This is a go-to author for me so it was no brainer that I picked up book 3 in the Love Grows Series By Renee Regent.
I absolutely loved this read, and it was made even better by the fact I had read the two previous reads in this series, which I highly recommend you do as you wouldn’t want to miss out on this author’s incredible writing style, epic storyline and brilliant characters. This was a captivating read from the get-go, I was hooked on Audrey’s story and couldn’t wait to find out more! This is a second chance read that has all the emotions. With Silas back in Audrey’s life, what impact will it make to her? These two have amazing chemistry that I loved reading develop and watching their relationship grow throughout the read!
I can’t wait to see what else this author brings, I highly recommend her and this series!

Not So Far is the 3rd book in the Love Grows Series by Renee Regent. I had read, and loved, the first 2 books in the series and was looking forward to reading another. Not So Wrong is a great second chance romance with characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. Audrey Colebank is a recently widowed mother of 3 with a huge secret eating away at her. Silas was the love of her life as a teenager and she was devastated when he left and has never forgiven him. Silas has returned to town after the death of his grandfather and his arrival throws Audrey into turmoil. She hates Silas for what he did to her but her body can’t help but still be attracted to him. Silas also has a huge secret of his own as to why he left. Will either of them divulge the huge secrets that would cause even more turmoil to the other? Can Silas win back Audrey, the love of his life? Can Audrey put the past behind her and make a future with Silas? I’m not going to answer any of these questions. I urge you to read this great book and get the answers for yourself. This is a great second chance romance that will pull at your heartstrings and drag you through a range of emotions. 100% recommend.

Not So Far (Love Grows series, Book 3)by Renee Regent
By 5 out of 5
Not So Far is the third book in the love grows series by Renee Regent and I have loved all three books. The characters are well written and strong minded. I just love their quirkiness that the characters share.
Audrey and Silas where teenage lovers for a summer. She thought they had true love, but he left and she doesn’t know why. Now he is back in town and her feelings are just as strong but there is so much water under the bridge, so much anger, so much pain, so much lost, so many secrets.
Silas wants to tell Audrey why he left but he can’t. Will she believe him when he comes clean? Will Audrey tell Silas her secrets? Will Silas forgive Audrey for her secrets?

I enjoyed this standalone story in Renee Regent’s ‘Love Grows’ series, it is a lovely second chance at love story. Silas and Audrey were young when they first fell in love and came from very different backgrounds when Silas just disappeared they were both left heartbroken. When fate brings Silas back to Atlanta, Georgia he is determined to have a second chance at love with Audrey, the only girl he has ever loved. However telling Audrey why he left will devastate her and Silas is not the only one with a secret. I loved the two main characters and the attraction between them was obvious as was the hurt and distrust. I found this an enjoyable read and although this is the first book I’ve read by Renee Regent it will not be the last.

So this isn’t what I expected by a long shot. I was looking for romance and this doesn’t really have that. The story was difficult to read because the characters irritated me. Many times i just wanted to put the book down. These family dynamics in here are tough and I lean towards stronger characters with a little backbone. The writing was good and easily drew me in (like a car crash) and kept my interest. The characters are a nightmare. Too many times I just wanted to smack some sense into them. There isn’t one to like and Just when I thought I did find one, that person did something horrible and I am back to square one.
I have VERY strong feelings towards this book. I have a dislike/hate relationship with the characters. I almost wish Cooper was written as little stronger (overall) and maybe softer towards Bailey. That might make him more palatable. Then maybe I could root for him. I just didn’t understand his whole hate/love demeanor all the time towards Bailey.
This is kind of a soft ending. Meaning if the reader is happy with the ending. Great But if not there is more in the next book.

4 stars! Designing Love is book 3 of the Calderone Family Series. I have not read the other 2 books, and I was able to understand and stay caught up with this book, so it can be read as a standalone. Caroline is the maid of honor at her best friend’s wedding, Charles is the best man for his brother in that same wedding. Their relationship starts off kind of rocky but slowly comes around to something beautiful. When Caroline is chosen as the architect for the Calderone family business, I was weary that it would go very well due to the budding romance between Caroline and Charles, and I was right to feel that way. I felt as though their fights were ridiculous and that Caroline would get mad and agitated with Charles for really small and trivial things. In the end I love how Charles stuck it out with her, was there for her for all her ups and downs including, a family crisis, an award, and all her many doubts. They both said they would never get married, Charles especially after he was turned down on his first marriage proposal to his previous girlfriend, and that love wasn’t for either of them, but I guess you never know how love will affect you.
The secondary characters were also a fantastic element to the book and meeting them, I look forward to going back and reading the first 2 books of the series.

