Synopsis
Happily-ever-after only
happens once in a lifetime, right? But what if Prince Charming runs for the
hills at the first sign of trouble and leaves you to pick up the pieces? Thinking
her marriage was over, Tessa was more than a little shocked to fall into the
arms of her husband (literally) at a party she’d planned through her new
company, Decadent Events. When he asks her out for coffee, she assumes it’s to
sign the divorce papers he’d seen. What’s a girl to do when her heart still
goes pitter-patter for a man who ran out on her six months after they made
their forever vows but comes back asking for another chance?
My Thoughts
Steena Homes has done it
again! I’m a huge fan of her novels and this one is no expectation. In this
novella she gives us the story of Tessa who after her husband takes off with no
explanation is left to put the pieces of her life back together. She pushes the
sadness aside and builds a company which she puts all her focus and energy into
then sudden after a year her husband comes back. What is she to do? She still
loves him of course but he left with no word and broke her heart. She was
finally dealing with the fact that he wasn’t coming back when he came back,
however she wants answers. Why did he leave and why didn’t he explain why after
the fact. Not everything is black or white and sometimes things can be taken
wrong and sometimes we do learn from our mistakes. And yes sometimes love can conquer all but it takes time and real work, sometimes if we are lucky we get
that second chance.
I love how Steena Holmes
always gives us these complex characters that have such depth yet are so
relatable. I love how although this is a novella it reads like a full-fledged
read, with rich characters and a storyline that any of us could possibly relate
to. This is the first of two books and I for one can’t wait to read the next in
the series. I encourage you to read any of her novels and I promise you are bound to find one
that will touch your soul, folks they are THAT good!
After reading Stillwater Rising, I am definitely a fan of hers; I had no idea this new series was coming out! Great review, Monica; this sounds like a keeper!
