Sarah has been crushing on Aiden for the longest time, so it feels like a dream when Aiden finally returns her feelings and they start dating. But her dreams were shattered when Aiden decided to enlist in the military. Aiden proposed and asked her to wait for 3 years to come back and marry her. Fast forward 20 years later, Sarah is now divorcing her husband (not Aiden) and going back to her parentโ€™s home with 2 teenage boys, just as Aiden decided to retire from the militaryโ€ฆ.

The book picks right up from Wild Hearts, when Aiden suddenly shows up at the family dinner. Just around the same time, Sarah came back to town after divorcing her cheating husband. We slowly learn the snippets of their relationship while Aiden was in the military for the first time through their letter exchange. Because I have no idea what made their relationship crumble years ago, I was curious the whole time until it was revealed later in the book. 

I will always pick up a second chance romance book, itโ€™s one of my all-time favorite tropes. I love the grovel that is usually involved, and Aiden did a top-notch groveling, and I love that. Heโ€™s definitely the one in the wrong, and it was hard listening to the flashback of their breakup years ago. But he did make it up in my opinion, especially what he did at the end. A big grand gesture from the hero always gets me! Poor Sarah, she went through so much in her life, from Aidenโ€™s selfishness, her cheating husband, and her chronic pain, this woman just cannot get a break. But she is such a good mother to her boys, and she worked really hard for them. So she deserves everything, and Aiden is ready to give it to her. This is how a second chance romance should end, and I love their story so much.

I love both narrators, they have done a great job delivering the characters into life, itโ€™s so easy to listen and I enjoy my time with this book. Samantha particularly did such a great job portraying other characters with her voice, I could feel the distinction from one character to another, well done!