When the happiest day of your life turns into the worst day of your life in seconds can you recover from the ordeal and live to find happiness well for Bryer she will have to dig deep to try and recover from this disaster and still want the love of her life.
Bryer and Nathan are finally on track, organising the wedding of their dreams but will a blast from the past ruin everything they have work and strived so hard to have, when they think he has gone in rolls Cash like a bad penny.
Oh my this man is on a one way mission to ruin Bryer’s biggest day of her life. He believes he is the only one for her and no-one will have her if he can’t and he puts a lot of obstacles in the way. Cash has always been the top dog and he is not going to back down with out a final battle to the end.
Will Nathan and Bryer be able to overcome all the crap and push through and will their love prevail and win in the end, you will have to read the book to find out if they have their forever?
I loved all the characters, yes, even Cash because without him you would not see the true character of Bryer and Nathan. The story continues brilliantly from the last two stories and you feel like you are walking there footsteps with each hurdle they overcome. Although I could have drop kicked Cash I do have to throw a lifeline to Cash as he was hurting and although his actions were wrong I do feel a little bit sorry for him, I know I must need my head read lol.
This is the best out of the three stories, well written and the characters are just great I could see me being friends with Bryer and you feel while reading the story that you are with them enjoying the ups and down as you go through the story.
Well done Ms Wine these are the first books I have read from your collection and I will be reading more.

What happens when your life is finally on track and then a blast from the past who you truly loved comes back into your life to threaten everything, well that’s the dilemma Audrey has when Silas comes back into her life to see if the love they had years ago still there.
Audrey has never really forgotten about her first love Silas but when he up and left she was heartbroken but when a chance meeting again threatens to stir all those emotion back up but does she want to go back and put her heart on the line to have it broken all over again.
Silas has thought about the love he lost all those years ago and going back to Atalanta seems the best option to try and re-kindle the love he felt with Audrey but will a secret from his past throw that relationship out of the water or will she be able to forgive him and have want they should have always deserved all those years ago.
I really enjoyed this story, it was full of emotion and a beautiful woven story, I have not read the other two books and felt although the book flowed I would have been better getting more information from the two stories before but that did not deflect from this book, I am greedy and wanted to know more about other characters and Silas and Audrey.
The characters were well developed, you were taken into the story and held all through. The female lead Audrey was sassy and independent, Silas was a great counter to this wonderful female character. I recommend this book and this wonderful story but I would try to read the first two books first just to give some background. I certainly will be reading them shortly.

Stepbrother (Step Dilemma Series Book 1) by Stacy McWilliams was a good 4 star read.
I really enjoyed Bailey and Coopers story. They didn’t start out on the best foot but she still found him hot as heck. You could feel the hate between them coming off the pages. My emotions were all over the place for Bailey and everything this poor girl went through. Her parents divorce, she loses someone close to her and so much more. All she wanted and needed was someone to love her and treat her with respect. She had no real parents, which broke my heart.
Cooper, where to start with this one. The way he treated Bailey definitely does not lead you to think that he has feelings for her. His brother was awful as well.
Will Bailey finally find someone to love her?
Overall I enjoyed this read. All of the characters added a great element to the story, however I really do not care for Bailey’s parents or her stepmonster. I was pulled into all of the drama, be prepared to cry here and there. We do end in a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. This is my first read from this author and she draws you right in with her writing. 1-click and get started today.

Designing Love (The Calderone Family Romance Series Book 3) by Victoria Grant is a great little romance. Caroline and Charles feel the connection, can make the connection, but can’t seem to keep the connection. This is truly a story about opposites. Opposites certainly attract but can they stay together. If you like a sizzling, panting love story this is one for you.

