    I loved this book it threw all the emotions at you in one read.

    The whole story had me hooked and I was enthralled by it all and to say I loved both characters was understatement.

    Dane is at a place in his life when he meets Eden, where he's unsure of what he's doing is the right thing. He's torn between doing the right thing for all parties involved. As Dane has always been selfless in life, until meeting Eden changes him, he has to decide whether to continue being selfless or selfish.

    I loved Dane, but my god did Eden steal the limelight, she was the epitome of understanding and just a kind genuine person.

    The whole story and characters gave me the feelings that I love when reading a story so emotionally as this and I couldn't wait to see how it all ended.

    I just loved this from start to finish. Dane was sexy and attractive and had some hard choices to make and whilst he frustrated me at times, it all came together for me in the end.

    Received a copy from the author.
    My first Leddy Harper book, and not my last. Loved the characters, Dane, well, he was a little frustrating but, totally won me over. I usually avoid stories with a certain thing going on - no spoilers from me,- as it's a saw spot for me, but, having said that it was easy to get over.

    So thank you Leddy. I look forward to reading more of your books x

    Title: Dane
    Author: Leddy Harper
    Genre: Contemporary Romance
    Rating: 4/5

    WOW this book packs a punch it's angsty and emotional, it touches on sensitive subjects such as mental illness, a love triangle and cheating.

    I was pushed out my comfort zone with this book which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I avoid books that contain aspects of cheating yes I understand it goes on but it's a bit too close to home for me hence the reason I tend to avoid them which brings me round to the fact that there's no mention of cheating in the blurb it would've been nice as a reader to have been warned in advance.

    Nothing about this book was straightforward given the topics it contained but Ms Harper did an outstanding job of putting them into words with her exemplary writing skills.

    I’ve read this book straight through without a break. I wasn’t sure what I’d be reading after the author note and then started what I assumed would be a story about an affair. But it wasn’t. It was so many other things, and I don’t want to give spoilers, but it really had me gripped. Some hard topics but they were beautifully, sensitively and realistically written and I loved the male Pov.
    It’s 3am so time for sleep. I hope Leddy has another KU title for me tomorrow x

    I've read a few of this authors books now and I went into this fully expecting to be hit with an emotional punch to the gut and Leddy Harper once again delivered.
    I loved this book. I loved the whole story line and the complex, real characters. Both Eden and Dane wormed their way into my heart.

    Dane is so very easy to love. A man torn between the one person that brings a little bit of light into his darkness and doing what he perceives as the right thing, he's conflicted and confused. He has a very strong caring, protective nature and he's a genuinely nice guy that I adored.

    Eden, I think I fell for her more than Dane. She is the sweetest, most caring person and she won me over straight away. She has a maturity to her that made a refreshing change to see.

    This story gave me all the feels. I spent most of this book unsure how I wanted it to end because it'd sucked me in and made me care about all of the characters.

    Dane by Leddy Harper
    5 stars!!!

    “There’s a reason for everything.”

    I have read quite a few books by Leddy Harper and in all honesty, they have been hit or miss, ranging from 2 stars to 4 stars. It was this synopsis though that drew me to this book, short and to the point, not a lot given away but enough to get my mind whirring about what could potentially be inside. Nothing could have prepared me for what Leddy Harper delivered though, I cannot say enough how much I loved this book. From the minute I started reading, the world ceased to exist, I was captivated and I was turning those pages like a loon. As soon as I had finished I knew that I had read an amazing book, I knew that it would be on my top favourites list of 2017 and I knew that I had to tell my book friends to READ THIS BOOK!

    I love an author who is brave, one that isn’t scared to tell an honest story, one that delivers true life on a platter in all its warts and all glory. Yes, we read to escape reality, but sometimes it is the relatable stories that leave the bigger impact and boy did this book leave its mark. Leddy Harper held my heart hostage throughout this book, she wrung every single emotion out of it, every single heart string was severed and then delicately sewn back together. I love a book that makes me feel, I love a book that I can get lost in…live and breathe the story and this journey was one I took willingly and completely.

    “I had no idea the demons never left, because I never knew they existed.”

    Life is never what it seems, we see the outside, the façade that people are willing to show, we think that some people have it all, but have you really wondered what happens to them behind closed doors? Male pride is an indomitable feeling, but loneliness, abandonment, rejection, isolation and just that need for human touch and comfort are far more powerful but add to that the overwhelming need to protect and you have a man on a precipice. Dane was on that precipice.

    “Sometimes we do things without personal gain…We stick things out and stay places for other people. It’s not always about ourselves. It’s not always about what we get in return. I can’t think about myself all the time…I can’t expect her to take care of me when she can’t even take care of herself.”

    I cannot and will not say anything about the plot because this is a book that you need to go into blind, I beg you not to read spoiler reviews because you need to experience this as the author intended. There is no cheating, I will say that much as I know that is a trigger for some but their connection as friends could blur on the side of risqué. This though was a book for the emotional reader, one that thrives on character connection, one that loves the cathartic release of tears but thrives on the smiles that follow. This book ticked all my boxes.

    “You came in and swept me up like a hurricane. I wasn’t prepared for it, and now I’m scared of the destruction that’ll be left behind when you’re gone.”

