Beneath It All . . .
You. Have. Breast. Cancer.
I wasn’t prepared to hear those words. Neither was my loving husband, family or friends. And none of us were prepared for what life had in store after they were spoken.
I should have seen the signs all around me. I should have paid attention to the people who supposedly loved me, the people who I'd always trusted. But I was blind to what was going on. The effects on my flourishing career, passionate marriage and carefree lifestyle would be insurmountable.
It was time to take control of my life and the overwhelming chaos. Time to make the choices that were right for me. Right for my future. The future I hadn’t planned on.
My life didn’t stop when I heard those four little words…it was only just beginning.
Beneath, You’re Beautiful . . .
Four words continue to haunt me . . .
You. Have. Breast. Cancer.
I associate them with the upheaval of my life to this point. The last few months have been a test of my strength . . . mentally, emotionally, and physically. Cancer is a monster. It preys on your mind and it consumes you, consistently reminding you of how your life used to be. Life before cancer. I was a successful business woman, running my own design firm, and was happily married to my college sweetheart. My life seemed perfect. Until it suddenly came crashing down all around me.
So, here I am, in the midst of treatment, incinerating the remnants of my shattered marriage and attempting to piece the rest of my life back together. With three amazing friends pushing me forward, the ‘post-chemo’ finish line is coming into view.
And then . . . there’s him. The man I never anticipated. The one who breathes hope and meaning back into my life. A man who kisses my scars and shows me that I’m beautiful. I never expected him. Hell, I never expected cancer. I’m finally ready to write my future, a future I never planned on, but one that is better than I could’ve ever imagined.
Victoria's journey is complete in this boxed set!

This review I am going to be honest. This book appeared on my “Recommended for You”. I read the book summary: “You. Have. Breast. Cancer.” Oh heck no – not going to read. I want my romance with steam, sexy, seductive, angsty females, alpha males. I do not want to deal with real life. I’ve been there; done breast cancer. Nope. Not. Going. There. The novel will handle the subject trite or clichéd. Or worse, have the characters do things that I fought and hated. No. Nope. Not interested.
Then a friend gifted me a copy and asked me to give it a try. I am so glad I did. It’s well worth the time.
Why? Because Victoria was such an amazing, strong character I fell in love with. If I could change something in the story, what would it be? Okay, can’t say without giving away the plotline. But yes, some of the stuff in Victoria’s journey, not particularly happy that had to happen. But, I know that stuff does.
There are two defined stories in this book: one of Victoria and Blake’s love and the other Best Friends you can’t live without. Both plot journeys are interwoven yet separate in ways. I just thank god for Dana because at one point I wasn’t sure how I was going to jump into my Kindle to shake some sense into Victoria. Blake and Victoria’s love story was so believable; love is never , ever easy. Best Friends story was so thrilling to have four seemingly strong women show you their weak sides.
I know some readers like one book and you’re done. However, I agree with the author. There was no way to tell all of Victoria’s journey in one book and do the character justice. Oh, and the epilogue – I love Karma. So, now you don’t have to have two books. This boxed set is a complete full circle experience. A joy to read. It’ll break your heart, put it back together and you’ll be stronger for it.

Beautifully written with courage
I can't say enough good things about this book. I felt all of Victoria's emotions through the writing. I even cried e daytime she did. Breast cancer is an ugly newsstand I hope to God one day it will be eradicated. I never knew the whole process of reconstruction.
There are so many emotions to process. I wanted to kill Noah even though I guessed what was going on. Dr. McHottie totally stole my heart. I loved the bond between friends this book brought out. You can never have too many friends to stand by your side especially during the fight if your life
Make sure you snatch up these books you'll never regret it.
