Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

5 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been so long since I sat down and read a book in one day, but that\u2019s exactly what I did with this one. I\u2019ve been busting to get my hands on it, and once I started, I could not put it down. An emotional and angsty second-chance romance that had me all up in my feels, this is such a great read!<\/p>\n

This is the third book in the Dreams<\/i> series. The books are interconnected, but you could read this as a standalone. It\u2019s set in a small town where, years ago, the lives of six people were changed forever following a tragic car accident. Brock and Everleigh were high school sweethearts who were living the dream \u2013 happy, together, and very much in love. They were both in the car when it crashed, and the fallout brutally tore them apart. It\u2019s now nine years later and Everleigh returns to her home town for the first time since she ran away all those years ago, and when she and Brock come face to face, they are forced to confront their past once and for all.<\/p>\n

OMG, I love a second-chance-romance, and I\u2019ve been excited for this one since the very first book in the series. We\u2019ve seen Brock, who runs the local mechanic garage and is a grumpy, closed-off single Dad who keeps to himself. I do love me a broody hero, and I knew the emotion in this book would be good, and I was so right! OMG, the feels! When Brody and Everleigh run into each other again, the intensity is wild. There\u2019s so much anger between them, and they lash out wildly at each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate that I loved you for as long as I did.\u201d The pain of her words makes my head feel like it\u2019s exploded. \u201cI hate I loved you at all.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is SO much emotion between these two. Every encounter that they have is just sizzling with chemistry and intensity. They\u2019re angry and they\u2019re still so hurt, but there\u2019s a wild passion there that is undeniable. They\u2019ve never moved on from each other, and all of their pain conceals just how much they still love each other, and I was revelling in every little moment of their grief and hate-filled fighting, knowing that it\u2019s building to something epic. And when the moment comes, gah! It was everything I wanted it to be!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s never been anyone but you. It will never be anyone but you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s exactly the line that all second-chance-romance junkies, such as myself, love to read! And with that realisation, and the baring of souls, there\u2019s a shift between these two and we get to watch them slowly rebuild as they learn to trust and open up to each other again, and all of those long-buried feelings come out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never, ever loved anyone the way I love you. Not ever. Not before, not now, and I now know I never will.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oh the swoon! I love how open Brock and Everleigh are with each other, and the romance is just beautiful. It\u2019s also sexy as all hell. Seriously, these two are open about ALL things, they hold nothing back from each other and their passion for each other is wild and hot and so damn intense! Just\u2026 *fans face*\u2026 wow.<\/p>\n

We get to see glimpses of their past, and there\u2019s a bit of build up as we slowly uncover what happened between them to destroy such a solid couple. My heart ached for both of them, truly victims of circumstance, both regretful of how they handled things, but finally ready to move forward.<\/p>\n

There is a little bit of external drama \u2013 Brody is now a single Dad to an adorable eight year old girl, and there are some tricky dynamics that come from that, and the evil Cartwright family is still trying to flex their power. And as a bonus, there\u2019s a minor side story for Everleigh\u2019s mother, which is so much fun. It adds a little something extra to the story, and I loved it so much. But it\u2019s all background to Brock and Everleigh finding their way back to each other, and I loved watching them finally get their HEA.<\/p>\n

This is such a gorgeous read, I loved it. 5 stars.<\/p>\n

About the Author<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"When her nose isn\u2019t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she\u2019s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It\u2019s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn\u2019t listen to her\u2026<\/p>\n
