_____
From the first chapter you are dropped into the moors of Scotland and immersed in this epic love story. This book is about the choices we make and dealing with the consequences of those choices.

I loved the themes of hope and change and forgiveness interwoven into this beautiful narrative. Callum and Kate have such a chemistry that runs deep and they have to deal with all the things it stirs up within them.

There is a faith element that is written so true to life and doesn't feel heavy handed.

This book is a gem and so much is packed into 300 pages, not a second is wasted of your reading time, it is a delight from beginning to end.
_____
