At first this book turned me off a little because I thought the author was too wordy. Like there were way too many adjectives and such describing every little detail. But I eventually got used to the writing style.

I did enjoy the book. It was a little different ending than I originally thought it would be.

Book provided by NetGalley. Thanks for the opportunity.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow! I was impressed with this read. It took me a few days to get into it, but once I was halfway, I devoured the rest. Her chapters bounce between past and present so effortlessly. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but was surprised at the twist of the story.

As a preference of mine, I skipped over some brief parts you could consider “smut,” as I don’t think the details ever really add to the storyline. One of the bigger takeaways was their belief that nature is healing; this part really resonated with me as I feel I’m whole while hiking in the mountains.

Can’t wait to read what she puts out next.

The powerful story with robust characters immediately drew me in from the start. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Gandhi's book would be great for a buddy read and a book club!

Wow. Just wow. This book kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. It was so beautifully crafted it quite literally took my breath away—several times. There was nothing I could predict. There were so many twists and turns and heartbreaks and healing. I fell in love with the characters so easily. I want more—need more.

Wow! This was one of the best books i have ever read . One of those books that you put down and you’re just in absolute awe . The story was so well written. The main charachter Mina was extremely likeable and I found myself rooting for her , and even grieving with her .
I won’t give away any spoilers but that ending. Mind. BLOWN.

If forbidden romance is a trope you enjoy, then When We Had Forever by Shaylin Ghandi should be at the top of your TBR. This book was highly addictive for me, and intensely emotional. Ghandi takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions in the best way possible and delivers one superb romantic story. A definite 5 star read!

Thank you NetGalley & Harlequin Trade Publishing for an ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is something I would refer to as a summer read. It was cute and easy. It had a good couple of plot twists that kept it exciting

I was immediately intrigued with this story. Such a massive trauma to start the story and seeing Mina’s journey from start to finish was inspiring.

I’ll say it was about halfway through the book where I started piecing figuring that things were not what they appeared to be and it was fun seeing the puzzle pieces all start to fall into place.

From that point on, I couldn’t put it down so be prepared to enjoy the ride!

Thanks to NetGalley for this advanced copy!

📖 When We Had Forever

Mina’s husband passed away six months ago. It came as a shock. She is still deep in her grief, especially when she realises that her feelings for her husband has not been the same as before for a long time. Her marriage was over long before Michael died.

Things change when his estranged brother, a notorious bad boy, arrives. Secrets get revealed, feelings shaken up and the unknown is ahead.

This book left me in an array of different feelings and emotions. We accompany Mina through her love story and the loss of it.

This book had a bit of everything, romance, ups and downs, and twists I didn’t expect in a book like this.

The writing is beautiful and very well thought out and planed.

⭐️Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for my advanced copy. All opinions are my own, I was under no obligation to review.

I absolutely devoured this book. It has everything I love in it—complicated relationships. Swoon-worthy romance. A twist I didn’t see coming. The prose is so beautiful and the plot so compelling, it kept me up way past my bedtime. I already can’t wait for Shaylin’s next one!

Mina lost her husband, Michael, 6 months prior in a car accident, but she has to admit their marriage was over before the accident. But then she finds something in his home office and that, mixed with the reappearance of Grayson, her husband’s bad boy brother, leads her to take a hard look, not only her marriage, but life in general.

This book surprised me in a happy way, which is strange because for most of the book Mina is grieving and at times, unable to cope with her life. Then she has some clarity and she runs away to the woods to find herself.

Love has no limits….

For fans of Colleen Hoover.
