Second chance romance where the exes after seven years get together; amidst landmines of secrets ♥️
Pick it up if you want to read a small town romance with complicated characters & relationship drama.
But I would suggest you pick up other books in this series & if you are not like me you can even skip this one & go to the next book - Jasper Vale.
Okay! I'm not a fan of this trope so maybe that's why this didn't work out for me. For me second chance romances are so tricky; they are either miss or hit. This is definitely a miss but for Talia & to read the next books in this series; somehow I finished this.
We get introduced to the third sibling of the Eden family; Talia: a doctor working in quincy memorial; being hard on herself to be better even though she is perfect in every aspect.
I just loved Talia so much just from the glimpses I got of her in other books & she is just so captivating she just makes you fall in love with her so easily. Her strength & determination are two things I admire about her a lot. Her vibe just makes everything better when she is around (✿ ♡‿♡)
Foster Madden is a champion fighter who lands in quincy & is so adamant to hear him out & is so focused on his justification of what happened seven years ago.
For me personally, I found it hard to like him. But at the same time I was not able to whole heartedly hate him. His actions had a justification but they didn't have the impact it was supposed to have as a reader to me. And the way he pushed her was so not okay. Even though he realises that yet, he keeps doing that. I also felt his assumption of things was so stupid.
I don't know maybe I loved Talia's character so much; I might have not liked foster as I thought she deserved better. It's one of the flaws of liking one MC so much over the other :p
But nevertheless; easy read though not as good as previous ones or the ones after this.
Of all the drama; my hatred for Vivienne skyrocketed towards the end.
Kadence's appearance was cute enough but was not enough to give this book an extra point (like Drake had my heart in Juniper Hill)
