How am I
supposed to review this story while I'm so overwhelmed??? I have so many
feelings that I want to share with you but can't find the right words to
describe them...
Vivid by
Jessica Wilde - wow wow wow! what this book made me feel - it's beyond
words!
I have a soft
spot for soldiers, being an Israeli, it's kind of a national soft spot.
In Israel we
all join the Army at the age of 18 and serve our country for 2-3 years. I know
what is like to connect with the ones that serve with you - The connection
is so strong. It's brotherhood, or in my case, sisterhood.
This is what
Vivid is all about and this is why I feel all this feelings.
5 super
shining stars for a perfectly written story about loss, hope and survival.
Merrick
Thatcher is a soldier with all his heart and soul. He joined the army after he finished
high school and never left, until one horrible attack in Iraq forced him to
take a break. And by "taking a break" I mean – changed his life
completely. He was seriously injured and even lost his sight.
From the most active
person he has always been, he now sits in a wheel chair and totally blind. The
only things he can see, are the pictures and nightmares that are still hunting
him every day and every night.
Asking for
help is not an option while regret, frustration and anger are the only feelings
he can live with – until he meets Grace…
Grace has also
been through hell after losing her child and the one who was supposed to be by
her side. She is strong and by being his homecare nurse, she starts breaking Merrick's
protective walls. Her singing becomes his medicine and his feelings for her are
the reason he keeps trying and never gives up on his recovery.
Their
attraction for one another is so strong, that even though Merrick can't see
anything, he can feel her in any way possible.
Together they
learn how to heal Merrick's scars – internal and exterior – and do it with so
much honor and grace for the ones who lost their lives on the battle field.
Any other words
I will write here, won't do justice to this AMAZING story! Jessica wrote it
perfectly – she told the story and made sure that every word went straight to
our hearts.
I laughed, I
cried, I was extremely horny (Merrick is a god!!!) but most of all –
I never wanted it to end!
Thank you
Jessica for sharing with us Grace & Merrick's special journey!
Thank you so much for this incredible review! I can't thank you enough for taking a chance on me and I'm so thrilled you love Merrick & Grace as much as I do! Thank you thank you thank you!
