Because sometimes even a phoenix needs help to rise…
Out of the Ashes.
I was enraptured from the start. Out Of The Ashes is a heavy read but it’s beautifully written. R.C. Boldt touches you with what happens when a soldier is captured, tortured and then coming back from the ashes.
Hendy has lived in hell and is always reminded when he looks in the mirror. But he has to finally learn what it is deep inside himself. To finally be him again. He needs to face his obstacles but he needs help. Dr. Presley Cole has her work cut out for her with Hendy. With working one-on-one, she can see beneath his broken soul. While being together, their chemistry was insanely hot. A bond formed and even love and commitment. But Presley knew they could never be together unless he was able to look pass his looks. He needs to find himself.
Out Of The Ashes is a story that I couldn’t put down. It does deal with heavy situations. War happens but it doesn’t always have a positive outcome. But with a support system and asking for help, you can do anything.
