I still remember when I read the first book in this series
What’s Left of Me. I recall being so
emotional as I read about Aundrea fighting cancer and how she hated having
people take care of her or giving her those pitiful looks. She just wanted to be normal, healthy and
happy. Parker came into her life and
loved her like no other man could. The back
and forth between them regarding allowing him to be with her versus protecting
him from the chance she might die……..yes I still remember that story months
after I finished it, so it was not shocking I jumped at the chance to read
What’s Left of Us when the opportunity came around.
This part of the story starts with Parker continuing to make
Aundrea’s dreams come true. He had
purchased a house for them so they could begin their next phase as a
family. That meant he was ready for
children. Even though her cancer is not
present at this moment, she still had other health concerns, which you will
read first thing in this book that is going to once again put her in the
position of needing help from strangers.
Life was never easy for these two and in this book you will see just how
much they have to go through.
For me this was an even more emotional story, I had already
fallen in love with this couple, been through so much with them and just desperately
wanted their happiness. The author does
a great job at showing life doesn’t always return to what we once called
normal. Sometimes illness and other
issues steal the fundamental right for a woman to carry her own child or for a
man to look in his babies eyes and see parts of himself.
She is once again dependent on someone else to help her
create a life and move on. Fear is a
constant in her world, she knows any minute her heart can give out, the cancer
can come back and will she be forced one day to leave a child motherless. Every time she begins to let happiness invade
her heart, she is struck with the reminder that things don’t always last
forever. Parker will fight to keep her
convinced that going for their dreams is better than preventing their happiness
out of fear.
I wish I could go on and on about this book and the emotions
that came while reading. I couldn’t put
it down once I started, even late into the night, I just had to know if my
couple would finally be able to feel happy and accept that tomorrow isn’t
promised to anyone. When I am asked
about a book recommendation where the reader wants an ugly cry that will leave
them feeling good and hopeful, I always tell them about Amanda Maxlyn and these
two books. She ended this series
perfectly, but I have to tell you I was not ready to let go of Aundrea and
Parker. I am sure their story will stay
with me for a long time.

I am the mother of two little boys, married to the love of my life, and living in one of the smallest towns in Minnesota. When I’m not chasing or cleaning up after my boys (yes, all three), I can be found writing or snuggled up with my kindle, a glass of wine, and spending time with my fictional friends and family.
I am first and foremost an avid reader! I love to read anything romance from paranormal, young/new adult, contemporary, and even yes, (wide eyes) erotic/BDSM.
