The Music That Ties Us: A Rockstar Romance

by Nicolette Terry

***Spicy Edition***
Clean Edition Available

“I don’t want you.”

“I don’t want you, either.”

Cadence is stuck. Stuck in a career she didn’t want and with a guy who might as well be a stranger now. She’s craving something, anything, that feels like the life she’s missing out on. That spark ignites unexpectedly when she ends up at a rock show, face-to-face with Damien Walker—the lead singer of Rebel Rebellion. He’s all broody and sharp edges while making it clear he wants nothing to do with her.

Funny thing, though? That only piques her curiosity more.

Damien has his own mess to deal with—a past that keeps him from getting too close to anyone, and a family that’s depending on him. There’s no time for a mystery woman, no matter how intriguing or infuriating she is. But with her fiery spirit, Cadence breaks through his walls and lights up parts of him he’d thought were long dead. He can’t have her, and yet he can’t stay away.

Breaking a few rules might just be worth it, right?

But life doesn’t play fair, and for Cadence and Damien, it seems like everything's trying to keep them apart.



Can they fight their way back to each other with the very music that brought them together in the first place?

This book isn’t your average rockstar romance. It has a band that’s still fighting for their shot, some not-so-private intimate moments, and two people who couldn’t be more right for each other.

This book had me hooked!! I could not put it down! It gives all the feels and takes you on an emotional roller coaster! I love the relationships that are built in this story and I can wait for some of the other characters stories to become available! A must read!!

[Jules Herbert · Rating 5 out of 5]

This Amazing author has done it again with yet another emotion filled read that will keep you hooked. The characters held me completely captive again and I really wished I could reach through the pages to shake some sense into some of them and kill others at times LOL. That's a good sign when reading a book I think when the characters become so real to you. This Author is now on my must read list!

4.5 ⭐️

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC copy.

I read this book in less than a day.. I could not put it down. It puts you through a rollercoaster of emotions.

I love the character building for Damien & Cadence. Damien is a broody misjudged rockstar. Cadence is a tough woman, and has been shoved into a “box” for years & years.

I love how they bring the best out in each other.

The spice in this edition is so good. 🔥

I only rated it 4.5 instead of 5 stars, because I felt like we didn’t get enough time with them once they were finally together.

❤️🔥🥰

Spicy? Yep
Sexy? Oh yeah!
Hot? Like a Tamali
Tension? Like a tight rope
On fire? Burning bright and hot

This is the spicy addition of The Music That Ties Us after all. It is a slow burn romance at first then it lights up like a fire in the night. I wonder how I have not come across this author before now.

Nicolette has a way with words that brings the story to life with superbly written characters although there were times when I wanted to shake Cadence and get her to walk away. I wondered if they would ever get their act together. They each have their own pasts to deal with, but they can’t seem to escape them. With evil exes on the scene that I wanted to do bodily harm to.

The Music That Ties Us gave me all the feels in all the right and wrong places. It is a very emotive story, and it is hard to put aside but unfortunately work had other ideas. I read it every waking minute because I was so wrapped up in the story.

I will be read other works by this author.

The Music That Ties Us (Love Ties Us Series) by Nicolette Terry - Review by Jessica Stone

Wow, my goodness to say I throughly enjoyed this book is a understatement. This book grabbed me and didn't let go right from the start. This author did a wonderful job of making this book interesting and easy to relate to, for anyone who's ever been in a bad relationship or even to anyone who is just starting to develop feelings for someone.

Cadence is so relatable at points in this book it's like looking in a mirror, the ups and downs this girl faces with juggling her friendships long distance to trying to maintain her relationship is nothing else if not entertaining. I find myself eager to see her get riled up and angry because watching the explosions is fun. She's witty, and funny, and quirky, while managing to have a softer vulnerable side that she doesn't show often but when she does it's a real treat.

Damien is on the outside, the epitome of a up and coming rockstar. But underneath his friendly, outgoing facade he's full of emotions that he doesn't share with anyone. He's got a lot going on in his life and doesn't quite know how to handle it all, which in turn just kind of shuts him down more. But thankfully throughout this book he really opens up once he meets cadence and they hit it off.

