Story
For solitary novelist Jorie Price, true love seems as fictional as the shape-shifting creatures she writes about in her paranormal romances. Griffin Westmore doesn't believe in love, either, but she's one of those not-so-fictional shape-shifters who secretly live among humans. When Jorie's writing gets uncomfortably close to the truth, Griffin is sent to investigate and, if necessary, kill the author to protect the secrets of her kind. But when Griffin unexpectedly finds herself drawn to Jorie, her world is turned upside down.

She's determined not to let anything stop her - not even falling in love with her aloof mentor, Dr. Emily Barnes. Emily has only ever focused on her career as a senior attending in the emergency department, and she isn't happy about having to babysit a resident with a 10-year gap in her resume, no matter how intriguing she is. But every time they work together, it's not just their patients' heartbeat that gets a little irregular.

Sutton Spencer's ideas for her life were fairly simple: finish graduate school and fall in love. It would be a lot simpler if she could pinpoint exactly what she should do when she graduates in less than a year. Oh, and if she could figure out how to talk to a woman without feeling like a total mess, that would be great, too. Charlotte Thompson is very much the opposite.

Her first assignment - decorating the Christmas tree in the lobby - results in a trip to the ER after Dee, the company's second-in-command, gets hit by the star-shaped tree topper. Dee blames her instant attraction to Austen on her head wound, not the magic of the falling star. She's determined not to act on it, especially since Austen has no idea that Dee is practically her boss.

Parents of girls should read this book
I was so curious while reading through this book. I felt the author had an intense insight into sexual assault and into how to address the resulting relationships that breakdown following an assault.
I often read books (listen to books) and wish the character would just make the right decision, say a compassion thing, come from kindness and Jae shows us how that can be done.
So many characters had meaningful transformations. This book addresses consent, assault, and romantic relationships in such a subtle way that it leaves a powerful impression.
I had to look up the author to see if they had a history of working with survivors of sexual assault....out of curiosity. :)
Anyway. Now I’m reading everything she puts out. Amazing. I love the strong, loving characters and the positive relationships they build. Can’t wait for the next read.

Amazing book
To take such a sensitive topic and spin it into an amazing story is why Jea is in my top 10 authors. This book was very intense as one of the MC is raped right at the beginning of the book which made it a tough read at times but if you can push past it it is worth it. I ended up invested in Dawn’s healing journey and how Aiden was so patient with her. It was well written with likable characters intertwined in a heartfelt storyline.

Not what I expected
This isn't your normal romance novel. It delves into serious subject matter and situations. But what I found amazing is this didn't end with catching the bad guy and getting together. The aftermath is given. where talking about 5 chapters worth. Very well done. Highly recommend!
As always Abby Craden is amazing bringing these characters to life.

What can go wrong?
When Jae writes and Abby Craden narrates there is always a success. And this book is no different.
I loved Aiden, she is a strong balanced woman, both in her profession and her love. She reminded me of “Olivia Benson” from SUV. The story was well developed and I liked the court scenes, these scenes Iar missed in SUV.
So thank you Jae for actually detailing that.

Beautiful Love Story
This is not a typical romance. It’s the story of two women helping each other heal and grow through creating a vulnerable, trusting relationship. If you have unresolved sexual abuse history, this book could be overwhelming.
I realized part of why I enjoy Jae’s books. She creates safe, secure attachment as the basis of each romance. Her stories are about women loving and accepting each other as they are, and in so doing, growing and transforming.
This is not an easy, breezy romance. The content is challenging. That said, I highly recommend this book and I’m looking forward to reading the next in the series.
Again…trigger warning if you have a sexual abuse history.

If you do not want 10 hours of working through a rape then seek another book. I read to loose myself from the harshness of reality. I was sad to the very end. Not that it wasn’t well written but just sad and depressing.

Hard to get through
Rape and the emotional aftermath of that violation are THE plot point for this story.
A little bit Law and Order SVU, a little bit “romance”(?). It’s a difficult listen. Slow. Tedious. Emotionally hard.
Maybe this is an accurate description of some people’s experience through that trauma and journey back to a full, loving, healthy, sexual relationship. But it is not what I’m looking for in a romance. Some kind of conflict, for that delicious kind of tension that makes you keep reading/listening to find the resolution is good. This story is just tension and pain. Hour after hour of it. She was violated. It’s painful and difficult. It’s a long road back to any kind of “normal”. Understandable, but not the escape I’m looking for in my fiction.
I kept listening, waiting for it to get better, waiting to find the lighter happier times these characters deserved. It never happened. There was an HEA of sorts, but not until the very last minutes. I feel exhausted at the end of this listen. Really not what I look for from this genre.
Quality narration. Was not enough to redeem this title for me.

Fine, but not fun at all
I'm not sensitive to triggers by any means, to the point that you'll find me muttering about how we all need to learn better coping skills or process trauma rather than asking the world to bend. That said, this was triggery for me. I don't want to commit a spoiler, and everyone is different. But go easy if you have a trigger happy brain. The writing is good, but I was ill at ease for most of it.

It takes time to rebuild a stronger life.
A story of violence that steals your independence and innocence. It can only take what we let it. Dawn's life is in changed forever. Aiden does not know the depths she has lost. Together they have a chance to build a life of love that is strong, whole and built to last forvever.
