Redemption #3
Possession
Sometimes the right path isn’t the easiest one.
Weston Bradford entered my world in a whirlwind.
Or, more accurately, during a torrential downpour.
After our brief encounter, I didn’t think I’d ever see the attractive man with mesmerizing blue eyes again. Not in a city the size of Atlanta.
Until I agree to take on a historic home renovation and learn the owner is none other than the same Weston Bradford who I met in the rain.
We’re as opposite as two people can be, but there’s no denying the spark, the connection, the invisible tether pulling us toward one another.
But my past has left me broken and scarred, forcing me to erect walls around myself. That doesn’t seem to deter Wes, though. He’s more than happy to scale those walls to possess the one thing I swore I’d never give another person again — my heart.
When the past collides with my present in an unexpected way, will he stand by my side and weather the storm threatening to destroy everything? Or will he abandon me like everyone else in my life?

Wes meets Londyn when he saves her from sudden death during a thunderstorm. Their connection is immediate as he carries her to the local coffee shop to get warm and catch her breath. She's feeling something and that gives her the urge to leave. Wes knows if she walks out that door there is the potential to never see her again, so he publicly and loudly asks for her phone number and she gives him her thanks and her business card.
Wes feels bereft when she leaves and he knows if it's meant to be they'll meet again and they do when his sister selects Londyn as the interior designer to renovate their reacquired childhood home. Wes is pleased to see her though Londyn is skittish. When he asks her over for a family dinner that includes his sister and young niece, she is hesitant to intrude, but throws caution to the wind. They find they have a lot in common but Londyn's past is full of pain and betrayal and she trusts no man. Through the love and friendship of her married neighbors Hazel and her husband Diego and the tragedy Hazel lived through, she helps Londyn see and believe that it's okay to live again.
When Wes bumps into an attractive childhood friend and Londyn is introduced solely as his interior designer, it makes her jealous and a bit angry, though she understands she's being completely irrational. It's Hazel's counsel that makes Londyn get out of her own way. Londyn does what grown women do, she confronts her demons and she goes to get her man and make no mistake she owns Wes--body, heart and soul. This is not one-sided as Wes holds the key to her body, heart and soul as well. The things Wes says to her throughout this story before they get together and after is absolutely swoon-worthy and I was rooting for him to get his woman and he did so very methodically. He's sweet and generous with a very big he♥rt and giant love for both his sister and niece.
When Wes informs his sister he's not attending the annual New Year's Eve Charity Ball, Londyn is torn for reasons you'll have to find out for yourself. I was holding my breath waiting for the proverbial shoe to drop as to what would be the grand finale to Part One (I know) of this story and it does not disappoint.
There's more and to be honest my heart simply could not handle the true grand finale because everything Londyn has worked to achieve (I suspect) will be obliterated by the past in 'Atonement'. It's heartbreaking and heart-stopping. all at the same time, and I cannot wait to find out if blood is truly thicker than water.
Highly, highly Recommended: Read It Now or wait for the conclusion to drop!
Atonement (Part II) is slated to drop February 8, 2021!

Contemporary romance with an edge, this book was well-written, culturally sensitivity and not afraid to examine societal issues as they involve fairness and race. The attraction between the couple, Londyn and Wes, was immediate but organic, exploratory until it was hot. Wes was sweet but alpha and appealing. The heroine was strong yet vulnerable. They both had histories influencing their interactions, but underneath it, a magnetism.
Excellent character development and great supporting characters who contributed to the small-town, every day feel of a couples' budding love amid obstacles, extra or internal in this interracial relationship. I loved that the couple was older and the home town feel while being a part of a larger city.
For me, a bit too much painting of the day-to-day at times made the plot progression unnecessarily falter though I recognize the story as a slow burn. Still, an excellent story for those loving a slow burn with lots of feeling in an every day mature setting, realistic storyline, contemporary issues.

A SURPRISING STORY THAT GIVES YOU... SATISFACTION.
Where should I begin? How do I finish? How can I put into words how this book captured the essence of the exquisite narrative itself?
This book is a straggly realistic cultural book, filled with details of diversity and highlighted one of the best, most intricate character development I have ever seen.
The main characters are depicted beautifully and the plot runs flawlessly, capturing the beautiful worldliness and joys of love.
The story is tense, magnificently written, and you will root for two very sympathetic characters.
I just love, the love story between Wes and Londyn. I truly believe they complimented each other. I also love the way they have successfully demonstrated the feeling/emotions of falling for each other.
The author's work has been commendable. She has revived a futuristic tale. It was real and it leaves you touched, heartbroken, and deeply engaged in the desire to read the next book in this series.

