Book Summary:

First loves never die but Grayson Ford comes close. Bleeding out in a war zone, he barters with God. Bring him back alive, and he’ll make it right with his girl.

*All I want is Emma. I need her, and I fight for her memory. A story. A smile. Anything. But it’s all blank.*

Emma is not his girl anymore. Time has skipped by and life’s been hard. She strips to pay the bills, waitresses to fill the hours between classes and her third job. All while working to be the best mama she can be to the little girl who will never know her daddy. Even though Grayson abandoned her, she mourned his death. Until he calls, and everything she knew was wrong.

*It’s him. The him that ruined my life. That made my life. That confused my mind to the point that I can’t figure out if I’ve been destroyed or set free. The him that… is… dead.*

He’s back with one objective—Emma Kingsley—and she never sees it coming.

Longer Review:

I may have stopped everything to read this because this novella series is explosively addicting. Remember when I told you after Only For Him that I found your next new serial novella addiction? Well, it was true then and it is true now.

I devoured this book like a starving puppy.

Grayson’s alive. We know that, but no one else does. We watch while Emma grieves the only man she’s ever loved and the father of her child while she simultaneously goes to school, takes care of their child and works THREE JOBS. Holy shit, Emma is superwoman. Not kidding. She’s working her ass off to make a better life for her daughter and I could not commend her more. When Grayson reappears in her life, things get complicated, but they’re also so simple. He loves her, she loves him. They can do this, right?

The years may not have been good to Grayson, but they’ve stripped him of all pretenses. He’s all honesty, all the time and I was eating it up. His determination to fix all that is wrong with him and Emma is adorable and incredibly endearing. I mean, the text he sent Emma SLAYED ME. I love them together even more than after reading Only for Him – *swoon*

This story is perfection. Cristin pulls you in, makes you love the characters as deeply as they love each other and leaves you off with a cliffhanger that makes you grasp the air for more. I love love love this story and Cristin’s writing. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. #MorePlease
