I’m sure I’m wasn’t the only one that was thinking, “What about Ruben?” at the end of Finally Unbroken. I couldn’t fathom the thought of him out there suffering; he deserved a shot at a HEA as well. So to say I was over the moon when I found out the author was going to write a novella for him would be an understatement.
I know, I know. You’re thinking to yourself, “She’s nuts!” I may be, but I’m also passionate about these characters. None more so than Ruben.
It’s been five years since cancer so cruelly cut Amanda’s life short, leaving Ruben in the pits of despair and alcohol. Now, though, he is finally on the path to recovery. It’s also been two years since he last blew through Laurie Rosales’s life.
Laurie is living half a life; haunted by her own loss. She tries to channel all of that into helping others through her work at the community centre. The only person she’s never been able to reach is Ruben Asher:
“You can’t save someone who wants to drown, or you’ll end up drowning with them.”
When Ruben re-enters her life, he can see behind her perfectly formed mask to the very real pain underneath. What begins as a tentative friendship turns into the possibility of more.
Can Ruben help Laurie slay her own demons? Can he see beyond his guilt and grab the HEA he deserves? Can Laurie come to terms with the events from her past? Can she compete with Amanda’s memory? Does she have to?
These questions and more are answered in this emotional and heartfelt story. No two people needed each more than Ruben and Laurie. I was a wreck at the end of this book, but in a good way. Their world had shifted back into place.
I’ll leave you with Ruben:
“She doesn’t make me better, she just gives me a reason to crave a better life for myself.”
