Genre- Contemporary Romance 

Blurb-
How can you ever love again when tragedy has crushed your heart?

Kathleen used to love life. She had plans, dreams, and faith in life; but that was before the accident that took it all away from her in an instant. Now that her beloved brother is dead and she's confined to a wheelchair, her future is but a dark cloud hovering above her head. How can she ever find the will to move on and keep living without him? Even the cares of the happy-go-lucky American physiotherapist who's helping her with her rehab therapies are all in vain. Life seems to have lost its meaning, until one night she receives an unexpected celestial visit…

Colin has been working as a physiotherapist in Dublin for almost five years, but he’s never bonded so much with a patient like he is bonding with Kathleen; there's something about those sad blue eyes that makes him want to help her, to take away the pain that reminds him so much of his own. Having lost both his parents in a plane crash when he was only sixteen, Colin knows how it feels to have someone you love taken so abruptly away from you, and he makes it his mission to help Kathleen find her faith in life again. But something changes along the way…

Sometimes love can work miracles. If you believe.

~~~~~Kj's Review~~~~~
  Kathleen lost her everything when her brother died, she didn’t want to believe in anything, just couldn’t let go of the fact he was gone now. Enter Colin, her physiotherapist who has taken her under his wing, wants to help her get better. All the good Colin can do Kathleen shoots down, holding on to her grief and loss. Can Colin change her mind? Does she the ability to move past her grief and live again? Is anything worth it?
  First of all let me say I loved this book, it moved me and made me feel so many things. Anyone who has ever suffered a loss will be able to empathize with Kathleen, BUT…at the same time you root for Colin to break through to her and help her live again. My first name being Kathleen, I get the stubborn, I too am a stubborn soul and could see myself doing exactly what she did. I cannot say enough good things about this book, I recommend it highly. Thanks to Ms. Capizzi for giving me her book to read and review, it was a pleasure!! I give this book 5 stars.

Meet The Author


An avid reader since her childhood years and being an only child, Roberta always enjoyed the company of her fictional friends from the children’s books she loved reading, while she dreamed of writing her own stories one day.
It was when she discovered novels by authors Rosamunde Pilcher and Maeve Binchy in her teenage years that she realized it was time she put down in words the stories she had kept well hidden in her mind until then.
What started as a hobby, soon turned into a real passion and a way of life, until she could no longer keep the stories to herself, and decided to get over her fears and share them with the world.
Roberta lives in Italy, but her dream is to move out of her country and live either in a thatched cottage in the Irish countryside or in a country house with a swing on the back porch, somewhere in the United States, where she would love to spend her days writing novels as a full-time job, and maybe one day even get as far as writing a screenplay for a movie.

~~~~Amy's Review ~~~~
 I really enjoyed reading this book. When I first agreed to read this book as a review post, I had no idea it was part of a series, and not the first book in the series. I know after reading this book that I want to go back and check out the books in the series I ended up skipping over. It is a well written story, that is very unique. I haven't read any books with the ferryman in them up until now, and I found it to be so interesting. I was very overjoyed to read Aria being a female leader, especially since it isn't too often I have found stories with a female lead. I also really liked how one guy was ready to take on his own kind, by himself, to save a village from the corrupt evil threatening it. The other part that really caught my attention is what happened when the ferryman did step ashore. I have only ever heard of the ferryman and the boat, never him being ashore, what a fresh take. Thank you Rhiannon. I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series. It was such a pleasure reading this one.

*****Kj's Review*****
 I found the blurb for this book to be very interesting so when I got the chance to read and review for a blog post I was excited. Did that excitement end you ask, was the book all that? Oh my yes it is, I loved this book. I loved poor alcoholic Cade struggling to make things right and damaged Francesca wanting everything to be made right. It was a beautifully done story of love gone wrong earlier in life….to the present can we work this all out and make it right if we try really hard. 
 They both have demons to fight, wrongs to right, and once and for all, stories to be told. Ms. Tatum does a fantastic job of balancing it all out while holding the reader’s attention. I recommend this book to anyone, it is a very good read. I want to thank Felicia Tatum for allowing me to read and review her book, I very much enjoyed it. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

*****Kj's Review*****
 I am not usually one to read mysteries, but something about p.m. terrell’s books interested me. So I dove right into Exit 22 and soon was enjoying my journey through a very well written mystery. When Christopher Sandige joined Brenda Carnegie for a meal who would know the journey he would take with her? The mysteries and the not quite the whole story explanations she gave him. But, she was a beautiful woman in trouble and he wanted to save her, problem was he was now in trouble too. Off they ride into a turning, twisting mystery that wouldn’t fail to thrill any mystery lover’s heart. I want to thank Ms. terrell for giving me her book to read and review, you have made a mystery fan out of me.