So here's the run down, girl goes to concert with sister to see new band she loves,girls finance stays home because he's to good for that sort of thing, girl meets hot moody rocker, guy and girl do not hit it off, but have weird attraction to one another nonetheless. Girl and guy end up seeing each other more and more, start to develop a friendship that's sexually charged from the get go, unfortunately girl still has fiancé, whom treats her less than great a lot of the time. Girl starts to realize she deserves better and she's unhappy and thus the story unfolds.

Though it's definitely not as cut and dry as that, the relationships maintained and made in this book are nothing if not whole heartedly relatable. Between her and her sister and her long time home town friends to her strained relationship with her fiancé and her new budding friendship with her rockstar, I devoured every word this book had to offer. I cannot wait to read more from this author!

[Deb · Rating 5 out of 5]

Damien and Cadence definitely fit together like a puzzle piece! The growth of their relationship was perfect!

Elijah- eff you! I did not like this guy and any time he and Cadence were together I would scream at my Kindle wanting her to leave him, even before Damien came into the picture.

Their relationship was so toxic and full of red flags that it's easy to hate Elijah, there were absolutely no redeemable parts to him as a person or their relationship. I hated how she kept trying to get him to be the person she met/fell in love with, but that is also what made this feel so real for me since it does happen in real life, when they did finally break up though I was so happy!

I don’t normally read books like this so going into it I didn’t know how I would like it… and boy did I like it. No… LOVED it! I couldn’t put my Kindle down. This story hooked me right from the start and if it wasn’t for real life getting in the way I would have devoured this book so fast. The story is easy to get into, the characters are relatable, and even the internal pov was amazing and never boring. There are some sad parts, or at least to me they were, that made me want to jump into the book and give Damien the tightest hug.

This book is a slow burn, though, with them not getting together until chapter 22 for a while. Some twists happened and they were broken up again until chapter 32. The build-up for their first time together was so worth it though, and of course, I was screaming at my phone when Elijah came between them (again eff you, Elijah).

I give only a few books a 5-star rating, but this work of art deserves it! Watching the growth between Cadence and Damien, the personal growth of Cadence and her finding herself again after losing who she was, the relationships between friends and family, all of it was just perfection and so well written that giving it any less would be a crime.

Welcome to my never-ending list of book boyfriends Damien!

** I read the not clean version and loved the spice scenes, but if you aren’t into spice she does have a clean version**

In this heartwarming tale of love, forgiveness, and redemption, Cadence is stuck in a relationship that makes her miserable. Cadence realizes that after years of trying to be what her boyfriend’s family thinks she should be, Cadence will never fit into their box. It is not who she is. When her boyfriend guilts Cadence into not going to a friend’s funeral by threatening her job, Cadence discovers that she doesn’t like the person she has allowed herself to get whittled into.

Cadence’s stepsister, Jade, convinces Cadence to accompany her to a live music show one night. Cadence feels an immediate connection with the lead singer, Damien. Since Cadence is still in a relationship, she and Damien become friends. Damien is happy to have any part of her since he can’t have it all.

Damien has ghosts and scars of his own. One is that he is caring for his sister who is currently undergoing cancer treatments and her children. The fear of losing his sister is a weight that Damien can’t escape. Damien is fighting for his dream of becoming a rockstar while the responsibility of family pulls him in a different direction.

Once Cadence breaks away from her jerk boyfriend, she follows her heart to Damien. Then it all falls apart. He stops calling, texting, and communicating. She doesn’t know why. When Damien finally tries to explain, Cadence doesn’t want to hear his excuses. Damien fights his way back to Cadence. At a surprise concert, Damien puts everything on the line for Cadence.

Although we find out what happens with Cadence and Damien, this book ends on a small cliffy. Find the rhythm of this series and join in!

[Kerry carr · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the second book in The Love That Ties Us series. This is a romance with a rockstar and if full of banter, chemistry, desire and angst as they both try to fight against the chemistry they feel. This book had me hooked right from the beginning and I couldn't help but fall in love with Damien and Cadence. They just fit so perfectly together like a beautiful piece of music with lyrics to match.

Damien is the leader singer of a group called Rebel Rebellion. Along with his career he also has a family who relys on him and trauma from his past that stops him getting close to anyone. He doesn't have time for women and romance and wasn't even interested until he met Cadence.

