My Review:
I have always loved Annie West’s books
and this one has been added to my most favourite book list. Not only did the cover
mesmerize me but also the story held me until the last page!
Isla had a fling with Theo before he was arrested for the crime he didn’t commit. When he was imprisoned, he asked his lawyer to make her go and never visit him again in quite devastating way. However after being released from the prison, he couldn’t forget Isla, the woman whom had captivated him during the archaeological dig in Greece therefore despite his mistreatment, he has the audacity to turn up on her workplace in England. Discovering Isla’s pregnancy, he is resolutely determined to care and claim the baby and Isla.
I couldn’t tell how much I adored this couple; Isla and Theo. Isla is innocent, naive, smart, honest and compassionate yet after what she has been through, she carefully guards herself from Theo. Meanwhile Theo is the typical Greek hero I always adore. He is charismatic, patient, protective and caring. Both experienced difficult childhoods but Theo never knows that Isla is all alone. I felt lured into some emotional and dramatic plots. The connection between Isla and Theo is so intense and romantic. I loved every step of it.
Annie West’s incredible talented writing kept me glued between the pages, especially when she outlined Theo’s rolled sleeves, it etched within my imagination. I loved and totally savoured every page of this story. The epilogue utterly warmed my heart. Additionally, the cover represents how I pictured Theo and Isla. I highly recommend it. Thank you, Annie West, for the ARC which I voluntary reviewed.
