This was an excellent story weaved throughout with drama, suspense, “who done it,” second chance romance, action, intrigue, love and more love!! Whew! 😅. This story was everything! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I definitely recommend it!! All that’s left is…Kudos, Sharon!! 💜

    Sometimes you think you know a person, when you really don’t! I just hate that Amina had to go through hell to get to heaven. She should never had been with Jeremy in the first place. He was a piece of work, and just pure evil. I’m just glad that Maxwell came to her rescue when he did. This book was everything!! Thank you Sharon! I’m ready for your next book!! 🔥❤️
