I’m glad these books are presented as a duet. It’s horrible to read the first book and then have to wait for the second one’s release. In this duet we have Cooper and Carys, these two have known each other since childhood in fact they became step siblings when her mom married his dad. Cue the angst please. This book is so freaking angsty and I loved it. The pining the had for each, the longing it was delicious. And just when these two give in to their love, tragedy strikes. This story will have you tearing up. This couple experienced some of the lowest points and some high points, but their loved conquered all. Cooper is a true possessive alpha, who in the military and he has a lot to deal with and sometimes the struggle is overwhelming but he never forgets his love for Carys. Now Carys is strong, sassy and determined to be with her man Cooper. This is a great story of how love is strong enough to help two people through all the problems they face in live. I also enjoyed the bonus story giving us a glimpse of their life now.
