About the author

Leddy Harper had to use her imagination often as a child. She grew up the only girl in a house full of boys. At the age of fourteen, she decided to use that imagination and wrote her first book, and never stopped. She often calls writing her therapy, using it as a way to deal with issues through the eyes of her characters.
She is now a mother of three girls. The decision to publish her first book was made as a way of showing her children to go after whatever it is they want to. Love what you do and do it well. And to teach them what it means to overcome their fears.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 18, 2017This was my first time reading from Leddy Harper and I wish someone had warned me about the angst. This author knows how to tug on the old heartstrings. She pulled so much out of me and held me completely captivated by her characters and their plight.
As much as this story was about Dane and Eden finding a way to be together, I felt it was more about Dane and Gabi. Unfortunately I wasn't sold on the grand love that was supposed to exist between Dane and Eden and found their relationship lacked real passion. It could be because they were overshadowed by what was going on with Gabi. Or the strong and passionate feelings Dane had for her. He was invested, devoted and protective of Gabi in ways I couldn't see him being with Eden. I couldn't connect to Eden and so my affection for her suffered. It could also be because not enough time was spent on them as a couple. The entire book Dane is with Gabi and very little time was left to convince me of Dane and Eden's love everlasting.
My heart broke for Dane and Gabi. The author did an incredible job of cataloging her depression and its effects on Dane. Leddy Harper took me on a journey of pain that seemed to tear a hole right through my gut. I wasn't sure how it was possible, but I wanted each character to attain their own version of happiness. Each and every one of them deserved it, in my opinion. I loved that this story had no bad guy, just three broken souls that needed repair.
Aside from the fact that I found the ending not to my satisfaction and found it lackluster, I enjoyed the heck out of the rest of the story. If you're looking for a story that takes a firm grip of your heart, alternating between a brutal squeeze and a loving massage, you'll find it with DANE. I know I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 star emotions
Verified PurchaseI loved this book it threw all the emotions at you in one read.
The whole story had me hooked and I was enthralled by it all and to say I loved both characters was understatement.
Dane is at a place in his life when he meets Eden, where he's unsure of what he's doing is the right thing. He's torn between doing the right thing for all parties involved. As Dane has always been selfless in life, until meeting Eden changes him, he has to decide whether to continue being selfless or selfish.
I loved Dane, but my god did Eden steal the limelight, she was the epitome of understanding and just a kind genuine person.
The whole story and characters gave me the feelings that I love when reading a story so emotionally as this and I couldn't wait to see how it all ended.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 everything happens for a reason stars!! I ADORED this book!!
Verified PurchaseDane by Leddy Harper
5 stars!!!
“There’s a reason for everything.”
I have read quite a few books by Leddy Harper and in all honesty, they have been hit or miss, ranging from 2 stars to 4 stars. It was this synopsis though that drew me to this book, short and to the point, not a lot given away but enough to get my mind whirring about what could potentially be inside. Nothing could have prepared me for what Leddy Harper delivered though, I cannot say enough how much I loved this book. From the minute I started reading, the world ceased to exist, I was captivated and I was turning those pages like a loon. As soon as I had finished I knew that I had read an amazing book, I knew that it would be on my top favourites list of 2017 and I knew that I had to tell my book friends to READ THIS BOOK!
I love an author who is brave, one that isn’t scared to tell an honest story, one that delivers true life on a platter in all its warts and all glory. Yes, we read to escape reality, but sometimes it is the relatable stories that leave the bigger impact and boy did this book leave its mark. Leddy Harper held my heart hostage throughout this book, she wrung every single emotion out of it, every single heart string was severed and then delicately sewn back together. I love a book that makes me feel, I love a book that I can get lost in…live and breathe the story and this journey was one I took willingly and completely.
“I had no idea the demons never left, because I never knew they existed.”
Life is never what it seems, we see the outside, the façade that people are willing to show, we think that some people have it all, but have you really wondered what happens to them behind closed doors? Male pride is an indomitable feeling, but loneliness, abandonment, rejection, isolation and just that need for human touch and comfort are far more powerful but add to that the overwhelming need to protect and you have a man on a precipice. Dane was on that precipice.
“Sometimes we do things without personal gain…We stick things out and stay places for other people. It’s not always about ourselves. It’s not always about what we get in return. I can’t think about myself all the time…I can’t expect her to take care of me when she can’t even take care of herself.”
