I really enjoyed this emotional book. It is very engaging and a fun read. I love the story line where a widower, Darius who is unable to find zest in life after the passing of his wife and son. However soon he finds himself involves with a young mother.
It is filled with quite a few emotional scenes and a pleasure to read. The struggles and choices that have to be made by Darius can be felt by me. Strongly recommended for anyone looking for an interesting read.

This is an emotional, truthful story, where you can almost see the characters in front of you. Darius Perez is a desolate man who struggle to connect with others after the passing of his wife and son. I sat down after midnight, intending just to give it a quick look to see if it was, indeed, something I wanted to add to my reading list for another day. I couldn't stop reading until it was finished and then still wanted more.

This is a really good book. Without A Doubt by B.F. Harrolle is a book that will tap into your emotional side. It definitely touches on the range of emotions including sadness, fear, anger, happiness, power, and peace. I appreciate the fact that this book wasn't filled with a gloom and doom theme. This story is a beautiful story about growth. I was able to identify with the main character Darius and the other supporting characters. This was definitely a great quality read.

So much promise! But so hard to read. The story has potential to be a very good book, but the author's grasp of grammar is that of a high school freshman. Almost every plural noun is written with an apostrophe + s. One sentence begins "[Character] had wrote" - aaargh!
One other thing that makes no sense and was very distracting to the story is that the book is supposedly set several decades in the future, but that's only evident in the vehicles. Darius's car is a 2050-something model year, but then when the author describes the actions of the car, she switches to a name even though the name of the car, or even the fact that the car has a name at all, is never mentioned. It is very confusing. Andee's car is described the same as any current-era car, but is mentioned as a 2046 model year. Also it's mentioned once in passing that many cars fly, but none in the story do. But nothing else at all supports this future setting - the bands at the local bar play current songs, other technology is the same as today. The few futuristic mentions are out of place.
Also, there are more plot holes in this story than I've ever read before. Andee is in witness protection program, because she witnessed a mob hit. Her police officer husband, who works at the precinct where she fled after the incident, was kept in the dark and thought she and their son were dead. Yet her neighbors and boss in her new location know her story, her husband, and his cousin do too. Then she visits New York, where she used to live and the murder happened, and visits her parents, her extended family, and the dance studio she is part-owner of and cofounded. Also, even though she's gained 30 lbs and hasn't danced a step in four years, she walks in off the street and is given the lead role in the company's biggest, most crucial performance and nails it.
I just can't.... I was so frustrated with this book I ranted to my husband for ten minutes about all the problems in it. There are many others, but I just have to stop. Like I said, the premise is very promising. But the story just didn't fulfill it.

What a heartwarming and intriguing love story and saga that encompasses so many dynamics and emotions. I simply could not put this book down from the moment I started reading it. B.F. Harrolle is obviously a gifted writer with a great sense of drama and life experiences in his storytelling. The setting of the story is fabulous and well described through Harrolle brilliant use of imagery. The storyline flows nicely with lots of emotional scenes, twists & turns, and carefully placed cliff hanger moments. The main character, his love interest, and her son are crafted in the likes of an old Hollywood classic. I don't like to divulge storylines of the books I read & review as I would never want to ruin such a good book for another reader. But take it from me... you will absolutely love this book and will be captivated from the very first page

Okay read but barely
This book started out with a lot of promise but by about half way through I'd had enough. The spelling was atrocious, for example 'perpose' instead of 'propose'. Also, the author kept jumping back and forth between are and were or is and was. It was really annoying. The story was pretty trite and predictable, too.
