“Sometimes life throws you a tricky hand and you make a choice that’s best at the time, but then it snowballs.”
Isla met the love of her life at 10, they got together at 16 but then Cillian was drafted to the NHL at 19. Distance, time and one stupid night changed everything. Walls came tumbling down, hearts broken, choices were made and now it’s five years later he is back in town and meeting his daughter for the first time. What could go wrong?
This pulled on the heart and I loved it. At the start I was really angry, I struggled to love the MMC. But then the real truth comes out and you still can’t forget what happened in the past that caused all this pain and hurt to the FMC. Then my heart was twisted. I was gutted as I could see all the manipulation, lies and all the years that were lost for both of them. These two are soul mates and even though everything went up in flames they found a way back to each other. The grovelling this man did and letters won me over. I'm a hopeless romantic and he never gave up. The only thing is he fell into the role of dad quite fast and was demanding time with Sadie which I appreciated but it sucked and made me frustrated and sad looking in from the outside. Other than that it was brilliant. The audiobook was fantastic by Austin and Megan mostly dual but had a few moments duet.

When it comes to this type of story, cheating, I love how Alison plays it out.
This was so good, and I really want to have it in a physical. I’m so glad that everything kinda worked out and we got to see that. Yes it’s his fault for some of the stuff happening, but it’s also her fault for not trying to tell him at different times in both their lives.
