Will Connor be able to find redemption and reunite with the woman who holds his heart, or will the wounds of the past forever keep them apart?Reader ReviewEvery page of this book is like a little surprise. This beautiful love story took me through a rollercoaster of feelings and emotions.

The setting of the story being in the 1960s reminded me of all the struggles that were happening in the world at that point in history. But the beating heart of the story is the love between Connor and Alice.

I admired Alice's resilience in not giving up on Connor, despite the hardships he had endured. In the end, the only thing that stands strong is the power of their love.

This story is an absolute must-read. I cannot wait to grab the next book in the series.

Without a doubt, five stars! - Sofia Goodreads. .
