Summary

After losing her husband in a tragic accident, Julia Gentry is barely surviving. Raising her young daughter alone takes everything she has—and that’s not enough. She’s barely making ends meet.

And then tragedy strikes again.

Julia’s only hope lies in the last place she wants to look—in Crew Gentry. Her husband’s brother is broody. Irresponsible. He’s broken her heart more than once and let her down every time she’s needed him.

Until now.

Crew steps up, spotting an opportunity to atone for his sins. He’s determined to fix the disaster wrecking their lives. But the only way to make things right might require him to put more than his heart on the line.

He might have to sacrifice it all.

Emotional and Heartfelt

Sacrifice is an emotional tale that gave me so much feels and I could not put down. Yes it was sad and heart-wrenching at times but it as also beautifully written, hopeful and was a story of love, loss, strength, sacrifice, hope and family. Its about how far one will go to atone for their sins and save their family. This story was not what I was expecting and there were some unexpected twists that all kept me at the edge of my seat. I fell in love with Crew right from the start and I absolutely adored the way he took care of Julia and Everleigh. Julia's strength shone through in more ways than one and I loved Everleigh's character.
There was a great cast of secondary characters who provided much support to the MC's and I loved that we got to know Gage through flashbacks from Julia and Crew's POV. This was a fantastic read and I would highly recommend it.

I listened to the Audible version of this novel which was narrated by Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell. They were both fantastic choices for these characters. They gave each character their on voice and emotion and really brought this heartfelt story to life. I loved listening to them narrate this novel.

WOW emotional read

The story of the book is just so well written, Adriana you ripped my heart out but also put it back together.
Julie is a single mom struggling to look after her little girl Ever after her husband died in an accident. Crew is guilt ridden brother trying to look after both Julie and Ever after the death of his brother. Both these voice actors do an amazing job in telling the story.

Emotional

This is such a brutally emotional story, it will tear your heart out and rip it to shreds. It will break you heart and slowly stitch all the pieces together differently.

I cried so much!!!

This book has so much emotion, I’ve sobbed like a baby pretty much all the way through. Written with so much feeling and compassion it’s a masterpiece. I absolutely love Maxine’s child voice, it’s so cute.

I think my eyes are leaking y’all!

Y’all I’m gonna have to log out and come back next year because I’m legit in tears and soo emotional right now, I just cannot function anymore! (Just kidding, I have more books on my tbr that needs to get read!). But seriously, this book! This book had me in tears!!! I literally cried like a baby reading this!

Crew my baby!!! I just cannot handle Crew’s sweetness and his sacrifice for his family. I also cannot the ending of this book! This book is appropriately named! Sacrifice indeed!

Now I know I’m not making any sense soo let’s back up and start from the beginning…

So, this book is about our mains Julia and Crew. Julia was previously married to Crew’s brother but is now widowed (but Crew and Julia actually have a lot more history than that). Julia is now a single mother to 5 yr old Everleigh, struggling with her day to day, bills, etc. She refuses help from Crew because she still blames him for a lot of stuff from their past. However, when tragedy strikes, she has nowhere else to turn to. Crew on the other hand, even with Julia’s constant rejection of his help with her finances and support, never turns his back on his niece and of Julia. So, when said tragedy strikes, it’s only natural for him to step up for his family.

At its core, this book is about fighting and sacrificing for the ones you love and doing everything in your power to make sure they are okay. This is a second chance romance where I could see where it all went wrong in the past, but also why they deserve to be together again!

They were both fighters in different ways. I loved seeing them slowly open up to each other. Especially seeing Julia open up her heart and forgive Crew for the past and realise he is not the same man from when they first met. I also loved seeing their little family! I honestly feel like I will be thinking about this book for a long time!

I listened to the audio version of this book. Narrated by Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell, both were great as Crew and Julia respectively. They brought the characters to life (and I’m sure contributed in me bawling my eyes out like a baby!) I highly recommend the audio of this book!

fight

Loved the dual narration of Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell, perfect for this great book.

This book is one roller coaster of emotions, guilt, loss, forgiveness, love.


Julia's life was not easy horrible parents. Let downs after let downs, until she finds happiness with Gage. But Gage is cruelly taken from her. Julia finds her self once more struggles, being a single parent. No matter what life throws at her she finds strength and determination.

Crew has always loved Julia but chasing his dream he lost her. He is a man full o guilt over the death of his brother, Gage. The brother who married Julia and the father of his niece Everleigh . Now he is in a fight he cannot loose . He knows this is the fight of his life and those now dependent on him winning.

Brilliant characters.

amazing duet audiobook

What a fantastic duet performance by Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell - 6 star performance.

What an emotional second-chance, slow burn romance. But it was so much more than romance. An intense ride. A down on her luck single mother. Cute 5 year old daughter. It wasn't a tearjerker for me, but many will claim it to be.

true love

He is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. He is the reason they lost everything and he is going to do the only thing he is worth it for them, Julia the only woman he has ever loved and her daugther and his niece Everly. They are worth the sacrifice and he will risk everything, even himself if it means he can save them. A great story, even better as audiobook. Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell do an incredible job with all the tough feelings and deep emotions the characters go through all the story. Just wow, you have to listen it, a heartbreaking love story masterfully narrated.

Extremely emotional sport romance

This is Crew and Julia's story, a very emotional sports romance, where you will get more than you think. The characters are amazing, and the story is very emotional. Crew was not in a good place when he was with Julia, things happened and years later he find himself in a place he can help Julia. Julia is faced with a very difficult and emotional situation. They both have to overcome their past in order to find their future and fight for what really matters. The audiobook was narrated by Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell, they both did a terrific job portraying their characters, their emotions were palpable and their pacing made the audio entertaining and hooking the listener from the start. I strongly suggest you consider and experience the audio version f the story, it definitely adds more to it.
