Lorelei Bluffs #2
Two A.M.
Scarred and broken by a mother who never loved her. Plagued with recurring nightmares about her brother’s death. Desperate for a child with the man she loves.
Tough and cool, hospice nurse, Auden Roberts is surrounded by loss on a daily basis. She internalizes her stress and sadness and keeps a firm grip on her emotions, except when she’s asleep. The demons from her past and the new heartaches and scars from her present life with her husband, Trick, explode inside her when she sleeps and drag her down into the dark hallways of her past.
Trick, a touring musician turned music teacher, wakes her from her nightmares and holds her until the shaking and the crying stops. Sometimes, putting his arms around her isn’t enough, and he sings to her.
Auden and Trick have tried for years to have a child together, but they’ve suffered several miscarriages. Auden’s doctor has recommended they let go of their dreams of parenthood. The Recurrent Pregnancy Loss is affecting Auden’s emotional and physical health, not to mention the strain it has put on their marriage.
When Auden realizes she is pregnant again, she’s afraid to tell Trick. What if he believes her desire to have a baby is bigger than her love for him? What if he’s moved on, and he’s ready to live a life without children? What if she miscarries again? Can their marriage survive more heartache?

Auden wants a baby more than just about anything. And her husband, Trick, only wants her to be happy. He wants to heal from the heartbreaking string of miscarriages and move on with their lives. Together as a couple. Auden knows that clinging to her dream will tear apart her marriage. Can she learn to let go of her need to have a baby before Trick packs his bags for good?
I totally loved this story. The characters come alive as they are forced to cope with the strong emotions surrounding infertility and miscarriage. Auden and Trick watch as their dear friends, Millar and Royce, struggle to deal with their college-aged children and contemplate exactly how they’d manage with those situations if they were ever fortunate enough to become parents.
I’ll admit that I cried a lot while I read this one, but it was excellent. Tracy Broemmer has a way of creating rich, multi-layered stories that focus on marriage, family, and friends—all things that women today can relate to.
Even though Two a.m. is book 2 in Tracy Broemmer’s Lorelei Bluffs series, it stands alone perfectly. I highly recommend this story.
