In Wright that Got Away, Linde delivered an emotional second chance romance. This was one of my most anticipated books for this year and it lived up to my expectations.
Wright That Got Away tells Campbell and Blaire’s story. It was clear from their appearances in the last few books in the series; they had history. Also, judging by Blaire’s current reaction to Campbell, things ended on a bad note. Wright that Got Away reveals the heartbreaking truth.
It took eight years for Blaire to put the pain of the past behind her. However, Campbell’s unexpected return reopened old wounds. Staying out of his way would have been possible if not for the fact they shared the same circle of friends. The big question is, will Blaire find it in her heart to forgive Campbell, and can he convince her he is a changed man?
Blaire’s actions puzzled me at first, and I thought to myself she needed to let it go. Yes, Campbell broke her heart, but eight years is a long time to hold a grudge. But then I learned of his actions that opened the door to all the pain and heartache, and I wanted to shake him. Now I understood the reason for Blaire’s actions. Loss, pain and heartbreak dogged her doorsteps.
Now I am not saying I am excusing Campbell’s actions back then, but I understood the reasons behind it. Youth, immaturity, the desire to pursue a dream and selfishness played a major role in his actions. Eight years later, without a doubt, Campbell has outgrown his eighteen-year-old self. A famous rock star who owned his mistakes and was ready to make amends. The fact he still loved his high school sweetheart made for a bittersweet reunion.
I absolutely adored this second chance romance. They made a great couple, and it warned my heart when Blaire gave Campbell a second chance. Watching them working through their issues was such a delight, but all was not perfect. Problems with crazed fans, paparazzi, social media trolls, secrets from the past and issues close to home threatened to destroy it all. The events unfolded in a manner, which gave insight into their strength as individuals and as a couple.
The secondary characters added depth to the story. It was also great reuniting with characters from the previous books in this series and the Cruel series. The story was well written, well paced and packed full of emotions. This one will definitely give you all the feels.
Wright that Got Away proved to be a captivating read. It delivered a steamy romance, humour and heartbreaking moments. This will definitely appeal to fans second chance romance.
