This is a fast wonderful story about loving someone enough to share the burden left behind by unfortunate and heartbreaking events. I enjoyed the experience and recommend this to all ages

That was adorable as heck. I definitely wouldn't mind like an epilogue or another story to see them further down the road. Though I didn't like how his family kept trying to say she was too broken; that irritated me.

A powerful, sweet, short romance

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is the first book I read by this author and it did not disappoint. It was a short, sweet, powerful read. The characters Lucia and Ronan are highly likeable and their chemistry apparent. I am a firm believer in happily ever after, no matter what changes two people have to make in the name of love. It is being together that matters most. I highly recommend and will be reading more of this author's books.

It was amazing how much was packed into such a short book. You got to feel the emotions, the sense of the O'Neill family closeness and the challenges that the M.C.'s face.
Lucia was used to NOT putting down roots, she had traveled a lot for her young years. It's like she never fully unpacked. She always had her "go bag" ready when things got too tough or dangerous. She knew how to run.
Ronan was the complete opposite to her, and her way of living. He grew up loved, valued and with a large loving family; WITH roots. You can see where some of those challenges are going to come from now can't you?

Two Souls by the Sea

Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

This was a wonderful novella of two young souls of opposite lifestyles finding a first love. Lucia Constantine was a masterful ink artist who didn’t believe in love, commitment or marriage & came from a very dysfunctional family. Ronan O’Neil came from a large loving family who owned a family run bar. The two of them met by chance & fell in love but it almost ended there. Never fear it has a happy ending, not a cliff hanger.

Emotionally intense for such a quick read...

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

Seriously?! I should not be getting this emotional over such a short story. Traci Hall manages to pack a lot of punch into a seemingly insignificant word count. There is a lot going on with this story story between the past that had molded Lucia and the romance that builds her up in present, and it is all well developed. The story unfolds to create a true page turner that I wouldn't have been able to put down if I needed to. Love this story.

She finds love and doesn't run awy

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2020

Lucia has had a rough life. She's in love with Ronan, but she doesn't think she can commit. When he proposes, she panics. Can he convince her that their love is real and that she has worth? Can he take things step by step. A sweet novella about love and new beginnings.

I really enjoyed this quick reading novella. It's the first book that I've read by this author and I'm looking forward to reading more.
