Complicated Love (A Moment In Time Novel)
By kristinmayer
Complicated Love is the second novel in, A Moment In Time series. I found that this story was easy to get lost in, which made it hard to put down. I loved how the author perfectly paired Kaysen and Wynter. They start off as two broken souls. Their friendship and bond gets stronger over time. They help each other learn to trust and love without fearing the “What If’s?”. Kaysen and Wynter find the HEA that they both deserve.
I loved reading both books, Unexpected Love and Complicated Love in this series. I hope others enjoy it as much as I did.
I really enjoyed getting to know both Kaysen and Wynter, the best friends of Lucian and Addilyn from Unexpected Love, the first of the A Moment in Time novels. I found both Wynter and Kaysen intriguing and interesting characters in the first novel, but wow, do they come alive and real in Complicated Love, their story!
Kaysen lost his beloved wife and unborn child when she committed suicide. Wynter had to give up her newborn at the bage 19 after being completely betrayed by her HS sweetheart and her own family. Both carry so much guilt, scars and baggage that you think at first that there’s no real hope for either outside of friends with benefits. Basically that’s what they’ve been for the past 5 years, but now Kaysen is ready for more with Wynter. It’s a struggle and constant work, but will they get their chance at a HEA after her child goes through a horrible tragedy and the ex comes a-calling??
Kristin Mayer is one of my go-to authors and I am so in love with her newest book! I was excited for Complicated Love every since we met Wynter and Kaysen in Unexpected Love – and their story did not disappoint! I know this will be a go-to book for me time and time again! FIVE STARS!!
Complicated Love by Kristin Mayer was a story not only about love, but of friendship, family, second chances and hope. Two people who were lost and broken find in each other what they never expected to have ever again. I got lost in Kaysen and Wynter’s story from start to finish.
Kaysen and Wynter has a no-strings attached relationship for years. It worked for them, but suddenly, what they shared had become so much more. Could they learn to let someone in again? I loved Kaysen so much. Though he had been devastated in the most horrible way, he was not afraid about what he felt for Wynter. He was strong, determined and caring. He would do anything for her. It was harder for Wynter, but she knew she did not want to live a life without Kaysen in it in some way or other. She always wanted to be in control but was caring and honest.
Complicated Love by Kristin Mayer was emotional, touching and heartwarming. I loved seeing Kaysen and Wynter navigate what they feel for each other and whatever life throws at them. Though this is part of a series and is better enjoyed read in order, it can be read as a standalone as well. Each story is about a different interconnected couple.

Happy reading!
WOW! WOW! WOW!! Kristin Mayer did Outstanding with COMPLICATED LOVE!!
So BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN with Epic Feels that had you melting your Heart & then Some!! A MUST READ BOOK!!!
I devoured this book! My heart was completely in this book. I laughed, I swooned and I cried so hard. The title is perfect for this book and so is the cover. Exactly how I picture Kaysen and Wynter. My heart truly broke for Wynter. I can’t imagine having your whole world rocked and taken away, only to find angels that will help you out and change your world. Wynter was young but had a plan. It didn’t exactly go as planned. She had to start over and give her daughter a loving home. She worked her butt off to get where she is. The problem with her is that her heart is closed off and honestly I don’t blame her. She got burned badly. Kaysen is a remarkable man. He has made a name for himself and has a very successful business making a crap ton of money. His world was rocked as well and has no desire to get close to a woman again. Him and Wynter have been having fun for 5 years but it comes time when he wants more and Wynter freaks a bit. There’s things she hasn’t told him. Kaysen is a gem. He takes everything given to him and makes Wynter feel loved. He’s by her side in the good and bad times. The past has a way of creeping up and changing things. Then tragedy hits and I lost it. I did not seeing this coming at all and it destroyed me. Wynter and Kaysen are thrown into a world they never saw coming but handle it very well. Yes things are stressed but they persevere and make it work. This book was beautifully written and has heartfelt characters you can’t help but love. It also shows what can happen when greed takes over your life and you don’t change. It’s sad what happened but he left happen. Wynter and Kaysen get their sweet happy ending which I loved so much! This book was great!!
Love gets complicated when two half hearts start to become one whole. Mayer delivers a story full of angst, ripe with temptation and some heartfelt emotion. Complicated Love lives up to it’s title, but it left me wishing for just a bit more.
