At five years old, Lila knew that she was in love with her new teenage neighbour. When life took a tragic turn that made the family next door her new foster family, her bond with the handsome teenage only grew. The years go by and Lila is now an adult and those feelings for the man now known as Nova that some passed off as a silly crush have only intensified and Lila's unrequited feelings put their lifelong friendship to the test.
Book 5 of the Fallen Men series delivers highs, lows, angst, passion, heartbreak, and joy. The bond Lila & Nova have can't be denied and they fight for each other in their own ways, Lila is strong and fierce and knows what she wants and isn't afraid to risk her own heart for it. Nova is a Wolf in sheep's clothing he presents a happy go lucky persona that actually hides a well of self doubt and feelings of inadequacy when it comes to being the kind of man he thinks Lila deserves. The romance between these two is gritty, frustrating but heartachingly beautiful Lila definitely forgives Nova a tad too easily at times and I wish she pushed back more and made Nova work for it especially with the amount he pushed her away. I can't fully articulate what I loved about Nova. I just did, I think it was seeing him through Lilas eyes in all honesty, plus his dirty mouth didn't hurt. 🥵 This is another favourite of mine from this series, and I loved rereading it and enjoyed it just as much this time round as the first. Stephanie Nemeth-Parker & Aiden Snow did a fantastic job with their narration. One more reread to go before I'm finally on to the newest release in the series. 🌶🌶🌶
