It started as a ruse, but the truth came at a heart-breaking cost. Can time heal all wounds?
After an intense whirlwind of a romance, Tessa and Jonathan found something genuine within their staged media affair. However, after the origins of their relationship were cruelly revealed, Tessa couldn’t forgive the lies Jonathan was willing to conceal from her – regardless of his good intentions.
Now, both are out of the media spotlight and each other’s lives. As Jonathan comes into his own as an actor and Tessa prepares for graduation, both are at big crossroads in their lives. Jonathan wants to win Tessa back and prove his love, but nothing is as simple as that. Tessa’s experiences of love have been painful, and she’s scared to let her guard down again.
When Tessa’s past comes back to haunt her, she begins to spiral in ways none of her loved ones have seen before. Only Jonathan can see that something deeper is going on and is torn between how to help the woman he loves and build a life away from his family’s shadow.
With their uncertain futures on the horizon, neither Jonathan nor Tessa can deny their love for each other. But is love enough to weather them through the storm they are about to face?

I loved the first in this series so much that I begged to be able to ARC read book two! I was not disappointed. Tessa and Jonathan have returned to fight for their love, but obstacles and emotions reign over them. Full of angst and twists, this 2nd book in a series is a must read!
This story has my feelings all in a twitter. I cried, yelled, and yes, even smiled. These two have so much against them that it's hard to imagine them being successful but they have such a chemistry you can't help rooting for them. I'm invested in this series. I will be back for the next book. I have to know what happens next!!
Tessa and Jonathan, are trying to overcome the meddling of their families. Both have doubts and fears that will be brought forward and will need to be overcome in order for them to move forward with their love story.

I really enjoyed the range of emotions and lessons this book produced. The writing was quite fast paced, hooking and poetic at times. I do think there was too many things going on and it kinda felt like a soap drama in one book so maybe if there were a few topics more focused on, maybe it would’ve felt a bit more realistic and therefore more impactful. I cannot wait for the final book and to see the conclusion of their story.
