The CHOKEHOLD this book had me in. It was so captivating, in the writing, the characters and the plot. I felt so connected with Matty and was rooting for him, hoping for the best for him and his journey. Full disclosure, did NOT see it ending in a HEA. I was expecting Kellie to be more cold shoulder, but am sooo glad she ended up choosing Matty.

Chris’ character made me so happy, he cares so much about his brother and was a big reason I had so much faith in Matty. Even the two nieces, the way they were so excited to have their uncle back, learning Italian and drawing, *insert heart-eyes*. And that helping him find his passion again?! AWE

Overall, this book was so much more than amazing. The characters were so beautifully written. The writing made you feel as though you were there, feeling the itch Matty had and the hurt and happiness he experienced. The story was amazing and I cannot wait to get my hands on a physical copy !!
