Though this is a standalone second chance novella, we are told that a new series set in the same world is coming so I hope we see some of these great characters again! I thoroughly enjoyed Ryan and Jude's story as you could feel the love they still felt for each other from their past history. They have to work hard at overcoming issues but the chemistry really helps them realise they have a lot to offer each other. A low angst story with some steamy moments and left me looking forward to more.

This is a beautiful story, subtly sensual and passionate without being over the top and I am very much in love with the characters and the world that is being built here and looking forward to exploring it all in future books!

This is the emptiest, laziest agglomeration of letters there has ever been. Nothing but tropes and cliches, stitched together with weak syntax and weaker structure.
