“You’re the love of my life, Jules,” he murmured. “You are my life.” I kissed him, hoping he understood just how much I loved him. 

Jenna Hartley has done it again, folks. She has SLAYED with another brilliant, unique romance. I was truly not prepared for how much I needed to read this story. It’s about overcoming loss and moving forward with your life. It’s about learning to love again and letting your past go. Don’t you just love a good second chance romance? That’s what I would consider this book. It’s a chance for both of our leads to find love again. It’s so beautiful.

Juliana and Harrison are HOT. I mean, I was reading this at work and had to put the book down for a bit because it was so steamy. Holy crap Harrison is delicious. Ugh. Definitely one of my favorite book boyfriends. He’s the perfect package. He’s thoughtful and kind, but his best quality? Patience. He is gentle with Juliana while she heals from her past and gives her the time and space she needs to move on with him. It’s remarkable and not a quality you often find in men. Juliana has the most character growth out of either of them during this novel. Harrison grows too, but not as much as her. She has been living in the past for years, grieving and mourning the life she could have had. And then she meets Harrison. It’s like all the lights suddenly turn on and she’s finally able to see where she is now. She’s able to live in the present. She’s able to start making steps towards taking back her life again. It’s magic.

Of course this couple isn’t without their flaws and it’s important to note that though they may be small, they are impactful. Juliana has to face some really ugly stuff during this novel but nothing compared to what Harrison faces at the end. I won’t go into detail but just keep in mind that this romance is not without its drama. It took me for a RIDE. I was living for this story. Juliana’s past is tragic and fascinating. She grows so much throughout this story on her own and with Harrison. This couple is GOALS. I am sooo ready to read Jenna’s next book in this series. Love love love everything about this world!! 5 stars!! 

“You are my breath, my heart, my reason for living.”
