Everyone has dreams and most of us manage to find the courage and know how to push on till those dreams come true.  But it is of course not always everything you want, and when we get there it is sometimes too late to go back.  You have no choice but to live your dream and forget about what you've lost on the way to get to your dream.In the new Louise Reynolds read this is the case for both Lara and Jake. They both set out to find their dreams leaving behind each other and also life as they knew it. Lara because deceit had taken it's toll and Jake because he wanted to make something of himself,  but tragedy strikes and brings their roads together again. Lara has her biggest dream within her grasp and Jake has his standing right in front of him, now all Jake needs to do is convince Lara to stay and forget about her dream but having left her behind before means that this time getting her to stay in his arms will be the ultimate test of faith.The characters of Lara and Jake were both very nicely written by the author and I adored that the author let this read be a couple reuniting story!  I loved that Lara pushed so hard for her dreams , what really got me was her doing so with the "I need to get away from here " element it showed her as a real character to me, most of us prefer to run away from our problems instead of facing them head-on. I adored how the author slowly lets Lara find her way back home and to what is important in life.The character of Jake was oh-so-very-yummy-kiss-me-now-and-don't-you stop material. I loved that the author let him try to be a worthy person and make something of himself. I have heard many stories of men that left behind the woman of their dreams because of this and of that but never have I ever heard of them going back or trying to get a second chance, they simply let it go and moved on, dealing with feelings of emptiness for the rest of their lives. Jake doing the right thing so to speak really got to my heart and I could not get enough of him!The backdrop settings were vivid and very well incorporated by the author. I loved the dialogue, it was emotional, passionate and insightful. I am taking a way a message of we all need to work hard to achieve our dreams but when the dream is within your grasp take a minute to stop and think about what you might be leaving behind,  for another chance might not come around, be certain it is what you want and not just you running away or after something you can live without.I recommend this read for any romance fan, it was a quick and easy read sweet and sensual and had a very nice emotional tear jerker ending!5/5 star review" He wants her back , but she is holding onto the past"Copy provided the author in exchange for a honest review
