Then, I crossed paths with Jesse Addison, who made me realize that I had not only lost Sarah in that accident, but that I had also lost myself. An emotional rollercoaster, a twist in the plot that ripped my heart out, lies and deception, and an all consuming love, this book had it all. Despite being unable to walk, I had fallen head first for a girl who weakness was running away; one that I would spent a lifetime chasing after. Though there were times I wanted to shake him, I completely understood why he did the things he did. If we got more of them trying navigate the world actually being together, I would have loved this even more.When he comes out of prison 12 years later on probation, his sister and our heroine pick him up from prison. However, as much as I enjoyed this one - and I did - I also can't honestly say I loved it as much as other books I have read by her. Actually, his sister was also raped by the same guy so she kills him and her brother (our hero) takes the blame. Ma la verità è che io e Thea ci siamo evoluti in modo simile alle stagioni: lenti, costanti e inarrestabili. I was 100% invested in getting to the HEA for this couple because if anyone deserved it, it was these two.

And when secrets from our dark pasts come back to haunt us, will our love be strong enough to triumph? Considering the subject matter, this could have been a tear jerker, emotionally exhaustive read but it was pretty light. After a brutal night that resulted in Ramsey going to prison for that amount of time, Thea is now looking forward to having to having her best friend back in her arms.Thea hated Ramsay when she met him but at that time she would have hated anyone, there was so much bitterness in her. However, an adult Ramsey acting like a kid denying Thea's help, breaking their "best friend law," and pushing her away for her "own good" were what I wasn't able to accept. Every little girl has a fairytale dream where she is saved by a knight in shining armour and they fall in love, living happily ever after. She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a super-sized tumbler of wine by her side.

And the years that followed after, when Thea was counting every day, every minute, every second, until she would see the man again who told her he didn't love her anymore. While you're reading and feeling quite safe and optimistic, all of a sudden you're left reeling and flailing and wondering WTF just happened. RELEASE is a complete standalone with new characters that will give you all the feels, some humor, intense storytelling and a beautiful story about soulmates who deserve their HEA. I think for me it helped that Thea and Ramsey were just kids and their love story was filled with this sort first love energy.And this is what Aly excels at - her stories are perfectly balanced and never drift into the trap of too much angst. Overcome by bitterness and fury, I spent four years trying to run away from the memories—until I met a broken woman who gave me a reason to stop. I was very invested in Thea and Ramsey's relationship and would recommend this if you want an emotional second chance romance!
