One Night to Risk It All (Holt Sisters 2/2)
I don't usually give BBV (Bed Before Vows) stories 4 stars, but for all the over-the-top wretched backstories of being unloved children harboring the scars of neglect, abuse or both, there was a strong message here. That message being that forgiveness, at its heart, isn't always something you do for the other person, it may very well be something you do for yourself! It's said that harboring hatred and unforgivness is like you drinking rat poison and expecting the rat to die. The fact is, when you let go of your hatred and forgive, whether the the other person/people deserves it or not, whether they accept it or not, you have released YOURSELF to experience happiness with them, or even in SPITE of them. I really find that a powerful and REAL message that can be learned from this fictional BBV story.
