In an instant, your life can take a Sharp Left Turn.
Lives will be shattered, including your own.

In separate cities, worlds apart, a silent storm is brewing. For the past three years, two families have lived a devastating lie, and they’re completely unaware.
When a young boy in Atlanta is diagnosed with a serious illness, Easton Wilder prepares for the fight of their lives. But when it rains, it pours, and a situation she thinks can’t possibly get any worse—does. A life-shattering revelation leaves her broken yet determined to do whatever it takes to save him.

Over seven hundred miles away, Trystan Ashby, an arrogant single father with a rocky past, receives a couple of cryptic messages. They set him on edge, but his curiosity gets the best of him, and he reluctantly returns the call. By the end of the conversation, he’s preparing for an impromptu trip to Atlanta. He blazes into the meeting full of wrath and fury, only to be put in his place by a mother who isn’t afraid to stand up to him or anyone who gets in the way of her son’s chance at life.

Can they find the strength to lose it all and gain the unknown?

The Sharp Turn Saga is the story of two families who struggle to not only face the unimaginable but also navigate it, and maybe they’ll even make the most of it

This is the second book we’ve reviewed by this author, and the first book in a new series. Book 1, Sharp Left Turn, was just fantastic! Interior Designer Easton Wilder, known to her friends and family as Easy, is a single mom to her sweet boy, Cameron. When three-year-old Cam is diagnosed with a potentially deadly condition, there’s nothing Easy won’t do to make him better. Too bad there’s not much for her to really do, except face every fear she has head-on, even the frightening, life-changing turns she never saw coming.

Trystan Ashby is a chef that gives Gordan Ramsey a run in the kitchen. He’s a foul-mouthed, hot-headed, womanizer, who is in ultimate control of his life. He has a beautiful, smart, and a bit of a clumsy son, Blake, who he adores and turns into a marshmallow for. When mysterious messages begin to be left on his voicemail, he reacts in a way everyone expects, cautiously, but his take-no-prisoner attitude is the opposite of the tact that’s required of him. He leaves his little dude behind to fly to another city to get the answers he needs to questions he didn’t even ask.

When Easton’s world is turned upside down, can a reluctant Trystan be counted on to save the only thing that matters to her? Trust is earned, but his gruff attitude may be a dead-end before the process can even be started. They are forced together by circumstances neither could imagine, and need to travel the road less travel together, whether they want to or not. Their world’s crashed together and it’s up to them to clear the wreckage, for their sons’ futures. Too bad Trystan’s behavior is unpredictable, at best.

“Easton.” His voice is low, seductive. “Please, sit back down. I don’t bite.” I allow my eyes to find his, and what I see there is a contradiction to his words. He does bite, and I’d be a fool to let it slip my mind.

A truce is made and a new road to health is in the works, but their lives will never, ever, be the same again. And somehow that will be a good thing, I think. Until his past creates a roadblock they never anticipated.

I really enjoyed the start of the Sharp Turn Saga, and look forward to book 2, Sharp Right Turn, where the past becomes the present and Cameron’s future teeters in the hands of those desperate to save it, by any means necessary.

I am hooked on this series! We all live our lives never really knowing when we can be sidelined by something life-changing. This story is about how two people, who thought they had their lives safely planned out, handle the upheaval of terrifying revelations and drastic health problems. There are 2 young boys involved and I have to give special credit to the author because she writes children very well, which isn't easy! I was rooting for these families from the very beginning and fell in love with the main characters after seeing the kind of people they are and the choices that they make. While this story deals with some dramatic themes, there is humor, a new romance, and lighthearted family moments that keep the reader's hope alive that these families will get their happily ever after!

Mine, Not mine!!

A heartbreaking story that strikes fear in every parent’s heart. A sick child is bad enough, but to find your child is not yours will break anyone! The emotions are so real and strong that you feel their hearts breaking! Along with the realization that their child is fighting for his life and you are not a match to save him! This is a wonderfully written book that makes you suffer along with them, and feel guilty for thanking God your child is healthy!

COMPLICATED

5-star's, because it's so well-written. Easton and Trystan, are a dynamic duo. Well-adjusted, caring, considerate adults. Cameron and Blake instantly bonded. The chemistry is combustible, hotness personified. I HIGHLY -RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK!
