Publisher Description
I gave my heart to a Navy SEAL.
He took it with him to his grave.
Eleven years later, ignoring the yawning void is as automatic as breathing. Working brutal hours, dating a comfortably commitment-phobic guy, hanging with my best friends. Anything until exhaustion—or an extra glass of wine—claims my consciousness.
And then my comfort zone is invaded by Anderson Hawkins' piercing green eyes.
He says he’s a tattoo artist, but his mastery of the short answer, weird schedule, and military ink tell a different story.
His touch ignites a long-dead flame inside me.
But can I touch it without being completely scorched from the inside out?
I'm at the edge of a cliff. I just don't know if he'll catch me until I fall.
Note: This contemporary romance contains a former military hero accustomed to treading dangerous ground, and a wary, overworked doctor who’s a military widow in every way but name, brought together by a few unexpected twists and turns—and maybe the machinations of a cute dog.
Customer Reviews
Emotional
What an emotional roller coaster of a listen Until I Fall was. I was moved to tears on a number of occasions, the sign of a well written, emotional story and something I have come to expect from Claudia Burgoa.
Aspen was left devastated when her Navy Seal partner was killed. However the caring doctor threw herself into her job, refusing to open her heart again to the possibility of love. Anderson Hawkins is the tattoo artist with a secret life who is her neighbour and one she has noticed despite herself. He retired from Delta Force but is still involved in clandestine operations as needed.
There are moments were the story moved from the present to the past but not enough to be a distraction. The friendships between Aspen and her girlfriends was at times frustrating and heart warming. I admit I fell hard and fast for Hugo the dog, he was an entertaining bonus’ he brought some happiness and humour.
The losses that the characters went through were palpable and the narrators Zachary Webber and Isabel Del Castillo expressed the emotions well with their performances. They brought the characters and this emotional story to life for me.
Really meaningful story of love and loss
This book is one of my favourites now. It really triggers the heart with the way it’s written. Having lost many loved ones it’s exactly what I needed to read. Shows the ups and downs of love & how to overcome loss & love life to the fullest.
Great read, hope to read more like it soon. Defiantly going to read more of Claudia’s books next.
