Seis años después de la muerte de su hermano Bowie, Maddie Whittle sigue atrapada en el duelo. Su vida entera se ha centrado en facilitarle las cosas a su familia y en honrar su memoria, dejando de lado sus propios sueños. Ahora, está decidida a transformar la antigua propiedad familiar en un retiro de bienestar, un proyecto que le exige tiempo, energía y dedicación… sin espacio para distracciones.

Pero todo cambia cuando un cerdito escapado de la granja local la pone cara a cara con James Byron, un viejo conocido con el que comparte más de lo que imagina. Maddie necesita ayuda. James necesita un trabajo. Lo que ninguno busca es la tensión creciente que amenaza con convertirse en algo más profundo: esperanza.

Mientras el invierno avanza y las renovaciones los acercan, Maddie y James deberán enfrentar el dolor que han intentado esconder. Ambos han perdido a sus hermanos y, aunque cada uno lidia con la pérdida a su manera, compartir sus heridas les abrirá la puerta a nuevos sentimientos. ¿Serán capaces de dejar atrás el miedo y apostar por un futuro definido por el amor?



Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.

I was really looking forward to reading this book based on the blurb, but unfortunately it was a miss for me. I'm not sure if it was the setting and the language barrier since I'm from the US and the UK slang and such was a bit distracting for me or maybe it was just because I had recently finished a book that gave me a huge book hangover and no matter what I read after it wasn't going to measure up. That being said, I would suggest that you ignore my review and try this for yourself! I'm grateful to have been given the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book through NetGalley.

This is book two in the Unforgettable love stories and I would say you can read it as a standalone as I have done. Maddie lost her brother a few years ago and since then has pulled herself into work, building a wellness retreat at her family's estate. She wants to get on and distract herself from the time when her brother was so poorly, but a blast from the past throws everything up in the air especially when said someone starts helping her with her wellness retreat. What happened back then and can they ever rekindle what they once used to have? It was a predictable but easy enough read, relatable characters and the author Sarah has done a great job of keeping things light but also dealing with sensitive issues. I would say it was well written and look forward to exploring more of Sarah's books.

Sarah Gate, thank you for creating such an incredibly relatable female protagonist, and for giving her the love she deserves. Perfect.
