Review

This is a sweet little novella featuring Nick – the ‘other man’ who got booted out of the picture in Forever My Girl.

I was a little torn about this novella, because as much as I liked Nick, he was a bit of a jerk towards the end of Forever My Girl. But I appreciated getting his perspective on things, and I liked that we got to see flashbacks of his time with Josie so we could understand more about their relationship, and my heart did break a little bit for him while reading it.

The book starts with Nick volunteering at a clinic in Africa, and we get to see him find his HEA with fellow volunteer Aubrey. Things between them progress really quickly, but both of them are no-nonsense, and extremely functional, so it works.

But the main focus of the book is Nick’s relationship with Noah. Nick is mourning him, and regretting the way he left things with Noah, and I liked that he recognised his douchey ways. His return to Beaumont in the second half of the book allows him to make amends, and I thought it was done really beautifully. I actually got a bit teary at their reunion!

There is nothing really ground breaking that happens, so it’s probably not a necessary part of the series, but it’s a nice little filler that provides more depth to the characters, and it made me smile. I’m really looking forward to the next book.

3 stars.
