Very unique story of freedom, love and second chances. Great debut novel by Leigh Ribbons and I look forward to see if we will hear more about the characters within the pages of Darkness Before Dawn!! The emotions that I felt while reading this book floored me. I felt Matts pain but I will NEVER know the extremes that he went through!! Matt and Dawn have more obstacles than they could ever have imagined before finding their back to one another and what a ride it is!!!! ~Tami Czenkus ~ 5-star review

Darkness Before Dawn is exactly what its name means. Horrible fear ... Pain ... Loss. All the things in life that rip us apart and tear us down. But there is always, like many times in human life, a silver lining. The rise of the sun to chase away the darkness. The gutting emotional turmoil, both separately and together, this couple faces was so real I was peering into the window of my life, my friend's, the neighbor down the street. ~LeTeisha Newton, International Bestselling Author ~ 5-star review

From the very first page this book sets itself up to be an epic romance of unrequited love, second chances, and rising above adversity. Readers are literally dropped into the middle of a firefight that leaves them breathless and on edge and from there they get put through the emotional wringer right alongside these memorable characters. In a tale that spans years there are numerous highs and lows, moments of intense realism along with bits of melodrama, that all add up to a journey that leaves you exhausted yet satisfied by The End. ~J.
