Find a woman, love her, make her your wife, have babies. That was the definition of happiness that Karson Laine was taught. 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. Misguided by scarred emotions, Karson used the wrong method of coping that was a detriment to his livelihood. There seemed to be no escape for Karson until there was Sunshine Bennett. 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. Would they be able to overcome their scars or would their time together run out, extinguishing any opportunity for happiness in their lives?
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. Ps. Please don’t give up your writing career. The world needs stories like yours.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
This book is a must read. Either Made Royal has done it again. This story is heart warming and Emotional. I cried for Sunshine she had a rough go at Life however she made the best of it. My heart goes out to Karson and his baby girls.
Wow.. This was such a great story.. Lord knows I cried like a baby.. It felt like I knew them personally. The love Karson and Sunshine was so real. I definitely recommend reading this ❤️
Wow wow is all I can say at the moment. This is my first Made Royal book and wow. She is a bad a as writer given the fact that I don't use obscenities. This book was great not the typical romance or ending but it is an original. Great read!
My emotions are all over the place. But one thing I can say is I loved this story, a story about tragedy, despair, and love. This book was so deep. I’m crying real tears right now. Bravo!
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.
Oh Jade why you do me like that. I loved this story my heart goes out to Karson couldn't imagine losing love twice and coming back from that. I love Sunshine as character she strong and fierce. I'm happy she was able to leave a piece of her, love the story...
This was an amazing read. So much love, devotion, and passion. It all seemed real. This story is one of my all time favorites. The authoress is amazing at writing her books and I can't wait to read new releases. I already downloaded one. But if you haven't checked this book out you should.
This book will have you on an emotional roller-coaster!! I couldn't put it down. By far the best book I have read in a really long time. Jade has one of a kind talent would definitely recommend.
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 book had my crying uncontrollably. Especially at the end I thought Karson and sunshine would have a happy ending. It was so sad. But a wonderful read.
Ohhh my God!! This was a beautiful story. Idk how you came up with it but I'm soooo glad you did. That was so tragically beautiful it hurts. In do believe this is my new favorite book.
