I fell in love with a boy who became my everything. Keane Stone was my first love. I thought Iโd grow old with him.We had a future filled with promises, until one fateful night. One tragic accident, and just like that, he slipped into a coma. For years, I clung to hope; holding on to every ‘what if.’But life doesnโt stand still. Eventually, I had to learn how to live again. Grief clung to me like a second skin when Haydn Wesford came into my life. Heโs a professional hockey goalie with a natural instinct to protect. He showed up just when I needed someone the most. Loving Haydn was like taking my first real breath in years. He made me laugh when I thought Iโd forgotten how and made me believe in second chances. Just as Haydn and I were about to build a life of our own, everything came crashing down. Keane woke up.I canโt abandon him . Haydn, being the man he is, agrees to help bring Keane home and get him back on his feet. But as days turn into weeks, feelings I thought were buried begin to stir. I remember the promises Keane and I made, the future we dreamed up together. Now Iโm standing at a crossroadsโcaught between the man who is my past and the one who would be my future. Iโm torn in two. Two hearts. Two futures. And only one choice. How do you let go of your first love when heโs standing right in front of you? How do you choose the man you needโฆ without breaking the heart of the one you canโt seem to let go of?The fault in forever is that sometimes love isnโt enough. And now, I have to decide who I amโand who I canโt live withoutโbefore I lose them both. Available in all retailers where e-books are sold.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 3.5 Stars
Iโm torn about this bookโฆ I donโt normally enjoy love triangles, but I was intrigued by the blurb for this book, and the idea of an ex suddenly reappearing, and how Keaneโs presence would impact the new life Ophelia created with Hadyn. While I enjoyed parts of this book very much, I some things were unexplained by the time I got to the end. There were other parts that felt repetitive and yet others that even felt like a missing plot hole. And I felt like I was kind of dropped into the middle of a story at times; things I hoped would be further explained in later chapters were not. I was hoping for some kind of full flashback chapter about the accident. Keaneโs brother just let her be his guardian? What the heck happened between Rowan and Constantine? Ophelia ended up with the guy I was rooting for at the end, but the second epilogue threw me for a loop and there was so much more to Keane than I initially thought. Overall, not a bad read, but not everything was tied up in a bow the way I would have liked it to be. I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
