One Choice (Hogan Brother’s Book 2)

By K.L. Donn

From when I met Levi when he was but Nox’s brother in One Chance, to when I finally got to read his story, I was hooked. His tale, while lighter than Nox and Sophia’s, was no less striking, as, once again, KL Donn gave me a story that I could relate to.

Frustration at feeling lost, not knowing where he stands in life like something was missing. Envy at seeing others –Nox and Sophia— find their happiness. Anger at himself for being jealous of his siblings. Of thinking that he needed to prove something just to belong, that was Levi in a nutshell.

Hayes Morrison. The girl with the haunted eyes. The girl who stole his breath. The girl he wanted to caress. Shit on a stick. Stick a fork in him, he was done.

— KL Donn

Hayes herself reminded me of the “humanness” of life. Of losing a loved one, of feeling guilty for being alive, for despair when knowing that even if she was alive, she has lost herself.

Two lost souls are given a voice by this wonderful story. Two wonderful, broken people who saw in each other a love worth fighting for.

“I’ll always choose you, Levi.” His happiness radiating back at her was so intense, nearly blinding, that a tear escaped her eye. His joy immediately turned to concern upon seeing it. “What’s this?” A finger swiped the tear away. “Happiness, Levi. That is what my happiness is.” Leaning his forehead to hers, his whispered words washed over her. “Yeah, it is.”

Thank you again, KL Donn.

Dear reader, don’t just read the surface of Levi and Hayes’ story, listen to them speak to your inner child. For that matter, go treasure-hunting for all the lovely quotes the author was generous enough to gift us with.

Because love alone is worth the fight.
