SYNOPSIS

Nick is about to head overseas on an adventure of a lifetime. It’s what he has always wanted, to travel the world, to experience new cultures, see the places he’s dreamed of for so long. He should be over the moon. Instead, he’s been in a slump ever since he lost his friend Em.

Nick is a player, always has been. The first time he ever wanted more from a girl he was shot down. So now he’s left licking his wounds. Emma made her choice and now Nick has to live with it.

Or does he? When he finds out that Emma is single after all, will he fight for her? Will he be able to convince her to give him a chance? And if he does, what will happen when he leaves?

Nick has reached a crossroads in his life - the girl or the dream. Seems like an easy choice when the girl of his dreams is Emma. But what if she doesn't see things the same way?

She has always had a creative side and loves to let her imagination run wild. On a few occasions over the years, Megan has put those imaginings into a written story, but never dreamed of publishing. She has always loved to read, but it wasn’t until she got given a Kindle that it became a full-blown addiction. Her introduction to the world of Indie Authors re-ignited her passion for writing.

MY REVIEW

My Rating = A life changing FIVE!

*ARC provided by the author in exchange for my honest review

Please do NOT read this review if you have not read the first book in the series – Finding my Way as it full of spoilers and outlines what happened. Book one sets up the plot line and back story so is imperative for the reading of this second book.

When reading Finding My Way it exhausting reading all the POVs, the history and family entanglements but it was upon starting this second book that I found it was well worth the investment of time and understanding. It gave the most intense background that made the reading of this second book like a necessity and I just had to make sure Emma, Nick and Seth got their HEA. It was like coming home and curling up with your most favourite people – in this case Emma and Nick. We were left with Emma ending her relationship with Seth because even though she knew she loved him on some level and he ticked all the boxes she should need to tick but he wasn't for her. On the other hand Nick was totally not right for her, he had no solid background, he was a player and man whore but he made her feel alive and something so much more!

So it was with a heavy heart we left the first book with Seth moving to another part of the country and Nick breaking all contact. So Emma was right back where she started, on her own but this time with a wealth of understanding who she was and what she finally wanted out of life. She would no longer ever be the amenable and compliant girl she had been, this time she was all for herself and making her life what she wanted it to be. But then she sees Nick in a nightclub with his arms around another girl and it sucker punches her in the heart.

Oh I loved this book! I loved both Seth and Nick in book one, obviously for different reasons as they were entirely different types of people but Nick was what Emma needs. This book doesn't really refer to Seth at all (he will get his story in New Beginnings – the third book) but was entirely Emma and Nick POVs. It delved into both their trials and tribulations, their wants and their needs. They really opened up their feelings and although there were still some misunderstandings and insecurities, both were willing to fight for a relationship together and live for now. The only blot on the landscape was that Nick had, whilst they were apart, booked to go on his travels to Europe. So how would a separation again so soon impact on their new and fragile relationship?

We finally get to see some action between the sheets with Em and Nick and oh my wordy how HAWT it was! Nick is a Greek god with a body to die for and the way the author has written the erotic action and intensity was amazing. I want a Nick! Ems is so effing lucky!

I cannot recommend this series any higher, it really is a fabulous storyline. Yes book one is a lot to get through but book two totally rocks it! Brilliant and a well-deserved five star rating from me!
