I rarely read blurbs for books, but I did for this one and it intrigued me. I couldn’t wait for Duke’s story and this was on emotional ride.

Duke lost his love. He was a shell of a man. Just going through the motions of life. A year after the tragedy that forever changed his life, he runs into the one person he hates, the one person who reminds him most of the loss he experienced. Mallory hasn’t been this close to her home town in years, a place that holds terrible memories. When she runs into Duke, she knows how he feels about her, what she reminds him of. But when the truth finally comes out will that change everything?

Duke and Mallory’s story was forbidden in a sense, but you can’t fight who you love. You can’t fight who makes you feel complete, who makes you feel like you’re living your life again. This story is an emotional slow burn. Their story is broke my heart, but it also mended it back together.

I LOVE THIS BOOK! This review was difficult to write, because it is honestly one book you just need to read for yourself. It is worth a million stars.
