Can Savannah and Josh make a relationship work? Or are there some secrets that are too hard to overcome?

 

 

 

My Review:

Having read Taking Chances and absolutely loved it, I couldn’t wait to read this second book in the Healing Hearts series! Taking Chances really needs to be read first in order to appreciate the story and characters that are in this second book.

In Taking Chances, we learn that Savannah has loved her brothers best friend, Josh, for years. She even told him how she feels but he doesn’t feel that way about her. Poor Savannah had to watch and suffer as he paraded a different girlfriend in front of her all the time, while all she wanted was Josh.

Savannah can’t take it any more and is determined to move on with her life, and so stops spending time with her brother and Josh and goes out with some girl friends, getting drunk and having casual sex with a few different boys. This decision changes her life forever.

Josh has watched Savannah from afar, trying to get on with his life, but also not being able to stand it when Savannah was with another boy, but also knowing he could never be with Savannah in that way. But his reasons for them not being together are completely different to hers, something she knows nothing about, and as Savannah’s secret is revealed, so Josh’s reasons for not being together become unraveled.

A fabulous story, full of heartbreak, despair and longing that changes to hope, realisation and finding love. This is very much a true life story, so easily relatable to!! Lots of twists and turns and family drama from both Savannah and Josh’s family, making this quite a gut wrenching read at times, really quite emotional and had me in tears once or twice.

I loved this – Savannah and Josh’s story was fabulous, full of ups and downs, but everything worthwhile is worth fighting for and I loved seeing Savannah and Josh do just that. A highly recommended 5 star read.
