Oliver Foxley seems to have it all together. He does not. He has been battling severe depression since he was a child. He has had some success holding it together, but it is getting harder. I got the feeling that his wife didn't understand his condition as she seems to just want him to pull it together, which as we all know, doesn't just magically happen with depression.

When he returns to Holy Isle, a retreat run by monks, he encounters a seriously disturbed young fan who turns into a stalker.

Cara, a widow and an artist has already had one great love in her life and is happy enough with what she has. Until she meets Oliver.

I think this is supposed to be a Romance, but the book needs some serious editing and character development. Characters are introduced and seem to be important to the story line and yet we are left hanging as to what happened to them.

Not to mention Oliver seemed a rather spineless man. Sleeping with more than one woman while his wife held down things at home. It was rather disjointed to be honest and I'm still not sure what the point was.

NetGalley/Aria   My information for release is April 01, 2018 but Goodread's says May 1st.

This is a little deeper than many romances - both Oliver and Cara are struggling. You know, however, that things are going to work out, which is really why we all read this sort of novel. The characters are well drawn, the setting one of my favorites, and all in all, it's a good read which probably would have benefited from another edit. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.
