Since I first picked up a Maggie Rawdon novel I've been obsessed. Unfortunately for me and my absolute lack of patience I stumbled on her early, but each book has just further increased my stalkerness. So, when I saw the sign up for this I jumped on, blindly. Then I received a few teasers and saw it was Ramsay's book. Yay. And it was going to be dark. Double yay.

 

What I missed somehow or probably ignored because I was so focused on the two previous things and a few others was that this was a second chance romance.  I HATE second chance. And even more so when one or both characters have moved on. First what went wrong the first time that you called it quits? How can you get over it now if you couldn't work through it then? Also, now there's this whole other person that you claim to love? 

 

So, as I'm reading this I'm just hating everyone. And I really didn't want to. I wanted to be lost in it, I wanted to love Ramsey and Hazel. But I just couldn't. I got too caught up in all the water under their bridge and I drowned in it.

 

That said the actual story outside of them I was caught in. The secondary characters and the town, I am there for. The next book in the series I am blindly jumping on because every single one of my issues with this book was a me issue and I still had to read it to the very last page. So, if you're like me and can't stand second chance, maybe give this one a miss. But if you don't mind second chance then jump right in and discover what an amazing storyteller this author is.
