She is my moon. My stars. My Forever. For as long as the night lives and the moon shines, I am hers.
Vanessa is 21 and about to head off to college soon and move away from Ravenpeak Bay. But before she leaves, a mysterious Avery brother named Kolton returns to town. He found me sitting on the dock late at night looking out to the sea. It was only meant to be a fling. We were never meant to last. After we both left without goodbyes, a year later at college a chance encounter gave us one final moment together to lay our hearts to rest. Now 26, Vanessa has moved back to Ravenpeak Bay with a secret and a man who haunts her thoughts that she would never see again. But what happens when he shows up again after all this time?
I love this series so much. Ria doesn’t miss. I read this in 5 hours. I devoured Kolton and Vanessa’s story. Kolton was mysterious in the first two books but I appreciated why he did what he did for his family and we got the answers to understand him. Honestly, it was right person wrong time vibes. Vanessa is a strong woman and caring for her little boy was beautiful. The documented box of memories given to Kolton made my heart melt, but I was sad for him as all that precious time was lost. It’s a beautiful story. Out of the three books in the series, this is my favourite, followed by Torin’s and then Rhett's story.
Excited to read Ria’s spin-off soon called Playing With Fire with some other characters in this series.
