My Thoughts:

Jess Hayley is a woman who has a talent that is able to read people by their micro expressions and body language. I just finished a TV series called Lie to Me that the main character had a similar ability. It was interesting and this book intrigued me greatly. I felt for Jess as she seemed to be alone. Her mother passed away, her father left when she was young, and due to her ability, she had a hard time connecting with others. Sometimes the connection was just too painful even. Except for her roommate, Stacy.

One night while out with Stacy to meet her new boyfriend, she meets Bryan. A man who she feels safe with. That night is the beginning of changes for Jess that she will carry for the rest of her life. They have a whirlwind romance, and their relationship progresses quickly. However, after a few years of marital bliss, Bryan stumbles across something at work that has been changing him and Jess wants to get to the bottom of it. She wants to work on their marriage.

There is so much that happens in this story. A lot. I will warn you, that there is something that happens, a plot, that I am not too overly fond of. I cannot say anything more, as it would be too big of a spoiler. Just be prepared for a crazy emotional roller coaster ride. This story about a unique woman with a unique ability, will be stepping out of her comfort zone for the sake of her family.

The story was emotional with a bit of romance, mystery, and suspense in a unique combination.

I was provided a copy of this novel from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

More from Jennifer

I loved writing this book. There were days that words poured out of me as though a dam had broken. Other days I stared at the screen until my eyes felt crossed and only touched the keyboard to text my husband how absolutely uninspired I was.

The day before I clicked PUBLISH, I reread the entire book cover-to-cover, word-for word and just as I had the first time through, I smiled, I cried, my heart swelled, and it shattered into pieces. Then it was gently put back together as I was reminded of the hope that is always waiting for us, no matter what.

One of my favorite quotes from the book:

“…if you will let God redeem your losses, you might find that he restores you, too…”
