The suspense, the chemistry, the emotion. I loved everything about this story.

Emmett and Blakely have a history together. They were in the military together, they were best friends, but they are also husband and wife. They just haven’t seen each other for years, but now their paths cross again. I love Emmett and Blakely. I loved their history together, I loved seeing them reconnect with each other. Though, it wasn’t also easy for the two of them.

Blakely is pretty much a BA. I love her. She was a combat medic, which is where her and Emmett met, and now she is a PI and really she proved time and time again that she can really handle things herself. I may have a slight girl crush on her. Emmett, he is just easy to love. The man is protective and when he loves he loves, even if it may be something that hurts him.

This story is a rollercoaster from start to finish with your emotions. There were times I was questioning on if Emmett and Blakely would ever get the HEA they both deserve. There is a lot of baggage that they need to work through and at one point I was yelling in my head with the turn the story took….there were a lot of not so nice things being said and my heart was absolutely broken. IYKYK.

If you’re looking for a small town, suspense, second chance, marriage of convenience romance this is one to check out.
