Release Blitz w/ Review: Between Him and Us by Nicole Richard

Review

Between Him and Us is the fourth novel in the She’s Beautiful series and can be read as a standalone. It was an angtsy read that really tugged on my heart.

Lilly has known great love, she had it with her husband until she lost him while he was serving in the Air Force. My heart just ached for her. It’s been around a year and a half since she lost Tyler, but her heart still hurts as if it were just yesterday. She doesn’t know how to move on and doesn’t know if she can, even though everyone around her tells her it will help her to heal.

Easton moved home after losing his Grandmother and he is helping at his Aunt’s flower shop. He meets Lilly by chance in the cemetery and again in the flower shop. Each time he feels a pull towards her, and a desire to get to know her better. Lilly is hesitant at first, but slowly she begins opening herself up to the possibility of being friends with Easton, and then maybe something more. I LOVED Easton. He was an incredibly soft, kind and patient man. He put Lilly’s needs first and was very understanding when she struggled with letting go and moving on, giving them a chance. He listened to her, comforted her, and backed off when she needed some space, while still letting her know he wasn’t going anywhere far. As the reader, his feelings for her were easily felt as they developed, growing deeper as the story progressed. It took her more time, but it was sweet watching as Lilly began to recognize and accept the feelings and emotions that Easton was stirring to life within her.

This is a heart-breaking, realistic and beautiful story. I very much enjoyed every word and I would recommend it to those who love second-chance romances about finding love again after loss.
