SYNOPSIS
All I wanted to do was run away, I never expected to crash into his arms...
After leaving the city life behind to escape my loveless marriage, I moved to small town Havenbarrow for a fresh start.
What I didn’t expect was to find myself drawn to the town’s black sheep.
They called him troubled. Cold. A man with a dark past.
What everyone seemed to miss about Jax was the splashes of light in his eyes. The random acts of kindness he performed when no one was watching. The way he made me smile and laugh.
Jax helped unpack the baggage I’d been carrying around with me. He was patient with my pain and gentle with my scars. He was the stillness during my hurricane.
Yet when both of our pasts came back to haunt our present days, we realized quickly that sometimes love stories didn’t end the way we’d hoped.
Sometimes you were left with only the damage from the storm.

Holly yessss, she did it again!!!
Brittainy has a very special way to delivered a book with such an amazing characters, she got me crying since first chapter with the way Kennedy was treated by her husband, he’s words and actions towards her are despicable and so horrible, so when Kennedy is force to reach for her sister, who’s only had kindness and received her with so much love and caring I was so happy for her.
“That was the problem with Penn—he saw my sadness and proved that side of me wasn’t worth loving. So, I was working harder and harder to not let that side of me slip out anymore. I didn’t want to push any more people away with my grief. I wanted people to stay.
Fake it till you make it, Kennedy.“
Jax is the black sheep of the town who doesn’t care what people think about him, but thinks not always are what they look like and Jax is the proof of that, he is kind and caring with those who deserves his attention and when he discovers that Kennedy is her Sun from summer camp his first instincts is to push her away but Kennedy is not going to let that happen, at this part we start to see a little bit of the little girl who was full of live and determination. She give him space but was there when he needed to talk and with the pass of the days they’re recovered that complicity and love that both deserved.
Jax’s body was wrapped around mine as he pulled me in close to him and held on as if he had plans on staying there for the rest of his life. His big, strong arms pooled around my whole frame, and I melted. I melted against his body and his soul. I melted into the history of our yesterdays.
He smelled like cedar and my favorite memories.
If I was crying while reading Kennedy and Jax and all what they been through and lost, I do cry too but happy tears with Connor’s personality, he is a sweet boy who adds such an awesome laughs to this story, I love him not just for the laughs but because he is a real unconditional friend to Jax.
“Listen, if you two are bumping uglies, then that’s something I can get behind. I’m all about my bro getting laid, and if you need me to plant a few seeds as your wingman, I’m all in. Are you doing her yard to get into her garden? Are you trying to lay down some cucumbers next to her peach tree? Is there an oversized eggplant—”
“Connor!” I shouted. “Shut up.”
I love how Kennedy and Jax look for each other regardless they’re own pain and heart broken.
Brittainy show us again through her characters that no matter how much we suffer in life there’s always brightens and great people who would stand and hold us to be the best we can be. Happiness is what we all deserves and I don’t care if is just in a book I want my hero’s get their HEA.
Another beautiful book by an amazing author.
“You make me want to get better,” I whispered as his strong arms held me close. He planted a kiss on my forehead. “You’re making me better,” he replied.
