Blurb

I lost a huge piece of myself the day my husband was killed in action.
In the months that followed, I felt like my grief would swallow me whole.
My only solace was my daughter, whose bright light guided me through the darkest of times.

I never wanted to meet someone else.
I vowed to never fall in love again, especially with a marine.

It was supposed to be no strings attached and for a while it was.
But Weston Reeves’s grumpy soul called to my tortured one.
Maybe it was the midnight rides on his bike or the way that only I could make him smile.
He lit me up, set my body afire, and for the first time in five years made me feel alive.

Our relationship was probably the worst gamble I’d ever taken.
But my stupid, wild heart needed him, even if our love was destined to burn me to ashes.

Review

5 stars!

Wow, what a gorgeous story! Amie Knight has taken us back to her Hearts series with an emotional, sweet, fun, sexy and gorgeously romantic love story between two people who lost everything, and unexpectedly get a second chance at love.

This book is loosely connected to book #2 in the Hearts series, A Steel Heart. In that book we met Holden, a soldier who struggled with the death of his best friend while they were both on deployment. In a beautiful tie-in, Emily is the widow of Holden’s best friend, Andrew. And while Holden and Miranda both feature in this book, you can read this as a standalone.

Emily’s world was shattered when her husband was killed in action. But she held herself together for the sake of their daughter, Parker. Years later, and their lives are mostly solitary, with only each other to lean on, but they’ve packed themselves up and moved to a small town near Holden and Miranda, and are busily settling in to their new life. And it’s while embracing her new life that Emily is on a girl’s night out, and shares a sizzling connection with a stranger at a bar. That connection turns into a blisteringly hot one-night-stand which is completely out of character, but which absolutely rocks her world. Weston is an ex-marine who is grieving his own loss. Like Emily, his life is pretty isolated, and limited to one-off hook-ups, but his night with Emily turns out to be more than he was ever expecting.

Despite the heaviness of Weston and Emily’s losses, and the grief that they are both still dealing with, there’s a fantastic sense of fun to this book. The attraction between them is intense, but neither of them expect it – or particularly want it – so we get this fabulous dynamic that is so entertaining. The chemistry between them is absolutely electric and it influences everything between them. The snark and banter is fantastic, they bicker and fight, they tease and flirt, and the sexy time is seriously hot! And when Weston realises just how deep he’s gotten, it’s all on.

I’d figure it out. We’d figure it out together because there was no way in hell that I could stay away from her any longer. I was done with that bullshit. I was done pretending that she wasn’t mine.

Oh Weston *dreamy sigh*. He’s a fantastic romantic hero who reminded me a bit of a Kristen Ashley hero – and that’s always a good thing. He’s a motorcycle riding alpha who says things how it is, and isn’t afraid to push when it comes to getting what he wants. But he’s a big softie underneath, a wonderful combination of determination and swoony romance, and God, I loved him!

“I didn’t plan on this. I didn’t plan on you. But I’m damn sure not giving you up.”

This is such a great story. I loved the back and forth between these two, and while that can lead to frustration in other books, here it worked because the chemistry is so freaking good! I could feel everything that they were feeling, and I loved being swept up with them. I could also empathise with both of them. We see the depth of their grief, and their fear of opening their hearts to someone again, and watching them work hard to overcome it and find the strength to put themselves out there all over again is a beautiful journey.

“She makes me want to try again … She makes me want to live.”

He was undoing me, breaking me down, little by little, until he owned every bit of my soul and I was letting him because I was helpless against it.
I was done fighting this thing between us, I was ready to burn with him.

There is some drama, but it’s understandable, and it’s just a matter of watching them work through it to get to the beautiful HEA that had me grinning like a fool.

I loved this book so much. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it made me swoon so hard. Such a great read.

5 stars!
