In my world, darkness has a name.
I've seen darkness. And looked straight into his eyes.I've lived through darkness. Since I was a little girl.
Violence is my reality. My normal. His father hit him. Now he hits me. For no reason other than a way to cope with stress. At least that’s the excuse he uses after he teaches me one of his, what he calls it, life lessons.
Now that he has left me for dead, I need to run away. To put as much distance between us as possible. Because this time, even using his powerful connections, he won't find me. I'll make sure of it.
My safe heaven has a face. And even a name. But he has no idea I'm coming. That I need his help. And the safety he can provide me. We met before. Once. Then I vanished into the night without saying goodbye.
A year has gone by since. Will he remember me? Will be the safe place to heal my wounds? Or did I dream the connection we shared that one night on the rooftop bar amongst his wealthy friends?
I'll wait for him. Because I have nowhere else to go, alone and scarred, praying this time, darkness won’t a foothold on me.
Can I finally let the seeds of hope he planted into my heart that night grow, or should I keep running for my life?
After reading ‘Pink and Country’ by Emmanuelle Snow, I knew I wanted to read more books by this author. So when I got the opportunity to read ‘Hope and Country’, I was super excited and simple couldn’t wait to start reading.
In ‘Hope and Country’ we read the story of Devon and Riley. Riley grew up wanting for nothing. Now he is the manager of one of the most successful country stars. His life seems perfect. But when he locks eyes with Devon, he knows his life hasn’t been perfect yet. After locking eyes with Devon he just knows he has to get to know her. And luckily for him, she feels exactly the same. But unfortunately Devon’s life isn’t as easy, and before they really get the opportunity to know each other they are forced apart.
‘Hope and Country’ was definitely an easy romantic read I couldn’t put down. I loved both Devon and Riley from the start, and I just had to know how their story would go. The setting was simple, but perfect and I couldn’t stop reading till I read every single page. We both get to read Devon and Riley’s point of few in this book, which was great. I loved reading their story through both their eyes.
Funny enough, in Pink and Country I thought things moved a bit to slow at times, in this book things moved way to fast. Not in a bad way, but I just really wanted more time with these two characters. Their chemistry is amazing, and I loved their story. Every imperfect little detail of their story! And Devon’s story was just.. Wow! I wanted to climb inside this book and help her out. She definitely deserved a great guy like Riley.
I always love it when an author is able to make me feel all kinds of emotions. And with ‘Hope and Country’, Emmanuelle definitely managed that. This read was romantic, fun, sad, heartbreaking and wonderful.
