heroine that gradually learns to stand on her feet and a great hero, whose love for the heroine shines through. Harlequin novels tend to repeat themselves and might become.boring if you read your share, as I have. This story was definately not one of the boring ones and this was an excellent book in its kind.
