This book felt like a Thanksgiving dinner. It was so warm and comforting. By the end of the book, I for sure knew that the emotions that were evoked were happy, pleased, and content.

What I thought would be a drama romance, with toxicity, it wasn’t. It was a full-circle romance taken place in historical setting of southern Carolina. And so I also learned a lot about the historical background of the Black river owns by Black slaves on plantations.

It started off with a bang, with a woman being left at the altar by her soon-to  be- husband, because he did not want to go through with the marriage. Slowly, it turned into a very warming  romance, where someone who’s good and deserving of true love, gets what she deserves at the end. 

I was shocked though because I expected so much more negative interactions but, I am pleased with how Rhonda McKnight satisfying feeling in me.
