RELEASING ME
by Jewel E. Ann
Five Very Solid Stars!!!
Addy. She broke my heart. The story of her life would bring even the strongest-willed people to their knees. The tragedies she suffered and survived are indescribable. I couldn't help but admire her courage and tenacity as she moved on with her life. Though, while reading Releasing Me, it is somewhat evident that Addy does carry some deeply rooted wounds which time may never heal.
Quinn. He too broke my heart. The man who seemed so incapable of love and commitment shattered at the realization that he gave his love to a woman he knew nothing about. She kept her deepest secrets hidden from him and he came undone. Quinn had to work through so many issues regarding his past and future- he tried but he and Addy seemed destined to keep cutting each other down.
Releasing Me was not a love story which left me with butterflies and sweet smiles. I felt gutted half the time and tears were a steady occurrence with each flick of my kindle-finger. There was so much loss, tragedy and pain- it was almost difficult to finish. But to Jewel E. Ann's credit, it would have been even more painful not to continue with Quinn and Addy's evolution. I loved this couple. I rooted for them. I prayed and I hoped and I yelled whenever either of them acted hastily or hurtfully towards the other. Their struggle became my struggle and I couldn't help but be completely engrained into their lives. Bravo to Ms. Ann for writing a story that engrosses one so completely that it allows you to feel every human emotion- leaving you thinking about it for days after. Five stars well earned.
