Synopsis:
Have you ever looked at someone and just knew,
knew that they were placed in your life for a reason?
The one person that would be not only your best friend,
but your absolute everything.
That’s how I felt the first time I saw him.
That one day when a few little words changed our entire lives forever…
Don’t be Afraid, he said.
Life can change so quickly.
One moment you can be smiling and feeling as if you're walking on clouds and the next, everything you love, everything you treasure crumbles at your feet.
I told him to fight, I told him I needed him.
We needed him.
But there are just some fights that can't be won…
He was my angel then, and he’s still my angel now.
In a way, I believe he’s still looking out for us, giving us a future.
Sometimes it’s as if I can still feel his presence,
guiding us and keeping us safe.
So, I won’t be Afraid.
I'll live. I’ll fight.
It’s what he would have wanted.
I’ll do it for him…

Excerpt:
I buried my body beneath the covers and curled around his warmth. With my head rested just where he’d wanted it, I closed my eyes tight and willed the tears away. Doing my best to hide the emptiness consuming me, I concentrated on breathing evenly.
“Always loved you right like this,” he confessed. “Your body so close to mine it feels like we’re the same person.” I took deep breaths as I thought of all the reasons life was so damn unfair.
“Loved burying my face in your hair, just breathing you in.”
Those were the words most girls dreamed of hearing, and they made our love feel more solid and concrete. But hearing them now was like a slow form of torture, because they were tearing the small amount of control I had left in me to pieces.
“You were made just for me, Sawyer Cooper,” he whispered sleepily. “I truly believe that.”
I squeeze my eyes shut tighter as I curled into him closer.
“Forever my girl.”
Tears rolled along my cheeks as I did all I could to wipe them away before he noticed. I was thankful sleep had taken him over and he was oblivious to the shattering of my soul.

Review:
Don't Be Afraid by C.A. Harms is the first book I read by this author. I have to admit that the cover totally stole my breath away from the moment I saw it. I don't want to go into details about what happens in this book. Every reader needs to experience this phenomenal story. The characters will captivate you from the very beginning and they will not let you go! Trust your bookworm radar and give this book a chance if you want to read an unforgettable second chance at love story.
C.A. Harms writing style is exquisite and her characters felt so real. Not only did I read the story, I felt every single word of it! Tissues and a good quantity of chocolate was very much needed during this journey. This story broke my heart into a million pieces. The author did a phenomenal job with it. She took every piece of my broken heart and made it smile again by writing precious moments that were like a soothing balm to my heart.
This book will deliver all the feels. It will make you smile when happy moments happen and then you will have a river of tears rolling on your cheeks because of what each of these characters are going through. Each moment of this story will own you heart and soul. Don't Be Afraid was an amazing reading journey that will linger with me for a long time. I highly recommend it if you're looking for your next unputdownable reading escape.

I give, Don't Be Afraid, by C.A. Harms, 4.5 beautiful, emotional, poignant, superb stars!
