I’m loving this author. Two books out and both were 5 stars for me. Definitely the expert of the second chance romance. I cried at the end and whenever a book has me staying up late and crying that has to be 5 stars. I was just so in love with Will for sure and their love story. I would be happy with more smut but there was enough to keep me going! I was invested. I can’t wait to read whatever she writes next.

This book was a 4 star read for me until I read the authors note at the end of the book. As someone who is 7 months postpartum, her words resounded so much in me. Bravo to Carley for so openly sharing her struggles so others may seek help. 

Fern and Will have a beautiful relationship and I was cheering for them from the beginning. My heart broke for both of them many times. I agree with what others have said that the grieving process for Fern seemed rushed. Otherwise it's a lovely love story.
