When a book starts with the bride leaving the groom at the altar you can't imagine it will have a good outcome…
Well, Ms Kelly did an amazing job of pulling me into this love story that started when the couple was only 6 years old. Can you imagine knowing your significant other for that much of your life? I would love that! Zack and Cassidy know all about each other and all about what their pasts include and how that affects not only the present but the future.
Most men would give up if they were left at the altar, but Zack is determined to win Cassidy back and prove to her that she’s the perfect girl for him and that it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks because they know each other and already have the perfect relationship.
Because of Cassidy’s tragic history, Zack has to handle her with care and prove to her that she’s deserving of his love and that his family truly loves her, too. I love this quote from early in the book when he’s showing her just how much she means to him:
“There’s never been a girl whose hands fit mine like a glove as if they are an extension of my own, until you. There’s never been a pair of eyes that see into my soul and set my world right again, until yours. There’s never been a set of lips that have locked onto mine like the keys of a lost kingdom until yours touched mine. Every part of you completes every single part of me.”
The supporting characters in this book really stole pieces of my heart, too. Zack’s dad for instance was an amazing man who shared with the couple more than he ever had before in hopes of righting some of the wrongs done to Cassidy by his wife, Zack’s mom.
I don’t want to give away the story, but just know that Zack climbed a lot of rungs on my book boyfriend ladder and he’s up there towards the top. He’s so perfect: funny, charming, sexy, and romantic. I hope that many, many others will enjoy this book and fall in love with Cassidy and Zack like I did...and I can’t wait to read the next book about Zack’s twin sister, Rylee!!!
Excerpt
Placing my hand behind her head, I gently roll her over and position myself on top of her. I’m going to make this girl feel the depths of my love if it’s the last thing I do in my life. “I love you,” I whisper a breath away from her lips then cover her mouth with mine. I take my time kissing her then pull away slightly.
“I’m going to love you and only you until the day I take my last breath,” I tell her softly before meeting her lips again, claiming them with mine. This time, I kiss her longer but still don’t breach her mouth with my tongue.
Again, I pull away just a bit but whisper into her mouth in hopes that my words will not only weave themselves into her mind but also into her heart. “Love is love. It comes without strings, without obligation, without judgment, without fear. It is unconditional and all-consuming. I couldn’t separate my love from you if I tried, so please stop trying to push me away because I’m not going anywhere, baby.”
