Misfortune. Bad luck. Heartache. Devon Thorpe is no stranger to any of them.
After devastating news, Devon’s life becomes a prison of responsibility, heartbreak, and hardship. All her dreams to leave her small town vanish. A prisoner of circumstance.
At her breaking point, Devon has a reckless moment in a diner bathroom with a blue-eyed, sexy stranger. A single encounter with him leaves a deep mark on Devon, giving her only a memory of his touch when nights are lonely, and her life becomes too much to take.
Years later, a terrifying incident takes her and her family to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she finds work as a server at a bar to support her mother.
Tattooed, moody, rough, brown-eyed, and sexy-as-hell Lincoln Kessler, the mysterious owner of the saloon, instantly draws Devon in. She can’t let go of the feeling that there is some strange connection between them. But the more Lincoln tries to push her away, the more determined she is to figure out the enigmatic man. One fiery kiss, and Devon realizes she should have stayed away because when their worlds collide and tragedy strikes, she recognizes they are not each other’s savior but each other’s misfortune.
Warning: This is a tear-jerking audiobook about ill-fated love, heartache, loss, and finding your way through the pain. And a lot of bad luck. It is deeply emotional with sensitive subject matter that involves dealing with a crippling mental disease.




My Review:


OMG! This book is everything I love about a great story! This is a beautiful story! Devon is so unlucky! Her story is heartbreaking, but also hopeful, and heartwarming. The storyline is intriguing, and absolutely captivating, filled with twists and turns, and a lot of bad luck! At some point, all I wanted was a happy ending for Devon. I wanted to take her in my arms, and tell her that all was going to be alright, even if it wasn't. Lincoln is handsome! This was an emotional reading. I love Devon and Lincoln's story! They share a wonderful and strong chemistry, totally outstanding. The secondary characters are also really great. The story is told with Devon's POV only, and if I could change one thing about this story it will be to have Lincoln's POV. I wanted so much to know what he was thinking all along this story! But I understand the choice made by the author. It was Devon's story to tell. I LOVE Stacey Marie Brown's writing. She can write steamy scenes, as well as heartbreaking scenes, with an equally realism and emotion. This story is really beautifully written. Erin Mallon did an outstanding job with the narration. I love how she brings this story to life. I enjoyed my listening and highly recommend it.This story is one of my favorites, and it will last on my heart for a long time 💗