I’ve loved this book from the beginning. I’ve been two books in before receiving this copy of the trilogy. I’m ecstatic as Bryer and Nathan are walking down the aisle as we’re the guests of honor. As the reader, you’re more than beyond happy for the couple but there are evil forces working to tear them apart. This threatens their forever but will they allow this to deter them from moving forward as husband and wife? This book is most definitely unpredictable because we all know what it’s like to be knocked off your feet not only by love but by the others that surround us as well. So, in that sense, this one is really original and realistic. As to not give away any spoilers, I’ll keep the intrigue going by not giving away spoilers. It wouldn’t do me any justice to not recommend this book. Beautiful!

Silas’ fire still burns deep for Audrey and he can’t extinguish it but the real question is whether or not to rekindle the flame or let it die down by leaving well enough alone. Audrey has finally created the life she’s always wanted except life threw her a curve ball, the man she once loved: Silas Vance. The same flame he holds for her, she holds for him but she also holds a secret dear to her heart without losing him again. They’re drawn to one another the closer they are in proximity to one another. Will their worlds collide and they face their demons head on? This is a beautiful read as you can’t help but want these characters to get it together and face their fears to let love win, secrets and all. This is a pleasant read that’s original and entertaining, steamy and romantic. Pick it up and invest in a great story!

Manda Mellett most definitely has a knack for writing the most powerful stories through each and every one of these books. These books stay true to the real world that you can hardly tell that you’re reading a book. They all grip your attention so much so that it should be a movie or few. I love the way Manda Mellett writes because it offers different perspectives and opens your eyes to different outlooks on lives. Great work! In “Turning Wheels,” we meet the guys of the MC and Sophie, a disabled Englishwoman battling inner insecurities and external forces to get her. Frightened, wheelchair bound, Sophie turns to the club to protect her from those out to get her. Wraith, the club’s vice president, is out to show Sophie she’s more than defined by her disability but other than protecting her, he has to help her overcome her past. This is a beautiful book. In the second book, “Drummer’s Beat,” this action-packed book will keep you on the edge of your toes. President of Satan’s Devils, Drummer has been unlucky in love but that is until he meets Sam on the side of the road. He doesn’t believe Sam as she’s on a search to find her biological dad who happens to be a member of his very own club. It’s a race against time as Sam gets abducted into a sex trafficking ring to rescue the girl of his dreams. This one will keep you hooked as the romance is steamy and the action is packed. In the third book, “Slick Running,” we find Ella who used to do favors for the club in her past, found love in the club with Slick but had to leave him behind. When Slick realizes he needs help, he refuses to help her because he’s not ready to forgive. The club owes her and is down to help even Slick who is eager to help as they’re all on a quest to rescue her baby sister from a child grooming ring. This book has it all and it will leave you praying and hoping for the best. I enjoy how Manda Mellett makes every story not only original but true to life. In the fourth book, “Targeting Dart,” Dart wants to pursue a curvaceous black girl but as she’s preoccupied with her sick loved one of a kid, he can only offer his supporting friendship. Dart’s feelings are put to the test when her violent ex but Dart has to take on unexpected responsibilities with her and also within the club. This book tugs on your heart in a lot of ways as you feel for both characters. I enjoyed the tug of war it had on my emotions and was excited about this read! In the final book, “Heart Broken,” we meet Heart who is devastated by his wife’s death as he contemplates ending his life to reunite with his wife. That is until one person reached out to save him by relating to his emotional plight but as months pass, Heart regains the strength to survive through this cop but their love is taboo as far as the club goes. This was a romantic book that makes you believe in life and love. Beautifully written. In each and every book, Manda Mallatt manages to write with intent, such beautiful intent that she captivates her readers. I’ve enjoyed everything she’s written. Great writer! Brava!

Forgotten Chance is the wonderful final book in this series – I have absolutely loved Bryer and Nathan’s story so I was really looking forward to seeing what happened in this final book and I wasn’t disappointed at all. Of course I knew there would be a few surprises in the story and the course of true love isn’t plain sailing for these two! Cash appears more in this story than the last and what a character he is!! I love Ms Wine’s writing style – her stories are so easy to read and I love the characters she creates. I really have loved this series and I would definitely recommend it to others. Forgotten Chance gets 5 stars from me!!

