A valley full of secrets.
A history full of nightmares.
A man who cannot be saved.
And a woman who holds his very life in her hands.
Strange how the villain of a story can so easily become the victim.
Utter lunacy to think the captive might now become the caregiver.
Gemma has a decision to make.
Her life or his.
Follow her heart, even when it’s screaming at her to run? Or turn her back on the man who could become her everything?
Pepper Winters has written an emotive and captivating tale once again.
Ever since Gemma arrived, Kassen has been forced to confront his past that he tried so hard to bury. But it seems the mind can only take so much and Kas is finding it hard to tell what is real and what is lived memory. Just like Gemma, my heart cracked in my places when Kassen had to re-endure his past. It is bad enough to face it once but to live again and again without having a way out is devastating. It also means that Gemma isn't safe.
One pivotal moment changes the dynamics between Gem and Kas. It was heartbreaking and intense. But it seems it needed to happen for both of them to turn the corner. It is one thing to know pain but to feel it for yourself is another. Gemma is incredibly strong and compassionate in her actions towards Kas. This is why he feels unworthy of it. All his life he has been told he is nothing and treated with such disregard that he can't understand why someone would treat him with kindness. But he took a chance and was willing to open up to her and expose himself in a way he never has before. And then in one fell swoop, it was ripped away. I found myself yelling, no! You can't take that from them! But of course I knew that the path for Kas and Gem wouldn't be easy but that twist seemed so cruel. I felt my heart splinter and shatter all over again. Kas is worried about Gem and Gem just wants to free Kas. It seems that love is the most powerful and dangerous thing in the world. It can bind and imprison people stronger and tighter than any chain or cage. There was a sense of back and forth and it seemed like things were improving before taking two steps back. My heart shattered and by the end, I felt like it was crushed into dust. And that was before the final pages. I have a theory but I'm not sure if I'm right and what exactly it will mean for Gemma now.
I'm not sure how I will survive until October but survive I must to see the end of Kas and Gemma's tale. I just hope that both of them find the peace, freedom and happiness they deserve.
