A NIGHT OWL REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW | Reviewed by: Silvermage
Standing On the Edge of Goodbye was a realistic emotional heartwarming story. I enjoyed Kate who went to Silver Mountain where her Grandmother lived. Kate was sweet and kind, but also a tough woman. She had to deal with her awful ex-husband. She is one of those people who does their job and doesn't complain. Our hero is Matt. He was a tough yet kind soul. I very much enjoyed reading about these two. Matt's tenderness toward Kate was just beautiful. I enjoyed that these two met as friends and then fell in love with time. This made the story very realistic for me.
Matt was brave because he had to deal with the death of his ex-wife and child, but he did not let that get him down. It was good to see Kate be true to her faith and she helped Matt remember how to have faith again also. I enjoyed how they comforted each other. And the romantic moments were sweet and tender. Matt also was good at helping Kate while she was pregnant to. What a wonderful story for any romance lover

Book Blurb for Standing On The Edge Of Goodbye
Pages: 123
Matt Stevens is finished with life. Grieving the death of his son, Matt withdraws from humanity, sequestering himself in a mountain cabin far from the reaches of anything human, anything that may remind him of the life he can no longer have. That is, until Kate Alexander arrives on his doorstep and begins to strip away the bitterness he carries in his heart.
Running from an abusive ex-husband who tried to murder her, Kate Alexander's life is turned upside-down. Learning of her grandmother's death, — the only woman who ever believed in her, — is almost Kate's complete undoing, especially when the devastating news comes from a man so lacking in human emotion he may as well be a robot. Yet, Kate is drawn to Matt Stevens in a way she's never before experienced. Could there be more to this unlikely friend of her grandmother's, —something beyond the cold surface he presents to the world?