This amazing author has written another wonderful book that captivated me from the first page and never let me go! She is a one-click author for me, no questions asked. If she writes it, I know it will be awesome!
Wes has had his heart broken and doesn't trust. If you read the Redemption Duet, you know Brooklyn's story. Now we get Weston's. He meets Londyn in an unusual way, rescuing her as a damsel in distress. I love their immediate connection, the electric current that pulses between them. How fate intervenes and brings them back together restoring his grandparents's home place. Londyn isn't able to trust either, due to events in her past. They both must learn to open up and take a chance.
There are some relevant issues addressed in this book and they are done with grace and delicacy. This is an interracial romance and shows how love knows no color or bias. However, there are plenty of people, even family, who are racist. And love is not always the easy path, especially when there are people trying to push you off that path. There is a cliffhanger, because as we know, this is just Book 1 of a Duet. Atonement will come for us all! FIVE AWESOME UP-CYCLING STARS!

As soon as I finished this book I literally had one thought in my mind. This author wrote with such extreme intelligence, sophistication, and grace, that I could never dream up a better story with so many current issues. This author is always a go to for contemporary romance-but it’s so much more. It’s romance with depth, with emotion, that pulls these incredible feelings from you that make you really step back and take a hard look at your own life.
The insta-lust wasn’t only present between these two characters. I really loved both of them as soon as we met them. The slow burn intertwined with such an amazing story really moved this into one of my favorites by this author.

Possession was a book that I felt deep into my heart. With the world as it is today, I applaud T.K. Leigh for her willingness to bring to light topics many avoid, and handle it in such a sensitive, heartfelt way. Bottom line is we all should love and not let the past define us. She didn’t sugarcoat the ignorance that surrounds many. Love comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. I loved seeing the deep beauty in Wes’ heart. Wes and Londyn came crashing together and it was a beautiful, hard fought journey. Let me warn you, there is a cliffhanger at the end that will leave you reeling. Atonement can’t get here soon enough!!

Good read, but didn’t love the cliffhanger ending. There was an interesting surprise at the end that I didn’t see coming.
October 11, 2020
Loved loved loved this story!!! No matter your race, color, or religion, love is love! This author shows kindness, respect and a love for all through these characters. That ending has my head spinning with crazy suspense!! I can't wait for Atonement!!!
October 15, 2020
Wow! Talk about an emotional rollercoaster ride. The characters were absolutely amazing. This may be my favorite book by T.K. Leigh to date. It was such a real and thought provoking story.
February 8, 2021
WOW!! This read is on a league of its own, and worthy of 6 stars!
This is not your typical opposites attract, interracial romance. The author hit a home run with this complex, bittersweet and thought provoking story.
What are you willing to do for love?
This read explores love, family and commitment.
Even though it’s part of a series, this installment can be read as a standalone.
There were many moving pieces in this story, and this author did an incredible job in creating a story where all the pieces fit and came together to give me a flawlessly told read.
This is Wes and Londyn’s story. How they met was adorable and insta attraction. I got the impression the story is going in one direction. However, as they ponder their first meeting, and what to do next, secrets and old demons make them doubt themselves and each other.
How their story developed and evolved was bittersweet passionate and at times heart wrenching. Despite their insta attraction, their hilarious banter and combustible chemistry, there are old wounds and certain expectations standing in the way.
Sensitive subjects were portrayed realistically and more importantly with respect and integrity.
A twist in their story was jaw dropping and the cliffhanger in the end had me almost throw my kindle across the floor.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.
Sometimes the right path isn't the easiest one. Weston Bradford entered my world in a whirlwind. Or, more accurately, during a torrential downpour. After our brief encounter, I didn't think I"d ever see the attractive man with mesmerizing blue eyes again. Not in a city the size of Atlanta. Until I agree to take on a historic home renovation and learn the owner is none other than the same Weston Bradford I met in the rain. We're as opposite as two people can be, but there's no denying the spark, the connection, the invisible tether pulling us toward one another. But my past has left me broken and scarred, forcing me to erect walls around myself. That doesn't seem to deter Wes, though. He's more than happy to scale those walls that possess the one thing I swore I'd never give another person again...my heart. When the past collides with my present in an unexpected way, will he stand by my side and weather the storm threatening to destroy everything? Or will he abandon me like everyone else in my life?
This book will go right up there with one of the best books I have read this year. This is a interracial romance and when I say that, I don't mean that this is your typical one. This one deals with many subjects such as social injustices like racism, mass shootings and sexual assault. Don't let that scare you off those. T.K. Leigh have woven all this together and written on emotional but really really good book. This is the story of Wes and Londyn's story. These two meet in the cutest way they possibly could have, but when they start to ponder their first meeting, which by the way held and insta attraction, some secrets and old demons make them doubt themselves and each other. Now this is where the book at times just breaks your heart and when that happens don't stress because T.K. Leigh is not going to leave you heartbroken. She is going to weave a complex story that deals with a lot of things and it will have you reading well into the night. I loved these characters and I loved this story. I never wanted it to end. Possession is for sure the one book you want to read if you only read one this year and are looking for a love story that is so much more than that.

