Sometimes, in the middle of the night, or the calm after a big storm, when the world seems new and fresh, when one can feel the rightness of the world falling into place, I forget. This is my favorite time; this is the point between old and new and the fresh and used. It is that point when I can pretend that I too am fresh and new. I can stand in the rain and shower off the old me, shedding it like the skin of a snake; with it goes the terrors and pain and I am left fresh. For a time. Then, I look down and see the scars, feel the terror and smell the fear. Yes, fear has a smell, a very distinct, very real smell. I am sure it is a different smell for everyone; for me it is lemons, coppery lemons. The fear I smell the most though is one that brings most peace. And the sounds, oh the sounds that come screaming back into my head. They don’t leave. They never leave. They come screaming back, fast and furious, like a Japanese bullet train. Always on course, always on time. They crush me with the weight of the fear they bring with them. I have to escape. I need release; it is why I run in these early hours, in the rain and storms that other people stay out of.

I dress in my running gear and open myself up to the cathartic release I get from lacing up my shoes and I step out the door. I know I can’t out run my past. I know I cannot escape the fears and pain, or erase the scars, but I can forget for a time. I can find that release. With each pounding footstep I feel calmer. I feel the terrors of my dreams fade and I can see the new day rising. What was done was done, I cannot change that. I am a new person now. New face, new name, new life. The run clears my mind and as I reach the end, the clearing of Aspens, with leaves now turning, looking golden and on fire in the early morning sun; I feel renewed. I love these mountains and their glorious, ever-changing beauty. The trees can be at once skeletal remains and yet grow, not giving in to nature, to become the beautiful fireballs before me, an amazing creation I am currently standing in awe of. Proof that life goes on; it continues. The world turns, the sun rises and sets and no one will remember what once was. Out of breath and energy, I lay down in the meadow and watch the sun continue its rise, preparing myself for another day. A day spent hiding myself yet being the most free I have ever been at the same time. Today, I start again...

The Book Fairy Reviews's review

Have you read the warning? Yes,this story focuses of Cancer. Get your tissues ready ladies because I don't think that a story has been written yet that goes into detail about the treatment of cancer. With that said, here is what I think about this story.
Sad? Yes. Beautiful? Hell Yes! Sexy and Smoldering? A triple Hell Yes!!! Does it have an HEA? You bet your sweet patootie!
Ander has been living with guilt and regret making him a shell of a man. Focused on his career he realizes the moment his angel walks through the door that he has not been living simply existing.
Leire, has lived and survived the a life that is filled with surgeries and chemotherapy to the point of near death. Alone she has decided that she will embrace her broken and beaten body by getting a tattoo to change how she sees herself. Knowing that her body is scarred from the surgeries and biopsies she decides to cover them up and make her body a work of art. She never in a million years knew that her life would change when she walks into the tattoo shop, that she would come to face with her future, her hero, her love never to be alone again.

Yes ladies you will cry, you will laugh and you will swoon. This story is told from both of their POV's so you will go from one to another. Incredibly sexy, Ander loves his dirty talk and being the alpha that he his suffering from loss he controls what he can~ the bedroom. Loving Leire, becomes Ander's sole purpose in life, his goal to see and hear her laugh.
Yes, ladies you will cry, you will love and you will be so proud of the woman that Leire is a true heroin someone you daughters should look up to. Some one with strength, a heart and passion.
Yes, I cried and I embraced the story of Ander and his Lerie!
