REVIEW – If Only by Charlene Namdhari

BLURB

A taboo, slow burn, small town romance!!

Skye
You know those romance stories where the groom cheats on the bride with her best friend just before their wedding.
Well, I happened to be that other woman.
Don’t judge.
I had my reasons for letting my best friend fuck me over the altar seconds before he was due to tie the knot.
After, I straightened his suit, walked him down the aisle, and just before he could say I do, I did the only thing I could.
I ran.
Taking our secret with me.
Now, six years later, in a place I never thought he’d find me, he does.

Shay
I was twelve when she crawled into my life, stealing my heart. What I didn’t know then, was that she’d keep it forever, something we weren’t allowed.
Then I fucked up and took her virginity seconds before I was about to wed another.
After, she calmly kissed my cheek and left me with three simple words.
See you soon.
That was six years ago.
Now I found her again, I know second chances exists for a reason. To remind me she was always mine.

ARC REVIEW

My heart. Skye and Shay completely captured by heart with their story. This was a journey from start to finish. There is so much pain, love, heartbreak, emotions. They had me feeling everything and you can’t help but want the best for the two of them.

Shay and Skye’s connection is deep. Everyone around them knows their connection, but they may not know all the feelings these two truly have for each other. And for some of those feelings it took some time to develop. I loved that this was a slow burn. It didn’t drag on just to drag on, they needed things to be slow. If they would have rushed into something with each other I don’t think it would have worked out as well or them in the long run.

This is a story that won’t be for everyone, but their love for each other is epic and in the end this is a beautiful love story.

If you’re looking for a forbidden, slow burn, age gap, stepbrother romance this is one to check out.
