I love a good fated mates tale. This one was good, it had a little bit of everything: heartbreak, instant connection, intrigue, and a cute baby. Together Winter and Creed forge ahead with a life neither one planned for, but that the universe saw fit for them to have. As they learn more about each other and parenthood the sparks start to fly. When Creed starts to get suspicious about how Richard and Caroline died, the author takes you on a little detour that I didn’t necessarily see coming. The secondary story line of suspense and intrigue was just enough to keep the story fresh and interesting without overpowering the primary romantic story line.

Overall, a great story. I can’t wait for the next one in the series.

Giovanna (Gia) Reaves is the alter ego for a dreamer. A dreamer who spends her days and nights creating worlds from her imagination. Being an avid reader, allowed Gia’s imagination to take hold. With the encouragement of her loved ones, Gia has given in to the voices in her head, putting their words and wolds to paper. Gia is also a mother, wife, and veteran. Gia is also a serious chocoholic and loves to read MM Romance just as much as she loves writing them. The sweeter the better, especially, on a snowy or rainy day is how she likes to fill her days when she is not writing.
