Through Fire

Portland, ME Series

De: Freya Barker

Narrado por: Brian Rodgers, Lorelei Avalon

Violence corroded her.... Obedience defiled her.... Fear kept her chained.... Freedom is hard to embrace when she's never learned to trust. Yet in the span of a second, she grabs a single opportunity and runs toward it. Straight into the sanctuary of a pub at the end of a wharf. She doesn't understand the concept of friendship. She's never felt the connection of a relationship. She's as innocent as the driven snow and yet tainted with corruption. Still, she finds herself surrounded by people who accept her, without even knowing the first thing about her. But one of them is determined to dig deeper. He treasures his friends, yet he's steered clear of committed relationships. He likes his life comfortably predictable and entirely controlled. Until it isn't. For months he's avoided interacting with The Skipper's newest addition. Perhaps realizing that once he looked deeply into those liquid brown eyes, he wouldn't be able to turn away. When his present and her past puts them both on the brink of change, they are forged through fire as one.

Narration Was Ok

Some time had passed between me reading the previous book with Tim in it and this one. So, my dislike of Tim's behavior had dulled somewhat. Tim managed to redeem himself completely in this book.

The subject matter of this book was difficult. Even having to imagine what Ruby endured for the length of time was difficult. When Nina was introduced, that added heartbreaking to it because of her age. Nina and Ruby were at two different stages of recovery, and I just felt thankful that Ruby, Tim, and Pam were there for her.

I did feel like the subject matter completely overshadowed the romance. The friendships and sense of family were enhanced, but the "romance" felt almost non-existent to me. It seemed like there was no chemistry between Tim and Ruby other than caring for each other and Ruby feeling grateful.

It was still a good read, but not high on the romance scale for me.

Beautifully written

Rosie has had so much heartbreak in her life until she gets a job at the Skipper where she meets Tim. I loved the relationship between them and it was beautiful to watch Rosie come alive and flourish. Narrators Brian Rodgers and Lorelei Avalon were amazing.
