ARC/BKFUNNEL/When Love Is All You Have BY MARI HERNAN

 Book Cover AMAZON 

Please note that this is an unedited version of the manuscript. Book is currently with my editor for revisions/corrections. I welcome private feedback if you come across any significant errors that you'd like to bring to my attention. Thank you so much for your support and for taking the time to read and review the book!

I return to my hometown with only one mission: find the little sister who was torn from my arms ten years ago, no matter the cost.

The last thing I expect is to meet the single dad next door. Cal is rugged, kind, and maddeningly handsome.

He makes me laugh, makes me hope, makes me wonder if maybe I can have more than pain and loss.

Falling for him feels easy. Safe. Right.

Loving his daughter fills the void left by the long years without my sister.

Every moment we spend together pulls me deeper into the possibility of a love I thought I’d never have.

Then, with one kiss, everything comes crashing down.

The scar hidden beneath the tattoo on his arm is the mark I left the morning I lost everything.

The truth hits like a storm: the man I love is the officer who separated me from my sister.

I wanted a future with him.

Instead, I’m left untangling a web of lies, betrayal, and another devastating blow: Cal’s family adopted my sister, while I was left to survive alone, never knowing what had become of the only family I had.

Now I must decide whether I can open my heart and forgive the man tied to my greatest heartbreak or risk losing both love and family forever.

 MY REVIEW-  5 STARS  TITLED: LOVE & PAIN & A HAPPY ENDING 

WOW, the introduction information got me from the start and I just had to read this book !! What a great premise !  I do have to admit that I got confused a bit in the beginning because the time line between when Lizzie was taken and when it looked like she might have been found after almost 10 years. It took a bit but then it became really clear and I really got into their stories.  Cal has his point of view. Hannah is a darling child. Hannah's mother definitely was a cold fish, looking out for herself only. She caused a lot of damage to others. Elle/Dani suffered the most as a teenager under her watch in the group home that Meghan ran. She stole ten years of Dani's life with her cruelty. But, oh there is some long awaited  comeuppance coming her way. Her father Vincent was quick the delightful surprise. Elle's best friend, Tina seems to think so too. She in a hate/attraction with Cal's brother Nate and he feels the same. Leads to some interesting, funny sparks!

Cal's family brought pretty of surprises. Ones that made me both cry and smile. Lizzie is now Beth Calhoun, adopted by Cal's parents in a closed adoption. You can imagine the pain that caused when Elle/Dani finds out that truth.  

It's a great story with a beautiful Epilogue!  The title of this eBook made total sense as I read the story and brought tears and smiles to my face. Great eBook cover as well !
