Synopsis

"I think... I think I was so in love with the idea of saving myself that I didn't realize I was letting myself drown. " "And now?" "And now you're my lifeboat." It was only meant to be a favour. Only meant to be for a few weeks. Yet when Stryker Odello finds himself a Daddy for a scarred little boy, he finds the darkness that swamped his life cracking and splits of light shining through. High functioning alcoholic at best, meeting the needs of the little proved more challenging than he first anticipated. Broken and distrustful, getting through to Jamie Sinclair was a hard feat. Both damaged from the past, hurt and cautious, could they learn to let go and figure out how to love again? Or was life's only joy to direct a tragedy?

His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

After a delirious first night together, Shi Guang found herself waking up to a cruel reality… a breakup initiated by him, ending their relationship! What? Why? How? These were the questions that bugged Shi Guang’s mind in the two years after he left without a trace. Just as she thought that she had finally managed to get over him, Lu Yanchen suddenly appeared before her and before she knew it, she had to get married to this man who had dumped her two years ago?! What? Why? How? These were the questions that Shi Guang were faced with after his mysterious appearance once more. Just what are Young Master Lu’s motives? Why is he always watching out for her even though he was the one that had dumped her? And worst still… What’s with that tsundere attitude of his…?! Translator’s Review: This is a really sweet novel about a couple that just annoys one another in the cutest ways. Lu Yanchen is a descendant of a powerful aristocratic military family. Cold, aloof, genius and sharp, this is a man that has it all – status, smarts and looks. But none of that matters when it comes to affairs involving his silly woman as everything melts away into an encompassing warmth. Purple-Red Beauty is someone that spends a lot of time building the settings of her novels. Earlier on, I too was rather annoyed at some of the things that Lu Yanchen did. But once the story gets on track… everything suddenly seemed even sweeter than before! If any of you have heard of the Japanese manga Itazura na Kiss or have caught any of the many Japanese (Mischievous Kiss), Chinese (It Started With A Kiss) and Korean (Playful Kiss) drama reboots made for it, you will definitely love it! :P

One character is the young girl who discovers a hidden power within herself in Ellison's story. She has to come to terms with this new - found power while also dealing with the people around her who either fear or want to use her. Then there's the old man who has seen the end of the world and is trying to make sense of it all. His wisdom and his experiences make him a very memorable character.
