Give Me Strength
If loving him was wrong... why did it feel so right?
Ballet prodigy Ashlynn Crane once danced through life effortlessly until grief shattered her world.
A tragic loss that leaves her with a shattered spirit and a grumpy outlook on life.
As she struggles to navigate the emptiness left behind, her life takes an unexpected turn when enigmatic billionaire psychiatrist, Dr. Gilbert McKenzie enters her life.
Or, rather, re-enters her life as her legal guardian.
She’s eighteen and doesn’t want a legal guardian… but she needs him.
With a haunted past that mirrors her own, she’s drawn to him in ways she never anticipated.
He sees the real her.
He sees through her pain.
He offers solace and understanding, and he helps her navigate the darkness.
The problem?
Of all the men on this earth, he is the last person she should want.
He’s her deceased teacher’s husband.
Thrown together by fate, their worlds collide in a tempest of emotions.
Their undeniable connection transcends age and status, and it’s not long before both must confront their deepest fears and secrets.
Can their unexpected connection bring them the healing they desperately need? Or will their secrets and past traumas tear them apart?
Give Me Strength is an angsty, slow-burn romance. It is a guardian/ward, forced proximity, grumpy sunshine, romantic suspense, age gap billionaire romance that explores themes of grief, loss, forgiveness, and acceptance.

DNF 24%
This was very very hard to get into. I didn’t care for the writing style or the characters. It was pretty dull and repetitive. Decided not to put myself through it and quit early.

captivating
It’s a great read about overcoming grief and finding love unexpectedly, just think there could have been more challenges for them to face and overcome together

DNF. Truly so unrealistic and predictable, poorly written and edited.
