Moments happen in an instant that stop you in your tracks. When a once in a lifetime love unexpectedly comes into your life, but at the wrong time, eventually you're faced with what ifs and choices that you have to make.

She is forced to decide if the obstacles they face and the odds piled against them, will pay off in the end...thus begins a love affair that spans the course of almost five years and challenges her human spirit.

About the author
Victoria Parker
59 books58 followersVictoria Parker's first love was a dashing heroic fox named Robin Hood. Then came the powerful, suave Mr Darcy, then Lady Chatterley's rugged lover and the list goes on. Thinking she must be an unfaithful sort of girl, but ever the optimist, she relentlessly pursued her Mr. Literary Right and eventually found him lying between the cool, crisp sheets of an M&B Harlequin romance. Her obsession was born.
If only real life were just as easy...
Alas, against the advice of her English teacher to cultivate her writers muse, she chased the corporate dream and acquired various uninspiring job titles and a flesh-and-blood hero before she surrendered to that persistent voice and penned her first romance. Turns out creating havoc for sassy heroines and devilish heroes who are dynamite-at-first-sight truly is the best job in the world.
Victoria now lives out her own happy-ever-after in the north-east of England with her alpha exec and their two children - a masterly charmer in the making and, apparently, the next Disney Princess. Believing sleep is highly overrated, she writes until 3am, ignores the housework and still loves nothing more than getting cosy with a romance novel. When she isn't buried in a book she loves discovering far-flung destinations and getting into mischief with her rather wonderful extended family!

I have to say that I overall enjoyed this book. It was a bit patchy at times and I was always waiting for the shoe to drop on this. I kept on reading it though and that's always a good review for me. It was sexy yet not too erotic. That's always good for me too.