I cannot and will not say anything about the plot because this is a book that you need to go into blind, I beg you not to read spoiler reviews because you need to experience this as the author intended. There is no cheating, I will say that much as I know that is a trigger for some but their connection as friends could blur on the side of risqué. This though was a book for the emotional reader, one that thrives on character connection, one that loves the cathartic release of tears but thrives on the smiles that follow. This book ticked all my boxes.
“You came in and swept me up like a hurricane. I wasn’t prepared for it, and now I’m scared of the destruction that’ll be left behind when you’re gone.”
Even though this is Dane’s book I want to talk about Eden first. It is very rare I really admire a heroine but Eden spoke to me in so many ways. Eden was an old head on young shoulders and while for the romance readers in us some may get frustrated with her hesitation and reluctance I admired her for it. Eden had morals, her self-preservation instincts were high and she stood her ground when it would have been so easy to jump. Eden was the voice of reason in this book, the angel on the shoulder giving the sage advice when the devil on the other was desperately shouting, wanting to be heard. Eden was the voice of caution and I loved her for it.
“That’s the problem. I’ve become your emotional crutch. You’re not happy at home, your relationship is weighing on you, and instead of concentrating on that, you come to me for the highs to balance out your lows. I’ve become your vacation.”
Dane was the epitome of perfect, my heart and soul hurt for him, and the situation he finds himself in was untenable. I felt his desperation, I felt his feelings of helplessness…I just felt everything. Dane was selfless, benevolent, kind and magnanimous, he was extremely loyal, protective and understanding. When he loves, he loves hard and all in, no middle ground. This was a man that captured my heart and once you understand the truth that Leddy Harper so frustratingly seeps out like water from the tiniest of cracks, your heart only aches the more. Dane was incredibly easy to love.
“I just effing wanted to be happy again.”
Dane and Eden meeting was kismet, everything happens for a reason and these two met when both needed the other the most. I loved the build from strangers to friends to confidantes to eventual lovers and more. I loved that it wasn’t rushed and while these two are not together for the majority of the story the connection, the attraction, the chemistry is ever present on every single page. The constant struggle between right and wrong was always there and the desperation that these two felt was constantly eating away at me. This is a book that will make you question yourself, do not make a blanket judgement in the beginning…keep reading.
“I didn’t want to stop living.”
I admire Leddy Harper for the way in which she delivered this book, she took a tough subject and delivered it with honesty and compassion, she turned this subject on its head and made you see how others are affected, especially those closest to you. The characters are not perfect, but it is their imperfections that matter the most. This was a book about sacrifice, the pro’s and con’s, guilt and its many manifestations but most of all this was a book about right and wrong, recognising that love happens when you least expect it and sometimes, even when you think you have met your soul mate, you haven’t and it takes meeting your destined to recognise it. Totally and utterly adored this book and while I would have loved a little more of them together, I was satiated with what I got. Amazing book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A really fun, easy read
Verified PurchaseI just loved this from start to finish. Dane was sexy and attractive and had some hard choices to make and whilst he frustrated me at times, it all came together for me in the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars Everything Happens For A Reason!!!
Verified PurchaseI am a huge Leddy Harper fan. She has a writing style I love. Words flow easy and her characters are always intriguing. This book is chock full of emotional turmoil and brought about all the feels. It was highly engaging, and I did not want to put it down. This book revolves around the lives of three people and their place in each other's lives. It had an element of surprise as it was unclear throughout the book what any of the main 3 characters were going to do at any point in time.
I couldn't help but empathize with Dane from the start. He was in a no-win situation and sacrificed his own dreams for the well-being of someone else. Her life was more important than his, at the detriment to lots of things. Gabi was a troubled soul who couldn't find her way out of the demons that have plagued her life for a long time. Eden was the trickiest character for me. I genuinely liked her character from the beginning, but struggled with how she pushed Dane to open up and then almost used all the information and things he shared with her against him. It seemed clear who belonged together in this book and this book has a HEA (YAY), but I struggled with how Eden acted along the way in regards to Dane. Though her feelings and reactions are honest and mostly justified, I struggled with how she went about things at times.
One of the things I fully support in this book is the notion that everything (including devastating tragedies and traumatic events) happens for a reason, and sometimes with that can come beautiful changes or the most blessed gifts. If there is an ultimate message to take from this book, that would be it...at least for me. I can't wait to read what Leddy Harper comes up with next. Her books are an automatic one-click for me!!!
