Synopsis:

After an intense whirlwind romance, Karrie Parker thought she had it all: a sexy husband, a loving family, a great career and a beautiful home.

Together they lived a life fit for royalty.

But when tragedy strikes, Karrie is devastated and left to face the consequences of her husband’s deepest, darkest secrets. Discovering the strength to carry on while making important, life-changing decisions, she finds herself desperate for answers. And holding the key to the puzzle is the one man she loathes immensely.

For up and coming motorcycle drag racer Tyler Strong, keeping painful secrets was never part of the plan. Racing motorcycles and winning was all he ever wanted to do, but when his best friend’s lies begin to unravel, Tyler is sent into a tailspin when he’s forced to come face to face with the one woman he vowed to stay away from. The woman he refuses to speak to, the woman he avoids, the woman he watches…from a distance.

As the truth becomes clear, will destiny bring these two unlikely souls together or tear them apart forever?

***SPOILER FREE***

From a Distance was heart wrenching and sob worthy. Have a glass of wine and a box of tissues at hand because trust me when I say, you are going to need them!!!

oh….my….god! this book was freaking unbelievable and full of twists that even I didn’t see coming!

This book has made my Top Reads of 2017 list.

For fear of giving away spoilers or spoiler related content I’m not going to dive into the story line.One thing i would HIGHLY recommend though, go into this novel COMPLETELY blind. Don’t read the synopsis or spoiler type reviews, you will get way more out of the book emotionally!

This is a first time read for me from L.M. Carr and I have to say, i will definitely be checking out more books from this author!

FREAKING AMAZING!!!!!

I’m not going to lie, From A Distance literally tore my heart out of my chest and I may or may not have had a few minor anxiety attacks to the point my boyfriend stole my kindle from me! No lie this novel gutted me, i was an emotional mess by the middle…it only took less than half the novel to make me this way.

Karrie is so unbelievably strong for going through what she did and even though Tyler is portrayed as a good man in this novel, I felt ‘a few seconds’ of hatred for him. How in the hell could he stand back and watch her husband pull the shit he did and not say anything. but then the anger and hatred went away and i went back to loving Mr. Strong.

If you’re looking for an angsty novel or even an ugly cry novel From a Distance by L.M. Carr is a book I highly recommend in both categories!

Peace Love and Happy Reading,
