Blurb

We fell in love on a beach, got married in paradise, and I carried her off into the sunset. It should have been perfect, but saying “I do” doesn’t guarantee a happily-ever- after.

Two years later, I barely recognize either of us behind the walls we’ve built.

It’s time to bring it full circle. Back to a tropical paradise. Back to find out if we can still make this work.

I’m not willing to give her up, but to save us, I have to risk everything.

Two damaged people.

Countless secrets.

The fight of our lives.

We might be broken, but we’re not done.

Review

Sexy, intense, emotional and surprising. Wow, Meghan March! What a read!

4.5 stars!

Once again Meghan March has taken me on a wonderfully intense ride that had me mesmerised from start to finish. Heartbreaking, sweet, sexy and romantic, this book has all the feels, but it’s an unexpected journey so please don’t go looking for details, just dive in and experience it without any expectations. You won’t be sorry!

I love the concept for this story. Rather than your ordinary ‘boy meets girl’ story, this time we are getting the story of a couple who met, fell in love and married in a whirlwind romance and who now, two years later, are still very much in love, but who have let their marriage fall apart.

How did we get here? Once upon a time, Dane and I were happy. We were in love.
In fairy tales, the wedding is always followed by
and they lived happily ever after. In real life, I do just means the real work begins.

After two years of marriage they are pretty much living separate lives, so Dane and Kat take a tropical holiday together in the hopes of sorting through their issues, rekindling all that they have lost and finding their way forward together.

Right from the very beginning my heart ached for these two characters. The story is written in dual POV so we can see that they are both suffering, that they are lost and unsure of how to fix their problems. Their marriage has been overtaken by grief, pain and secrets, but there’s this sense of hope that they’re going to work it out, and I was pulling them from the very beginning.

“We’re right here. We might be drifting, but we’re not done yet.”

Their time away is intense and heart-wrenching, but there are moments of lightness, glimpses of the happiness that they had (and could still have), and of course there is steamy hot passion. And all of it is full of emotion as everything is finally laid on the table. It’s captivating and unexpected, and I was glued to my kindle as it all played out.

And throughout the book we are given delicious little glimpses of their life together – from their first meeting, to the highs and lows that have bought them to where they are now – and I loved that we got to see those special moments because it adds to much depth to what they are going through in the present.

“We only get one ride, Kate, and I think you’re meant to be part of mine. Say yes, and I promise you won’t regret it.”

I love Dane and Kat! Both of them are incredibly strong and stubborn, but they have been through a lot and their vulnerabilities are shown beautifully – both in the past and the present. And even though they have lost their way, their love for each other shines through every encounter, and I loved watching them put their hearts out there to find that again.

“You want this? You want us? You want everything I’m going to give you?”
“Yes.” …
“Tell me. Tell me this is forever, Kat. Always and fucking forever.”
“Yes, always and forever.”

Meghan March is an auto-buy author for me, and this book is a great example of why. Sexy, intense, emotional and romantic, her books never fail to suck me in, and I love how she doesn’t always take the predictable route when it comes to her storytelling. It keeps her books fresh, and her stories are always ones that I am keen to dive into.

I loved this one! 4.5 stars.