TK Leigh knocked it out of the park with Possession. This book is full of romance, but there is so much more to this story than that and it is worth the read! Possession beautifully deals with topics that I think many others would have avoided, but they aren’t glossed over, they aren’t glamorized and that is what makes this story so much more.
Londyn just lost her job and was almost hit while crossing the street, enter Weston, the man who saved her life. After that fateful meeting they couldn’t stop thinking about each other, but really didn’t think their paths would cross again, however, fate is funny and has something different in mind.
Londyn, I love her. She lost her mother tragically at a young age and felt like she needed to do everything she could to make her father happy, even if it meant she wasn’t happy in the process. I wasn’t expecting her back story to be so emotional and hit me as hard as it did. However, despite everything she is a survivor, a fighter, but she still struggles with what has happened. Weston, hasn’t experienced what Londyn has first-hand, however, he has witnessed it first hand, even when it comes to Londyn.
Their chemistry from the start is beautiful. There is a connection and they are drawn to each other. They are good for each other and exactly what the other needs. Their relationship isn’t easy and faces and lot of barriers both between the two of them and with the public. I love that Wes doesn’t care what others about his relationship with Londyn, he loves who he loves and to him the color of someone’s skin doesn’t change a thing.
Possession is the first book in a duet and does end on a cliffhanger, which I’m still recovering from!
Possession is a beautiful story that will leave you thinking, it will leave you angry and it will also have you falling in love with Londyn and Weston. A MUST READ!

If you read anything this year, READ THIS BOOK. TK not only deftly penns social injustices like racism, mass shootings, and sexual assault, but she crafts an undeniably beautiful love story in between all of these horrendous tragedies.
To say that Londyn has had a hard life is a gross understatement. She has been through absolute hell and back, and she's still standing. Albeit shaken-ly, but standing nonetheless. After being fired from her job and walking in the rain, she ends up narrowly being saved from a truck running her over, and immediately is stricken by her savior. She never thinks their past would cross again, but when they do, she herself must admit that maybe it's fate. But will this finally be the love that turns Londyn's world around? Or will her past always be there to haunt her?
This is such a beautiful love story interwoven with all of these painful tragedies. Wes is literally the most perfect hero I've ever read!! The way he loves Lo, and sticks up for her through everything just made me swoon so hard. He's her biggest champion, and I just loved watching them fall in love. It breaks my heart that even in 2020, racial equality is still a debate. It shouldn't matter what color someone's skin is, all that matters is how kind their soul is.
This is certainly a must read, but it does end on one hell of a cliffhanger! When I figured out the twist I legit SCREAMED.
Do yourselves a favor and read this book! And then curse up a storm with me as we wait for part two. :)

T.K. Leigh never disappoints!
I have been a reader of T.K.'s for a while now and she always amazes me with her characters. They become people that you can't get enough of and their stories grow on you in such a way, you can't help but devote every moment to them until the very last page. This was the case with Weston and Londyn.
Their story is a slow-burn of sorts, as the reader is taken through some high and low points with them. Their chemistry is undeniable and just the way everything unfolds with them crossing paths a second time, you know these two were meant to be together. Even though this is an interracial story, Leigh gives you so much to think about. She opens your eyes to real life and how others perceive things.
Leigh is a beautiful storyteller and Possession was one of those stories that I didn't want to stop reading once I started it. The passion and grace that jumps from the pages is what makes this one memorable. I prepared myself knowing that Possession was going to end in a cliffhanger and I'm prepared to wait for the conclusion. Weston and Londyn have something very special and I know their ending is going to be worth it!
Another masterpiece from an author that I adore. Love that she took a chance on a sensitive matter and made it something beautiful!!

