Review

" I can exist without you, Dahlia. But I can 't live without you. Don't make me."

Dahlia and Michael love each other from the first look in the eyes but life is not so simple and ends up putting many obstacles in the way to make they come together. Mistakes of both parties, words not spoken, apathy and depression consume these souls.

Dahlia is a beautiful, cheerful and determined woman who has suffered a lot in the past and has risen from the ashes, believing that she moves on, returns to her hometown, willing to make amends and stay with her father for a while. But she discovers that she've put the ashes of her broken heart under the rug and will need to find the strength to face ghosts from the past being one of them Michael.

Michael is a detective, good, loyal and loving man who had to move on after a tragedy of the past. When he meets Dahlia and knows everything that has haunted her and separated them, he decides that it is more than time to wear his man's pants and fight for the woman he loves.

Narrated in the first person by Dahlia and in third from Michael's point of view, the book brings present and past to make us connect to this beautiful and suffering love story. A real roller coaster of emotions filled with tears and sighs. A story about how we need to open our hearts to those we love and not leave things unsaid.

A journey of penance, strength and resilience with touches of humor and suspense with all the couples from previous books bringing dynamism and more emotions to the plot and preparing us for the next book. I want it for yesterday, can it be, Samantha Young?

4/5 stars
