4.5 stars

This is a beautiful, heartfelt love story that is full of feels, asking the question – would you embrace new love, knowing it could never last?

Julia has just received the devastating news that her heart is failing, and she only has a very limited time left before it fails completely. While the news is sinking, she meets a gorgeous French man in a bar and figures that one night of anonymous passion is just what she needs to momentarily take her mind off it all. So no names, no questions and no promises, she shares an unforgettable night, and in the morning, she leaves.

But fate has other plans when Julia runs into her beautiful stranger again… and again… and their one night of no strings turns into a deeper connection than she could ever have imagined.

I’m dying, but somehow you are this magical being that’s manifested into my life just when I thought it was over.

Henri the Frenchman is pretty much perfect. He’s gorgeous, intelligent and caring, sexy as all hell, and he wears his heart on his sleeve for Julia. The man holds nothing back physically or emotionally, and I adored him! It’s impossible not to fall for him, which I did right alongside Julia, and watching the two of them together is passionate, sweet, and so incredibly beautiful. And the whole thing is made more intense and emotional knowing what is to come, making the whole situation absolutely heartwrenching.

My heart has just sunk. Whatever this is, and believe me I know it’s epic, it can’t ever truly be anything. I have nothing to promise and nothing to give. Anything less than that would be a travesty for a man as exceptional as this one.

Throughout Julia’s journey, we watch her look back on her life and realise how safe, and small it has been, how she’s never taken big chances or stepped outside of her little box. And as she comes to terms with her prognosis, I loved watching her finally find the courage to live, especially because it results in such a beautiful love story.

“I’m so glad I met you,” I whisper into the shadowy haze.
His arms tighten a notch. “I’m never letting you go.”

The ending of the story brings the feels, as expected, and I read with tears rolling down my face. But oh, what a beautiful story, with some very important messages about living for the moment and embracing life’s opportunities

Right now, I feel it.
Life.
I can feel what living is. It’s in one moment to the next. One breath that leads to another. One touch, one sigh, one glance, creating a perfect moment that is imprinted forever.

I admit, I went looking for spoilers before I read this book so that I could prepare myself for what was going to happen (please don’t judge). If you want to know, here you go – It’s a happy ending. There’s no way I would have read it otherwise! .

A beautifully written story. I’m keen to read more from this author, and am looking forward to reading Julia’s sister, Liv’s book next.

4.5 stars.
