This is a beautiful story and was such a fabulous read, there are a lot of emotions and MS Christensen has taken on a lot of topics that have been in the news lately and highlighted them so well. I first met Celia the heroine in this story in Isobel’s Promise (which is an awesome story) and I was really hoping she got her own story, she really deserved a HEA and she got one.
Celia Ramsey was once a top Australian model beautiful and such a lovely personality , she married a rugby player Bill and they had two beautiful daughters, but life in the spotlight soon took a downhill run for Celia her husband was a bully and turned against his daughters. Celia finally got the courage to leave him and start a new life running a clothes boutique in Mosman, but has agreed to help with the media launch of Bill’s book in return for a divorce settlement. This turns into a media circus when allegations are made against Bill, then she meets property developer Johnno Henderson and maybe if Celia can learn to trust her life might take a turn for the better and to love and joy.
Johnno is the playboy, he is happy playing the field with the younger woman who like the attention, he has never felt the need to settle down, but then he meets the beautiful ex-model Celia Ramsey and he starts to think about her a lot and his thoughts are turning to the future and something permanent and Celia could be the one.
This was a joy to read, the characters are so alive and real, these are people you could meet every day, families with problems, people that are happy to help each other and offer advice, I loved getting to know Celia and Johnno and sharing their journey to a HEA as they fall in love with hurdles to cross and trust to earn, it is a feel good story where troubles are overcome and families are loved. This is a story that I highly recommend it was a joy to read, every word was read as I savoured this story, thank you MS Christensen for another keeper.
5/5 stars for a fabulous story
