4/5 Stars.
Talk about a heartbreaking love story! I absolutely adored Olivia in this read and felt such strong compassion and empathy for her and her situation. The connection she had with Silas was something only soul mates experience. Their love and partnership was so touching! My heart shattered with the loss of Silas and the shell of a wife he left behind.
The way he chose to be a part of her life, after his passing, was not only thoughtful and sweet but also helped Olivia heal in ways she never thought she could. The scavenger hunt he sent her on made for an adventurous and thrilling story line.
I enjoyed Noah and Charlie so much in this book! Their friendship and love for both Silas and Olivia was unwavering and helped hold the story together.
What I didn’t love about the book was the ending. The way Olivia fell for Clay so quickly after meeting and how their relationship was rushed with a completely unrealistic timeline compared to how her grief spanned the story. It just left me feeling like the author rushed to wrap up the book and threw a happy ending together last minute.
Overall I thought this book had all of the key elements you desire in a romance read. There were super hot sex scenes, a deep connection with someone that you could only dream of experiencing, the hilarious best friend / support system, a little drama and suspense and a whole lot of love. This was my first book from this author and I would definitely check out other works in the future.
The narration by Sarah Puckett was top notch and she really brought the story to life!
