Review
I was very excited to read this book after absolutely loving The Brightest Light of Sunshine, and while it was okay, this was not quite the sequel I was hoping for. The beginning was drawn out in many places and I didn’t like the adult version of Maddie. I was expecting a more appreciative, strong and kind Maddie after getting to know Cal and Grace in the first book, but what we get here is a depressed whiney Maddie. It was really hard to get into it.
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 2 in the The Brightest Light Series. Each book in this series features a different couple and can be read as a complete standalone. But for maximum enjoyment, follow the recommended reading order.
- The Brightest Light of Sunshine
- The Darkest Corner of the Heart
- The Deepest End of Love
❝ And the first step to achieve that is to come to terms with the fact that my present doesn’t look like I envisioned it, but it doesn’t mean it has to be terrible.❞
❝ Life has a funny way of giving you exactly what your soul needs, even if it’s not what your heart initially wanted.❞
❝ We all have a past; what counts is that we learn from it and get better.❞

Forbidden.
That’s what they are to each other.
Maddie Stevens has never felt good enough.
Not good enough to keep her parents’ love. Not good enough to be independent and stop being her brother’s problem. Not good enough to build the future she wants.
When she injures her ankle before a ballet audition that could change her career forever, she’s convinced her life is over at twenty-one. What’s the point of having dreams when they can go down the drain at any moment?
And because the universe has a cruel sense of humor, her physical therapist turns out to be a tank-shaped grouch who doesn’t even seem to like her that much. It’s totally unfair that, for six weeks, she’s forced to look at that handsome beard and listen to that deep voice that makes her head all dizzy. Top that with the fact that he’s ten years her senior, and falling for James Simmons is a recipe for disaster.
But when their forced proximity makes the lines start blurring, the forbidden temptation becomes impossible to resist.
Content This book contains themes of alcoholism, drugs, profanity, death, and explicit sexual scenes. Recommended for mature readers only.
