LOVED this story!
A story about being true to yourself and your dreams. Not giving up and second chances at love. Or even third chances lol.
Alex's confidence was injured after his body was injured, this is a story of him healing in many forms.
Lita gave up her dreams and later learned what she wanted was just as important. I loved it wasn't an insta easy to be together story. The couple had to learn to adjust to their altered realities and be true to what they wanted.
A short story that is part of the Forever Young Series a well written story that held my interest throughout. This is a new Author to me and I will be looking for more by her. Alex Houston and Lita Reigns meet again at their ten year high school reunion, things have not gone the way either of them planned back then. I enjoyed reading their story.
