You know it’s going to be a good book you shed tears during the prologue. Alexandra Hale did that for me. I shed tears.  For this being my first book by her I am very happy. I will definitely go back and read the others. 

“A home, a family, a forever in this small town. I’d fallen in love and found my forever home.”

Sorren. This man has my heart. The little boy who I cried for, to the man who was still trying to protect those he loves. He didn’t realize he had a whole town to protect him. Their love for him was unconditional. Once he could get over the past, he would be unstoppable for Rhea. 

“I can’t wait to be incinerated by her fire. There’s no need to worry about being burned—I plan on being completely consumed by the flames.”

Rhea knew Sorren was it for her and was waiting for him to realize it also. Being best friends with him was good until it wasn’t. She is the one who always does things for others and is the glue that keeps the family happy and together. Getting Sorren to see that will take time. 

“I wanted stolen moments and kisses that were almost indecent in public and to come home after a long day and get lost in the comfort of a person who loved me every day and always.”

Overall amazing book. Quick and fast read for me. Loved it. 

“Yeah well, bottom line is we all have baggage and it’s up to the people we build a relationship with if they want to help us carry it or not. We can’t make that decision for them.”

“It’s because he’ll be wondering why someone as good as you would still be standing next to him.”

I did read this as an ARC for my honest review.
