“I loved you then, I love you now, and I’ll love you until my dying day.”
To the rest of the world, he was the little boy who went missing on the Fourth of July. But to Sydney Neville, he was everything. Her heart hasn’t been the same since her best friend disappeared, but she’s learned to build her life around that missing piece. Twenty-two years later, the last thing Sydney expects is for Oliver Lynch to return. Having been captive underground for decades, he’s unfamiliar with the strange new world that awaits him, but he’s alive. He’s here. And no matter how he’s changed, he and Sydney both still feel the connection that runs between them. But as their reborn friendship begins to feel like something more, Sydney and Oliver realize there are still jagged, painful truths creating space between them. The walls Sydney’s built don’t want to come down, and as Oliver hunts for his missing memories and lost time, he realizes his nightmare is not yet over. With nothing as it seems, is there space for love to bloom in this dark place?
Another winner for Hartmann. She really is quickly becoming one of my top authors to read! This book. This man. I was hooked. Not going to lie, the story reminded me so much of Archer’s Voice. Makes me want to reread that one with the whole inexperienced men. This one wasn’t as dark as I was hoping it would be, but boy did I swoon, giggle, and fall in love with these two characters. This author sure knows how to throw us unique reads and this was no different, I’ve not read anything like it before.
I rated this novel four stars. These characters will always have a special place in my heart, I loved their journey, the love they shared even at such a young age was so heartfelt, the author did such an amazing job with these two. The only issue I had was that it was quite predictable. I am exciting to read on Gabe’s story next!
