About this ebook

Will Madden is healing.

Thanks to therapy and a growing support system, he's taking baby steps into a promising future. One of those steps leads him to an online chat room, where he quickly bonds with fellow PTSD sufferer Taz Zachary.

Despite their virtual connection, Taz is initially freaked out at the idea of meeting Will face-to-face. A sexual relationship may be the last thing on his mind, but his craving for human interaction—and more of the way Will makes him laugh—gives him the courage he needs to take the next step.

In person, the chemistry between them is undeniable. But Will is hurt when Taz doesn't seem to be in any rush to get him into bed. Still, acceptance, love and happiness all seem within reach for the first time in forever—until demons from the past threaten the future they both finally believe they deserve.

Book three of the All Saints series.

Another book that ripped my heart out. As I Am is the third book in the All Saints series but it stands alone just fine. I've read all of the All Saints books and they are wonderful and I highly recommend them. Will Madden has suffered more trauma, physical and emotional, than I could ever imagine. I know bad things happen in this world but what happened to him is just unbelievable to me. I don't want say any more about it – I don't do spoilers – you need to read the book. Thomas (Taz) Zachary also suffered physically and emotionally when he was attacked because he came out as bi to his friends. He's pretty much a hermit and unwilling to leave his house. Both Will and Taz suffer from PTSD and their understanding of each other's problems almost instantly creates a strong bond between the two. This was such a hard book to read in some ways but it was also inspiring to read how these two young people work hard to confront their personal demons. This story contains a mystery and suspense along with a twist that I didn't see coming. Characters from Ms. Arthur's previous Carina Press series – Belonging and Restoration – make appearances in As I Am. Readers of those series will be sure to enjoy seeing more of them in this book. I haven't read them yet but they are in my TBR pile. Readers should be aware that this book discusses acts of sexual and physical abuse. A review copy was provided by the publisher via NetGalley but this did not influence my opinion or rating of the book.

About the author

A.M. Arthur was born and raised in the same kind of small town she likes to write about, a stone's throw from both the ocean and generational farmland. She's been writing stories in her head since she was a child and scribbling them down nearly as long. When not exorcising the voices in her head, A.M. can be found in the kitchen experimenting with food and trying not to poison herself or others.
