Blurb:

A long time ago…

I was young and naive. I thought I could save the world. I thought that protecting those around me from hurt and pain was what I was born to do. She made me feel that way. Ava Links, the little girl who was too fucking stubborn for her own good. The little girl who absorbed the hurt and pain of everyone around her and tried to bring sunshine to them all. The little girl who didn’t give a damn if people picked on her about wearing a crown and tutu every day. A little girl who somehow looked at me, expecting—no, damn near demanding—I protect her.

I saw the pain she hid, and as I grew older, I understood that pain. The pain of being so much to so many that there is really never a “you”.

I took control of my life…

I had to get away from everyone who pulled at me in order to claim myself. When I became the man I was destined to be, I began to live. Then, one drunken night, Ava Links, no longer a little girl, said the right damn thing to me, and everything changed. After seven years of fucking her while home on leave with no expectations, now my life is out of control…

One bad dream, one I love you, one night of pushing her the hell out of my life, one drummer stealing her heart, and one explosion took everything away.

Lies are told.

Lies are unraveling.

Lies are going to destroy.

These are my truths.

This book is not a flowing continuance to Ava’s story. It gives us small glimpses of the previous story from Luke’s POV and shows how he as well is grieving and suffering, in much need of physical and emotional healing.
Both Luke and Ava are broken, grieving each in their own way, both blaming themselves for things they are not guilty of and can’t be changed, but that’s life. This couple go through the process of accepting and learning to live with the losses in their lives, that love can be everlasting and ever changing, that not all love is the same and that one can find it more than once in a lifetime.
Luke has always loved Ava, but by pushing her away he changed both their destinies. She found a different kind of love in Tommy, but she never stops loving Luke. Then there’s the love they both have for the children and, of course, the lies told in the name of love.
In my opinion, this book didn’t have the gripping quality of the previous one, but in good MJ Fields’ fashion flows easily and tells a heartbreaking story that will make you cry and laugh and love her all the same.4 stars