This book does deal with some sensitive topics, such as sexual assault, race and abuse. This may cause some triggers for people, and just want to make them aware. This book does also end with a cliffhanger - I made sure to wait to read it until book 2 was ready to be released because I KNEW I would want it right away! This was a fast, fun, roller coaster ride of a book!

It's no secret that every book that T.K. writes I read. but this book just captive me. what have I read now? The sensitive issues she touches on in this book have crushed me.
Weston - I met him in her previous books, but completely there I got him in a little drop in the sea. In this book, wow, Weston is one of the men you would like to bring home to parents. Even if he has his complications.
Londyn - she was the most different character for me so far in all of T.K's books and it was like a pleasant breeze on my face. If I brought Weston to a meeting with my parents, I would make Londyn my best friend. A very interesting character, an amazing woman - her mental strength just elevates me. I connected with her in every way.
And as expected T.K. can not rest and give us a closed-ended. she must drop the bomb. And in order not to do a spoiler, I will let you sit and read.
Because this book is a must!
And let's not talk about building the tension between the characters, T.K. Knows how to do it best. And God what tension she has built for us.
And if you have not yet read her previous books I highly recommend it.

Man... I had to have a drink after reading this book. I still don't know if I can get my words together to properly express how I feel about reading this book. Its heavy, not dark heavy but emotionally heavy. There are times where I cried and there were times where I was literally yelling out loud at this book. I think with all those reactions T.K Leigh must be doing something right.
I must admit what drew me to this story was that it was an interracial romance. And as a black woman who has dated outside of my race I was curious how this story would unfold. And boy did it unfold. My heart breaks for Londyn with all she has/have to endure. And Wes... I want a man like Wes
This book broke me and had me feeling all the emotions. I think I may have to have several more drinks before diving into the second book in this duet. I look forward to reading more from this author.

If I could give this story and this author 6 stars I would! What an incredible plot facing real facts relatable in today’s world now more than ever!
Not every can be this bold in their writing, but what she did works, and I can’t wait for the second half of this duet!
Possession took me on a ride... a ride full of what/ifs, pain, loss,strength, love,happiness, and trust. I grew to really love these characters and what they went through, full heartedly wishing them a HEA! There were more interesting chapters than others throughout this story, but my attention never wavered too far from what was going on! TK definitely earned her stars for this book! Read it and you’ll se why!

I am speechless! But at the same time there is so much to say. First I would like to mention that there are some events that might be a trigger for some people. I give T.K. so much credit for the issues that she addressed. I can imagine that while writing certain scenes, it must’ve been very difficult. Knowing that there is so much truth to the words that were brought to life on these pages. And knowing that there really is such cruelty in the world today, is just heart wrenching. And then we’re left with a cliffhanger...gah! When a crosswalk is behind the meeting of Wes and Londyn some may say it was just being at the right place and the right time. Some may say it is fate. These two can’t seem to stop thinking about one another. So, when they see each other again they can hardly believe it. Londyn has so much hurt and cruelty in her past. She has some pretty big walls built around herself. But Wes is determined to show her that he will do whatever it takes to climb these walls. Show her how good they can be together. Londyn tries to push Wes away. She even tells him about her past. But that still doesn’t scare him away. I was sucked right in from page to page during their blooming relationship. But as always the past never stays in the past. I definitely didn’t see it coming. My heart was pounding until the end. I am going to have a hard time waiting for book two. I need to see what is going to happen and if love is strong enough to get through it. I love Wes and Londyn and I think readers will fall for them just as much as I did.

I so wanted to love this book. I'm a very tough critic and I look for the nuance in character, dialogue and plot. There was one thing about this book that I disliked and it speaks volumes about me as a person. I was annoyed by the female lead.
I commend the author for tackling race and having an interracial couple, but (there's always a but) the female lead didn't connect with me. I found her to be whiny, indecisive and I hate to say it... weak. As an African-American woman, I often fight to ensure I don't succumb to the myth of the superwoman. But there is an underlining strength and resilience in black women. I just didn't get that from this character. She was completely devoid of personality. Boring. Dare I say it: vanilla.
Wes was perfect. The character definitely deserved better.

Long arse book
This book was long. The saddest part was it was repetitive. When I look at atonement, I see it's book 4. That means you have three other long arse books before. What couldn't you have said that book one couldn't hold. At least you let her tell Wes about the rape. I thought she had learned self defense. What happened to it? Why couldn't she beat Nick's arse? What good did it do for you to tell us about the self defense classes?

