A 5 star second chance romance!
Given an ARC for an honest review! An emotional ride from the start to finish. This was a ride that had me smiling, laughing and crying. There is plenty of mystery and suspense along with some fiery chemistry between Ben and Olivia. These two have known each other for a long time but neither one of them wanted to make a move for different reasons. Ben is a man of honor serving his country. Olivia a woman that is independent, strong and can battle anything in front of her.. One night changes all the feelings between these two. Twists and turns of a roller coaster is what I felt while reading th

Tissues are a must
Received this as an ARC for an honest review so here goes. Honestly, I couldn't put the book down & when I did to try to get some sleep for work, I dreamt about it. I awoke early because I just had to finish it. This book will make you smile, laugh & cry. First author to have me crying in the first few chapters. Nicole will keep you on the edge of your seat with this book. I HIGHLY recommend even if its not your usual cup of tea, give it a shot. It's well worth it.

Who doesn't love a Marine!
This book was awesome. I knew it was gonna be good six months ago when I saw the synopsis and it didn't disappoint! I was given an arc for an honest review. I loved the love story of Ben and Liv from day one. It had so many twists and turns but love kept winning out! I really loved the ending, I finished with a huge smile on my face.

I truly enjoyed reading about Ben and Olivia. Ben was an amazing Alpha male without being to Alpha. His past was such a rough journey and he tried his best to keep that from Olivia. But in the process he ends up hurting her. I highly enjoyed their relationship and how they interacted towards each other. Madly in love but yet no controlling actions just respect for each other. The ending surprised me and the people involved.

Amazing read! Great characters! Ben and Olivia are to die for!
Mrs. Nicole Blanchard created a beautiful love story, full of angst, redemption, true love, a great heroe, an amazing heroine and a little of an ugly cry! There is also some mystery and suspense! And great chemistry between Ben and Olivia! What else can I ask? It has it all! And it is very well written! I was given an ARC for an honest review! Ben and Olivia know each other for a long time. They had one night a long time ago and then they meet again but nothing is the same! They both have their own demons to fight. Amazing read!
