MY REVIEW


Grab the Kleenex people because this was a Tear Jerker! 
A beautifully captured heartfelt romance that took me by total surprise. 

We meet Kayley Carson who unfortunately was met with tragic circumstances. Life must go on but how to do you let go of the one you love that is now gone? With a newborn baby to bring into the world without a father, how can she find new love again? We welcome Dr Ben "Yummy" Nicholls to swoon her over but capture not only her heart but little miss Alexis aswell.

The story that evolves between Kayley, Ben & Alexis was beautifully written. I could honestly go on all days about these three. After such heartache fate brings 2 people together with new love. The raw emotion I felt throughout this book was beautiful as the story unfolded.  
To the additional characters throughout this story, I believed tied this story together. The beautiful warmth from their best friends Emily, Cam to family members from both sides. Life would be hard to move on without the help of them all. 

She kissed him like he was breath that she needed in her lungs.  As their tongues entwined and their bodies pressed together urgently, she had never felt so desired, so cherished and so turned on all at one.
"WOW" he half laughed and half groaned
"I thought your kiss was incredible before, Kayley, but that was the best kiss in the history of kisses. You have just ruined me for life. ~ Ben


Without ruining the story etc and from the Synopsis above, you will just need to read the book to find out what happens. 

Thankfully we are met with a No Cliffhanger HEA ending, it completes the story after a journey full of emotion between two that are meant to be together.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book from cover to back page. Congratulations to L.L. Collins on a beautiful debut novel. I will look forward to the sequel Reaching Rachel.