    Even though this is Dane’s book I want to talk about Eden first. It is very rare I really admire a heroine but Eden spoke to me in so many ways. Eden was an old head on young shoulders and while for the romance readers in us some may get frustrated with her hesitation and reluctance I admired her for it. Eden had morals, her self-preservation instincts were high and she stood her ground when it would have been so easy to jump. Eden was the voice of reason in this book, the angel on the shoulder giving the sage advice when the devil on the other was desperately shouting, wanting to be heard. Eden was the voice of caution and I loved her for it.

    “That’s the problem. I’ve become your emotional crutch. You’re not happy at home, your relationship is weighing on you, and instead of concentrating on that, you come to me for the highs to balance out your lows. I’ve become your vacation.”

    Dane was the epitome of perfect, my heart and soul hurt for him, and the situation he finds himself in was untenable. I felt his desperation, I felt his feelings of helplessness…I just felt everything. Dane was selfless, benevolent, kind and magnanimous, he was extremely loyal, protective and understanding. When he loves, he loves hard and all in, no middle ground. This was a man that captured my heart and once you understand the truth that Leddy Harper so frustratingly seeps out like water from the tiniest of cracks, your heart only aches the more. Dane was incredibly easy to love.

    “I just effing wanted to be happy again.”

    Dane and Eden meeting was kismet, everything happens for a reason and these two met when both needed the other the most. I loved the build from strangers to friends to confidantes to eventual lovers and more. I loved that it wasn’t rushed and while these two are not together for the majority of the story the connection, the attraction, the chemistry is ever present on every single page. The constant struggle between right and wrong was always there and the desperation that these two felt was constantly eating away at me. This is a book that will make you question yourself, do not make a blanket judgement in the beginning…keep reading.

    “I didn’t want to stop living.”

    I admire Leddy Harper for the way in which she delivered this book, she took a tough subject and delivered it with honesty and compassion, she turned this subject on its head and made you see how others are affected, especially those closest to you. The characters are not perfect, but it is their imperfections that matter the most. This was a book about sacrifice, the pro’s and con’s, guilt and its many manifestations but most of all this was a book about right and wrong, recognising that love happens when you least expect it and sometimes, even when you think you have met your soul mate, you haven’t and it takes meeting your destined to recognise it. Totally and utterly adored this book and while I would have loved a little more of them together, I was satiated with what I got. Amazing book.

    I am a huge Leddy Harper fan. She has a writing style I love. Words flow easy and her characters are always intriguing. This book is chock full of emotional turmoil and brought about all the feels. It was highly engaging, and I did not want to put it down. This book revolves around the lives of three people and their place in each other's lives. It had an element of surprise as it was unclear throughout the book what any of the main 3 characters were going to do at any point in time.

    I couldn't help but empathize with Dane from the start. He was in a no-win situation and sacrificed his own dreams for the well-being of someone else. Her life was more important than his, at the detriment to lots of things. Gabi was a troubled soul who couldn't find her way out of the demons that have plagued her life for a long time. Eden was the trickiest character for me. I genuinely liked her character from the beginning, but struggled with how she pushed Dane to open up and then almost used all the information and things he shared with her against him. It seemed clear who belonged together in this book and this book has a HEA (YAY), but I struggled with how Eden acted along the way in regards to Dane. Though her feelings and reactions are honest and mostly justified, I struggled with how she went about things at times.

    One of the things I fully support in this book is the notion that everything (including devastating tragedies and traumatic events) happens for a reason, and sometimes with that can come beautiful changes or the most blessed gifts. If there is an ultimate message to take from this book, that would be it...at least for me. I can't wait to read what Leddy Harper comes up with next. Her books are an automatic one-click for me!!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A very differnt journey of self-discovery
    Reviewed in the United States on 28 May 2017
    I don't know where to even start with my feelings about this book!! I was annoyed by it, I hated Dane, but I kept reading because the other book that I read by Leddy Harper did not fail me.....Leddy Harper did NOT fail me at all in this book either!!

    Dane is the male character and voice of this book. For starters this is my first book that has an all-male voice and I enjoyed the rollercoaster ride of emotions that came with this all male voice. Dane is a successful, giving, and honest. His issues and troubles are realistic. The struggle of his journey was heartfelt and difficult at times. It took longer to read this book because of the ups and downs of my emotions toward Dane and his actions. Overall, this book is beautifully written. Filled with struggle, heart, heartbreak, and a journey that really makes you think about life.

    Possible trigger warning: sexual assault, cheating, and lying. I do not tell you this lightly or as a way to dissuade you from reading this amazing book. I give this warning because I understand that people can have sensitivities to topics. Leddy Harper handles these topics with grace, sensitivity, and heart; she tackles them but does not romanticize these issues.

    Reviewed in the United States on 1 April 2020
    Honestly I felt every single emotion from Dane and knew he was the type of guy that put others needs before his own. I was heartbroken for him because he was stuck and not necessarily in a loveless relationship but when your partner struggles you do as well. And he TRIED so hard to help Gabi, to be there for her that he lost a bit of himself along the way.
    And then there's Gabi who's battling demons from her past as well as guilt, so much guilt and my heart just broke for her. Of course she needed Dane, he was her safe place even though that need was unhealthy for both of them. You would have to have lived something similar in order to understand, and you know walk a mile in someone's shoes.
    I didn't love this story, it's full of truths and life situations that are RAW and REAL but I did understand this story and each of the characters. At one point Eden mentions emotional cheating being worse than physical cheating and I totally agree because you've formed a connection on a different level from just basic physical attraction.
