Book Descripion
One woman finds herself bound to a past she cannot forget.
Another, driven by past choices she can neither change nor accept.
It's been over a year. That should be enough time to forget a first love. But aspiring artist Katie Banks is still waiting. Not even Justin Burke, her university classmate, has been able to erase the hurt Aiden Ford inflicted, or weaken Katie's resolve to never date a man who doesn't share her faith. When Katie accepts a scholarship to study in Paris, it places much-needed distance between her and Justin. But love still eludes her, until a stormy night and a tragic accident change everything. The possibility that she and Aiden might be able to find their forever love this time both excites and terrifies Katie. Can she forgive past hurts, or will the walls she's built to protect herself keep love a distant dream?One woman finds herself bound to a past she cannot forget.

My thoughts:
This debut novel by Melanie Stevenson is an emotionally charged novel of four friends and the choices they make throughout their college lives and after career paths. I loved Katie Banks, her faith is unshakable which made her stand out as a strong young woman who knows what she wants and won't settle for anything or anyone she knows isn't right for her. I liked Rachel, Justin and Aiden as much as I liked Katie, but she stood out to me because of her strong beliefs throughout the story.
Overall, I thought this is an impressive debut novel, with flawed but likeable characters. It's a beautifully crafted story and I look forward to reading more of this authors writing.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
