Van Den Bosch #5
Julia.
“My wife’s loyalty was absolute. Or so I thought...” - Sebastian
The instant I locked eyes with Julia van Dieren, it was as if the universe conspired to halt time.
A profound pull I'd never felt before overtook me, more than just attraction or fascination. It was as if my soul, dormant for so long, had been stirred by a melody only she could invoke.
While Julia became my solace, her mother, the formidable Margaret van Dieren, became determined to put an end to it. With every disapproving glance and hushed whisper, she wove a web of dissent, aiming to tear us apart.
Yet, nothing could prepare me for the heart-wrenching blow that fate had in store. A tragedy, unforeseen and devastating, descended upon us, shaking the very foundations of my world.
In a room echoing with tales of all sorts, our own story began—a tale of hopeful beginnings, tested by adversity, only to be irrevocably altered by a cruel twist of fate I might never recover from.

Disappointing!
Their history dragged on and on pretty much reiterating the same feelings over and over and then to leave off again at the wedding? A waste of a book if you ask me.

This book was the hardest of the books to read of all the series so far. Julia is very dedicated to Sebastian and Sebastian is equally devoted to him. It makes you want to believe in love at first sight and that you can be with anyone no matter what. This is very powerful and leaves you wanting to read what happens In Sebastian’s book.
