Thank you Eve Blakely for allowing me to read this as an ARC! I loved the first story of the series, and I loved this one too. Thank you for always writing such beautiful stories, and for messing with my feelings.

Another beautiful story by Eve Blakely! I was so excited about Alex and Kristenโ€™s story and I was not disappointed with what I read.

Alex is no doubt seen as your typical bad boy but he has a heart go fold and that man has gone through so much pain, I just want to steal him from Kristen and cuddled him until the sun comes up. Heโ€™s a beautiful man severely misunderstood and Iโ€™m glad he finally got his happy ending.

I love the mental health representation portrayed throughout the story and just how passionate Kristen is to help others. Sheโ€™s a wonderful woman and anyone who is friends with her is EXTREMELY lucky,

Sadly, some parts of the story were predictable which can often be disappointing, but while this was the case, there was a little twist towards the end that you knew was coming and yet happened in a way you didnโ€™t expect. I love that Eve can take something predictable and make it different,

As with the first story within the series, I do feel that there couldโ€™ve been more diversity within this story, it wouldโ€™ve been nice to see some LGBTQ+ representation alongside sexuality and disability. Despite this, I cannot find any more faults within this wonderful second chance love story,

Thank you Eve for allowing me a chance to read this as an ARC. You are on my favourite authors and your writing is always beautiful. If you haveโ€™t read any of her work, I recommend doing so!
