Imperfect
Willow Winters - 2017
It’s been a long time since I’ve looked at a man and wanted something more.Even longer since one has looked at me with a gaze that I couldn’t tear my eyes from. One look and I was tempted; one taste and I was addicted. No one is perfect, but that’s how it felt to be in his arms. I started to think everything was going to be alright. That life had finally put the pieces of my broken heart back together. Fate may have brought us together, it’s a pretty little thought my poetic mind had. But there’s no doubt that the sins of his past would tear us apart. “Reading this book leaves you with raw feelings and can break your heart. A very intense love story packed in one single book.” Andrea, early review
