This was by no means an easy read. The characters Callum and Lilith were not fully fleshed out and the cadance of the prose was off beat adding to the general sense of confusion as the plot became difficult to follow. Nice concept but not fully developed.
It was unfortunately just one cliche after the other and extremely foreseeable. The characters did not draw me in at all. I especially did not like Callum. He seemed like a very weak person, irresponsible, naive, ignorant and not charming at all. I did not understand the problem of their relationship. It was too superficial and strained. I know there needs to be a problem but theirs just missed the goal. It surely was meant to add depth and tension to the story, but it didn’t. It simply did not make any sense at all.
Wow, this one wasn’t what I was expecting. That’s not a bad thing. This book is an emotional roller coaster. The twists in this book are so surprising. The the main characters drew me in and their situation is a conundrum. Grab the tissue as you head to your favorite reading spot!
I received an ARC and chose to give my honest review.
Callum had two great loves, his best friend Lilith and his wife Daphne. When Callum and Daphne were going through a rough time it was Lilith he ran to. They rekindled their love but she made him go back to Daphne. Then she disappeared only to resurface four years later. He is still in love with both of them.
This is a contemporary romance filled with emotional drama. It is the most emotionally charged book that I have read this year and had me in tears. The characters are all in such unthinkably difficult positions. And yet the book is filled with such love and caring. But in love triangles one or more there is often are the losers and with such likeable characters you want them all to find true happiness. It is extremely well written and the flashbacks add a great deal to the storyline. It is rare that a book touches me so deeply. It is a must read if you love romance at all.
I am voluntarily writing this review for this book I received through arc.
Callum couldn’t believe that Lilith had just saying she loved him and goodbye. Callum’s mom was talking to Lilith mom and asking why she never told him. Lilith mom told her that because he had gotten back with his old flame and she didn’t want to bother him because he looked so happy. Callum over hears this and can’t believe he has a daughter Lilith didn’t tell him about. Callum was still married but he told her that he had seen Lilith again and they had a daughter. Callum assured Daphne that he was going nowhere. Many twists and turn and did not see that ending coming.
This heartbreaking romance of second chance love is heartwarming.
NO KNIGHTS HERE!!!
OMG! Wow, talk about one heartbreaking and gut wrenching tales. Grab some tissue cause man are you gonna need it. A whirlwind of emotions and events that pull your heartstrings tightly. Jennifer didn’t cut any slack. Throwing caution to the wind. Her no holds barred, no pulling punches and take no prisoners attitude really hit hard. All the drama, uncertainty, fear, mystery and suspense increases while tension spirals. Twists and turns abound with unexpected circumstances that make for one interesting experience. The characters and scenes are written with such realism it really pulls this little guy together perfectly. Jennifer did an amazing job bringing this read to life. Great job Jennifer, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.
