Revived is a single dad, a forbidden romance which is told from the first-person point of view and is an emotional and heart-gripping addition to the Emerson Falls series. "See you on the other side of the stars"
Luke was loving his life as a Sheriff's deputy, newly married man and father until one dreadful night when he lost his wife unexpectedly. He shut himself out from the world until his family brings him back into the world. When Luke's mother gets hurt and can no longer take care of Grayson, he is forced to hire a nanny. Rachel has just moved to Emerson Falls to start her own independent life away from her empty feeling life in New York. She is forced to wait until the fall to start her dream job so she agrees to meet Piper's friend who is looking for a nanny like yesterday. Shocked to find out it is the same dad of the little boy she fell in love with only the day before. Luke is having feelings again for the first time since his late wife and Rachael are slowly falling for her boss who is broken. Rachael's hope is that she can help Luke come back to full life again and move on but not forget his first love.
Harlow James has a serious way with words and the emotional fierceness of this story was unbelievable and I totally ugly cried. Grayson was one of the most energetic little boys and so loveable. Rachael was perfect for Luke with her love and patience. It was great to also connect with the other couples in Emerson Falls and they are a great group of friends. I highly recommend this entire series and I am excited to see what comes next from Harlow James.
