My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a series I am going to have to finish from start to finish. I loved it truly with all my soul. The characters were beyond relatable, and that normally is something I will go out of my way to find for representation in my self when reading a book. And I basically was more than drawn with relations both to the main characters. This story was beautiful, emotional, and worth every page with every word I read.

I must have a say in the way the story flowed, the author knew certainly how to draw her readers in, tease them with some nice treats, and lead them more down the rabbit hole of the book. I had a few nights of not sleeping so I went to read, I told myself again and again just a few more pages, and those turned into a few more chapters, and that turned into oh would you look at that, I fished the book!

SO Yes Indeed Wyatt and Annabelle were relatable to me. They had hardships, but not just any hardships, it was events they had each gone thru in their life times that shaped them to be who they are today along with their wounded hearts. The ability to prevent themselves from finding love and trust in someone, or let alone using those two words in the same sentence. They did not have a fairy tale romance experience, but perhaps this second encounter of coming back into one another’s life, perhaps there was something stull burning that they felt was burned out long ago?

Yes they had their similarities, and both were quite strong willed. I found they both were also as fragile as a fortune cookie. But what both of them didn’t know, is not how much they wanted, but how much they needed one another Not just in their lives, but to fix their hearts that both have been wronged so much before and to finally, give their hearts a chance to heal and feel again.

This book helped me reflect on my past relationships. The memories they brought me, the the sad and emotional times, and the hurt and trust issues I had gained from them. And how it made me not want to find love as I felt it was easier not to get hurt. I met my now husband by a sheer chance of fate, and I learned when you have a chance to male a leap and feel all you need even how afraid you are, just hold your breath and take that jump.

Annabelle and Wyatt had to do just that. It wasn’t easy to gallop or walk down the road from both their ends, but in the end they had a connection they could not deny and they chose the path that was best for them and learned from this experience, not just about themselves, but about life, love, and to trust their hearts, for when its telling you something, even though how scary and crazy it may sound you are best to trust your heart fully with no doubts.

This was a inspirational, beautiful, captivating, as well as moving series. It brought on a lot of smiles and emotions for me. I’m so happy I read this book and walked in Wyatt’s and Annabelle’s shoes, I learned a lot not just about them, but about myself as well as realizing how lucky I am to be married to the love of my life.

Amazing start to a series. I can not wait for the next one as I will be anxiously waiting for the next book. This author knows how to write and bring forth beautiful writing and a beautiful story.

Thank you Olivia Sherwood for this beautiful start to series, that truly has captured my heart!
