i was this close to tears several times - and not because Colleen's writing is in any way shape or form moving to me - it's because i don't even want to look at this, let alone read it. I love that Colleen let us feel for Kenna and gave us so much insight in her heart and head through letters that when we found out what had happened, we couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her. A troubled young mother yearns for a shot at redemption in this heartbreaking yet hopeful novel by Colleen Hoover. The two form a connection despite the pressure surrounding them, but as their romance grows, so does the risk.

This was my first ever CoHo book and boy, if I had known what burning dumpster-fire of reeking red flags had awaited me. instead of the usual butterflies and heart flutters her books normally give me, this feels very raw and heavy. Third, seriously though, this woman has an unhealthy fascination with ‘dramatic’ accidents and car wrecks. Sarina Bowen is the RITA® Award winning author of over two dozen contemporary and LGTB romance novels.Not to mention that he's her boss at this point and he knows he's one of her only sources of income, he keeps putting her in sexual situations where it's arguably hard for Kenna to say no.

Accidents happen, and based on the evidence, things were not looking great for Kenna, however, everyone deserves that opportunity. The romance comes in when she meets ex-football player and current bar owner, Ledger Ward, whom she immediately feels mutual attraction to. At the time of Kenna's trial, she didn't know she was pregnant, otherwise she wouldn't have pleaded guilty. First of all, CoHo should’ve made this into a THRILLER cause I think the premise would make for a better romantic suspense than whatever this ended up being.

Still, fifteen years later, Lucian haunts every one of Catherine's quiet moments, and when they are unexpectedly reunited, their love reignites with explosive force.

so even though this didnt make me feel as light-hearted as i usually do with her books, i did feel something. Ledger, on the other hand, who just met this woman, who's known her for all but 20 minutes, is sure that Kenna's face is "a work of art" and god, how he wishes "there was a picture of it hanging on a wall in a museum somewhere so [he] could stand in front of it and stare at it for as long as [he] wanted.

really said diversity✨ in this one and made sure to mention that Ledger hired black and hispanic people in his bar. Such a journey we go on, one we are made to go on whether we want to or not but mainly because Catherine is just that damn beautiful inside and out. As the story unfolds Lucian is given his own voice and fascinatingly the narrative shifts between the two, flitting backwards and forwards in time, past, present and four months before.

Luckily, Kenna was able to get Ledger on her side but that doesn't mean the journey wasn't rocky and chaotic. But if anyone were to discover how Ledger is slowly becoming an important part of Kenna’s life, both would risk losing the trust of everyone important to them. Duas pessoas que se encontram numa certa altura da vida e que, por motivos alheios às suas vontades, são separados pouco depois de iniciarem aquele que poderia ter sido o único e verdadeiro amor tanto de um, como do outro. We’re given an insight into Catherine’s thoughts and you really do feel for her and those around her. If she was as selfish and heartless and a stone cold killer as they all made her out to be she would have surely just stayed away, glad that she didn't have to be in the kid's life?If I had stopped reading this book (which rarely happens) I would have missed out on completing a cracking, five-star novel.
