Review:


4 pot of 5 stars ARC for Review

Bentley has return not knowing that he had left Haley pregnant.  He feels left out since he is the last one to know since his family already knows about the pregnancy and they failed to mention it to him.  He tries to apologize to Haley but she does not want anything to do with him but promises he’ll have some say with the baby.

Haley has abandonment issues stemming from her childhood.  Her mom leaving her dad and then her dad leaves her with his parents while he goes off and travels.  So when Bentley disappeared for over a month she felt like he also abandon her after he left right afterwards.

It is up to Bentley to slowly win her trust back as they spend more time together.  Can he knock back the walls that Haley has build and regain her trust?    Will these two get their chance at happy ever after or will issues of the past haunt them?


Love is always worth fighting for.
