It didn\u2019t shy away from the reactions of others, while some were supportive, others were far from it and there were repercussions that they had to deal with. But throughout it all their genuine love for each other remained true.<\/p><p>You learn so much about Phoebe as she shares her life experiences as she becomes an adult, from exploring her inner erotic desires and intimate relationships, taking risks that were suspenseful and at time dangerous and learning to cope after trauma and loss.<br \/>You see her mature and grow to become an amazing self-confident and loving person.<\/p><p>From the beginning to the end, so much happened and I could have never imagined the direction the story would take. I loved the way this author pulled all the drama, romance and at times pain and suspense together to tell a beautiful and exciting story with a perfect HEA.&#8221;<\/p><p>\u2014<a style=\"font-size: 16px; background-color: rgba(224, 26, 79, 0);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/customer-reviews\/R2CXTHFK8HNGHS\/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B07Z7FYN1Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon US Customer<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-4504\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-4504\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Crystal's Crucible: Forbidden romances, slow burn chemistry and suspenseful twists<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-4504\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-4504\"><p><em>Five Stars<\/em><\/p><p>&#8220;Forbidden romances, slow burn chemistry and suspenseful twists and turns I never saw coming.<br \/>I was totally hooked from the first page and loved seeing how each character grew from the choices they made to find their happiness.
