Through Fire (Portland ME #3) by Freya Barker

Violence corroded her…
Obedience defiled her…
Fear kept her chained…
Freedom is hard to embrace when she’s never learned to trust. Yet in the span of a second, she grabs a single opportunity and runs toward it. Straight into the sanctuary of a pub at the end of a wharf. 
She doesn’t understand the concept of friendship. She’s never felt the connection of a relationship. She’s as innocent as the driven snow and yet tainted with corruption. Still, she finds herself surrounded by people who accept her, without even knowing the first thing about her. But one of them is determined to dig deeper. 
He treasures his friends, yet he’s steered clear of committed relationships. He likes his life comfortably predictable and entirely controlled. Until it isn’t. For months he’s avoided interacting with The Skipper’s newest addition. Perhaps realizing that once he looked deeply into those liquid brown eyes, he wouldn’t be able to turn away. 
When his present and her past puts them both on the brink of change, they are forged through fire as one. Available June 19th 2016Pre-order available now  Amazon Nook:

Some reviews...By Alison Loris on June 15, 2015Format: Paperback Verified PurchaseI loved this story of a young woman who thinks her love life is over because she's not one of "those size two models with skinny bodies, pouty lips and perfect skin." But even a rock star sometimes wants more than an empty head in a perfect body. Sometimes he wants a woman who's real.

By L. RIEKE on June 26, 2015Format: Kindle Edition Verified PurchaseI really liked this story and highly recommend it. I started out not liking Jaxon all that well, but he grew on me and in the end I thought his character was well thought out. Nicci also is a terrific character and I felt for what she goes through in the story. When the tense conflict happened I was pissed and cried along with her. As I previously said, I highly recommend this story.

By Krystal Stubbs on December 16, 2015Format: Kindle EditionThis book was wonderful! It is written wonderfully. the way Nicci thinks is the way a lot of women, including me, think of themselves. It shows true feelings, thoughts and actions of people in relationships, not some made up fairytale romance story.
Nicci Lace is the main character. She is in a dead end job that she does not like, has no real friends to hang out with and is older (not young twenties). She believes that she is not worth much, but others can see that she is. Until one day she meets Jaxon, and he turns her world upside down.
