This book actually took me by surprise because I wasn't expecting it to stir upward my emotions as much as it did. The story revolves mostly effectually Selena and Oliver crossing paths again later on years of hiding away from the mistakes of their youth.

Such a great story... gave me warm fuzzies... I beloved information technology when that happens... :)
This book actually took me by surprise considering I wasn't expecting information technology to stir up my emotions as much every bit it did. The story revolves mostly around Selena and Oliver crossing paths again later years of hiding abroad from the mistakes of their youth. But information technology also revolves around Joe and Marsha Dixon, the foster parents of Oliver, and information technology was his parents that had me hooked generally into the story. I loved their matrimony and how they devoted their entire lives to helping children in need. They couldn't take children themselves, only they turned it into something wonderful instead of letting information technology bring them downwards. Very inspirational characters that I grew to love.
Selena and Oliver made huge mistakes in their teen years... it's a story nosotros've heard before right?? Their Wreck-less behaviors somewhen pulled these two autonomously even though they loved each other. Sometimes you lot hurt someone so much they accept no choice simply to run abroad. And, that's what both of them did.
Tragedy strikes the Dixon family unit however, and Oliver found himself back in this modest town facing the woman he loved in his youth with a new prepare of eyes. It'due south funny how time and a few years to grow can help heal the hurts of the past and notice a style to give someone a 2nd chance. Information technology also doesn't hurt to have a huge family of foster brothers and sisters to set you directly!
The other matter that I LOVED nigh this book is the way the writer included the occasional POV of Selena'due south little girl... I thought this was really powerful. Looking at a situation from the eyes of children is always a rude awakening. They see things simply and even though you try to hide the truth they can also be very, very perceptive! I fell in love with little Camille.
Joe and Marsha Dixon perfected what information technology means to be a existent family unit. Sometimes a trivial love and patience is all the medicine we demand to behave on. I loved the way they loved all of these children and gave them a sense of belonging and home.
I hope at that place are more than installments to this series. I would love to get to know some of the other characters a piffling better!
A wonderful story that I would highly recommend to modest boondocks romance fans and those who just honey a story that leaves you feeling adept at the end.

What really drew me to this volume was the fact that Oliver and Selena are far from perfect. Both are recovering addicts, just they have pulled their lives together. Oliver is doing is all-time to take care of the foster parents who made him who he is and Selena is doing her best to exist a adept mother to Camille.
These two were an item, only their teenage bug pulled them autonomously.
The struggles that these 2 have are very existent. I have to acknowledge to loving that Oliver actually wants to be part of Selena'due south life, probably more than than Selena is set to take him in hers.
There'due south more to this story than just the rekindling of a romance. The large film really focuses on the importance of family. Selena is coming to accept her mother, who she had a strained relationship with, also as Oliver's family, The Dixons.
If you don't beloved the practiced hearted foster mom and dad, Marsha and Joe, in that location is something wrong with your heart. There is one scene with Marsha and Belinda (Selena's mom) that will tug and your heartstrings.
It was actually wonderful to run across the 2 families come together.
If you are a fan of family romance, this is definitely the book or series for yous. I can't wait to see whose story is adjacent.

The only trouble I had with this book was the manner the writer made everything a big drama, and then much and so that information technology well-nigh detracted from the story line and current happening. For example, the author dragged out the initial encounter between Oliver and Selena, the confrontation betwixt the two while the Child Protective Services was doing and impromptu inspection of Oliver'due south parents' home surroundings and never did mention the inspection afterwards (why insert this anyhow if y'all are not going to even mention it and possible impacts/repercussions after the fact, since it added naught?), and the initial meeting among Oliver, Selena and Brad in the hospital while all were visiting Oliver's father. I could proceed, just I won't. I just cannot empathise why everything, regardless of importance or complication, became so very of import and usurped the story line so much then that, as I said, I sometimes had difficulty remembering/realizing what exactly was going on. I realize the author wanted to bring out all the by events that led to what was occurring and to bring out their importance simply there are other ways, oftentimes employed by other authors.
Otherwise the story is a well done, sugariness romance. I enjoyed reading about the town and the families and watching the interactions between the characters, though there was goose egg all that unlike from other books in this same genre. I have non read anything else by this writer,
but she seems to be quite good, and I will now wait for other works past her. The story is a skilful romance and will appeal to readers who are looking for and savor them. I received this from NetGalley to read and review.
