Oh my heart! It ached, it beat wildly, it rejoiced...it fell in love. I feel like each and every book I read by Mia Sheridan touches me deeply. Her characters always live very different lives than the one I've experienced, yet she's able to put me in their shoes. She has me feeling their sorrows, crying along with them, and feeling their love as if it were my own. And, once again, she's done it...she's dropped me into a story that's captured my imagination and filled my soul. 
 Preston and Lia come from vastly different worlds yet, as we already know, the heart can't see difference...it only recognizes it's mate. The problem is that the heart and the head aren't always in sync. Preston is a man of honor, even when he's just a little boy. He believes in sticking to his word and, because of this, he almost loses the chance at happiness. Beginning when they're young and moving through the trials they face well into adulthood, this story shows us that sometimes fighting for what you want, even against those you love, is the honorable and right thing to do. And that, when it's meant to be, love will wait...it will not be denied. 
 I'm not telling you much here, not because I don't want to gush and flail, but because this is a story you need to experience for yourself. You need to give yourself the permission to feel the happiness, the pain, and the frustration. You need to bask in the love and cry all the tears. Then come back and we'll talk...or laugh...or cry together! Enjoy!
