Fantastic Story & Narration🎧 Gripping & Heartfelt!

This book is fantastic, the story grabs your attention right from the start and captivates it the entire time. It is my first book written by Maria Imbalzano and it will not be my last. I enjoyed her writing style, the characters and storylines she created are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with. The lead female, Nicki Reading, is strong, independent & career focused, she is successful in many aspects of her life but she does have her faults, faults that are guilt driven. She is does not get involved with men for the long term, she prefers her partners with no strings attached. That changes when she meets Dex Hanover or so she thought. Dex Hanover is also strong, independent and career focused, the only difference is he is looking to settle down and start a family with that special someone. He thinks he found that person in Nicki, the chemistry between is electric and undeniable but is that enough since they do not share the same sentiment. I was rooting for these two, I thought they were great together and for each other. It was heartbreaking to see how Nicki’s inner demons controlled her life, guilt is an ugly monster to live with. This story is beautifully written and plotted, there is never a dull moment, it is filled with plenty of drama, angst, heartfelt and emotional moments and wonderful, yet sometimes heartbreaking romance. I loved the relationship of the sworn sisters and the camaraderie amongst them. Maria Imbalzano, thank you for this fantastic story and the emotional rollercoaster ride.
