Summary

Her love could set me free from the shadows...

Seeing CoCo Becket for the first time made my heart start beating again. It changed everything. Before her, I had no purpose, no reason to live.

She was the most beautiful woman I had ever met. I couldn't help but fantasize about kissing her plump lips or having those sky blue eyes staring back at mine, seeing beyond what I truly was. Broken and ashamed.

My desire for her ran deep...deeper than I expected it to. She was a goddess, and I was simply caught up in her glow. I couldn't say no. Not to her kindness and not to my need to be near her.

CoCo was the good in life where I was the bad. She became the sun to my never-ending darkness.

When a mysterious situation brings us together, I discover that I'll do anything to keep her safe. Even if it means risking my own life, to save hers. Because, before her, love was just a word I'd heard in passing, and now, I'll destroy anyone who tries to take her or that love away from me.

opposites attract!

Two people from totally different worlds collide to fall in love. This is such a feel good romance. A second chance on love and life for Bodhi. Coco is a hair dresser with a kind heart. Bodhi is homeless with an admiration for Coco. When Coco needs help, Bodhi is right there. At times, I thought he could be her stalker, but then at other times, I just wanted the best for him. I love the slow build of their romance. It gives depth to the story and just really helped me enjoy their journey. I could not put this book down. I could not wait to find out what happened next.

Lia Holland really connected with the characters. Lia brought out all the emotions, suspense and chemistry as it was written. I was easily lost in her narration and felt as if the story was a movie in my mind. Lia really brought out Coco. I felt as if i connected with Coco, through the narration. Lia was able to keep the characters distinct. Her male voice was smooth and not forced. I cannot wait to hear more from Lia Holland.

Interesting choice of characters

This is the first book I've listened to by Harlow Layne. I was impressed with the unique choice of characters, though Bohdi's thoughts at times seemed odd and instantly possessive to the point of creepy. It also seems like there could have been more to the story between the last chapter and the epilogue, as I think working through those parts of the relationship could also have been interesting.

Quite simply, a wonderful story!

Somehow Harlow Layne has managed to capture the essence of romance, emotion, personal struggle and suspense in a perfect balance where none overwhelms the others. It was my first book by this author and I loved it. I loved how delicately the plot was unfolded and how the characters were believable rather than flamboyant fictitious. I really zipped through this audiobook and now look forward to more!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review

Sweet!

I found this book to be sweet. It shows how money isn't everything. Both the main characters were likable. They had a couple of obstacles to overcome which made the book more interesting.Overall a good book. 🎧AudiobookObsession

Great characters, a bit of suspense

This is a sweet, steamy book. CoCo was having a bad day and Bodhi knew he wanted to make her happier. This is an insta-love book where Bodhi starts to sound a bit like a stalker but a sweet one. But quickly, after he saves her, their relationship grows and these are sweet characters. CoCo has a big heart and even though Bodhi is homeless, she didn't take the material aspects into considerations- she only cares about what is in the heart. Bodhi is not an alpha character but is a sweet man who just wants to protect her. It's a sweet premise where both help each other grow and love.

While I thought Lia Holland did a good job, this is a dual POA so I think the narration would be elevated if there was a male narrator too. However, overall, the narration was good and kept my attention drawn to the story.

Secret Admirer

Narration: Lia Holland did a really great job with this, first time I have heard her performance, but def not the last.
Story:First off, you won’t be able to put this down, so make sure you carve out the time to read this beginning to end. Bodhi & Coco are so sweet insta-love it’s hard not to feel all the emotions with them. Neither of them is in a really good place when they meet, both having a bit of baggage that only the other will really be able to help them through. I really love Harlow Layne’s writing its strong and flows seamlessly , these characters are amazing, and the twists will make you gasp!

💨 💥 Quick story...

Gahhhh! I was seriously feeling for Coco! While Bodhi could had gone about his approach slightly less creepy... I get the inner struggles we all go through. The mind telling us we aren't good enough. I found the story to move a lot quicker than I expected. I really liked the mystery feel to it... it made the story feel almost obsessive!

The narrator, Lia Holland, did a good thorough job. She played Cocos parts very well. I feel like some of the vibe and the creep-factor could have been kicked up a few more notches with just the addition of a male voice. This is one of those stories that could have benefited very well from that feel of a deep voice.

Secret stalker

For me this book just didn’t sit with me right. I felt like the hero was trying to be protective and sweet but instead to me he came off kind of obsessive and stalking.
Heroine discovers hero is the one leaving her flowers and immediately thinks it’s sweet. There’s no question that this homeless man has been following her around and knows where she lives and works without her ever having to tell him. Then... THEN she just invites him to stay in her home without knowing anything about him.
I just really ever couldn’t get past this so the romance was completely lost on me, sadly.
