Wow. This Book. Words could never do
justice to all the emotions and stomach clenching heartbreak I have gone
through reading this book. It is definitely one of the best books I have read
this year and the irony is that I didn’t want to read it.
Don’t get me wrong, I signed up to
review it, I loved the blurb and the promise of it being non cheating with a
HEA had me thinking I had to have it. But between then and everyday life when
it came time to sit down and read it I just felt like I NEEDED something light
and I couldn’t handle the angst I knew this would bring. That said I was
running out of time to read this so I sat at the optometrist waiting for our
daughter to get her eye tests done and I started it.
I got to 3% and I was so gone over these
characters and the way the words were written and the story that was being told
I couldn’t handle putting it down. I kept trying to explain it’s epicness to my
husband who really doesn’t care except for the fact he is happy I am so
excited. Every time I had to put it down I had to go to GoodReads and tell the
world that this book is breathtaking.
The story is told in dual POV and that
gave me a pretty good idea of who Maverick is going to end up with but it’s
also told in flashbacks and the emotion she felt for Killian made me question
everything I thought. I honestly had no idea who she was going to choose. I was
waiting for the plot twist that was going to destroy me because it honestly
didn’t matter who she chose because the importance was more on the why than the
who.
This book is a love triangle but it’s so
much more than that. It’s a heartbreaking journey through the life of a woman
torn apart by the two people she loves most in the world and the decisions she
makes as truths about their intertwined past comes to light and changes her
view on everything she thought was absolute in her life and I absolutely got
lost in every word of it.
Even now just thinking about it and
trying to put into words the perfection of this story I have tears streaming
down my face and I can’t say enough things about this book to express my love
of it. That said I think you need to experience and feel this book without any
idea of the journey it will take you on. So put aside your reservations about
love triangles or anything else and dive in. You can’t miss this book, it’s
utter perfection.

I’ve loved him as long as I can remember.
The gangly boy with big brown eyes and unruly hair who grew up into an intoxicating man. He wears scruff like he invented it and ambles with a swagger that makes panties drop.
Killian Shepard.
Shep.
We grew up together. We played Ghost in the Graveyard. Had our own rock band. It didn’t matter that he was five years older than me. It didn’t matter that he looked at me as a kid sister even as I grew into a woman. It didn’t even matter when he left me behind to go to college and start his adult life.
He’d be back.
He was always meant to be mine.
He came back, all right. But instead of smelling of promises, he stunk of betrayal. And he destroyed me—us—the day he married my sister instead of me.
So I did the only thing a girl like me in my position could do.
I got my revenge.
I married his brother, Kael.
Now we’re one big happy fucking family.

Author Bio
I’m just a regular ol’ Midwest girl who likes Game of Thrones and am obsessed with Modern Family and The Goldbergs. I run, I eat, I run, I eat. It’s a vicous cycle. I love carbs, but there’s love-hate relationship with my ass and thighs. Mostly hate. I like a good cocktail (oh hell…who am I kidding? I love any cocktail). I’m a huge creature of habit, but I’ll tell you I’m flexible. I read every single day and if I don’t get a chance…watch the hell out, I’m a raving bitch. My iPad and me: BFFs. I’m direct and I make no apologies for it. I swear too much. I love alternative music and in my next life I want to be a bad-ass female rocker. I hate, hate, hate spiders, telemarketers, liver, acne, winter and loose hairs that fall down my shirt (don’t ask, it’s a thing).
