📍“I’ve never been single. I’ve been yours.”

📍“I’m thinking about never realizing just how lonely I’ve been until the very moment I felt full. Now. Here, with you. You make me feel so full, I can’t even breathe, sometimes.”

📍“She’s that first ray of sunlight after a bad storm. Peeking through the clouds.”

📍“I’d burn everything to the ground for you and walk away without another look.”

Men written by women, am I right or am I right?! And Zac is the man written by a woman who puts all others to shame. My goodness, this man was something. Something quite special. The pinning. I just… you know what, you need to read it to understand. 😌

I must say that Melody’s story hit home. Sometimes we don’t see how t0xic a relationship is until we’re out. The red flags — so obvious after — are everywhere but we are completely oblivious to them.

Thank goodness for torrential rain in books because close proximity in the middle of the woods is pretty much unbeatable 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I adored this book. No, I loooooved this one. This kind of second chance romance had me eating out of its pages with all the delicious slow burn 🔥 Absolutely perfect 👏🏼👏🏼

This was my first Ellie K. Wilde. And it’s always quite risky to request an ARC by an author you haven’t read before but I’m patting myself on the back for making this decision 😎

Thank you so much @atriabooks @elliekwildeauthor and @netgalley for this gifted ARC.
