Love Affair With Ficti

Falling apart. Barely breathing. How can I go on without you?

Karly Erikson’s fairy tale ending comes to an abrupt halt as she slowly adjusts to life without being in the arms of the man she loves.

Nicholas Hayes makes a decision, which changes his entire life. Living with the decision he’s made, every day is a struggle. His heart only knows one love-Karly Erikson.

When Karly returns to Wilmington, the choices she makes will put what’s left of her heart on the line. Is she ready to fight for what’s truly hers?

 

Do you know that feeling when a knife is in your heart, twisting and turning? Do you know what it’s like to have a car run you over a million times? That’s how I’m feeling. Rage builds in me and, instead of screaming and yelling, I sit in front of Larry, numb and frozen.

“I can’t do this, Larry. I’m fucking human, you know? I have feelings!”

He brings me into his arms and tries to calm me down. “I know and that’s what I told him.”

I can’t give Nicholas what he needs, even though it’s what I truly want. I refuse to break up his marriage and be the one that he uses to escape from Jamie. If something is up and he’s doing this because she’s manipulating him, then that’s a different story and I’ll beg him to leave her. I don’t know the whole story and I’m not sure if I even will get the story. A little voice in my head keeps screaming at me to fight for the man I love. But I don’t know if that’s the right answer.

“I’m gonna go lie down. Thanks for the coffee,” I mutter.

Back in my room, in my safety area, I place the steaming cup of coffee on my nightstand and lie down, facing the balcony.

Tearing away from the sun rising, I force my mind back to sleep. It’s been the longest few nights without Nicholas. I don’t know where to go or what to do. I can’t forget him. Every time I close my eyes, I see his eyes, his smile; I see everything. My chest fills with ache. Sitting here crying over him while everyone else is living kills me. The fight in me is slowly going away. Unable to stand the silence I open my music app on my phone and play a song I haven’t heard in a few weeks – our song. It plays over and over again so I can remember our dance and how I felt when he was holding me. Everything feels heavy and miserable. I scream into my pillow and pray that I can be taken away. I don’t care if we weren’t together for a long time. When it comes to love, there’s no measurement in time. It’s how love makes you feel and it made me feel whole. I’d give anything to feel that way again.

 

Jill’s Review

Vision of Destiny by S. Moose picks up right where Vision of Love left us.

Both Nicholas and Karly are broken and hurting in this book. But as they are shaped by their pasts, their communication with each other and trust in each other is not as they each hope it would be. After the decision Nicholas made to be with his ex-wife will he and Karly ever find a way back to each other, the family they have created and true love?

This book was a rollercoaster of emotions. I couldn’t help but have my heartbreak over and over for both Karly AND Nicholas. Yes, he was the one who put this train wreck in motion but the poor misguided man really thought he was doing the right thing. He just needed to learn to open up and trust those he loves the most. And can we talk Jamie? Hmmm…maybe we shouldn’t and I’ll let you draw your own conclusions! Let’s just leave it at – Not. A. Fan. At. All. Anyone that would allow a child to get caught up in drama – well I scratch them off of my list!

I recommend this book, however please read Vision of Love first to get the most out of this one.

I received a complimentary copy of Vision of Destiny in exchange for my honest review.
