After a quick courtship and through some nail-biting circumstances, they fall in love, head over heals, all in and never wanting to let go.
He knew she looked after her grandmother, she was quirky, trusting, sweet, loving, funny, and all those qualities made her exactly the kind of woman he hoped he would be able to claim as his own one day. He knew who she was and how beloved she was in their home town. He never hoped, dreamed, expected for his luck to change and to find a woman like Hanna. But when that day never came, she put her fantasies aside to finally stop daydreaming and create the life she was happy living.Īnd then one day Raiden noticed her.
Hanna kept watching him from afar, with the innocent infatuation and pure adoration, always hoping he would one day turn in her direction and notice her. His activities since his return were clouded in mystery but his hero status remained intact. Raiden was the town’s hero, a man who went to war, earned the stripes of a hero but returned a broken man. This is the story of two people who grew up in the same small town, their families knew each other, their paths crossed on more than one occasion, but while Raiden grew up oblivious of Hanna, she had always been more than aware of his presence in her life, having nursed a crush on him since she was six years old. A hope that no matter how cruel life has been to you, how many scars it has left on your body and soul, how much emotional baggage you are forced to carry with you each day, love can truly conquer all and be its own reward for all that has passed.
This book was no exception and apart from having all the winning elements of a ‘KA formula’, it had the added message of hope. It might get bumpy at times, the waters might get rough, the wind might pick up and make the boat sail faster, but at the end of the day, you will reach the shore, happy as a clam, filled with a giddiness that has no equal. Reading a KA novel is like cruising on a sailboat on a beautiful sunny day – your heart is happy, your body is happy, you want to pinch yourself to make sure you are really there. I have a Kristen Ashley addiction – it’s been diagnosed, I have accepted it, embraced it and have the hazy-eyed look on my face to prove it.
