Angelisa Stone again brings us the O’Donnell family and their drama. A son that wanted nothing to do with the family and money that they possessed in “Can’t Go Home” and now Tristan – the son who is looking for nothing but approval from his father. An emotional and sexy story was woven by Ms. Stone in a touching, heartfelt story about two people who need to find forgiveness and self-appreciation while finding their way to love.Tristen and Leah were both wonderful and brilliant characters throughout this book. Leah living with the guilt of lying about Tristan. Tristan living with the guilt of what he was accused of and never charged with. When they come face to face in his father’s office, sparks again fly. But, Leah is having a hard time with seeing him again. Then there is Thomas, her boyfriend, who feels that she should just keep going forward and not look back.With the help of Piper, Adrian and Kathryn, Leah finally comes to terms with the deceit and tells Tristan the truth. Now, it’s up to him how he will handle the betrayal and his ever-growing feelings for Leah. A pact he has made with his father and Leah’s decisions in life bring them together only to tear them apart again as Leah pushes him away. The one thing that brings them back together again is also the one thing that makes Tristan break the pact with his father and may cause him to lose everything.I was enthralled with Can’t Go Without. Tristan and Leah both had ghosts that they were living with and the struggle that they both went through to get to that Happily Ever After was written in such as way that your heart honestly broke for both of them. You understood why Leah did what she did and you understood why Tristan was acting as the bad-boy. But, you also understood that both of them were living lies – knowing that they were in love with the other one and refused to face the facts. Real life problems written by an author who has a way of bringing the problems full circle with characters that you fall in love with, respect and look forward to seeing more of.Review copy provided for an honest review
