Dang what a rocky road

Revenge is best served boss, that's what Holt thought. Both he and Sylvie went through some ish that very few people could endure. Sylvie did what she had to do to help her parents, even though they shut her out of their live, she still wanted to help them and be the good daughter they raised her to be. She was a naive innocent young woman when she and Holt met. Holt was dealing with his own demons from witnessing the suicide of his mother and using drugs to self medicate his anxiety. They both fell helplessly in love with each other until that fateful day that changed everything.

Holt desperately tried to move on with his life unknowingly being under the influence of his father, Jack Calson. He tried to model his life after him and his grandfather Hank, but realized after going through more drama that he was his own person and was a better person because Sylvie was back in he and his son Wes' life. Both he and Sylvie's realization that karma was at play to put them back together after 10 years, made them come back together for their boys and their love. They were destined to be with each other and to resist was futile.

I love the way that Theodora wrote this story. It was full of drama and mystery. She kept teasing the read with just enough tidbits to make the reader wonder what was going on and what the hell else is going to happen to this couple. That mugger incident had my heart in my throat. The storyline was well plotted, written and executed. It kept my attention from beginning to end.
