In the midst of grief, all I can really remember are the beautiful moments I spent with my father and my father-in-law because my mothers made sure that we dwell only on the things that are worth remembering: My father’s humor and gentle affection, and my father-in-law’s steadfast dedication to his wife and family. They are my mother, Mercy Rafols, and my mother-in-law, Cristina Lorenzo-both of whom lost their husbands almost within the same year.īoth my mothers have shown me the grace and strength of how it is to fully love and that no death can ever take that away from us. Wading around this realization, I’d like to pay homage to two amazing women in my life who looked death in the eye and decided that despite the circumstances, love still wins. Across time, mothers continue to hold the power to mend our broken hearts, becoming our most trusted companions in times of loss and grief. Mothers are the unwavering presence we rely on, the only ones who can truly comprehend our pain and acknowledge our need to mourn the loss of someone we deeply cherish. Death carries an undeniable finality, a prospect we often try to avoid contemplating, yet it remains an inevitable part of life.īut here’s another word that neutralizes the fear of having both love and death-mothers.

While we all desire love in our lives, the mere mention of death instills the fear of losing those we hold dear. Anyway, I have fallen in love and maybe have a new obsession.Love and death-these are two words you never want to encounter at the same time. I just hope and pray that this isn't the end of the story and I have more to sink my teeth into. Still intense but definitely much more loving between the characters. If the first book is too much, then please don't give up, because once love is in the air it gets sweeter. If you don't mind raw honesty, darker than dark history and intensity (including lots of intense sex), plus you enjoy a different type of romance to the usual white Knight and flowers, then this will knock your socks off! I love dark romances and even darker characters with an erotic touch so when I started to listen to this series I was hooked! I've recently started downloading more from this author and I have to say that I have put them in my list of favourites! So I would be advising any "none-snowflakes" to have a listen. I have gone through every book in this series like a lost person in the desert would go through bottles of water! The start is kinda dark, the sex is raw and well explained, with lots of "scary" hurdles and antics along the way and ending with a beautiful HEA! I REALLY DESPERATELY WANT MORE!!! I love that this book goes back to following the original characters because they veered off for a while to their friends and family.
