My Readultery Life Review
This book was amazing. I was hooked from the very first page,
in fact I was hooked from the blurb before I even started reading this journey.
A.K Evans has written a beautiful novel about a subject matter that leaves destruction
in its wake and the journey that one faces rebuilding their life.
Lexi Townsend was an easy going, bubbly, people person.
Never in her wildest dreams did she expect the guy that she was seeing to
subject her to a vicious assault, the kind of assault that can change a person
forever.
The once bubbly Lexi has been replaced with a Lexi who
carries the guilt and shame around for many years. Not wanting to weigh her
family down with the burden on her rape, Lexi carries on as best as she can and
tries to live her life. But somethings aren’t that easy to forget.
Even years after the rape, Lexi still has reservations about
meeting or touching people that she doesn’t know. While her professional life
is booming, Lexi knows that this isn’t the life she is meant to be living she
seeks help and allows her family and friends into her heart. Along the way she
meets Cruz, the only man, apart from her brothers, that makes her feel safe.
But can she trust her heart again? Will Cruz be the man that allows Lexi to
open herself to the possibilities?
Cruz Cunningham has liked Lexi for a long time, his first attempt
asking Lexi on a date was shot down in flames. But Cruz us patient and wiling
to do anything to gain Lexi’s trust, even if that means only as a friend. By
giving over his control to Lexi and allowing her to dictate the speed off their
growing friendship and relationship, Cruz gives Lexi a gift. A gift that helps
Lexi find herself.
While ‘Overcome’ tackles a subject that is often difficult
to deal or read about, the author has created a read that focus on the rebuilding
off one’s life. The story addresses the victims shame, guilt, pain and evolution
beautifully. I was expecting to be left feeling stripped and empty due to the
nature off this story, but I was left feeling strong and hopeful, knowing that
even in the darkest of days we have the strength to move on and make things
better if we choose to do so. It’s a story about fighting back and not being a
victim but becoming a survivor.
This book took my breathe away with the care and thought that
A.K Evans has taken to build the plot and the characters that we read and fall
in love with. I adored Lexi for her strength and courage, her evolution in the
story was beautiful to read and witness her taking a chance on love made my
heart sing. Cruz stole the show, his care and patience stole my heart, he is what
a man in love is meant to represent.

About the Author:
A.K. Evans is a married mother of two boys residing in a small town in northeastern Pennsylvania. After graduating from Lafayette College in 2004 with two degrees (one in English and one in Economics & Business), she pursued a career in the insurance and financial services industry. Not long after, Evans realized the career was not for her. She went on to manage her husband’s performance automotive business and drive the shop race cars for the next thirteen years. While the business afforded her freedoms she wouldn’t necessarily have had in a typical 9-5 job, after eleven years she was no longer receiving personal fulfillment from her chosen career path. Following many discussions, lots of thought, and tons of encouragement, Andrea decided to pursue her dream of becoming a writer.
Between her day job, writing, and homeschooling her two boys, Evans is left with very little free time. When she finds scraps of spare time, she enjoys reading, doing yoga, watching NY Rangers hockey, dancing, and vacationing with her family. Andrea, her husband, and her children are currently working on taking road trips to visit all 50 states (though, Alaska and Hawaii might require flights).
