Star Rating : 3.5/5 Stars

POV : Dual

Cliffhanger : No

Hero : Braden. He was A decent hero to me. I won't say he was very JP but he was possessive to some extent and I like the way he didn't give up on Willow once he came back.

Heroine : Willow. She was the sassy heroine who had abandonment issues with her being in a foster care system. She trusted Brayden to stay with her but he gave up on her and left her too so it was tough for her to move on from that.

Pace of the story : Slow

Angst Rating : 5/10

Heat Rating : 6/10

Triggers Involved : Past Trauma ( nothing major)

Plot Summary :
Braden and Willow were together for a year and then all of a sudden Braden upped and left willow to continue with his life. It wasn't until later he realised how much he had hurt willow. But now he was back and he knew that she would be here too ,so this was his chance to take back the woman whom he had always loved.

Being changed from one foster home to another , Willow had deep abandonment issues. When Braden left her , it left deep scars on her even though she never told him that. Now he was back in her life and was trying to persuade her again. But this time won't be that easy. She might be willing to spend time with him but that does not mean he is going to get her heart this time.

Overall Opinion :
The book was good for me. It was a one time read because of some of the cliche storyline parts. The hero sleeps with everyone even though he was the one who left and the Heroine didn't sleep with anyone else. It was a typical second chance Romance and I did like it because it was written amazingly.

The hero was willing to understand her issues and help her out through them and I loved that in this book! A must read for all the second chance Romance lovers out there!

Final Verdict :
A good one time read for me.
Had a bit of cliche themes.
The hero was amazing and he was the one thing who kept me interested in this book!