Cadence already has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is part of a wealthy family and so as his partner she has to ask and behave in a certain way. As time goes on she starts to feel trapped inside a world where she doesn't belong. Desperate for a break she goes with her sister to a concert and there she meets Damien. The spark between them is instant and undeniable but why does he act like he can't stand to be near her?

With things already stacked against them surely they stand no chance? Even though Damien knows he shouldn't get close to her he can't stop the pull towards her. With seemingly everything stacked against them and keeping them apart with they ever get their chance to find out just how perfect for each other they truly are?
This book was really moving, you could actually feel the couples feelings and emotions jump right off the page. I was totally invested in their story and couldn't put it down.

[Brandy Jo Rymer · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely love this book series and recommend anyone looking for a feel-good romance series to start with the first book and then this one second. Each can be a standalone, but you'd be missing out on getting to know the whole gang that are key characters in each book. Nicolette Terry has written such a great book series, it gave me everything that I want in a romance, and then more. The author's use of such masterful ways of going into detail about the character's life stories really draws you in and helps you to connect with them. Every character is so realistic, that you feel like you can relate to the real-world issues that are going on in their lives.

I love that this particular book gives us Cadence's story and that we get to see what is going on between her and her boyfriend and learn who the "I met someone" is referring to from Book #1. It's great to read a story that deals with regular people's problems and have a glimpse into the lives of people who have not had an over-the-top family life but are more down to earth in the fact that they grew up with less than stellar situations. It allows the reader to feel an emotional connection, and to relate to the drama and contention that makes up the storyline. It's so hard to trust love when you've been burnt and don't feel like you are worthy of being yourself. It's nice to have a story that connects so well and overlaps the previous book, showing how well they go together. You are just getting the situations from another point of view from other characters in the friends group.

FREAKING INCREDIBLE!!!!!

I frequently search to discover newer Indie authors who deserve credit for their works of art and came across this book as it was portrayed as "spicy", and at the time I needed something to excite me (stay-at-home mom with 3 littles and constant monotony). Though it is a stand alone, I opted to read the first published book to get an idea of the characters and their ties (glad I did). This second book is FIREEEE!
Nicolette Terry is an incredible author who completely nails the personality of Cadence and Damien through her poetic genius. Their relationship is slow to blossom, but when it does, it's like fire meets oxygen and the flames ignite. I was incredibly impressed and entranced by the spicy scenes, almost as if I was there. *hands cover face emoji* It was romantic, beautiful, descriptive, sexy and ignited a flame in myself that I've kind of been missing (let's just say my husband was probably happy I read this book). The characters completely come alive in this gripping nail biter, almost as if they were friends of mine. It has me wanting and needing more of this group of friend's lives. I will be hoping, wishing and praying for a spicy 3rd book until it is available (hopefully there will be one??? *fingers crossed*). I highly recommend this author and book and cannot give it enough stars!!

[Maisie Camille · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s funny how I keep picking up books that I end up massively relating to. Cadence is stuck in an unhappy, toxic, passionless relationship until her sister drags her to see a band and she can’t keep her eyes off the lead singer. They don’t get along at first, but end up forming a deep friendship, which allows Cadence to grow the strength she needs. It’s an emotional story all-round, as well as relatable, and inspirational, and romantic. I did find a few issues towards the end, for instance, I feel like Damien’s history is the kind of story that contributes towards the lack of belief in women, I thought her connection to music would come sooner, months go by in the space of a few chapters, a lot comes out about Elijah, there’s a huge level of miscommunication, and I’m guessing the reveal at the end is a hint towards the next in the series but I hadn’t connected to the relevant characters enough for it to make an impact. But overall it was a passionate love story and I’m happy with how it worked out. My favourite character was Cadence and my least favourite character was Elijah. I recommend this book because it is inspiring especially if you find yourself stuck in an unhappy situation. And we’ve all dreamed about singing along with a rockstar, haven’t we? ‘There was something inspiring about hitting rock bottom and creating yourself all over again, brick by brick.’

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The Music That Ties Us is Book 2 in the Love Ties Us series.....and I loved this story. Cadence and Damien...wow, their story was hard to put down. Romance, angst, greed, friendship with sugar and spice. This story definitely took me on a roller coaster of emotions and I was all in to the very end.

