Ehd & “Beh”: An Absolutely Beautiful Love Story! 5 Stars
I had no idea I would love this book so much! I am still wiping the tears from my eyes on this one! I cannot say enough happy w much of an enjoyable read this was.
Ehd, is a non-verbal man who the reader presumably lives in primitive times. He lives in a cave, hunts for his food, and wears leathers made from animal hides. The lone survivor of his tribe, Ehd has lived alone for much of his early adulthood and struggled to survive in his own without any other human contact. One day, while checking one of his animal traps, he finds a young woman who wears strange clothing and makes “sounds” from her mouth he doesn’t understand. Believing that he has been gifted a mate, he takes her back to his cave and tries to prove himself to be a worthy mate. Of course, the woman is terrified. From there our story begins!
First to the author, Shay Savage… you are a freaking genius! I cannot imagine how hard it was to write this book from one singular point of view. Having the story told entirely from Ehd’s point of view gave the reader a birds-eye view into the the world according to Ehd. The reader gets to experience everything from the awkward first meeting to their formal introduction and his new mate trying to teach Ehd her name, only for him to finally settle on calling her “Beh”. We felt the frustration from both characters from Ehd’s private thoughts and his descriptions of Beh’s reactions. Quite clever!
Shay Savage gives you an entire love story from an awkward first start to an irrevocably epic finish! I laughed, I cried, I cheered, and I grew frustrated for Ehd and Beh. This book took me through a myriad of emotions and I’m not ashamed to say, I was choked up and bawling my eyes out at the end. Such a warm, entertaining love story, I double dog dare you not to cry!
I cannot recommend this book enough! Remember, this book is written in first person with very little dialogue as Ehd is mute and the story is told from his POV. I simply loved it! I will definitely read more from Shay Savage, as she has proven herself to be a brilliant writer!
Happy Reading!
