Kaden I fell in love once and it was amazing. Until it wasn't. I swore to protect her. Until I didn't. I swore to love her forever. Until forever came too soon.
After I lost her, I swore I would never fall in love again. Until I met Ashley.
Ashley
I depended on a man once. Until he walked out. I gave him my everything. Until he left me and our son with nothing. From then on I knew the only person I could depend on was myself. Until I met Kaden.
I'm not sure when or how it happened, but Kaden has embedded himself into my life, stealing my heart. Sounds like a good thing, right?
Wrong! Because while Kaden has my heart locked and secure, his heart was given to a woman who can't give it back.
Now I am fighting for his love, hoping he can leave his past behind him and find a future with me.
This was my first Nikki Ash book and my overall feelings are that I liked it, but didn't necessarily love it. It's part of a series and can be read as a standalone, and even though the characters from the previous books are featured in the story, I didn't feel lost or confused about who each person is, even though I've not read the earlier books. With that being said, it probably would have helped get a better feel for the interactions and friendship between Kaden and Ashley.
I can certainly understand Ashley's desire to keep her financial situation under wraps, but at the same time I wanted to be like "girl, it's okay to reach out for help, and more importantly, support" because there's not a doubt in my mind her friends would have provided all the support she needed plus more.
As for Kaden, on the one hand I understood his fear about relationships given the circumstances about his previous relationship and how that ended, but on the other hand I wondered why he felt like he couldn't be happy again with someone. To me, it felt like he was coming across as a martyr. I realize that he made that promise years ago, but I also felt like shaking him since I couldn't, for the life of me, understand why someone would choose to be unhappy and miserable because the trajectory of life took a hard detour. Are you not allowed to find happiness again? And on the off chance you do find happiness, are you still so stuck in the past that you're willing to give up said happiness?
