Mary Persephone Hail
Mary—well-wished-for child.
Persephone—destruction.
Hail—well that speaks for itself.
Her name is painful to think about. Mary, his newfound daughter, isn’t a wished-for child. Persephone, though? Yeah, destruction is a fitting description. And Hail? Yeah, that’s just the final f-you.
The moment that her mother drops her off on his doorstep, Dante’s hell becomes complete.
Or so he thinks.
What can make life worse after losing one’s wife and kids, you ask? Here’s what: being given a baby that depends on him for her survival. Finding out that the baby’s mother is dying of brain cancer, and has a husband that he never knew about. A husband that Dante knows in the marrow of his bones is trying to kill her just as surely as the cancer eating her brain.
Dante’s a bad person. He’s done some not so nice things, and now he’s being punished for his misdeeds. Karma is finally catching up to him.
This child that he’s been stuck with is of his flesh and bone. This child is his salvation. This child is the final nail in the coffin of his wife and daughters’ too short lives.
He doesn’t want this child.
But this child will save him whether he wants her to or not.
With the help of a friend—yes, a woman friend—Dante finds his way back to life. But what he finds when he gets back isn’t the same life that he left behind. Turns out, he has to start living a new one. One where he's suddenly having feelings for a friend that helped him get through some tough times, and loving a daughter that won’t let him quit.

Hail
Mary is the final book in this series and the most anticipated for me. If you’ve been reading the series, you know
that Dante is a broken man in so many ways.
His wife and children were killed by his sister who was driving, then
his sister committed suicide, and he was left with a child on his doorstep that
he didn’t know he had. My heart broke
for this man for all of the tragedy he suffered.
Poor
Cobie isn’t faring much better than Dante. Her best friend just passed away and
she is dealing with cancer. You can’t
help but feel your heart breaking with everything she has to endure.
As
Dante and Cobie are brought together by unforeseen circumstances, Dante takes
her into his house to help her heal after surgery. Dante is raising his daughter, Mary, who has
Down Syndrome and you can feel the love he has for her. He wants to protect her with everything
does. Being leery of how Cobie will
react to Mary, he soon finds out they are what they all need to survive.
But,
Cobie is one hard-headed woman! She
doesn’t like to accept help and tries so much to stand on her own two feet. She wants to be independent and who can blame
her? But Dante is one man she can’t
deny.
I
love the connection of not only Dante and Cobie, but of Cobie and Mary’s as
well. Cobie loves Mary from the
beginning and that is one thing that draws Dante in even more. To me, that is true love when she accepts his
child so easily. I really enjoyed this
book because there is a lot of depth into Cobie’s cancer and you can’t help but
for your heart to break a little too.
The love that Cobie and Dante have for each other is amazing and when
you have two broken people who help heal the other, you desperately want their
happily ever after. I will really miss
this series because I have loved all of the characters in each book.
