Description:
Lea Lamb and Austin Wolf were young when they fell in love. They never imagined the future could hold anything other than together-forever. 

When Lea’s father dies in a tragic fishing accident, she's crushed under the weight of her grief and catches a glimpse of another type of future, one she knows she's not strong enough to face. 

Austin is angry. For the past fifteen years, he's believed the woman he loved with every ounce of his soul left him without so much as a backwards glance. 

When Lea unexpectedly returns to their hometown, all the years of heartache inside Austin bubbles to the surface and presents itself as blinding rage. 

Faced with the truth about the past, a newly discovered secret, these former lovers will learn that if they want to have any chance at the future they’d given up on all those years ago, they will have to rescue one another from drowning in pain so debilitating it will leave them both fighting to breath. 

Warning this book is intended for mature audiences and may contain triggers for some.

My Opinion

This was a quick, easy read. I did expect it to drag more emotions from me, but unfortunately it didn't garner much of a response. Everything in the story felt a little easy for my liking. I didn't feel there was much to the actual plot.

It was still an enjoyable read. It just needed more depth for me to have engaged with it more.
