Loved this story!There is attraction between the H/h from the beginning. Getting around societal rules and traditions is the issue. At least for Ikem. He already had to watch Nneka marry someone else two years earlier because of his "lowly" birth. He is determined not to lose her again. While attracted to Ikem, young widow, Nneka has other ideas in mind for the life she wants after her period of mourning ends.The beauty of the story is watching it unfold, watching assumptions dispelled, watching anxieties fade, watching trust grow, and then love. Nneka comes to realize things about herself and Ikem she'd never even considered. She found her long held beliefs based on her tragic childhood and weak marriage were wrong. Once she let her guard down, the sparks really flew between the two.I'm an Ikem fan! His lineage may be considered unsavory, but I think that just makes him unique! #TeamIkemEvery good story has to have a villain, and Nneka's brother-in-law, Edozie, more than fits the bill. We knew Nneka, Ikem and Obinna had a low opinion of Edozie, but it would have been interesting to know what his father thought of him, and also suspected him of being involved in Ofonna's death. (Jerk!)The last scene is swoon-worthy! There are declarations, validation...and warm fuzzies!Read it!
