Can a long lost love mend a grieving heart?

Widowed at twenty-three, Savannah Grant is devastated and consumed with grief, a grief that she can't seem to move past. When her high school sweetheart, Lance Peterson, re-enters her life, Savannah struggles with the feeling that she would be betraying her deceased husband by moving on. Plus, she can't forget the way Lance broke her heart all those years ago.

Lance never stopped loving Savannah. He wants a second chance, and he's willing to do anything it takes to convince her to give him one. Will she give in and let Lance love her, showing her a passion beyond anything she thought possible?

My Review:

Oh man! Have the tissues ready! I can’t even imagine the pain of losing my husband the way that Savannah does. This is a wonderful story of love, loss and taking a chance on second chances. I was new to Tamaria Soana’s stories and she manages to pack so much emotion and story into a novella that I would love to see what she could do with a longer story.

I loved that Savannah’s best friend Nikki played such a big role in getting her out there. I definitely related to the idea of a best friend pushing the heroine to live her life. The story flows well and it definitely kept me hooked as the story moved forward.

I enjoyed both Savannah and Lance but for me this was truly Savannah’s journey. I was inspired by her love and loyalty to her late husband and rooted for and was so proud that she was willing to open herself up to love again.

Overall, I’d easily give Ms. Soana’s books a read in the future. She does a remarkably amazing job with this story. I think everyone should try it if they aren’t afraid of real emotions.
