I. Love. This. Story! With every book I fall more and more in love with this crew! The men are sexy and strong, yet sweet and vulnerable and totally devoted to their women. The women are soft yet totally bad-ass, each able to hold their own, but at the same time, lost without their men. Perfect matches, each couple, and Brantley and Clara are no exception.

Brantley Morgan first laid eyes on her months ago. Instantly he knew. She was his. Now he and his daughter Bella are moving to town, and while he's tried to keep his feelings for her at arms length, the chances of them staying that way now that she's withing reach is next to impossible. Though his heart has been burned before, he knows it belongs to Clara, scars and all. Now, he just has to be patient until she realizes it too. But, will a threat from his past destroy them in the end?

Clara O'Bannon has survived hell. Although 3 years have passed, he still has a hold over her -even from the grave. She swore she'd never let a man in her life again, but with Brantley? All bets are off. She can't help herself from dismantling the wall she's constructed around herself and her sons, brick by brick. He's everything she could ever want, and the missing puzzle piece to her jigsawed life. But is it all too good to be true? Does she dare to dream that she could have it all, or will it all come crumbling down?

I love this crew so much. They are all so loving and loyal, and protective of each other. Brantley and Clara's story is heartbreaking, and one of recovery and progress and finally finding happiness. It's one of letting go of unfounded guilt and self-loathing, of accepting yourself and your scars and not letting the past define you, but letting it make you stronger.

There are triggers of domestic violence/abuse so if you are sensitive to that issue, just be aware.

Look, I am not a mushy person. I'm not overly fond of PDA's, and I rarely shed a tear. That being said.... I was total puddle of goo at the end of this one. Well done Ms. Parker. Well done. ...more

Before you read this book though, please know that there are trigger warnings. Lots of. Clara, the female MC, endured physical, emotional and psychological abuse. The male MC suffered from psychological abuse. So if you cannot read about a book with these elements thrown, do not read it. If you can, then I'll think you'd appreciate this book.

I’ve loved Clara and her transformation from victim to survivor since the first time I met her in this series. I knew that she would need a strong, loving man who has a few scars of his own to be worthy of her, and Brantley fills that role perfectly. They’ve both been torched by monstrous spouses in the past and have both endured abuse, physical AND psychological for Clara and psychological for Brantley, yet they find their way to the perfect HEA together.

All it takes is a special person that would give you the world if only you let them in.
Every Tear You Cry is the story of second chances, learning to trust again and finding your HEA with your one!
It’s a story of letting go of the demons and leaving the past in the rear view and never looking back .

But these horrific events shaped Clara into the strong and independent woman that she is. I did have to I cried, laughed, was angered, and disgusted--disgusted by the actions of the characters. Ok, two characters in particular. I do think that I would have had a better understanding of the characters had I read the previous four books--which are now in my Amazon list.
Some of the content was a bit difficult to read--the details from Clara's abusive marriage and the things her husband did to her. But these horrific events shaped Clara into the strong and independent woman that she is. I did have to walk away from the book a few times when some of those scenes were particularly graphic or when children are involved. It was gratifying to see how much Clara changed and became a stronger woman. In the end, she stood up for herself and the children. Something that not every abuse victim is able to do.

Clara is a woman trapped. For years she was trapped in an abusive marriage to Colin with her two little boys. She did everything to protect her angelic boys from their father. She made sure that she took all of Colin's anger. Finally, she was able to leave and live into a battered women's shelter. The shelter saved her life. Saved her boys.

Three years later, she has finally gotten herself together. She has a shabby apartment (an apartment that she is able to pay for herself), a job at the shelter, and friends. Too bad her creepy landlord keeps asking for his rent in forms other than money and most of her appliances are broken. Oh, and she barely has any food for their little family. Money is extremely tight lately since her hours were cut at the shelter. It takes everything to accept help from her best friend Hope and her fiance, Evan. Evan even threatens to call his twin brother if Clara doesn't accept his help. Evan's brother is everything Clara can't have. He's a successful lawyer with an adorable little girl, Bella. Brantley is too gorgeous for her. Too nice....too everything. He makes her stupid whenever he's around. Lucky for her that Brantley lives in Memphis. She lives in Georgia.

Brantley decided that he wanted to move closer to family especially his twin brother Evan. Evan's fiancee just gave birth to his nephew a few months ago. Brantley wants his daughter Bella to know her cousin and be around his brother's new family. What better way than to buy the house across the street from Evan and Hope. Brantley isn't sure what he's more excited about--seeing his family or being closer to Clara and her boys. He met Clara through Evan and their circle of friends. Every time Clara is more gorgeous. Even better, she treats his daughter like her own. Every interaction he has with her makes his heart melt. He will do what ever it takes to make her his.

Clara doesn't know what to think about Brantley opening a law firm and hiring her to manage it. Or the fact that she's Bella's part time nanny. Now, she can afford to move out of that dump. Away from Icky Dickie. But the couple have a few issues to resolve beginning with Brantley's crazy gold digging ex-wife. A woman who calls Bella names and neglects the sweet little girl. A little girl who only wants her mother to pay attention to her--act like a mother. Something that Clara has been doing from the moment she met Bella. Clara's boys already treat Bella like a little sister. But after Brantley refuses to give his ex more money things go down hill for the couple. His ex comes to town with the sole purpose of hurting Clara and getting more money.

