                        MY REVIEW 

    

    This is the third book in the NEW CASTLE series and I must admit I think it is the best of the three .  I promised myself that I would read and not let this book wreck my heart . I sat down with a warm cup of tea and the book . Well lets just say I had cold tea and tear streaked cheeks when I was finished with this book . 

  The characters are so well written and so complex . Chloe has been through hell and back . She has been repeatedly been abused by her husband . Until the day she escaped with her boys. On the run and scared out of her mind she runs into a tall dark stranger who is the help she needed . But he isn't all that he seems . When we first meet Chloe we see her as a beaten broken woman who just was surviving . Your heart broke for her you just wanted to wrap her up and keep her safe . She is a survivor and was stronger then she even thought she was . We see her grow and thrive and even becoming a doctor who helps others that have been abused and have gone through tragedies. But she still has unresolved feelings and fears of her past . When her past comes back to haunt her, you see how much she has grown and how much she wants to survive . 

 Trenton Cole is the kind stranger that helped Chloe six years ago . But there was a side to him that was hidden when he first saw Chloe . You know that he would do the right thing when he helped Chloe . He is such a strong man who can take sexy up a notch or two. There is also a side of him that is so caring and loving . He will do anything to keep Chloe and her boys safe from all the bad out there . You want Trenton in your corner when you are going up against the evil that is in your life . He is the man you want and want to love . The rest of the cast of characters are also there and love Chloe through it all . 

   This book will rip out your heart, drag it through the mud then mend it back together . The author takes us on a journey that will keep you on the edge of your seat . The story is so realistic in so many ways . There is domestic abuse that will break your heart . You will want to wrap up the characters in warm blankets and hold them tight. You also get a book about what true love really means and what you would do to be with the person you love . Also what you would do to keep that person safe and feel cherished . There are some twists and turns that will keep you reading well into the night . I am going to warn you though there could be a few triggers for those who are sensitive to abuse and what that entails . Also have a big box of Kleenex beside you cause you are really going to need them . Especially at the beginning and the last chapters will stomp on your heart even more but also piece it back together. I recommend this book for anyone who wants a story of unconditional love and redemption this is the book