Hold on to your kindle! An incredible story with all the feels! So much depth to this story and so much emotion. The characters are truly some of the very best and the book brings on some very difficult situations, but was handled with the upmost respect and with a meaningful message. No matter the past, you can choose to rise above and fight. You are strong enough.

MY RATING: 4*
SERIES: Possession #1
RELEASE DATE: 15 October 2020
CLIFFHANGER: Yes
I have recently gone down the rabbit hole of the KU and discovered this gem just by chance. When I tell you my mind is blown, I mean my mind is fucking blow. WOW! Just WOW! What a book! This is my first book by this author, and it was so unputdownable that as I’m writing this review, I’m resisting the urge to just leave it so I can get onto book 2; but I can’t not review this.
Londyn Bennett meets Weston Bradford on the unfortunate day she lost her job and the 20th anniversary of her mothers’ death when he saves her from being run over by a van. The attraction is instant, yet they go their separate way. Fate however has other ideas when Wes decides to have his grandparents old house renovated and by chance Londyn is the interior designer his sister hires for the job. With their share’s passion for buildings, design and art, they embark on the journey of restoring this house together.
Feelings are there, but Londyn has such a dark past that have resulted in her having trust issues that render her unable to get emotionally involved with anyone. Wes wants Londyn, in any way she can get her, so when she keeps running from him and insisting that she only wants friendship, Wes fight her but eventually relents.
The continue to spend time together, basically dating; until Londyn eventually relents and they become an official couple. While that’s exciting, when Londyn finally opens up to Wes about her past; about Jay, her husband and her dad, I thought
But I loved Wes. I mean Wes is BAE. I loved how he held her throughout her struggles, how he helped her grow and move on and just loved her back together. Especially when he insisted that the New Year’s gala was not an option for him because he didn’t want to put his girl through the reminder of her trauma.
Anyway, the night of the masquerade gala comes and when Julia starts to tell Londyn what her husband did for a living and bit of background, my reaction was
When Wes doesn’t catch onto her distress and left her with Nick to go give his speech, I was screaming don’t leave her with him.
I loved this book to death. I went in blind; I don’t even remember reading the blurb. Something just pulled me to it. I must say it was different to what I expected. I expected a lot of racial tension seeing as Wes was white and Londyn black. That’s probably what attracted me as I’ve never read a book with an interracial couple. But boy was it good. The instalove thing I’m never ever really convinced of. But I must say, for some reason I’m buying what they are selling. What I’m still unclear about is whether Londyn is infact divorced because she said she just upped and left and never seen her husband again? Did they divorce? Also, what did Nick mean about Julia the night after the masquerade? Is she his victim too? I want that story clarified immediately. I was also annoyed by that cliff-hanger. I hope Nick doesn’t die. I want him alive to see his life fall apart before his very eyes. I hate when people just die when they’re found out. Let them live so they can suffer.

OMG...OMG...
I don't even know what to say about this story. We know Weston Bradford from the Redemption Duet where he fell in love with Brooklyn in Boston. She was in love with her childhood friend Andrew who was an Hockey Star and they eventually ended up back together and Weston returned to Atlanta where he was an architect in his families firm. Ok let's see how to bring Londyn Bennett into this story. Londyn was working for a design firm but since she was one of the first to be let go because she was one of the last hired. She has packed up all of her things and decides to brave the rainy weather to get to her 🚗 car. She isn't paying attention and is almost run over by a 🚚 truck. Weston happens to be in a coffee shop and sees what is happening and pulls her to safety. Londyn is a young black woman whose mother was killed when a young man comes into the ⛪ church where her father was pastor and kills her mother and the other choir members that were there. Her father and she were in the office where he was writing his Sunday sermon. He takes her outside and puts her in the car and her friend Sawyer Ross is saved because his father falls on him to protect him. So they grow up she goes off to school and he goes to school for theology to become a Minister. He interviews for several churches and she ends up going to a school away from where she lived in VA. They end up getting married by her father to help him get this job with this church with a great congregation. Things happen while she is in school and she is raped but she has know one to support her or believe in her so she moves to Atlanta and moves in with her friend Hazel and her husband Diego. So the relationship between Weston and Londyn develop when his sister Julia hires her to help in the renovation of their Grampy and Meemaw house. This story, true to T.K Leigh's style sends you on a rollercoaster of emotions and just when you think you've figured everything out, you get hit with a mind blowing ending and what is bad enough for those who love her stories, I have to wait until next year to see how it turns out. Not only was this interracial romance handled so well, I felt like I could relate because I am a black woman living in the south whose sons date white and black woman. I have a son who is living with his girlfriend, who happens to be white. This is a relevant story in the racial climate of today and I am glad I was able to experience it through one of my favorite author's eyes. Can't wait to read Atonement.

