This is the story of two people who had grown up together, neighbours and best friends until one betrayed the other and both went in separate ways both lead very different lives, and now maybe fate has bought them back together, this story is really well written and takes in some controversial subjects, that effect people in life today and MS Dahlia has done it well.
Esther Woodhall grew up in what most people would see as a normal church going family, but if people looked closer they would see that the church in their family rules and Esther was not always happy, but she had her best friend and neighbour Jordon, they spent a lot of time together talking about life in general, Jordon and his family belonged to the church as well but yes Jordon was male. Just before Esther turned fourteen her life changed dramatically and at the age of sixteen she did something that was desperate and in the end left her alone and pregnant, eight years later she runs into her friend Jordon.
Jordon Stojanov felt so deceived and betrayed when Esther encouraged him into her bed and then wouldn’t have anything to do with him, and with his family falling apart, at eighteen he did what he thought was right and took off to Hong Kong to study engineering and he has done well he now owns his own company but he has never forgotten his best friend Esther, and to say he is stunned when eight years later he ends up naked in a hotel lobby and Esther is there.
I really enjoyed this story but is it hot and steamy and there is BDSM in this one, Ester and Jordon have a very explicit sexual and emotional journey to a beautiful HEA, but this story deals with the emotions that these two have gone through in the past and opens them up in the now, Esther and her daughter Ashia have struggled with Ashia’s deafness and trying to make ends meet, Jordon has done well and lives well but he also has things that he needs to come to terms with, but to win Esther over he has to work hard she is a very strong and independent woman now who knows what she wants for herself and her daughter. This is a story that had me turning the pages, and I look forward to more in this series.
4/5 stars
