When Karson found the woman that made his heart bleed with jubilation and love; he devoted himself whole heartedly to her, knowing she would bear his last name, and give him the babies he desired. With a happy marriage, and a beautiful child, Karson was living the life he’d always wanted, but no one had taught Karson that not all good things last forever. What Karson thought would be forever, ended with a lifetime still left to be lived. Karson was sucked into a whirlwind of hurt, confusion, and despair.

With her own emotional and mental scars, Sunshine was nowhere near ready to help someone heal but there was something genuine in the connection between them. Karson and Sunshine took from each other as much as they gave, breathing fresh air into their lives. In this profound novel, journey with Karson and Sunshine as they worked to learn to first love themselves before being able to love someone else.

Grab the tissues

This was an emotional read. It also made you want to appreciate love and life more because you never know when your life can change. My heart went out to Sunshine and Karson for them going through what they had to go through.

Be still my heart

This story is one that will take you through every spectrum of emotions. As I sat or laid down and read this book, I was reminded that every day isn't promised or guaranteed; we are to live our lives the best way we know how. Karson and Sunshine's story isn't necessarily a romance, but a love story... a story of two people who have met some extreme lows, blessed with growth and at points knocked down again. But if there's a lesson in being knocked down, it would be how to get back up better and stronger. I loved this book for all of its truths on addiction and how it affects people differently; and for its transparency of emotions. Ms. Royal proves the indeed a rose can grow from a perceived concrete heart. A must read.

SO EMOTIONAL😥😥

I've read all of Jade's books and as always they are very well written with a cast of characters at some point you won't forget. But I must say this book here really gets to your core thats how deep it is. I like how this book touches on mental and physical illnesses. Karson experienced heartache during two separate stages of his life but with that heartache came blessings in the form of KJ and Rainbow. You'll definitely need a box of tissue when reading this story from beginning to end. Great job Jade

An Amazing Work of Art!!

WOW! To say that this book was amazing is a understatement. I felt so many different emotions reading this book that I'm pretty sure I need a vacation after reading it! Sunny and Karson took me on a journey of love and living. I learned so much from the two of them that I can apply in my real. Jade you did an a marvelous job with this one that showed your amazing talents that need to be shared with the world!

Beautiful

This review is hard! I'm crying legit tears. Like oh my goodness. I wasn't so broken up about Hailey I wa messed up over the affect it had on Karson and KJ. Her momma needed to be sent to the after life with her! Karson... I have no words I just wanted to hold him. Sunny is a warrior. This even made me half way like Peace again. Karson momma I want to fight like I really want to pull up on her.

Lovely

This book was amazingly beautiful! The way two people can connect. Sole ties, bonds, chemistry and true love are powerful things. It’s amazing how you can find strength, courage, and healing in someone else. I won’t spoil it for anyone, but I was not expecting the turn of events. I recommend this read. My first book by the author and it gave me just the right amount of laughter, tears, and most of all love.

Emotional

Wow this was an emotional and heavy read and having recently lost a friend of over30 years I wasn't sure if could finish it because the pain of Karsons loss was palpable. But that's what hooked me and made me keep reading. These characters felt real to me. Life isn't always fair that's why we have to live each day to the fullest and open ourselves to love when it finds us. An emotional yet great read.

This book touches on so many levels of Love. It reminds you never to take love, life or a person for granted. Time is never promised but the memories will forever be an album in your heart. I cried real tears for Karson and Sunshine. Jade Royal is a wonderful author and given the chance, I know she will be your favorite too. Excellent read.

OMG

If you love a good tear jerker, this is it. My eyes started leaking at page two. I've read a book that had me in my feelings like this one. I mean I've shedded tears but this was on a different level. I just kept wishing this was a dream. On a happier note the sex was like dammm. Another great read.

What a story

OMG all I could do was grab tissues with this story it was almost too much. I felt so sorry for Karson to have major lose like that twice.I don't think I would have been able to deal with all of that. Glad to see that even when life knocks you down, you don't have to stay down

I usually leave stars

I don’t usually write reviews, but this..this touched my soul. You could feel the pain and love pouring from the pages. Ultimately in the end I had streams of tears falling down my face but a smile returned with the final outcome of the story.

Heart warming

We never understand or sometimes truly appreciate the people we have in our lives. This is a story of that then learning it and moving forward I love without causing harm to ourselves and loved ones. Great job with this story.

This was such a good read. I just wished the ending was different. Karson was such a lucky man to have found a bit of “Sunshine “
