Disclosure of Material Connection:  I received this book for review from Enticing Journey Book Promotions and the author.  I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review.  The opinions I have expressed are my own.  I am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255:  "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising".

Everybody has problems. But Travis? Yeah, he has so many problems that he finds it hard to breathe sometimes.

He spends five years catering to his ex-wife’s every want and need—all to make it possible to continue to see his child.

He isn’t supposed to fall in love with a woman, but he does.

He isn’t supposed to find someone that is willing to put up with his ex-wife’s crazy antics, but he has.

He isn’t supposed to be happy, but he is.

And all it takes is his ex-wife finding out about his new-found peace for things to change.

***

Hannah saw him and knew he was the one.

All it took was one look into that haunted man’s eyes, and she was lost, never to be found again.

She thinks she has it all. His love, a new baby made with that love, and a house to raise their blended family.

She’s wrong, and Travis’ ex-wife is out to prove it.

***

Travis doesn’t deserve Hannah. All he’s done is hurt her.

She’s done everything in her power to keep everyone happy, but the more she tries, the harder his ex-wife pushes. Until one day, there’s nothing left to push.

Hannah leaves, and Allegra wins.

But Travis isn’t willing to let her have her way any longer.

He fights back, and only gets a bullet to the chest to show for it.

Travis is very frustrated with his life.  His tale starts off pretty sad but you hope over time things will get better.  Hannah is a single mother trying to start over.  This author has given Travis a life that I can understand.  I had a brother that experienced some of the same thing.

The sad part with Travis’ situation is that it’s the children that always seem to get hurt.  The person at the root of that hurt doesn’t even seem to care.  It seems like it’s all about them and they don’t realize, or seem to care, about the lives that they are destroying.  How can they even be happy?  Besides trying to destroy the person that at one time they supposedly loved, they have also affected those in that person’s circle.

The author may not have written it that way but she got my anger level to go up a little.  Probably because of my own family memories of something similar that has this story hitting me hard.  Don’t think that a person can’t have more than one persona.  They put on one face for those that they want “pity” from and then another face for those that they want to destroy.  And in that mix you add in someone that is trying to create a new life with a man who has been through so much.  They also may not realize, or care, about the irreparable damage they are inflicting on an innocent child. 

I did have to put the book down several times but if you can’t tell it’s because this book struck a nerve.  It’s nothing against the writer or her writing style.  It’s just that she’s done such a good job at creating characters and scenes that got my emotions involved.  It reminded me that as a family member our hands were tied and just had to watch my brother suffer.  This is something that I love in an author – they get you to feel and even reminisce.  They also seem to put a realistic spin on their story.  Even though this book was hard for me, I look forward to reading more of the Hail Raisers series.

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
