My Review:
4 Stars
Mia Sheridan has a sweetness to her stories, and this one is no different. Leo and Evie grew up in the foster care system together and fell in love. They promised each other they would be together but then Leo moves out to California with his new family and they lose contact. Years later Jake Madsen approaches Evie and says Leo died. She is attracted to Jake and they begin a relationship, and the plot thickens a bit from there. Not nearly enough emotion or angst in this book with such a great storyline!! The connection was meh. I wish the author would have put Leo's side throughout the book in sequential order with Evie's story and maybe it would have been juicier. Mia is a good writer but her characters need to be more passionate.
