Release and Review: Before Us

 

 

Before Us by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

 

I never saw him coming.

I didn't know what would happen after my client found me sleeping in my car.

I'd been cleaning his house as his wife was dying.

I didn't expect them to invite me to live with them.

I didn't expect Suzie to become my lifeline—until she was gone.

I didn't expect him to ask me to marry him when he found out I needed medical insurance.

I didn't expect to fall in love with a grieving man.

There are so many reasons to keep my distance from Zach. Every tender moment secreted away.

When we're not together, I miss the man I call husband.

Does he miss his wife? If so, which one?

Grab your tissues!  You will need them at the start, somewhere in the middle and in the end.  The lives of Zach and Em weave together in ways they could never imagine.  Brought together by necessity and then kept together out of kindness, caring, love. 

I loved Emersyn's spirit. Her willingness to go in with eyes wide open.  I do wish when it came to Zach, she would have spoke up about her feelings sooner.  Lots of angst in the book. Are things too taboo? age-gap? death bed promises? It takes a long time for her to get her head on straight only to have Zach not be in the same place or frame of mind. 

The writing is excellant. I read almost everything by this author. My 4 stars are not 5 because I feel she has done this trope over again. Yes, there is a little bit of a twist but the overall theme of we must separate to find ourselves. Travel the world until we know what we want. Somehow make our way back to each other.  It's a good trope but I am looking for something fresh from this author. 

Emersyn makes the story. Zach is a good man but took WAY too long to get himself sorted.  First read of this author--pick it up--you will have all the feels.  

*I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
