What a gorgeous story! Even if most of it broke my heart to pieces, I adored every minute. This wasn't just a romance or a work of fun fiction, but a depiction of life's journey.

Ryan Hartford was dealt a shitty hand. An untimely death, an affair, prison, and heartbreak, no wonder he was welcoming an end of his own with open arms. It's when he decides to leave his old life behind and move far away, that he finds the opportunity to begin again.

Maggie Wright is a single mom, hard-working nurse, and wary of relationships after having her heart shattered by the father of her child.

It's when the two cross paths that not only a friendship forms, but something so much deeper, that a lifetime together would never seem like enough.

When an emergency occurs, their bond is tested to the limit, and I genuinely wondered if they'd actually get their happy ending.

All I can say is that Ryan Hartford is one hell on a wise man. I looked forward to his advice about life and love, and left my time with him and Maggie with tears in my eyes. I always love it when I can spend decades with a pair and see how they learn and grow together. These two didn't disappoint!
