Adrian and Mia's story is so sweet and yet so stunning. Adrian likes to spoil Mia - as she well deserves but theirs is a story two decades in the making.
We learn right away that Adrian and Mia have a history. They were together 20 years ago, and they were each others firsts for many things.
Adrian tracks Mia down in Canada, after waiting so long to see one another. Her cousins have kept him informed of her marriage and later her divorce. He has waited a respectable year, and now wants to start thing again with the love of his life. If she will have him,
Mia is almost bowled over by just the sight of seeing Adrian again. Her reaction is a good one - since once she has seen him and held his gaze again - she can think of nothing else but being in his arms once more.
The difference now, is that they are both parents, older and wiser, and still the very air sizzles when they look into each others eyes. All Adrian wants is another chance. Mia wants that too. But life has a way of causing you stress and grief. In the 20 years they have been apart Mia has had several traumas happen and her fears crept in.
The divorce being the most recent toll - she tries to remain friends with her ex-husband, start a new relationship up with Adrian, and still be a good mother to her 2 children.
Her family ends up loving him and they see each other often. They heat up whenever they are in the same room. It is so amazing - but there is still real fear for Mia in how fast they are moving along. Even though this is a 2nd chance for them both, it is still so quick. They cannot seem to be apart.
I found this book very endearing and sincere. Love is hard the first time around and the 2nd time there are more obstacles. Anyone who has been in a relationship or married for any length can relate to this story I believe. I love how her family and friends were so supportive and the story came together really nice! Good read!!