OMG Kaysen and Wynter! They both had so much heartbreak in their lives and I loved how we got to see them overcome their pasts together. Their story had me up all night I couldn’t stop reading it! I love this series and I can’t wait to see what comes next!
This was a good read. There are some emotional moments but there were also some parts were slow. I’m glad that after all that happened in Kaysen and Wynter’s past that they worked beyond it and got their HEA.
Wynter and Kaysen are finding their way together. At the beginning it was just about fun and not a relationship. Wynter has a hidden past that she’s held on for a long time. Wynter and Kaysen never really talked about anything in their lives, but things start to come out and change. What wynter was so worried about was being alone and no one would ever love her. Kaysen proves over and over that he loves everything about her and trust is won at the end. Super sweet story.
I LOVE this book!! It was heartbreaking but in the end, turned out like a fairy tale! Soooo glad Wynter and Kaysen got their happily ever after together!!
This one was heartbreaking yet uplifting. Wynter is a tough woman. She had to grow up and make some life altering decisions all on her own, while only being a teen. She’s now successful and has people in her corner, but deals with a lot of baggage. Being with Kaysen is perfect because he’s just like Wynter, but he and Wynter’s biggest sacrifice help her to let go of her past and embrace what the future holds. Life isn’t always easy, but when you have it all it is worth some sacrifice. I did predict some of this, but I still really enjoyed this story.
Complicated Love is book 2 in the Moment in Time series by Kristin Mayer. This is Wynter and Kaysen’s story and is an emotional read that will hook you from the first page. These two have such troubled past and life throws some tragic obstacles their way. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
This book brings out so many feelings and emotions you feel like your going through the same problems they are. I was drawn in to this story and devoured it. There were many challenges facing the characters but the story was done perfectly. I loved it.
Kaysen and Wynter’s story was beautiful. An emotional ride for two broken souls who did not trust in love. Thank goodness these two found each other and held on. Loved Wynter’ and Kaysen’s relationship with Anne Marie. Kaysen’s acceptance and love for this relationship was gorgeous. Love, love, loved it!!
I am crying as I find the words to write this review. Complicated Love shows how hard life can be but is worth fighting for when you love them with all your heart. Wynter and Kaysen are in a friend with benefits relationship even if Kaysen is Wynter’s boss. They’ve been best friends, work together and lovers for the past five years. Kaysen is ready for more but he understands Wynter’s not ready for the commitment he wants.
Wynter’s past hurt her and left her to make life changing decisions at a young age. The people she relied on back then have all turned their back on her. Well, she
decided long ago and has lived with it for the past nine years.
Kaysen had his own heart shattered by the wife he thought would be his happily ever after. Wynter is different and he wants to show her that he will be by her side if she lets him. But can he handle all the skeletons and obstacles that come in their path? Is he ready to fight for Wynter and all that comes with her?
Beautifully written. This author has a way of putting a huge smile on my face and then sobbing uncontrollably in the next page. Grab those tissues and pillow to hug as you become a part of this world. Even with all the emotion that Complicated Love will pull from you, you can’t help but enjoy the ride.
Complicated Love is the second book in Moment in Time by Kristin Mayer. I read the first book and loved it. I was excited to read Kaysen and Wynter’s story. Kristin in no way disappointed with this story either.
Both Kaysen and Wynter are a bit broken in the love department. Wynter was abandoned during one of the hardest times in a woman’s life and Kaysen lost a woman during a very similar time. They agree to a ‘no strings’ situation but after time that is no longer enough.
Both fear they are not worth love again though…can they over come their fears and embrace the love they have for each other.
This book will take you on an incredible emotional roller coaster so be sure to hang on.
I would recommend this book to anyone.
Drama, mystery, loss, major secrets that comes to light in soul shattering way, healing through the help of love and support, sweet nine year old girl that has her life turned upside down, love and an HEA are just some of the things you will love about this story. It is so well written that you can’t possibly put it down once you start it. A must read story!
Yes, I love Kristin Mayer’s books and this book was just as good as I expected. A no-string relationship with your boss what could possible go wrong? Or maybe it could go right instead. A “complicated” love story with plenty of emotional feels to make you root for the HEA they both deserve.
I think I seriously have a fan crush on Kristin Mayer. She writes mature, compelling, thoughtful romances, with great steam, but not all the silly drama. Kaysen and Wynter are so well written, had intense chemistry, and work through all life throws at their relationship with maturity and common sense. I love that!! This book ticked all my boxes and then some. Great read.
