Author Liv Brywood

Oh my!  This story is a true lesson in what a lack of communication can do to two people and their lives.  Sometimes the fallout is not truly known for years and often, once we are forced to reach out again, we find that if we had just communicated in the beginning then the rift would never have occurred.  This was a very difficult story to read, not in the writing it was actually very good but in the tale its self.  I struggled a bit with the choices both characters made.  Realistically, when we are young we all think we are right and no one else could possibly know better.  More often than not, we find that this is incorrect.   

I was so frustrated that Brady seemed to decide he had no other honorable choice than to follow in the footsteps of his relatives, but at the same time I felt sorry for him as he didn’t have all of the information needed to make a truly informed decision.  I was angry with Rachel because she was the true reason for the years long rift between the two fated mates.  I understood later why she withheld the information, but that does not make her decision to not inform Brady any better.  Then for her to hold onto anger at him when he is not down with Deon and had no way of knowing why she felt it was so important he stay.  Luckily for her, when she is forced to reach back out to him he puts aside his anger to hear her out.  Brady deserved so much better than the life she left him to.  I am still not sure that Rachel truly deserves to be forgiven and have her family be whole, but that is between the two of them.  I am hoping the rest of the bears at the Curvy Bear Ranch do not have such a difficult time with their lady loves, but only time (and reading) will tell.

No matter what, this is a 2^nd chance book that is a wonderful Christmas read.  Click on the book above to meet the bears of the Curvy Bear Ranch.

Official published review:

The longest distance between two people is miscommunication 

What an awesome read!  This book mirrors real life in the way it portrays young love, the decisions we make, the results of those decisions and the long journey back to where we are meant to be. Rachel was young and under stress and reacted poorly when she spoke to Brady. He was no better, focused only on what he thought he had to do he missed what was right in front of him. With the support of family, these two struggle through a hardship no parent should have to endure in order to find their way back to each other and their HEA. I can’t wait to see what happens with the rest of the cowbears. 

4 stars 

Happy Reading