Will his ex tear them apart? Or will Clara's nightmares and insecurities break their relationship? Can Brantley heal the broken pieces of Clara? Can he give her boys the security they need? ...more

This is my first hook by this author and I know this is a series and I likely should have read the others first. It was ok though I followed along perfectly. This is book four in the Redeeming Love series. Read with caution the first chapter alone has some major triggers. I found some of it hard to read. It made me want to toss the kindle. So may feel and emotions running around here. You will laugh and cry. Then you will cry again from laughing. These people draw you in and they will tug at your heartstrings and then make you feel like you want to jump into the book and hug them or kick their butts for hurting the ones they love the most. Even if they don’t see that love yet. I was drawn from the first word even if I had cringed a few times and wanted to cry and scream all the way until the end and I wanted more.

I don’t even know where to begin. The opening chapter tore at my heart and I thought I lost a piece of myself inside of it. It gutted me. Clara and her boys have been through hell and back. They all survived but at what cost? She made her escape but it cost her.

Clara and her boys Liam and Declan along with Brantley and his daughter Isabella or Bella have all been through the ringer with their ex’s. Be it mentally or physically both families are devastated by it. They have to learn to let go of the past so they can have their future bright full of love and happiness. I know it isn't that easy but reading it as it unfolded made my heart flutter.

Brantley’s ex-wife was a real piece of work. She makes Brantley believe that women are gold diggers and out for themselves and he doesn't want that heartache for himself or Isabella. Her attitude towards her daughter was appalling. Now his brother Evan is here and he is finally coming home. Now, his brother and fiance along with a gaggle of friends at their side to make the transition go well.

Brantley and Clara met previously but at the same time, she thinks Brantley is a womanizer and big flirt and can’t be trusted. Her ex taught her that. She is afraid of love because it cost her so much. Now as the five of them spend time together you can feel the love between the kids as well as their parents. Bella is seeking love and acceptance from a woman because her mother is crap. Liam and Declan are guarded as well because of their father.

Now onto some of the little people. Let me say Bella and Declan stole the show. I loved that little girl. She wants a woman that loves her as a mommy should. She has a such a big heart and can see the bigger picture to a point. I know she is only four but you know the saying out of the mouth of babes. Declan, when you think he isn’t paying attention he is. So is Liam. He is also like his mom and doesn’t trust. You need to earn it from him. Those boys...ugh! I loved them too. The rest of the people. They have such great friends and would do anything for one another. Not even just them but the men. They are fiercely protective. They are a family. Some by blood some not. Reading about Clara’s transition from the weak victim to a strong independent woman that will do anything for her boys was amazing. The growth of the kids was good too. So was the relationship between the three of them. This book isn't just a romance for the adults. It’s the growth of all five of them as individuals and as families. ...more

This is Clara’s story. If you read the other books than you know a little about her background; if you have not read the other books no worries her full story is revealed and boy oh boy I knew there would tears and sadness, but the strength Clara had for survival is amazing. I honestly don’t think I would have made it that far. Clara and her boys lived a nightmare and that is stating it nicely and to watch their story unfold and how far they have come is joyful to your heart after all the sadness. We have met Brantley (he is Evan’s twin) and he comes off as a flirt, but his story has its own nightmare. We saw a spark between the two in a prior book and we hoped for their story and when you see the spark and connection between not only Clara/Brantley, but the boys/Bella your heart just melts away with a smile.
In this story we have two broken families that are given a second chance at many things and while the bad outweighed the good for many years it shows you that in life with the bad come the good and that if you didn’t get the bad you may not get the good things that make your life brighter. It may take years, but this story just shows you that your life of cards falls into place when the time is right. While I know the author struggled a bit with this story, I just want to state that it was an amazing story that tugged at our hearts and each story you write just keeps getting better and better. I loved this series and I can only hope that as this clan grows that it leads to a spin-off of the kids. Not only are we waiting on Carissa & Heidi’ story, but little Miss Ashley has her own story brewing there right along with some of the littles.
The Crazy Chick Club and that includes Grandmama get more hilarious than before in each book. It just goes to show you that no matter how crazy you may be, there is a someone for you that includes family (even if you’re not blood) that will be there for you in the good/bad times. Expect tears of laughter and sadness so grab those tissues but in the end your heart is full of warmth. What’s funny is the boys are becoming outnumbered, so this crazy clan is only going to get bigger! Haha Love is truly redeemed when the time is right!

I was just past the first few pages when my tears started falling. Oh my goodness what a beautiful story this was.

Clara had to endure so much pain and suffering at the hands of her husband. She would do anything to protect her two little boys. She had no one, she was in foster care all of her young life. After the brutal attack from her husband she was taken in by Toluca Women's Shelter for battered women, and this is where her new life with her sons begin.

Clara and Brantley met in the previous books, so they started to get to know each other slowly over the past few months.

Brantley was a hunk of a guy and he's got the hots for Clara. He also has a little girl of his own. She is such a cute little girl. The things she says is so adorable. The whole gang (from the previous books) tries everything to bring Clara and Brantley closer. Grand mamma was the biggest instigator to get them together.

Grand mamma was her usual self full of jokes and kept the flyswatter handy at all times. The best part I liked with grand mamma was when she got a new phone and googled certain pictures (you can just guess which pictures). Oh boy you are in for a treat.

The love Brantley showed Clara and her two boys, you do not see or experience everyday. He's so possessive and protective over them. I liked when Clara called Brantley "Pretty Boy" and when he called her 'Bella Dama" which means beautiful lady.

With this book you will experience heartbreak, happiness and a lot of laughter, oh and don't forget drama from an ex. I really enjoyed this book, although it is a standalone I would recommend you to read the previous three (if you haven't already) to give you more inside info about the other characters.

Jaimee Parker is an absolute brilliant Author and I cannot wait for book 5 from this series.

My favorite part was when Brantley told Clara "Every tear you cry guts me. If I could go back and save you from that bastard before he had a chance to hurt you, I would."

I'm so in love with The makeshift family that Parker has created in her books.
