This was such a surprising read. A story about scars that take time to heal, and the trust that needs to be built. All on love that can overcome it all. 
 Nerissa and Liam are two souls that have gone through so much in their lives, with all their tragedies comes scars. Some more visual than others. It takes over on whom they become throughout the years. 
 I love how Rissa challenged Liam out of his comfort zone. Pushing his boundaries along with making him grow for his behalf. Never giving up in trying to make him see his own true worth and loving him for it and nothing more. 
 Liam of course was a little harder to sell because of his insecurities, but he was such a gentle soul. And those insecurities were the main crutch of the story. 
 They complemented each other very nicely and you could sense that within the story. 
 Ms. Brocious did a fantastic job creating the Beauty and the Beast approach with this read. Great job, Ms. Brocious.
