I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.


Harper left her hometown and never look back, She has a very successful vet clinic that she running with her ex V also raising her daughter Eden and it hasn’t been easy. When her father Jimmy’s has a heart attack she goes home to help out in her father clinic he also a veterinarian.

Addison is study to be a vet and she working at the clinic as a veterinary assistant. She has great relationship with her daughter Brook and her mother Patty who happens to be married to Harper father.

Harper and Addison had feelings for each other in high school and share an amazing kiss that they never forgotten. Harper left because she didn’t want to be in a town where she couldn’t be herself. Addison who couldn’t be honest about who she is. When they see each other again the feelings are still there but Harper isn’t playing on staying especially when she doesn’t want to leave her clinic in the hand of her ex. Addison has to choose to live her life she wanted or lose the one woman she always had feelings for.

This was a good. It was slow burn with some drama.

This book had so much potential to be great. Very underwhelming and at times... boring.

I had to force my self to finish this book. Harper was a very indecisive annoying character who maybe with the help of more descriptive writing could’ve been more bearable and interesting. The writing is definitely my problem with this book, not the plot. The writing at times was hard to read as you’ll find yourself asking “which she? Is the author referring to her or her” and not only that but I couldn’t connect with the characters.

None of them really had a personality of their own. They were really just different versions of each other and I’m pretty sure that had to do with the dialogue being all the same. Harper is still a bit sour that her dad has moved on from her mom but even that story line was only confronted for a hot second where they pick it up and it just falls flat with the resolution. Eden was probably the most realistic character despite her being minor.

Addison was a boring character, but so was everyone else since again there’s no personalization of them. I didn’t like the pairing of Addison and Harper, the only bit of chemistry is from an early added flash back from when they were teens. There was no build up or passion in their kisses everything just felt forced. Not to mention the slight weirdness of them being step siblings, hear me out; they’re grown consenting adults, didn’t grow up together and who’ve never even thought of each other in that way but it’s still a little weird. Then there’s this really random part coming towards the end where Harper decided their whole life with out even consulting Addison and then despite the expected fall out from that It still happens spoiling Harper in the process. Harper didn’t make any sacrifices in this book except putting her pride aside for one second to apologize to Patty per Addison’s request which was definitely my favorite Addison moment.

I just didn’t connect with this book. If you’re looking for a hot fiery passionate love story then this isn’t for you. If you are how ever looking for a slow burn with little drama then this is definitely for you.
