Grieving the loss of Rhett's dad, and learning to forgive those who have betrayed her, Kori was battling it all. But will she ever have the strength to forgive Reed?
Forgiving Reed was a story about young love that was lost because of a mistake, a mistake that cost Reed the love of his life. But with loss comes redemption and that is what happens with this story. I found myself glued to my kindle while reading about Reed and Kori's story. I would give this book a 4 star. I will most definitely be recommending this to others. This is the first story that I have read by C.A. Harms but I plan on reading more from her in the future. Oh and the cover of this book was seriously hot! I love me a sexy cowboy! This story does have a wicked twist at the beginning that left my heart shattered a bit so you will need a few tissues but C.A. will put those shattered bits back together. This is a standalone and even though its a roller coster ride there is an HEA and I am grateful for that.. I think I have had my fill of cliffy's for a while!

C.A. Harms is like any other addicted reader. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories. She hasn't always been a lover of Romance and had once been addicted to a good Mystery. Just recently she has taken on a new liking and now is a full blown Romance novel addict.
She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. You will always find her with her kindle or paperback in hand as it is her favorite pass time.
