By: Chloe Liese

Narrated by: CJ Bloom, Nelson Hobbs

Buckle up for an emotional journey of hijinks, heartache, and a hot slow-burn in this marriage-in-crisis romance about going the distance to make love last.

Aiden

I've spent 12 years loving Freya Bergman, and 12 lifetimes won't be enough to give her everything she deserves. All I want is to make her happy. But the one thing that will make her happiest is the one thing I'm not sure I can give her: a baby. With the pressure of providing and planning for a family, my anxiety's at an all-time high, and I find myself pulling away, terrified to tell my wife how I'm struggling. But when Freya kicks me out, I realize that pulling back has turned into pushing too far. Now it's the fight of a lifetime to save our marriage.

Freya

I love my cautious, hard-working husband. Until one day I realize the man I married is nowhere to be found. Now Aiden is quiet and withdrawn, and as the months wear on, the pain of our growing distance becomes too much. As if weathering marriage counseling wasn't enough, we're thrown together for an island getaway to celebrate my parents' many years of perfect marriage while ours is on the brink of collapse. Despite my meddling siblings and a week in each other's constant company, this trip somehow gets us working through the trouble in paradise. I just can't help worrying, when we leave paradise and return to the real world, will trouble find us again?

Least favorite of the series

Predictable. A little too over the top. “Fun time” scenes were good. Man cubs had more scenes in this one if you are curious but they are annoying.

Not my favorite for sure

It felt like it was too long and the story was meh. I almost didn’t finish it.

Favorite so far!

This book was so, so freaking good. I loved Freya and Aiden & their commitment to finding their love again. It was such a tender journey and felt so relatable. I of course loved seeing the big Bergman family together (and lovingly meddling). Can’t wait to dive into the next book.

Free marriage therapy?!

I loved how the characters went through their ups and downs. The perspectives given were different than usually presented, in a way that was beautifully done. Definitely made me think introspectively about myself and how I handle things as well. The dynamics of the family was refreshing as well.

Aiden and Freya

An emotional and heartwarming romance. I loved that this is about a married couple and what comes after the wedding. Aiden and Freya love one another deeply and are fighting hard to find their way back to each other. They are flawed like everyone else. Can their love pull them through? Goodness! I was on the edge of my seat cheering for these two to work things out. Great story.
