It was love at first sight for Skye and Desmond. They were inseparable until they experienced a miscarriage. Skye started resenting Desmond and he started staying away to avoid deep conversations. Skye thought it was best the two go their separate ways. She ends up meeting Lance. He was everything at the time Desmond wasn’t. Not being  cautious Skye ends up taking a trip to buy pregnancy tests when she runs into Desmond unexpectedly. Seeing him bought up a bunch of emotions. She started to think that she should be happy with Lance and her unborn but now she’s questioning if she really want to be him. Truth is she misses the hell out of Desmond but is also hurt by him. I loved Desmond. He loves hard. He knew all he wanted was Skye and would do anything to have her back. Emily is a real true friend. A friend that don’t sugar coat you and give it to you straight up. We need that. Loved her. Skye mom was so overbearing that it annoyed tf outta me. Her dad annoyed me for even allowing this type of bs to go on for so long. Lemme first say I respected Lance. Not how he went about the situation but him knowing that he didn’t wanna put a a child through a bunch of dysfunction or a broken home. I also felt bad for him because I believed he loved Skye but he was hurt. Hurt people hurt people js. I enjoyed reading this. The multiple POVs and the flashbacks gave some insights of the past and the present. Skye was a strong FMC and I give her the upmost respect because she went through a lot but also conquered. This was so realistic. This will definitely hit home for a lot. My favorite part of this was when she let him watch😼💦. Chileee 🫣. I’m so happy Desmond and Skye got their HEA. They was perfect and so deserving of one another.  Thank you Sydney Renee for this eArc.

This was too cute. Rudy had one thing on his mind and that was getting his ex wife Noah back. This was super romantic. The intimacy was between the two was so strong. Emotions was raw. I loved seeing Rudy vulnerable. I’m happy they got their HEA but I wanna see more of them in the future.

There was a lot of spelling issues that made it hard to understand. However I did like the message the the author put out. Just be you. It can be detrimental. I liked this book. I just wish the grammar issues was fixed.

I’m invested. I wanna see how this is gonna play out. I was a bit confused in the beginning tho. Felt like things was all over the place and it was hard understanding but reading further I started to piece things together. This a new to me author but I have heard good things.