This is a convenient and jam-packed box set of the first five books in the Satan’s Devils MC series from Manda Mellett. When it comes to MC series Manda Mellett is definitely a go to for me and I find myself needing to own these books to enjoy time and time again not just the one and one reads. I love box sets so much for gifting as well. What a perfect way to spread the love for an author and spoil your friends. I will give a snippet review for each of the following books below but you don’t have to wait to read them. I promise you will wanna have these stories floating around in your consciousness for a long time to come.
Turning Wheels ~
This one gives us the story of Sophie and I really enjoyed her character so much! She is a strong woman looking to be a great friend and help her escape her abusive man and the danger while unknowingly putting herself in danger as well. When the friend’s ex discovers it was Sophie who helped him, he will do whatever it takes to find her and get her to bring her friend back. When she is taken to the US to be kept safe we are then introduced to the Satan’s Devils MC. Personally, a favorite part for me! I loved meeting them and seeing how things are going to be set up for the future novels to come. I can’t wait to see who’s story we will get next and what adventures await. These novels are high speed and keep you on the edge of your seat as you read the whole time so prep yourself, find a good drink and curl up with some smexy MC boys and fabulous characters!
Drummer’s Beat ~
Yeah I am a sucker for the main character of this second novel in Mana Mellet’s Satan’s Devils MC Series, Drummer. I think this has to be one of my favorite MC novels that she has written yet. Drummer is a natural leader and meeting him and the other men he strives to protect and love is a whirlwind trip much like a MC ride in itself. I can’t say enough good things about this novel but I also can’t bring myself to give too much of the fabulous story away either. I can say this, you have to get your hands on this MC’s series. It is a wonderful read you won’t want to put down and I can guarantee you will want to read them all as soon as you get yourself addicted to Drummer!
Slick Running ~
Wow, another fabulous novel from Manda Mellett and her fabulous boys of the Satan’s Devils MC. I adore the way these book grab you from the get go and never let go! Slick Running does the same and when I say it grabs you, it chokes the emotions from the depths of your sould as you read the story behind Slick and the man that he is. I like the underlying story line that seemed to pop back up from book one, Turning Wheels. This is the third in the series so I would recommend starting there first so you don’t get lost here a bit. It was a nice twist and addition to the story that I never saw coming. Another fav from this noble has to be Ella. She really stole my heart and attention and I loved reading and discovering who she was right along with Slick. I found myself gripped to the edge of my seat and hanging on for the ride all the way to the end and I devoured this one fast. It was like I was thirsty for more and more and I couldn’t get myself hydrated enough until I reached the end. Of course the hangover from a great novel is only to be eased by the next one and I look forward so much to seeing what is in store for us in, Targeting Dart.
Targeting Dart ~
This book is one crazy wild ride that will have you hanging on for the end like its the last thing on earth. I have to say this is the fourth book of the Satan’s Devils MC series from Manda Mellett and you are definitely going to want to read these guys in order or you will find yourself lost. This MC is very much a family and constantly moving and growing and the stories flow from book to book in a beautiful way that can only be seen when reading them in order. I could not wait to get my hands on this one and boy was I right it was a doozy!
This book will take you on several journeys within the MC. Dart and Alex, and Heart all pull at the heartstrings and make you feel as if you can personally feel the emotions they have as you read. I will say these books do not shy from difficult topics and scenes so expect that, its an MC series and that makes sense. Manda Mellett has a way of writing them and making you digest them with a certain grace that keeps you whole even when you feel like falling apart for the characters. I can’t wait to see what the next book will bring us!
Heart Broken ~
With a title like Heart Broken one is going to expect an emotional read, and Manda Mellett does not disappoint with the fifth book of her Satan’s Devils MC series. Please read these books in order and get to know the MC in the way the author has written them out and order because you will find yourself lost a touch if you don’t and I can assure you that this a series you don’t want to miss a thing of. Heart Broken gives us so much of Heart, and wow he is a character that will make you ride the roller coaster of emotions for sure. I couldn’t decide if I loved or hated Heart in the last book and this one kept the same pattern for most. I keep finding myself wanting to cheer for him regardless of how he makes me feel though, a knack of Manda Mellett’s. I won’t give much more away but I can promise you he is one of those characters that once you meet him you will want to see his story play out. It does look like there is a bit more to come of him and I can’t say I am disappointed, I have some ideas of where that could go but we will see! For now go grab this one today if you have read the others and dive in head first.

Stepbrother by Stacy McWilliams is the first book in the Step Dilemma series. This book is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions that will have you wanting to scream one minute and completely infatuated with the characters the next. This book is a great start to a new series. The love-hate relationship between the characters is brilliant. You can feel the connection between them straight away, and the author does a great job of maintaining that throughout. I am definitely looking forward to the next book in this series and to what further journey the characters are taken on.

