GENRE: Contemporary Romance
RELEASE DATE: November 11th 2020
To the outside world, my life is perfect.
I’m young and rich, and some may even say I’m beautiful. But I would give anything to be somebody else because after being extraordinary all my life, all I wish for is…silence.
My name is Lola Van Allen, and there’s no easy way to say it, but…I’m dying.
When my doctors reveal all hope is lost, I decide to spend the time I have left sharing my experience at Strawberry Fields, a summer camp for terminally ill children. No matter my fate, I yearn to make a difference.
Things are quiet and slow-moving until I meet him.
Dr. Roman Archibald.
From the moment our lives entwine, he pushes me until breaking point. But for someone who has nothing left to lose, I push back twice as hard. Roman challenges me in ways I never imagined, revealing things aren’t always what they seem.
This is my story…and how I got a second chance at life.

⭐️ 5+ "Lead With Your Heart" Stars ⭐️
I literally just finished my read of Beyond the Roses and... I'm not okay! My heart is hurting so badly, but at the same time I'm filled with happy feelings. I'm a complete mess of contradicting feelings! Monica James without a doubt in my mind signed with this novel her best contemporary romance to date!
I feel like this review should be short and sweet, because there's not a lot I want to unveil about the plot. Just from the blurb, it's clear what you're in for with this novel. I was expecting to get my heart shattered by Lola's tragic situation, but was also agreably suprised by the hope shining through the pages of this story. Her romance with Dr. Roman Archibald is truly magnificent! In their moments of despondency, they find solace and bliss into each other. I'm speechless from their gorgeous relationship that got to me deeply with their unfortunate ending getting closer.
Beyond the Roses drained me completely! After this read, my throat is so raw and my eyes burn from all the crying! This book is assuredly a top read for me in 2020! All the stars to this epic journey!
