This novella really packed a punch in a short amount of pages. Most second chance romances have some sort of drama in the past that kept the couple from having their happily ever after. This one really wasn’t any different, but the drama didn’t end ten years ago when they broke up. Bree hates the military because her dad died while in service, so when Marc announces he’s joined the army, she tells him never to talk to her again. For ten years her hatred of the military festers because they not only stole her dad, but then they stole the love of her life and the father of her child as well.Poor Marc, I felt so bad for him when he finally learned that he was a dad. On one hand, Bree could have tried harder to contact him, but on the other, he never contacted her or anyone in town either. She thought he received the one letter she sent, he thought she never wanted to talk to him or see him again. The heat and love is still very much there between them, but the hurt and anger outweighs it by a lot. It’s really great how this book plays out and how Ben, their son, handles everything. Kids are definitely very resilient.Kate Davies does a great job working with a sensitive issue. Both sides are clearly defined and thought out. And both arguments have merit. I felt horrible for everyone involved, but I love the way that things ended.Arc provided by the publisher via Netgalley
