Synopsis
Mary Persephone Hail
Mary—well-wished-for child.
Persephone—destruction.
Hail—well that speaks for itself.
Her name is painful to think about. Mary, his newfound daughter, isn’t a wished-for child. Persephone, though? Yeah, destruction is a fitting description. And Hail? Yeah, that’s just the final f-you.
The moment that her mother drops her off on his doorstep, Dante’s hell becomes complete.
Or so he thinks.
What can make life worse after losing one’s wife and kids, you ask? Here’s what: being given a baby that depends on him for her survival. Finding out that the baby’s mother is dying of brain cancer, and has a husband that he never knew about. A husband that Dante knows in the marrow of his bones is trying to kill her just as surely as the cancer eating her brain.
Dante’s a bad person. He’s done some not so nice things, and now he’s being punished for his misdeeds. Karma is finally catching up to him.
This child that he’s been stuck with is of his flesh and bone. This child is his salvation. This child is the final nail in the coffin of his wife and daughters’ too short lives.
He doesn’t want this child.
But this child will save him whether he wants her to or not.
With the help of a friend—yes, a woman friend—Dante finds his way back to life. But what he finds when he gets back isn’t the same life that he left behind. Turns out, he has to start living a new one. One where he’s suddenly having feelings for a friend that helped him get through some tough times, and loving a daughter that won’t let him quit.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This
book almost broke me. Ever since i started Lani Lynn Vale's books,
especially when it comes to her MC genre, there's always been Dante's
story in the background - about the man who's sister killed his family
because of one decision. To have watched him throughout those stories
was heartbreaking. He was haunted. Broken. Damaged. And seemed so guilty
of just being allowed to live. I had so much troubles watching him
interact with his family that i wanted to be the one to bring him back
to the light *yeah, yeah, i know.... it's a very hard dream to have, but
dammit, let me have that at least!!!!*
Sadly,
i personally know the effects of cancer has on a person and their
family members. How it can give you the biggest kick in the nuts when
you've beaten it, only to find out that everything you've done has to be
fought for once again. I also know how sometimes you just want the
suffering to end because it hurts so much. That, this author has done a
fantastic job in bringing to life through Colbie. That woman is pure
strength. She fights and hard, finding the small things to give her
something to live for and i respect her for it.
My
heart was invested in this book. In the characters. And in the journey
they all made. I loved how i got to see characters from some of my
favourite series and even some that i know their stories exist and that
i'll have to track them down so i can read their history as well. This
was the story that made you want to find redemption in a person, for
them to find happiness after everything they've been through, and
mostly, it's the story that makes you want to hear all about the Hail's
and their family so you can feel what family/true love actually is.
