I read Heaven Enough, Book I (see my review HERE) some time ago and loved it, so I am very excited to share Ken La Salle’s new sequel, Heaven Denied.
What do you think of the awesome cover?
MY REVIEW
Matt has not lost one wife, but two, taken before their time. Heaven Denied is a look into his psyche to see how one person deals with grief, the desperation of loss and the need to know….
Ken La Salle has a way of digging deep into my mind, raising questions and making me wonder what I would do. How would I handle the loss of someone so important to me that I cannot let them go. He gets inside my head, scrambling all my perceptions to the point where I get Matt’s motivation, his need to do something.
Matt needs…I don’t think he knows what he needs and I love that his mother is by his side as he searches. And Eric? Is he just along for the ride?
Ken La Salle walks his own line, as do his characters, and that shines through in his writing. They muddle through life, like the rest of us, looking for love and happiness. I love that his books do more than entertain me, they make me think, to read between the lines, to look into myself and ask the hard questions.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Heaven Denied by Ken La Salle.
GOODREADS BLURB
What would it be like to have heaven enough?
For just a few, brief days on the Pacific Crest Trail, Matt Murphy knew. He fell in love, faced his true self, and came to understand what was really important in life – until the woman he fell in love with died and his life was cast into the chaotic emptiness of grief. Within that emptiness, Matt lost his wealth, his job, and everything that helped his life make sense.
Matt believed he could accept that if it really was the price of true love… Until he learned that the woman he loved had already been married.
Where that left him and what it meant for the love he thought they shared, Matt couldn’t know. His only recourse would be to meet the man who had married his love and understand what that love had meant to him. How could he have lost her? How could he have pushed her aside? How could he have given her up when losing her broke so much of what was left of Matt’s heart?
Matt is going to have to find out. Even if it means blundering through another relationship, driving into a lake, just a bit of kidnapping, and possibly facing the kind of man he really is, was, and always will be.
The results of which could change Matt’s life forever…

Thanks, chuckles!
I may have to try this author some time. Thanks for visiting my blog earlier.
I hope you do, Lauren!
I like a book that makes me ponder as well! Great review Sherry.
Great minds thinks alike. 🙂
I would probably cry this whole book. I am living it right now. I lost my sister and still am not able to talk about her without crying. It is so much worse losing her then both of my parents put together. Great review.
Mary
I am sorry to hear about that Mary. I lost my older sister a few years ago and think of her often.
