This book was such a great romance novel. I fell in love with Owen, Auburn and Adam and the way fate brought them all together in the way they needed in the right moment. I loved how the writer kept details of their lives away from us until the end too. It wasn’t as predictable as a lot of other romance novels.

This book was incredible and such a ride. I loved the plot and the story that gripped me and had me on edge. I highly recommend going into blind but there are some topics in here you may need to look into triggers first before diving in. I loved the aspect of the confessions and the sweet and sentimental moments between characters. There are a few tough situations in this that you read but you have hope to hold onto. There is something about Colleens writing that draws me in so deeply. The man Owen in this makes my heart swell. Auburn makes tough decisions that hurt your best but she is a strong women. The narration was fantastic. I was just reading along and tabbing as the story consumed me. 

I really loved this book so much. I will be thinking about this book for a while. It’s beautiful, heartbreaking, powerful and emotional.
