REVIEW: Unloved, a love story by Katy Regnery





Unloved by Katy Regnery



The sins of the father. The burden of the son.

My name is Cassidy Porter...

My father, Paul Isaac Porter, was executed twenty years ago for the brutal murder of twelve innocent girls.

Though I was only eight-years-old at the time, I am aware - every day of my life - that I am his child, his only son.

To protect the world from the poison in my veins, I live a quiet life, off the grid, away from humanity.

I promised myself, and my mother, not to infect innocent lives with the darkness that swirls within me, waiting to make itself known.

It's a promise I would have kept...if Brynn Cadogan hadn't stumbled into my life.

Now I exist between heaven and hell: falling for a woman who wants to love me, while all along reminding myself that I must remain...

Unloved.

**NOTE: This book is intended for readers 18+** 


Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


This was such a STUNNING read! This author's words are pure magic. I was completely spellbound all the way through. It was a haunting, heartbreaking, beautiful tale of two lost souls finding one another.

"I long for someone. In my loneliest moments, I long for someone so fiercely, it aches."

Brynn Cadogan is still grieving for the brutal loss of her fiancé. In a moment of clarity, she decides to travel to Maine and climb Mount Katadhin to lay his memory to rest.

"My body, which is hard and strong from years of work, longs for a woman's touch. I dream nightly of what it would be like to be kissed or held."

Cassidy Porter lives quiet. His heritage haunts him and he lives isolated, alone and lonely, with only the occasional contact with other people.

"Everything about her calls out to me, captivates me, makes me long to speak to her and hear her voice."

When he sees Brynn for the first time, she is the most beautiful creature he has ever set eyes on. His initial obsession with her turns out to be her salvation. 

"Everything is Brynn. And I am addicted to everything."

Brynn and Cassidy become wrapped up in their tiny world as she heals physically. As the days pass, she finds herself drawn more and more to her saviour, and she finds her emotional scars healing, too. However, Cassidy can't risk having a relationship or any kind of future with her, no matter how much he yearns for it. So, he savours as many moments with her as he can before she has to go back to her own life.

"You are the greatest treasure of my life."

Gah! This book had my heart full to bursting. It was such a beautiful, heartbreaking story, full of yearning, desire and need. The desperation for a normal life sprung up in Cassidy from the moment he met Brynn. 

"I saw the colors of his heart and I loved them all."

Brynn was so grateful, so touched, so affected by Cassidy's goodness and thoughtfulness. His care of her brought her to her knees. I loved how much she wanted to help him find his peace.

"She is my life, my beating heart, my angel and my salvation."

I was just so utterly entranced by this story and how it progressed along with a satisfying twist and a gratifying conclusion. A definite Top Read 2017 for me and top recommendation.
