SWEET VICTORY
Small-town football star Drew Dunne sacrificed everything for friendship and guilt. He’s spent most of his life unloved and unwanted. A kind touch, a gentle smile, an encouraging word are all wisps of memory from before the accident. For him there is only family, duty, loyalty. And longing. Until he meets Allison.
When Allison Bennett looks in the mirror, she sees a woman whose life has gone from bad to worse. At the mercy of an abusive husband, sweet tenderness is something she can only dream about…until she finds it in the arms of Drew Dunne.
Not every sacrifice is worthwhile, not every promise is worth keeping, and events in a small Georgia town will test this pair to the very depths of their souls, but at the end of the journey is the truth that—if you’re willing to pay the price—true love can conquer all. Drew Dunne will finally be with the woman he loves. Or die trying
Rina’s Thoughts
This book was intense. it was about a man and a woman both abused in their own marriages. When they find each other they suddenly have motivation to leave their cursed lives and finally find happiness. But things don’t go as planned. I’m shocked an entire town could be so rotten. It got to a point i was wishing Drew would start killing them off. I know it’s wrong to say but I cheered once they started dropping like flies.
I wish we could have seen more of their HEA but I’m glad Drew finally manned up.
Thank you for the review. I would like to point out the book is not self-published. It was put out by Boroughs Group Publishing which is a royalty-paying indie publisher.
