Blurb: There are things that women want, and things that women need. I know deep down, with every fiber in my body, that I need Mr. Ward.

He started out as my landscape designer, but became so much more. Now, my life is on the line while living with the devil himself. I have been torn down and broken, and I don’t think I can take anymore.

The man I need was never the one I married. No, the man I need is the one I was never supposed to have. He’s the one who showed me gentleness, kindness, and true love.

Ward would put up a fight for me at any cost. I know for a fact, I could be so much happier with him…

But when I come face-to-face with reality, I’m not sure if I’m brave enough to risk it all for someone I’ve just met, even if it seems like Mr. Ward and I are a match made in heaven.

   

Excerpt When I hear a door slam upstairs, I weakly push up to a stand. I sniffle loudly as I clean up the broken shards from the glass, careful not to cut myself with any of it. I wipe up the water and spaghetti next, leaving the stained red rag in the sink.

Turning toward the double doors, I draw in a shaky breath and push them open. I walk out, crossing the patio to get to the gate that leads to the beach.

I don’t know why, but I feel numb now. My mind is reeling, but my body moves, doing its own thing.

Wrapping my arms around myself as soon as my feet hit the sand, I walk close to the shoreline and finally, my mind syncs with my body.

I break down, knees hitting the gravelly sand as my face lands in my hands.

I’m not sure how long I cry, sob after sob taking over me, but when I stop, the sunset that was just ahead of me is barely visible now.

My Review:



The Man I Need by Shanora Williams is book 2 in the Ward Duet. This continues Gabrielle Moore and Marcel Ward's emotional rollercoaster story. 
Book 1 ended on a shocking cliffhanger and book 2 picks up right where book 1 left off. The subject matter in this story is heavier than the previous book and may be 
a trigger for some readers. I want to start by saying this but don't let that deter you from reading this story. It is raw, gritty, gripping, heartbreaking, emotional, powerful, poignant, forbidden, angsty, steamy, intense, sizzling, captivating, fierce and unconventional. Ms. Williams communicated with a deft hand her characters feelings, thoughts, wants and longings. She is a very talented writer who writes beautiful, heartwarming stories. 
Gabby and Marcel's romance is phenomenal in the sense that it has many layers, complex characters and heartbreaking rollercoaster emotions that take the readers on a harrowing journey. And bravo to Ms. Williams for writing a villian like Gabby's nasty and controlling husband Kyle. This is one romantic suspense/forbidden romance that you do not want to miss!!!!!


My Rating: 4.7 stars ******
