“He protected my heart, my memories, our marriage, and my life fiercely. He never gave up—even when the odds were stacked against us.”
Yo.

This has to be my favorite of the series. Asher is the lead singer of his rock band, and he has been featured in the other books and moody but also the wise one that helps his brothers and cousins find their love. You finally get so see his story, his wife Ember who has been in a coma for the last 8 years, and how much time he spends with her, hoping for her to wake up and coma back to him.
However when she does wake, she doesn't remember him or the last 18 years together. Asher struggles with wanting Ember to be exactly like she was before, hoping to jar her memory by surrounding her with her past. Ember just wants to learn who she is now, not be stuck in the past.
You see glimpses of them flirting and rebuilding their relationship, and also taking steps back. Asher is trying so hard, but is also struggling on how to behave around his wife. This book broke my heart in so many ways. Watching them navigate such a tough situation was so hard. I am so glad that it ended the way it did, even if it was a rough journey.

What a ride
Yes, it took me a while to read this through, but I was busy okay? Yet, the characters are hard to forget and it was easy to pick up where I left off. It was beyond a rollercoaster I imagined it being, but not half as good as I imagined it being. Better. Exceeded my expectations tenfold and more. Even the Redwood was a scary type I did expect more of his bad deeds, but then again the book had enough of trauma seeping through the pages. We can only dream of such love and we should. Not only dream of such, but live it.