Forgotten Chance by Virginia Wine is the third book in the Forgotten Trilogy. You do need to have read the other books in the series first to fully understand what happens in this book. Forgotten Chance is easily the best book out of all three of them. So much seems to happen in such a short space of time, it made it really exciting to read. Nathan and Bryer were absolutely destined to be together but with the twists and turns the author threw in there you really couldn’t be 100% sure what was going to happen. This whole trilogy has been well written with great characters. This was the perfect book to round out the series. If you haven’t already done so I would definitely recommend reading this series.

Bailey and Cooper’s story is full of so much drama and emotion that I wanted to smack them, hug them, heal them, and root for them…all at the same time. This book is full of triggers of emotional and physical abuse. So if that is something that bothers you, I would advise against reading this book. However, if you can endure reading it….this story is worth it!
This book is told from Bailey’s POV and it pulled me in from the first page. A shy girl who just wants to make it through high school is suddenly thrust into a new world when her mom suddenly ups and moves their lives. Bailey’s strained relationship with her mother becomes even more difficult when she is forced to live with her stepbrothers who are doing what they can to make her leave. Cooper is the biggest bully of them all…yet Bailey can’t stop her attraction to him.
This book is told over a time period of years, with the relationship between Baily and Cooper being at the center of it. Their love-hate relationship is an emotional rollercoaster that goes on for years. The book is left unresolved…and I will definitely be checking out the next book when it is released because I need to know what happens. This is the first book that I have read from this author…but it won’t be the last.

This was an easy read about forbidden romance. However, I really didn’t connect to the characters. Bailey was boring and inconsistent, while Cooper was arrogant and frankly quite cruel. The mother and the stepfather were so improbably manipulative too. The plotlines were not believable, there were time jumps in the middle of chapters which were quite confusing, and then the final quarter of the book was extremely rushed. This book just wasn’t for me.

Not so Far by Renee Regent was a great read. The book had me hooked from the very beginning. Silas has to return home to get together with his cousin and sell off their grandfathers property / home. While he is there, he decides to meet up with a friend who currently works with a woman he spent a summer with about 20 years ago. She was always the one who got away and she felt the same about him. I absolutely love second chance romance books and this one was great! Silas doesn’t know if she will even see him. When they meet up, the chemistry is still there. They both have feelings for each other even though there are secrets….soooo many secrets! What will happen when all the secrets have been exposed. Will they be able to see past them and move on once they have the answers? I love the characters in the book! Cannot wait for more from this author.

Designing Love by Victoria Grant is the third book in The Calderone Family Romance series. This is a fun, romantic read about architect Caroline Winters and Charles Calderone VP of his family business, Calderone Industries. When she is hired to design for the Calderone’s will, the two of them be able to work together. I really enjoyed this light romance of opposites. Caroline is the one who work always comes first while Charles is a creative type. The story is nicely written and I enjoyed the characters. I had not read other books in this series diving in the middle of the series, but the good news is these can be enjoyed as a standalone. I look forward to catching more of the books in the series and more from this author.

Not So Far (Love Grows 3) by Renee Regent is the third book in this series, it follows Silas and Audrey after fate has them reuniting after 18 years. Both of their lives have changed during this time but neither of them has ever forgotten the time they spent together. However, will the secrets that they both keep be too much for either of them to accept? Or will the truth set everyone free? This is a lovely second chance romance novel, both main characters are deserving of a second chance. This is the first book I have read by this author, but I will certainly be going back to read the previous books in the series.

