My Review:⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4 out of 5

A Lifetime of Afters:

Tragedy struck and everyone seemed to fall apart and go their own ways. For two families that were so close for so long, two losses were too much to continue their happy lives. It took ten years for these families to heal and come back together as they once were, maybe not as full or whole, but at least they’re a family again.

This story was so heartbreaking, healing, and beautiful. I cried and I laughed, but mostly I loved these characters and the story of Hawkley and Noelle’s love and reunion. These families had a wonderful, enjoyable life until things fell apart.

This was my first book to read by Devin Sloane, but I liked her writing and her older characters. This isn’t fully about young love, but a lifetime love and it’s a beautiful, tragic story.

Every Bit as Perfect:

Tragedy struck and everyone seemed to fall apart and go their own ways. For two families that were so close for so long, two losses were too much to continue their happy lives. It took ten years for these families to heal and come back together as they once were, maybe not as full or whole, but at least they’re a family again.

Harley holds so much in from the tragedy that struck her family two people that meant the world to her are gone and she feels as if she’s always been second best, but when she has the opportunity to find someone that puts her first she has a hard time believing that he’s sincere. She’s been second best for so long and put down from her ex that her self esteem and confidence are in the cellar. When Daire shows his interest in Harley she believes that he’s out of her league, but Daire is determined to show her that she’s his first choice.

I enjoyed this story of how Daire pulled Harley’s strengths out and showed her that she’s just as special as the rest of her family and that she’s strong, and can do anything. He gave her the strength, confidence and respect that she’s been lacking.

No Sweeter Madness:

Proof that second chances are worth waiting for and the risk that we take to make our lives what we want of them.

Max and Wren were young, they had their whole lives ahead of them. When Max broke up with Wren she went into a tailspin and made choices that would change her life. However, she could never wish that choice away since it gave her something special.

Max has waited for so long to get the one woman back that he’s always loved. He may have been the one to break up with her, but once he figured out that she’s was the only woman for him, he couldn’t settle. When their lives start to settle a bit, they find their way back to each other only to have things turn upside down for them. Are they strong enough to weather the storms that hit them?

Another great story in the Sage Ridge series. Great characters and entertaining story. I enjoyed the full series and would love to have stories with Bridge and Shea and hopefully their HEA’s.