Cadence is trying to make her relationship work with her current boyfriend work...but things are going sour..fast.... this picks up to Cadence and Damien meeting by chance encounter. When Cadence has a girls night out with her sister to go and see her favorite rock band, Cadence tags along. Little did she know, she meets Damien..who is the lead singer. Cadence already has a boyfriend, not expecting anything to change, but meeting Damien, something sparks. They both know nothing is to come out of a spark...but as Cadence puts the pieces together on a current relationship that is controlling...she finally is brave to move on. As Damien and Cadence get to know each other on a different level....lines can get blurred....feelings develop when they are both unsure what they want. When greed comes out to play hardball against Cadence and Damien... it hits hard. Will Cadence and Damien be able to withstand everything that is stacked against them...

Definitely read and find out!! Highly recommended story!

[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

An enjoyable, emotional and engaging contemporary romance, with a rockstar romance theme. Cadence is stuck in a relationship with a guy who is now a stranger and in a career she didn’t want. She’s craving something, and she finds it when she comes face to face with the lead singer of Rebel Rebellion, Damien Walker. The fact that he makes it clear he doesn’t want anything to do with her just seems to make her more interested. However, it turns out that Damien also thinks Cadence is intriguing, but he has his own issues to deal with. His family is relying on him and memories from his past keep him from getting too close to anyone. Cadence manages to break through Damien’s walls and although he can’t have her, he can’t stay away. They feel like everything is trying to keep them apart but they are willing to break the rules to be together. I love the fact that it’s the music that brings Cadence and Damien together. I found them both to be likeable and relatable characters. I was pleased that this wasn’t just like every other rockstar romance. I thought it had much more depth and emotion in the storyline which kept me invested in the story.

[Noëmi · Rating 4 out of 5]

4 stars from me because even though I really liked this story and the spice (oh that was really, really good), sometimes I just had to put it down as Elijah made me so angry I wanted to scream, shout and shake some sense into Cadence. All the things he did and say to her and she just put up with it bcs why? She loved him and thought he would change into the guy he was in college? Girl! The emotional abuse, the stalkeresque behaviour…

Also the driving after having more than one drink (and shots) kinda put me off. Especially bcs later in the book Cadence mother tells her not to drink and drive.

I loved the friendship building between Damien and Cadence before they ended up like that in Vegas. The tension that was there was great. And as I mentioned, the spice was topnotch!

Also the sisterhood between Jade and Cadence. A bit sad that we didn‘t get more of how Jade ended up with Colton. Maybe in another book?

Also the ending of Liam and Belle? I hope to read more about him! He seems such an amazing character.

The Music That Ties Us is part of the Love Ties Us series by Nicolette Terry, I have never read a book by this author before, but I will be keeping an eye out for more. I really enjoyed everything about this book, it got me mad which is a good thing. The story follows Cadence who finds herself in an unfulfilling relationship with a who is stifling her, when Cadence goes to a concert with her sister Jade, she does not expect to have an instant connection with the smouldering lead singer of the band. Damien is not in the market for a relationship, especially one with a woman who is already taken, he has been burned before and has learned his lesson however, he cannot deny the attraction he feels. This was a really enjoyable book, I got so mad at Elijah and the way he treated Cadence that I was practically shouting at my Kindle. I really wish this book had included him getting his comeuppance rather than seemingly being able to walk away without consequence, but hopefully, future books will revisit some of these storylines. I will definitely be reading the other books in this series.

[Audrie Harrington · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great second book that follows the loves of Cadence and Damien. Cadence is the best friend of Blake, the main character in book one. This was another dual point of view story and I loved it. Cadence is stuck in a job that she doesn’t really like with a boyfriend that she has had since college. Her eyes are opening and she starts to see that he isn’t the man she fell in love with but she keeps trying and hoping to bring that fun, loving boy back into her life. Cadence meets Damien, the lead singer of a rock band, when her sister Jade drags her to a show one night. Instart sparks fly with just a look but Cadence is in a relationship and therefore off limits. Damien is the lead singer of a rock band that is still trying to make it big. He is tattooed and pierced and brooding. He seems to hold everything close to him and doesn’t really open up or let anyone in. Cadence needs to choose what is going to make her happy and Damien needs to keep his family safe. This book was a page turner and I hope that there are more to come in the series!

