Today is the day – the day that the man I love marries
someone else. I don’t deserve pity or sympathy. I’ve made my bed. I left Mason
and ripped his heart to pieces as I ran away. The guilt and sorrow consume me,
threatening to choke me everyday.
But today is a new beginning. Today is the day I will wake
up with a renewed resolve and determination to do better … to be better … to be
worthy. My name is Sara Preston, and this is my story about what happens after.
Hope Over Fear can be read as a stand alone novel.

This is a great and enjoyable read. The book starts off with Sara and her ex,
Mason. From the conversation, I thought
Sara cheated on him, and I really didn't want to like her because of that. But as the book progressed, and the truth
comes out, there is no way you can't like her.
Sara is a nurse in labor and delivery. She also helps with adoptions. This is why
she starts a volunteer position at a community center. Sara just needs to finish moving past what
happened with Mason. She needs to
forgive herself and know her worth.
Adam works as a volunteer at the center also. He is a single dad to 4 yr old twins.
The first meeting between these two is great. Sara doesn't take his crap, she gives it
right back to him and puts him in his place.
Both of these characters are great.
I actually love all the characters in this book, especially Margo. Margo is very funny and has no filter at
all! Can't wait to read more.
Perfection. One word. Three syllables. Every reason why I’ll
never have the one thing I truly want. I stand dutifully on the pedestal he’s
built, waiting for the day he truly sees me.
Then one amazing night, he lets down his walls, only to
leave me the next day.
Years have passed, and I’ve tried to move on with my life.
But I still dream of him. I still miss him everyday. The memories haunt me. How
can I look to the future when my past remains a mystery? The time has come to
find the boy who stole my heart and ran away without a word.
But not everyone who is lost wants to be found.
My name is Alexandra Fontaine, and this is my story of
unfinished love.
Wings Over Poppies is book #2 in the Over series and can be

This is the second book in J.A. Derouen's Over series. They are stand alones, so don't need to be
read in order. i am really enjoying this
series.
Alex has been in love with West since she was 17 years
old. Since that first Sunday morning
they met under the tree by the water.
But life separated them. She went
to art school in New York, while he enlisted in the Army. He never returned her emails, and never
contacted Alex.
It's been 6 years since thehy parted. Alex needs closure, she needs to know where
he is. If he is alive. She needs to be able to move on, but none of
her dates ever compare to West.
What happens when she does find him? He isn't the same, but no one is when they
return from war.
West isn't the same person anymore. He has both physical, mental, and emotional
scars. He still loves Alex, but those
invisible scars, are keeping him away.
She deserves so much more than a soldier with PTSD, or so he thinks.
Both of these characters are fighters though!
"Our love is not effortless. We've clawed our way through the brush and
fire to get here today. But aren't the
things we bleed for the most precious?"
