Synopsis:
*This will be a STANDALONE CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE.*
Aimee’s wedding is supposed to turn out perfect. Her dress, her fiancé and the location—the idyllic holiday ranch in Brazil—are perfect.
But all Aimee’s plans come crashing down when the private jet that’s taking her from the U.S. to the ranch—where her fiancé awaits her—defects mid-flight and the pilot is forced to perform an emergency landing in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.
With no way to reach civilisation, being rescued is Aimee and Tristan’s—the pilot—only hope. A slim one that slowly withers away, desperation taking its place. Because death wanders in the jungle under many forms: starvation, diseases. Beasts.
As Aimee and Tristan fight to find ways to survive, they grow closer. Together they discover that facing old, inner agonies carved by painful pasts takes just as much courage, if not even more, than facing the rainforest.
Despite her devotion to her fiancé, Aimee can’t hide her feelings for Tristan—the man for whom she’s slowly becoming everything. You can hide many things in the rainforest. But not lies. Or love.
Withering Hope is the story of a man who desperately needs forgiveness and the woman who brings him hope. It is a story in which hope births wings and blooms into a love that is as beautiful and intense as it is forbidden.

My 4 star review of Withering Hope
I really enjoyed this novel from Layla Hagen, it was my
first book by her- and I can say it won’t be my last. This story is a standalone,
one of hope- of determination and perseverance.
Aimee is on her way to her wedding. She has everything
planned out to a tee- especially her life. And when the private jet she is
taking crashes in route to this wedding, needless to say, nothing goes as
planned. They have no communication and they are in the middle of the Amazon
Rainforest. The only chance she has is Tristan, the pilot- they can work
together and survive.
But the more time they spend together, trying to live- the
harder it is to fight the chemistry that is blooming between them. On the
Island is one of my FAVES, and this had a similar feel to it, but I was totally
ok with that! There is more than one way to tell a story like this. I loved
knowing how they survived because I can’t imagine that happening to me.
I really liked the slow building romance, because while yes she was engaged to another man, she did feel that hopelessness that she would never see him again- and start to believe in the hope she could be with Tristan. And I loved Tristan- he really tried to keep away from Aimee at first, but the more they got to know each other, the harder it was.

I really loved this
book, and I would re- read when my TBR gets shorter that is! I loved the dang
epilogue, seeing into their future was amazing! I received this story in
advance in exchange for my honest review!
