'Simultaneously deliciously intense and achingly tender. The authentic push and pull of this complex relationship is sure to resonate with readers' Publishers Weekly

Sometimes it's what you don't say that can change everything...

Isabel Winton had planned to spend the last few days of her marriage at her vacation home, intending to reflect, regroup...or maybe just do some solitary sulking. Instead, she collides with her almost ex, Paul, who has the same idea. Too stubborn to leave, Isabel figures this is a chance for them to get some closure. But she's astonished to see that months apart have transformed her emotionally aloof husband into 'Paul 2.0', more open than ever before.

Paul was blindsided when Isabel left him. He had no idea she felt he was more committed to his career than to their marriage. With his new, hard-won self-awareness, he blames himself for letting her walk away. But winning her back will take more than simple words. It'll mean finding the courage to grow, to trust, and grab a second chance at life by each other's sides.

I love second chance romances. They always tend to leave me so hopeful about the world in general, but I have really been loving these second chance romances between married couples.

It was almost a year since Isabel left Paul. They had been sparring over the details of their divorce, and now, the day was almost here. In some sort of preparation for D-day, both Isabel and Paul decided to take a little weekend getaway to their vacation home. However, neither expected, or was prepared, to see the other. It was supposed to be the end, but it may have turned into a new beginning for them.

This was very sweet and emotional. Endings make me sad, and seeing a marriage dissolve really puts some tears in my eyes, but Rimmer gave these two a great setup for finally getting some closure, and maybe figuring out where it all went wrong.

There were some really ugly and intense moments, as well as some really hot moments, but what I loved most, was how Isabel and Paul learned to listen to and be honest with each other. Paul especially made a lot of progress since Isabel walked out. He spent the year in therapy and finding life/work balance.

I found myself feeling very hopeful about this couple, and I was rooting for them the whole time. I adore seeing two people in love working through their issues and really fighting for each other, and I felt like I got that with this book. It also had an adorable ending, which left me with a big grin on my face.
