OMG, the feels! The angst! The heartache! There is SO much pain and misunderstanding between these two, and initially it’s a really hard read as Prentice lays into Bella and she just takes it, thinking she deserves no better. Prentice has no time for Isabella, thinking her a stuck-up snob who toyed with him all those years ago, but their meddling friends are about to put them together, forcing a confrontation that has been a long time coming. And now, with his best friend marrying Bella’s best friend, he has to spend time with the woman who destroyed him all those years ago. And then his wife, Fiona died, leaving him a broody widower and single father. He married and had two beautiful children, and he was happy. When she left Scotland, she left him shattered, but he was able to move on. And now she’s about to face up to the heartbreak from her past as she travels back to Scotland for her best friend’s wedding, where she will come face to face with the man who broke her heart, but the man who still completely owns it. She’s a broken woman who lives a lonely life that is out of her control, and she struggles to get through day to day. On the outside, socialite Isabella Austin Evangelista is a woman who has it all – class, wealth, confidence and a life that others only dream of.

But that love was torn away and now, 20 years later, she is a shadow of the girl she used to be.

With two adorable children and a very cleverly done supernatural element, this story is full of feels, but brings a happy ending to very deserving characters that I couldn’t help but love.īella was once a happy, idealistic girl in blissful, all-consuming love. Love, love, love this one! A gorgeously emotional second-chance-romance between a hot and broody Scotsman, and a lost and emotionally damaged woman – first loves and the ones who got away, reunited after 20 years apart.
