She’s the girl he left behind. He’s the boy she tried to forget. But after seven years apart, one passionately reckless night will tie them together forever…

As teenagers, Callie Ironside and Lewis Adair were inseparable. So much so, Lewis still can’t work out where it all went horribly wrong, or why he’s spent the last seven years in London away from the love of his life.

Callie knows exactly where it all went wrong and while she tried to move on—learning pastry techniques in Paris and dating French men—returning home to Ardnoch to work in her mother’s bakery, only reminds her of the future she lost with Lewis.

But when a visit to London brings them unexpectedly together, the passion, pain and animosity between them leads to a one-night stand. For Lewis, it’s the beginning of winning Callie and his life in Ardnoch back. For Callie, it’s a mistake that’s shaken up the devastating heartbreak she fought hard to forget. However, Lewis is determined to fight for her, and proves it when their night together results in more than just unresolved feelings.

As they come to grips with impending parenthood and the mistakes they’ve both made, Callie and Lewis will not only have to decide to fight for a love that has endured so many years apart, but a mysterious adversary who seems intent on destroying the future they’re building together.

Review

“I know what I want now. I want you, here, for the rest of my life.”

4.5 stars

The fifth book in The Highlands series, this is a second-generation story and a beautiful second chance romance for Lewis and Callie.

Lewis the son of Thane Adair from There with You (Adair Family, #2), and Callie is the daughter of Sloane from Beyond the Thistles (The Highlands, #1). We saw them as children in their parents’ books as they became the best of friends, and as they grew, that friendship turned into soul-deep love, until it heartbreakingly fell apart. Now, it’s seven years later, Lewis is living in London and Callie has just returned to the Highlands after spending 3 years studying in Paris. They are unexpectedly reunited on a night out in London, old passions ignite, and they share an electrifying night together before Callie returns home in the morning,. It’s then that Lewis decides it’s time for him to finally come home and claim his girl.

Aaahh, I love a second chance romance, and they’re childhood sweethearts, so I was in heaven! I already loved little Lewis and little Callie, and seeing them together as teenagers and so in love in flashbacks had me quickly invested in them as a couple.

“I love you,” I whispered.
He sighed and leaned his forehead against mine. “Never stop, he pleaded hoarsely. “Because I’ll never stop loving you.”

Their break-up was nasty, and there’s so much hurt between them. Callie has held on to her anger all these years, but Lewis never let go and still pines for his first love, and wants nothing more than to win her back. He has a battle on his hands to get past Callie’s defences, but she has been left shaken from their night together and he is determined and shamelessly in love (be still my heart), and he has no intention of letting her get away from him again.

“Don’t you dare go all caveman on me, Lewis Adair. I am not some thing to be stolen. I belong only to me.”
“And me.” He pounded his fist passionately against his chest.
I’d never seen him so agitated. Not even when we’d broken up.
A shiver skated down my spine at the blazing look in his eyes.
“As I belong to you.”

It all becomes more complicated when Callie learns that she’s pregnant from their night together. Finally forced to confront Lewis, their past, and their still-strong feelings for each other, everything begins to change for these two, and I was right on board watching them finally start to make their way back to each other.

“Everything is going to change.”
“Not everything,” he promised. “Not the way I love you.”
I let out a shuddering breath. “I have always loved you too. Always only ever you.”

There is a touch of mystery/suspense which, in my opinion, doesn’t really add much to the story, but it doesn’t detract either, it’s just there. I’m here for the romance, and this is a beautiful, sweet, sexy and swoony love story for two people who are so meant to be.

We get to see a bit of progression for the couples from earlier books in this series, as well as the whole extended Adair clan, and God, I love them! The scene with them all together had me laughing out loud, and I love their banter and how close they all are. Lewis’ younger sister Eilidh has also come a long way since we met her as a child, and looks to be the focus of the next book in the series – I’m calling it right now and predict a brother’s best friend romance, and I cannot wait to get my hands on that one!

I loved this book. It’s a sweet story with lots of heart, and such a gorgeous read.

4.5 stars.
