Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cYou weren\u2019t just my first love, you were my once in a lifetime.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

4.5 stars<\/b><\/p>\n

As a huge fan of both Mia Sheridan, and a second-chance-romance, this book totally put me in my happy place and was full of all of the chemistry, anticipation, passion and swoon that I was hoping for. Add in an intense and exciting survival story, and I was completely hooked. This is an emotional and gripping story of reconnected love as two people find their way back to each other in harrowing circumstances, and OMG, I loved it!<\/p>\n

Audra and Dane met as teenagers, fell in love and married young. Their marriage was devastatingly short, and they were torn apart just over a year after they wed. Now it\u2019s seven years later, and business brings them back into each other\u2019s lives. But when they see each other again, there is so much more than business between them.<\/p>\n

The first meeting between these two actually takes a little while to come about in the book, so by the time it happens, I was desperate for it! Up to this point, the book is written in Audra\u2019s POV, with flashbacks to their past from both of their perspectives. Once they are reunited, the POV splits and we get to see just how much of an effect they have on each other, and it\u2019s every bit as spine-tingling as I was hoping.<\/p>\n

The magnetism I felt toward Audra seemed rooted to my bones. Threaded to the fabric of who I was. I responded to her on some primal level, and I had from the first moment I\u2019d laid eyes on her.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OMG, the chemistry! The tension! The flat out longing that these two so clearly felt for each other just drips off the page (or in this case, the audiobook). I could feel<\/i> it, and my heart broke at all that they had lost, but at the same time the sense of anticipation just waiting for them to find their way back to each other was epic!<\/p>\n

She was still so fucking desirable to me. And I hated it because she wasn\u2019t mine anymore. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s intense and full of feels. But their reunion twists terrifyingly off course when Dane offers to fly Audra home to Colorado and their plane crashes into the snowy mountains. Alone on a mountainside in the blistering cold with few resources, it\u2019s all about survival, and as they fight for their very lives, they will need to open up and trust each other in a way that they struggled with before. And in doing so, they may just find the second chance they\u2019ve both secretly longed for.<\/p>\n

This was such a great read. Exciting and suspenseful, but also incredibly emotional and breathtakingly romantic. The build up for the love story is so well done, and I was completely invested in Dane and Audra\u2019s story. And then from the moment that plane goes down, the intensity is kicked up a notch as not only are they in a horrifying, life-threatening situation, but they\u2019re also stripped completely bare and finally in a place where they can open up about their feelings and all the grief of the past, and it\u2019s an incredibly emotional read. I had tears in my eyes more than once as they drop their walls and finally deal with everything that they\u2019ve been through, and it\u2019s heartwrenching and all so beautifully written.<\/p>\n

And the romance! OMG, the romance was gorgeous! I could feel<\/i> the love that Dane and Audra had for each other, and you just know that these two souls belong together. They have issues they need to work through, and their situation is far from normal, but their slip back into a relationship was absolutely effortless as they clung to each other for support and gave themselves over to all that they were feeling for each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love you \u2026 In this lifetime and in any that follow, I will always love you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

*swoon* \u2026 *sniff* \u2026 *swoon again*<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a beautifully written story, and I couldn\u2019t stop listening as it made me swoon and cry and swoon some more. I was honestly fearful at how it was all going to turn out, and all of those emotions had my heart was pounding through the majority of the book, but it all ends in a great place with epilogue had me crying once again \u2013 but this time happy tears. It\u2019s another wonderful read by Mia, and I loved it.<\/p>\n

4.5 stars.<\/p>\n
