Disgrace

by Brittainy C. Cherry

Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again.

After fifteen years together, he walked away from me, and into the arms of another.

I didn’t know how to cope. I didn’t know my worth. I didn’t know how to exist without him by my side.

All I wanted was for him to come back to me.

Then, Jackson Emery appeared.

He was supposed to be a distraction for my mind. A summer fling. A confidence boost to my bruised heart.

We were perfect for one another, because we both knew we wouldn’t last. Jackson didn’t believe in commitment, and I no longer believed in love. He was too closed-off for me, and I was too damaged for him.

Everything was fine, until one night my heart skipped a beat.

I didn’t expect him to make me laugh. To make me think. To make my sadness somewhat disappear.

When our time was up, my heart didn’t know how to walk away.

Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again, yet slowly my prayers began to shift toward the man who wasn’t right for me.

I prayed for one more smile, one more kiss, one more laugh, one more touch…

I prayed for him to be mine.

Even though I knew his heart wasn’t destined to love.

[Romance Schmomance]

I truly wanted to love this one and while I did love the hero and heroine, the absolute horrid people in the town they live in. I couldn't get past their hatred towards these two especially when the reasons why weren't of their doing.

I've been wanting to add books with older couples in them and this was one of my top recommendation. Trust me when I say that I did enjoy reading Disgrace, but the everyone in that town especially their parents, I couldn't stand and it overpowered their love story.

My favorite moments was when Grace would slowly start breaking away from shell and really standing up for herself. I hate how she put so much blame on herself, her character development was amazing and admirable. Because despite having some pretty crappy people in her life, she was willing to forgive.

Jackson was a bit of a tough egg to crack, a grumpy bear and a bit of an a-hole. But he was definitely a product of his upbringing. With his dad wasting away with alcohol, it does nothing for how mean he can be. It was tough to watch their spiraling relationship, but not once did Jackson leave his side.

I loved the tender moments that Jackson and Grace shared at the bookstore. With how horrible their town is, you can't help but root for their happily ever after.

I'm definitely going to go through the backlist of Brittainy's books, I loved her writing.