Satan’s Devils MC Boxset 1 Books 1-5: Brothers protecting their own by Manda Mellett is an anthology of exciting and fast paced biker romance novels.
Turning Wheels tells the story of Wraith, the clubs VP, and Sophie, a young English lady under the protection of the MC. Sophie is the victim of a tragic incident where she is left with life changing injuries but when it seems that the orchestrator of this crime is after her again, Sophie is whisked away to Tucson and thrust into a brand new world. The Satan’s Devils MC takes crimes against women seriously and when another threat to Sophie comes knocking at the clubs door, they do all it takes to protect her at great cost to themselves. This is an excellent introduction into the world of the MC and I couldn’t wait to start the second one! Fans of Son’s of Anarchy will love this series.
Drummer’s Beat is the second book in this series and follows the Sam, a young woman who shows up at the club with a big announcement, and Drummer, the Clubs President. Initially hesitant to let Sam near the club the Prez changes his mind and then when a threat is made to her safety, they club have no choice but to take steps to protect one of their own, even if it means working with the enemy. These stories are quite hard hitting and although they show the bikers as strong, protective alphas the women in these books are also strong, determined and brave. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters more in this book.
Slick Running is Slick and Ella’s story. Ella was first introduced in book 1 when she done a massive favour to the club at great personal risk, she didn’t walk away unscathed which also meant leaving on bad terms with Slick. However, when Ella needs help with a family issue the club are more than willing to step up and help her. Especially when it turns out that there is a child grooming ring on their doorstep. The club have to fight to clean up their city while also dealing with a tragic situation happening on their own doorstep. This book was very emotional as you develop a bond with the characters over the first two books.
Targeting Dart is the tale of Dart, a confirmed bachelor and Alex, a young mum who is down on her luck and in need of a job. When Alex starts to dance at the clubs strip club no one thinks she will fit in however her talent and determination have the customers shouting for more. Unfortunately, Alex is in danger from her past and as much as Dart tries to fight it he can’t let her go. This story was slightly different from the others as a lot of the action takes place in a different chapter of the club, I am really looking forward to getting to know more about the San Diego MC.
Heart Broken is Heart and Marc’s story. Heart is devastated after the death of his wife Crystal, he cant stand to be around his brothers or his daughter, Amy. After an incident at Satan’s Angels, the strip bar owned by the club, Heart is given the option of leaving in bad standing or going Ronin, out on his own for 6 months with no affiliation with the club until her turns his life around. He choses the latter. During this time he gets to know the detective who has been investigating his wife’s death but he doesn’t expect to ever be able to have feelings for another woman again, especially a cop! The Satan’s Devils MC is a fantastic series. Each book gives you more insight into the dynamics of the club and I cannot wait to keep reading the rest of the books in this series.

Night Justice is the first book in the Chicago Vigilantes series. It leaves things in a bit of a cliffhanger so be prepared for that.
I liked this book a lot. The characters are well written. I appreciated the female lead, Orla. Her character is strong, yet feminine, very well balanced. I also loved that the male lead is an anti-hero. The fact that he is attracted to Orla because she’s strong and not because she needs to be “saved” is a plus too.
This story has romance, of course, but it is also full of intrigue and danger as Orla and her masked vigilante try to keep the city safe from a new drug. Overall, a great read.

This is my first book by this author, I enjoyed it from beginning to end. It is a romance story that is written with heart and soul. This author’s attention to details made me feel as if I was part of the story. I enjoyed being pulled in right from the beginning and it kept me turning pages. This is a story about love and hate. From the moment Bailey meets Cooper her attraction to him is off the charts. Problem is she can’t stand him. But her biggest problem is that her mother is now engaged to Cooper’s father. Is Cooper out of bounds for her now? This is where the story was hard to put down. They are great characters that I had no problem connecting with. They took me on an emotional roller coaster which I enjoyed every minute of. I highly recommend this book. You don’t want to miss the chemistry between these two for sure.

Stepbrother (Step Dilemma Series Book 1) By Stacy McWilliams 5 out of 5 stars
The story Stepbrother (Step Dilemma Series Book 1) by Stacy McWilliams is a book that had me hooked. It pulled me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. The story is one of love and hate, passion and desire, disappointment, and romance. The characters of Bailey and Cooper are both interesting and at times hard to understand the reasons for their actions. Bailey is a character that I had a lot of empathy for. Her life has been turned upside down and things never seem to quite work out for her. She is intelligent and strong. She also is kind and thoughtful to those she cares about. Cooper is a character that I never was sure of what his motives were or if he had a method to his madness. While there are moments that I had empathy for him there are others that I didn’t know what to think and was left with my mouth open at the things he did. What does the future hold for Bailey and Cooper? Read this book to find out. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. There are additional characters that interact with Bailey and Cooper. Some of them I had a hard time liking while others grew to care about just like I did Bailey. This is a book that includes forbidden feelings and there are heartbreaking moments as well. The author does a wonderful job of making the characters and story come alive. I would recommend reading it.
