I got the chance to read the prequel to this series, If Ever
I Would Leave You, and while it was a good story, it was incomplete, so I
wanted to read more to see what happened to Ian and Sierra. What I discovered was if you want to know
what happens to those two, you’re going to have to read all three books (I’m
hoping the third book is about them).
Kacey’s come back to her hometown with a bronze star for her
service and a broken spirit. The last
person she wants to see is Ben, who abandoned her 13 years ago and never looked
back. He’s come back to care for his
father and feels like Kacey’s moved on and doesn’t need him anymore. There’s just the small matter of the daughter
Ben doesn’t know about. Finding out
about her makes Ben question what he wants for the future, but if Kacey won’t
let him in, what’s he going to do?
While I really loved the story of Kacey and Ben, I was
disappointed that everything related to Ian, Sierra and Esme is STILL
unresolved. I looked forward to the
characters in the next book, and that one’s more about Sam and Willow,
characters that you meet in the prequel and this first book, but I’m sure
there’s plenty of Ian and Sierra in there to keep you interested in them.
The story of Kacey and Ben gets 5 stars, but I want to give
it 4 just because I’m irritated about the continued cliffhanger of Ian and
Sierra. I feel like I got tricked into
getting involved in a series where I’m going to have to get all the books and read
them in order to find out what happens.
Normally I wouldn’t have started the series had I known that. On the other hand, Warren has a good style
and kudos to her for creating characters I care about enough to bend my
rules. I’ll be keeping my eyes open for
the second book, Rescue Me, due out January 2017, and hoping the author puts me
out of my misery with the third book.
All in all, 4.5 stars. Good Book!

NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
