I would compare this to Beautiful Disaster, it's about two broken college students both untrusting for separate reasons both stemming from family. It was well written and shows both characters perspectives as well as developing the other characters in a way that you know who's who. It was an emotional roller coaster that I would take again and again!

What a great story and well written.  I could feel the emotion of each of the characters as they experienced so many of the joys and challenges of life that we have all faced.  I especially enjoyed the manner in which were transferred back and forth in time throughout the store.  I look forward to reading the writers next book.

I just loved this story. I was able to feel the emotions, understand the reasons why Lacey needed to be found. Scott did have his own dark feelings, trauma in his past life and to see these 2 people come together and watch the emotions and feelings come out, true feelings being found between the 2 is what makes this a must read. Well done Donya, well done... =)

This is an excellent story of good versus evil. From early on I knew who the good guys were. Sometimes thats not good in a story- but in this story it is. You connect with them. You are happy when they are happy, sad when they are sad, and let me tell you-this story can get downright emotional at times. Its been awhile since Ive felt the little tugs on my eyes from a written story. The big emotional battle scenes (armies and individuals) from Lord of the Rings, Braveheart, and Star Wars are all here. Dont read this for philosophy or deep introspection... (although you could the second time Im sure) read it because you want to FEEL a struggle, feel happiness, feel despair, and all the glory that comes with an emotional roller coaster that comes smashing to an epic finish.

A beautiful story of love, dreams, success, family, loss, heartache, tragedy, healing, strength to continue, a journey to find happiness and learning to love again. Wow, this book is full of emotion! I thoroughly enjoyed this read and recommend it to anyone looking for a story that moves you emotionally.

Wrecked was a great story that had me believing in the characters story. The emotion that was as true to life as an author could make each character feel like a real person. I am not a follower of MMA fighting but this book make me want to go find an MMA fighter of my own. The caring and love that could be felt between the characters made it seem like the relationship was being lived out in my own life and not like character in a book.
I wish the next book would be out already.

Such a beautiful, moving story, and well-written to boot. Having lost many family members myself to illness and violence, and wanting to feel their presence when they were gone, I was touched by this story. It brought me to tears with the struggles those who have already passed on have in letting their family pass into the light. SPOILER: At first I couldn't understand why a main character was written out of the story halfway through, but the author resolved the matter.

You're not only in for tears, but laughter as you watch the Deadlines interact with each other. I highly recommend this story.

This is a very emotional story to read, one that deals with childhood cancer, a violent crime of rape and the damage that leads to a broken relationship. It is a stark reminder than pain and heartache also happens to good Christian people. As this story unfolds I was captivated with the characters and how each person must deal with heartache. Angelica lives with shame and fear, but her son Xavier is the light of her world. She is so strong and compassionate with her child, not knowing if his cancer will come back and take him away. To come back to her hometown and face Troy, the man she loved and was engaged to before her world crumbled. It is a reminder that we should be careful about our actions and doing things that we know are wrong which makes us vulnerable. As the story unfolds with its twist and turns I hurt for all the pain one terrible night caused for so many people and for so many years. It is also a reminder to be careful of what you say in the heat of anger, because those words cut deep. The ending of the story with its HEA ending gives us hope that forgiveness and healing can happen.  Disclosure: I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.  All thought, opinions and ratings are my own.

I didn't choose 5 stars because the story had a happy ending and was full of feel-good themes.  It truly was also full of good writing and dialogue.

This story was very moving. The characters were so real and I felt strong emotion for their needs. The author told a story where the reader felt satisfied at the end.

This story has a lot of emotions. Like and Aurora have known each other for a long time but it's not until tragedy hits that they lean on each other and start to open up about their real feelings.  I love the way the author pulls them together. It felt very realistic and definitely was something that I feel would happen in everyday life. Will they be able to make something out of their feelings or will their grief be too much? You will want to read this book and find out because it's a story that drawls you in. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

I have read every book Cathy Lamb has written and experienced so many emotions in each book but all of them have made me cry including this one.  The story line in this filled with so much thought and care and love to her main characters and follows their lives through childhood to adulthood.  In this story you will read about people who are truly caring and then you have the self righteous people....we all know people like this and how they can destroy lives.  The writer allows you in her story to feel and experience the feelings that happen and bring you through to the ending and allows some sunshine to come through the clouds.