[Enchanted Owl · Rating 4 out of 5]

While this book is the second in the series it can be read as a standalone. The way Nicolette Terry writes is so very descriptive that I could easily “see” it in my mind as I was reading. This book drew me in slow, but hooked me fast. I didn’t want to put it down.
I could definitely tell from the beginning something was off with Cadence and Elijah’s relationship. The way Elijah went from being a jerk to lovey dovey was classic narcissistic behavior. Thankfully Cadence finally figured out he wanted her in a box and when she finally figured that out and allowed herself to grieve that relationship and move on she was much happier. The connection that Cadence has with Damien is everything a girl could ever hope for. Not to mention the steamy scenes with Damien had me thinking I needed to fan my face. (Spicy edition, there’s a clean edition also). Talk about the spark and heat of these two. In the end, love wins it all.

The Music That Ties Us (Love Ties Us Series) by Nicolette Terry is a great contemporary romance

Cadence is unable to move. stuck with a guy who might as well be a stranger today and forced into a career she didn't want. Anything that feels like the life she's missing out on is what she's craving. Unexpectedly, that spark flares up when she runs across Rebel Rebellion lead singer Damien Walker at a rock concert. He gives off the impression that he doesn't want anything to do with her, all brooding and jagged edges. With a family that depends on him and a past that prevents him from getting too close to anyone, Damien has his own mess to contend with. No matter how fascinating or frustrating a mystery lady may be, there's never enough time for her.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. The story really brings us into their world. I couldn’t put the book down.

[Jay Marie Fyre · Rating 5 out of 5]

The story of Cadence and Damien is one of patience, kindness, emotion, forgiveness, and coming home all in one swing. Cadence's story is so relatable to so many women who lose themselves in their relationships only to find themselves again in the most unexpected and beautiful way. Damien's story is one of pain and loss only to triumph over evil in the end through what he loves most.

The characters are strong, well-rounded, and compliment each other in the best ways while also giving them the room and space to learn and grow as life intended. This story is something that continues to live rent-free in my mind due to Terry's wonderful execution and ever-improving craft. I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next.

Cadence and Damien's emotional transformation, finding their inner strength, and solidifying who they wanted to be together AND individually is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a while.

The ending was my favorite, you'll see why when you get there :D

3.5 Stars

Music is their catalyst.
Their sanctuary.
Their downfall.

The Music That Ties Us is the second book in the Love Ties Us series by Nicolette Terry. It is a spicy contemporary rockstar romance with chemistry, tension, intrigue, angst, drama, emotion, banter, and fantastic characters.
The characters were well crafted into fully realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. I appreciated how they continued to develop and grow over the course of the story. It added extra depth and dimension to their tale. And made it easy to invest in them and the outcome of their story- Cadence and Damien really were perfect for each other.
So, if you love a heart-tugging, slow-burn, hot and spicy rock star romance- then you will definitely want to dive into this book asap.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Nicolette Terry!

The Music That Ties Us (Love Ties Us Series) by Nicolette Terry. This is a great contemporary romance. Its the story of Cadence who feels like she is stuck in life. Stuck in a bland relationship, stuck in a rut in all facets of life until her sister takes her to a rock concert and she connects with the lead singer, Damien. Damien wants no part of Cadence even though she is beautiful he can't risk a relationship with his past. Cadence doesn't give up on Damien but Elijah her boyfriend is still around and she puts up with a lot from him. She and Damien do become friends thru their love of music and the chemistry is off the charts. Will she finally be able to say goodbye to Elijah and will Damien finally let her in. Will Cadence be able to see her worth the way others see her? Such a good read but be prepared, I couldn't put it down once I started reading. I finished in one evening.

[Beverly Finnie · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Music that Ties Us is a wonderful story. The author quickly brings us a slight romantic triangle. With characters that were well written and delivered throughout.
Cadence has a fiance and great memories of their time together. But things are different now. Lost is the man she once knew, laid back and fun. Now he’s suppressing who she is as well. Until one night things changed. Craving independence, what does Cadence get herself into in this story?
Damien doesn't want to be held down. But he can’t keep his eye off of Cadence.
Does he give into temptation?
What will happen with the fiance? I had so many questions through it all. With the plot included.
Again I will reinterpret how this book, it's the beginning of the end? How will Cadence get through her current predicament?
I look forward to finding more books by this author
To dive right into!

