The Hermit came as an recommendation for those who love Completely Wrecked! I read an excerpt and just had to go get the book. This book has recently been revised! Be prepared to be taken on a roller-coaster ride of emotions!

Once again, I absolutely love how Shayne captures and moulds her characters in ways that we can't help but love and feel for them as well. The Hermit is a beautiful, heartbreaking and emotional story. The abuse Daphne had been through was told in its raw gritty truth and wasn't romanticized or made light of. I just love how she subtly gets you thinking and in a way "educates" you through her stories.
Her hands came forward and cupped his bearded cheeks.
"You're everything good, kind, and beautiful.
I hope one day, you see yourself as the hero. That you see yourself the way I see you because no one will ever compare to you in my mind."
