ARC REVIEW ➞
Josh and Charlie’s journey went down an unexpected path, but I loved every single moment of it. It was raw, beautiful, real and so emotional at times. I loved these two characters so much already, but after the conclusion of their story they will hold a special place in my heart.
The chemistry between Josh and Charlie was instant. Their love and connection for each other transcended beyond everything else during this story. While they both struggled at times with the events in their lives, their love for each other was still growing stronger.
Josh was already a unicorn and he continued to surpass anyone and everything when it came to how he loved Charlie, supported her and was just there for her through the good, the bad and the ugly. He does so many sweet things for Charlie, one scene specifically was just so beautiful and emotional that I was ugly crying my way through it.
Charlie. She was already a BA in my eyes and even more so now. The woman is a fighter. Her strength and determination are something that is admirable. You can feel her emotions, her pain so much throughout this story. At times I found myself just wanting to jump in and gave her a hug.
Protect Me had me in full on tears so many times throughout the story and those tears eventually turned into happy tears. It even had me laughing at times, because of the banter between Josh and Charlie. It was so perfect and felt so natural.
If you’re looking for an emotional, real, and truly beautiful story this one to read.
