LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. Oh my God, y'all, Cassie Edwards is nature's antidepressant. It is impossible to be down in the mouth when you're reading a Cassie Edwards book.

Now if only the humor were intentional!

A nice little romance of childhood friends-to-lovers, despite being separated for all those years.

HOWEVER

I will admit to being disappointed by the hero and how he openly admits that he's been with other women, even though he only "truly" loved the heroine. Like...I don't care about "a man's needs", if you REALLY love someone, then you just CAN'T sleep with anyone else but them.

I don't care how idealistic that is, that's what books are supposed to cater to: the ideal, not the disappointingly real.

I sometimes hate with authors go one direction and not another, y'know?

Just count the book lucky that I'm not taking away all its stars as a result of this.

Absolutely loved this story. No surprise Cassie Edwards does not disappoint.

This story is about two young children who meet and have this deep connection almost immediately. They are from rival tribes so they are forbidden to see each other..the young girl makes a promise to meet the young boy in a few nights but when she gets home her tribe leaves their camp suddenly and she doesn't get a chance to see the young man to tell him. The young man is heart broken when she doesn't show up then he discovers that her tribe left in a hurry. Over the years he thinks of her often. Her and her tribe come back years later and she meets the young man and knows immediately that it is him. Their story is like Romeo and Juliet, a forbidden love. Their love story has many peaks and valleys.

A very good read. I couldn't put it down.