So, I've read every book that T.K. has written and I can honestly say I close each book impressed and surprised at how refreshing the stories are and that I never feel like I've already read this type of story from her. Possession is totally different in that Weston and Londyn are an interracial couple who embark on a relationship while living in the South and surrounded by a part of society that is less than tolerant of such a coupling.
The Weston we meet in this book feels completely different than the Weston that was in the first two books of the Redemption series - Commitment and Redemption. But those books were written from the point of view of Brooklyn, Weston's ex-fiance so we only got to see him the way she saw him. The Weston in this book is still a confident, self-assured man who has the world at his fingertips, but he is still healing from the heartbreak he suffered when Brooklyn ended their engagement. His world revolves around those he holds the most dear. He has had no desire to date, especially not any of the fake socialites his mother keeps throwing at him.
Londyn sounds like someone I would love to be BFF's with!! She's also suffered through events in her past that have left her reeling and healing still, but she's forging forward with her own interior design company and upcycling business. It's that design company that lands her back in Weston's sights after their one chance encounter in the rain.
I truly love how T.K. unravels her story and characters slowly. Not only does she tell us what's happening in the story, but she takes the reader into the minds and psyche of the characters so we get an even deeper appreciation of them and not just a skim of the surface. The attraction between Weston and Londyn is undeniable, even with all the factors in place that want to work against them.
Even with the events happening in the world today, I am so glad that T.K. didn't shy away from the tough and sensitive subject matter that is included in this story. She tackles those events with reverance and a subtle grace that while it is still hard to read about, it feels almost easier to stomach with how she leads the reader through the story. And seeing how Weston and Londyn are constantly there for each other and communicate so deeply, I had nothing but love for these characters and I was rooting 100% for them to find their way to happiness. But before that can happen, T.K. hits us with the humdinger of cliffhangers!! Good grief, I'm not sure how to contain myself until the second book releases!!
For fans of the Redemption series, you are going to love Weston and Londyn. And a certain little niece that totally stole my heart! If you are starting with this book first, don't worry, T.K. does a great job of integrating into the story events from the first two books that will explain Weston's past, and I'm sure readers will want to go back and read those books as well, just because.
That cliffhanger!! Holy moly... Bring on Atonement!

Like TK mentions in the beginning there are a few scenes that may trigger extremely sensitive readers. With that being said she does approach all the sensitive subjects with great taste. So just be aware if you are a sensitive reader, there could be some triggers.
This is an interracial love story, and I have to say it was done extremely well. It does show how some people are just so damn stuck in their ways and should be put in there place. It hurts my heart to know people are still treated that way. Now, aside from that let me get on these characters.
Londyn is a strong, independent, resilient, and creative woman. When she was young a terrible tragedy happened to her family, which made her want to please her dad anyway she could. So when something came up, she just went with it. Another horrible incident happened and the people she thought she could lean on didn't believe her. Which had her make the decision to finally put herself first. That's how she ended up meeting her bestie, getting a degree, starting her own business and then meeting Weston.
Lord have mercy, Weston. That man mmm mmm mmm. Weston is a wealthy man with a great business, but deep down he just isn't happy. He's got a wonderful sister who he's close with and a niece who he'd give his life for. There was just always something missing. He was doing a job he always wanted to do, but it wasn't bringing him joy. That is until Londyn fell into his life. haha.
Londyn and Weston are perfect for each other. They are that person for each other that we all long to hopefully find. Both not ones to truly open up and share difficult details in their life just find themselves opening up to each other. Londyn shows Wes that he needs to just take some time out of each week/day to just do what he loves. Wes showed Londyn that it's okay to love. Man oh man. Just a great story, with lots of twists and turns. The other supporting characters are wonderful as well. Some are dicks that I hope karma visits, but I just have to say. READ THIS BOOK. It's a great read that will have you hooked from the very beginning.
That damn ending. I was like "OMG OMG WHAT!!!!?? NO I NEED MORE."
With all that being said 4.5 stars. Add it to your TBR lists and give it a read.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