[Beejai Bohls · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was a very quick read for me. I was able to finish it in a day. It is really well written and will have you turning pages as quickly as you can. The characters in this book are amazing and you will feel like you want to be their friends by the end of it. It is a slow burn romance with a bit of spiciness tied into it. The characters have some amazing moments with quick wit and banter. It deals with relationship issues that a lot of people commonly find themselves in and it gives hope to that situation at the end of the day. I highly recommend reading this book because it has everything you could possibly want in a romance reading. The spice level was just enough to make you blush but not enough to make you question where you should be reading this book (well at least for me). I look forward to reading more from this author.

The Music That Ties Us: A Rockstar Romance (Love Ties Us)

I had a hard time putting this book down. I fell in love with Damien and Cadence individually and together. Cadence is one of the two friends who live out of state and doesn't get home nearly often enough.

Damien is the lead singer of Rebel Rebellion, while touring with his band he meets Jade. Jade who is also Cadence's sister drags her along to one of their shows and sparks fly.

The first half of the book focuses on them as individuals and everything going on in their lives separately. It highlights what a catch Damien is and made me fall for him just a little bit.

The first two books have been my introduction to Ms. Terry which I discovered were her first two full length books. I'm looking forward reading her evolution as an author.

[Hannah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Back again after devouring the first book of this series. I ran to read this one. It’s a longer read than the last one both boy oh boy, it was just as good if not better. This one follows Cadence and Damien and their journey to their HEA. One thing I saw that the author did that I love was that she made a clean version and a spicy one. You know I had to get the spicy one but for the ones that don't read for the spice then they can get the one without and still enjoy the story as well. I highly suggest that if y'all haven't read any of this series go read it now lol the author is really talented and her writing transports you into the amazing world she's built. Even though I don't read rockstar romances that often, this one book of the series is my favorite so far . I can't wait for more.

[Shannen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second book in the Loves Ties Us series, and since I fell in love with the first one so quickly, there was no doubt in my mind that I was grabbing this as soon as possible. I would highly recommend that you pick up the previous book before reading this one, but I promise that it is totally worth it! The stories of Cadence and Damien are emotional, heart-wrenching, and inspiring. These characters are so well-developed that they felt real like old friends of mine. I should have cleared my entire day before picking this book up because I couldn’t put it down and got nothing else done! It is absolutely addicting; don’t say I didn’t warn you. This author proved once again why they quickly made it on to my watchlist and I already need more. If you are looking for a steamy, addictive romance then this should be the next book you pick up!

[Jennifer P Ramos · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have recently read some musician type love stories and I couldn’t help myself to give this selection a try! The first selection in this series was so good and I really enjoyed it. I really looked forward to reading the next one in the series and can be a stand alone choice as well. This book centers on Cadence and Damian. Cadence feels as though something is missing in her life until she stumbles onto a concert featuring Damian’s band. While Damian, on the other hand, is feeling as though he cannot escape his past but when he feels like he can move on, love finds him at the most inconvenient at times. Sometimes when love tugs on your heartstrings, it is not an easy thing to let go! I absolutely love this author’s style of writing and well thought out character development! I am looking forward to reading other future works of Terry’s.

Be still my beating heart 💓

Cadence is bored more than stuck I’d say , she’s dating a guy with whom she’s trying to make things work with and it seems more work that it’s worth it , her career isn’t satisfying her and she’s stick I n a bad place , what she needs is a lift me upper and who better than her sister to do that with so when they go and see a rock band 🎸 I get excited and she’s not ready for what’s about to come….

Cadence meet Damien , lead singer of the band and there’s sparks and yes they try and fight it but the heart wants what the heart wants 🥰 and while Cadence has to heal and find herself , I’ve been there so I get it , I felt Damien would be her healing balm 😉actually they heal each other in the most beautiful way

Yes there were hurdles to overcome and many many tears shed but each one was worth it ! Once bitten , twice shy has no place here 🤣🥰😉
