They say keep your friends close but your enemies closer . . . But what do you do when the enemy is your family?

This was my first book by the author and it definitely won’t be my last. It had a slow start but was so worth the read. Of all the characters I loved Iceland cause talk about loyalty bae gave it‼️ 

When Berkeley lost her memory things between her and Ice drastically changed. The fact that he held on to hope and his love for her the entire time was so romantic. But Berkeley irked my nerves a little bit the way she pushed him away after the incident. Like sis you have no recollection of what happened or who anyone is the last thing you wanna do is push people you’ll end up needing away. 

I also didn’t like Berkeley with Mykel from the moment his character was introduced. He was giving off this aggressively controlling energy. Her sister Syd did not let up off him either I know she wanted to slap some sense back into Berkeley. Then when fate brought Iceland and Berkeley back together Mykel was so pressed because he knew he was gonna lose her. AND DID‼️ Oh and let’s not forget the author gave the right amount of spice with this one too.

Overall, I enjoyed it this isn’t your typical romance and definitely recommend. The timeline jumps which I liked and there was a major plot twist you may or may not see coming. This was giving romance, messy family drama, loss, rekindled relationships, betrayal, and a little mystery.  If you’re looking for a new indie author to add to your radar you found one‼️
