Shantel Patt is 27% done with Fearless: I’m only a few chapters into Fearless and my heart is already in pieces. How would you feel if you had to stand there and watch the woman you love get engaged to another man? Lauren Roberts wastes no time pulling us back into this world. The tension is unbearable and the emotions are raw. I am not ready for what's coming next. Fearless (The Powerless Trilogy, #3) by Lauren Roberts (Goodreads Author) progress:	Error rating book.
