I am going to do my absolute best to write this review without mentioning Founded on Goodbye at all. They are absolutely two separate love stories, and while I love FoG, Bash and Riley deserve all the attention in the world for this! I loved both of them in FoG, so I definitely went into this already attached to the characters. What I wasn’t prepared for was their depth. They both seemed so easy going and carefree in FoG, but FoT delves into their pasts and their struggles. And how those things affect them now, and affect them as a couple and their future. And how it nearly rips them apart. Sebastian and Riley had sexy flirty banter from the time Sebastian layed eyes on her, and couldn’t take them off her. I loved that their journey started in that cabin. (At least something good came out of that trip!) Having to relive the fall out between Nash and Nora ripped me apart all over again. Especially going through it from Sebastian and Riley’s POVs. It nearly kept them from reuniting. Don’t worry...Sebastian wouldn’t let it. I wasn’t expecting Bash to be so SOFT! He’s sweet, loving, caring, adorable. And he’s got a thing for countertops. When things are going perfect, so very perfect, Riley begins to doubt everything. But Sebastian doesn’t allow her to push him away or close herself off from him. He makes sure she knows how hurt he is by her trying to though. And no matter what it takes, he’s prepared to fight tooth and nail to prove that this is a forever thing.
