Never to Keep (Accepting Fate Book 1)

by Aimie Grey
Madison Miller is broken. Everyone she’s loved throughout her life has left her in one way or another. Her father died when she was ten years old. Her mother left to return to Spain. Now she’s watching her only brother’s casket descend into the ground after a fatal accident. Plus her boyfriend since the sixth grade is dumping her for “not being enough”.
Madison escapes from the funeral, heading to a hotel bar to drown her sorrows. There she meets a stranger who awakens something inside of her. He helps her forget that life is a series of losses. For one night she gains someone to care for her. In those stolen moments, nothing else matters. The next morning, though, all she can feel is guilt, so she slips away without saying goodbye.
Madison is devoted to those she loves and would do anything for her family. She finds herself moving back home when her brother’s widow needs help caring for their seven-year-old daughter. Little does she know, she will soon face the biggest challenge of her life.
In the near future, fate will have their paths cross again, and the question will be whether this complicated but caring woman can convince this distrustful and disillusioned man to believe in falling in love for the first time in his life. Will passion and desire be enough to surmount all of life’s obstacles, or will the threat of heartache and overwhelming responsibility keep these two lovers apart forever?

At first it was hard to get into the story. But once I did,
I began to connect with Madison Miller. I felt her struggle with the death of
her brother, her sister-in-law’s breakdown and her determination to take care
of her niece.
I can’t say I connected all that well with Sawyer. He seemed
to be all over the place with his thoughts and actions. At times I did want to
slap him for listening to his brother’s advice.
There is a lot going on in this book, but in the end the
pieces come together. I do think that some of the plot elements could’ve been
cleared up early on in the book, and some scenes could’ve been deleted to pick
up the pace of the story.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. The writing was well done, and
I look forward to reading more from Ms. Grey.
