Estranged Heart by Ashlynn Mills

There is a fine balance you have to master when writing about heavy subjects like death of a spouse, a life threatening illness, cheating and violence and in this book Ashlynn Mills does so. 

The book is gut wrenching, suspenseful and sad but at the same time you feel hope and love. You equally love and dislike the characters and the choices they make. This is where the balance kicks in. 

You as a reader are invited to an emotional roller coaster and along the way you understand why the characters make the decisions that they make. And you have to question yourself what would you have done in the same situation!?

The book's essence is grounded in the questions; Can your heart love someone you have never met? And if you meet said person, what should you do?

Silas and Elijah have to work for their HEA, and the journey is long and lined with many obstacles. I don't want to spoil the book, so you have to bear with me when I am being vague. I am including the blurb in my post, so that you know something before you pick the book up. 

Overall I was stressing and fretting, which seems to be my constant mode when reading these days. But I also couldn't put the book down, I needed to know what would happen next.

The book is an absolute must read but I want to caution you to read warnings in the beginning of the book, because of the subjects handled in this book.
