When Josie Mays returned to her hometown of Castille, Maine, she wanted to say goodbye to the past and start a new future. Then the "past" loomed up in the form of Cole Danforth, Josie's former love who has now turned into a ruthless CEO out for revenge on the town that failed him.
Though Josieis convinced her ocean-loving boy still exists behind Cole's toughened veneer, Cole is determined to shut her out. But not even this cold tycoon can resist the cherry-sweet, talented artist he once loved with his whole heart.
Just as Josie and Cole are starting to find their way back to each other, the tragedy that tore them apart years ago returns to threaten everything they are. And when Josie discovers the secret Cole has been keeping, his worst nightmare comes true.
The reading order of the WHAT IF series is:
IF WE LEAP
IF WE FALL
IF WE FLY
This is the stunning conclusion to Cole and Josie's love story... and I gotta say, the author definitely saved the best for last.
I'm not really knowledgeable about selective amnesia but I guess it's quite plausible that you can unconsciously will your brain to block something so tragic and traumatic.
In this book, questions had been answered and all the missing pieces came into light.
This one gave me all the feels—some parts made my belly flutter with butterflies running amuck; some parts triggered my anxiety; and some parts pulled on my heartstrings—good thing I had a box of Kleenex on stand-by.
I loved it! I fell in love with Cole and Josie page after page until the very end. I wish there was a longer epilogue though... If you're a fan of sexy, angsty and emotional romance, this is the best book to pick up next.
