Now Mason Cutler’s personal mission is to get plenty of sun, surf, and no-strings romance in his favorite laid-back Florida beach town before shipping out.

All Kiran dared hope for was a chance to heal after a tragic accident and a devastating loss. Mason’s freewheeling energy and head-on courage warms her scarred body and soul—and ignites her heart. But with their lives going in different directions, the only commitment they can make is a pact to meet again. Can what they feel survive Mason’s military duty, and Kiran’s second chance to restart her life? And can a desire sparked one summer night be enough for forever?

BOOK REVIEW: MK Schiller
This book is about love through healing each other through the tragic events of their lives.
Karian lives the life of a recluse until she must decide about her life and future, to do this she decides to return to her hometown of Jasper Florida for a holiday of eight days. Staying in a hotel that would be better suited in times gone by. On her arrival, she meets the handsome Mason Cutler.
Quickly as Mason helps Kiran heal from her past and accept that she truly is an amazing woman the two falls madly in love but knowing that Kiran is off to College to become an author and Mason is off to become a marine they make a pack to return to the same hotel 5 years in the future on the same day.
During the five years Kiran lives her life as she promised Mason and arrives to the day five years at the hotel excited to see Mason once again the first man she ever loved and will ever love, only to find a Letter from Mason saying that he has met the woman of his dreams and that their little pack was silly. But all is not what it seems.
Kiran is heartbroken but notices there is an address on the letter and decides to track Mason down, only to meet his sister Dana who she thinks is his girlfriend, while Dana thinks Kiran is there for the cowmanship position. What Kiran does not know is that tragedy has struck Mason and he has lost his sight, this is the real reason he turned her away he did not want to be a burden on her.
Kiran with the help of Dana decides to stay and be Mason’s companion while Dana explores Antarctica for a few months.
Kiran is strong willed and will not allow Mason to push her away she still loves him and will be happy to just be his friend and help him heal while Dana is away. Mason is angry and stubborn determined that Kiran should live her life without him and will not admit to himself or Kiran that he still loves her and that she is the only one for him. Mason still at the end does not see what everyone else see’s and lets Kiran go once again.
This story does have a very happy ending for the both but I won’t give away how.
I found this book to be very entertaining, with times you wanting to cry along with both, times where you just want to kick Mason’s ass or just cheer for each together when they face all the challenges together.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone looking for something different from the typical fluffy romance, yes there is that but it is excellently written and a credit to the author on her ability to bring their story to life. There was not a time where I though gee this story is dragging if anything I wanted to do nothing but keep reading I was enjoying it that much.
I would love to read more from this author and see what amazing worlds she can create.

READ THIS BOOK!!!!!
No one, and I mean NO ONE can write love like M.K. Her brand of “love” isn’t the shallow, superficial kind. Nope. M.K. writes true-blue, heart-squeezing, soul-deep love that will bring tears to your eyes. (At least it did to mine. No joke, I cried, like, four times during this book)
I liked that the book starts where most other romances end, with the guy and the girl in blissful euphoria because they have each other and that’s all they need. I knew the “other shoe” was going to drop at some point, and knowing M.K.’s work like I do, I just knew it was going to be worth reading.
And it SO was.
I never expected Kiran and Mason to reunite in the way they did. It was definitely a challenge for them to find their way back to each other, and the book confronts some heavy issues along the way.
But the LOVE. My gosh. Words can’t describe how absolutely wonderful this whole book was, from Kiran’s quirky inner monologues to the depths of Mason’s devotion. This is one of those books that I will always remember reading and reinforces why I will read ANYTHING written by M.K.!
