My review:
The story of
Anna and Nick continued. How awesome is that?! I was really excited
about this sequel and it did not disappoint. This book was as
well-written and detailed as the first one and felt equally as
realistic.
The Story:
With Nick’s
retirement from rugby ended a big chapter in his life and he has a hard
time accepting this change and finding a new purpose. Nick had always
been in control with his tight schedule, he knew the ins and outs of his
job just to find himself now so very lost and bored at the age of 33.
When the door to another world opened for him it brings a lot of
adjustment for him and Anna. Will their love survive another rough patch
and will Nick be able to save himself from the downward spiral that his
life has become?
'After today, he was on the outside. If he ever came back to visit, he'd be the one watching all the action, but no longer part of it.'
Thoughts:
The
pace was rather slow but I had the feeling as if there was a lot of
real life experience in this book and since real life can be slow at
times I think it was okay that the story wasn’t rushed. So keep in mind
that this is not a fast paced story. But if you’ve read the first book,
you’ll probably expect that already.
'If I'm not Nick Renshaw the Rugby star anymore, who am I? What's my purpose?'
I
liked that the characters showed us their flaws and that they weren't
perfect. Similar to the first book they struggled with common
relationship issues and everyday kind of problems that we all face in
real life in one way or another. They also still had communication
problems which had them unnecessarily doubting each other’s feelings.
Doubt, not voicing one's concern and assuming can lead to dangerous
misunderstandings in any kind of relationship and those problems
definitely had the characters jumping through hoops.
'If he was honest, not knowing who or what he was, it scared him.'
There
were some very sweet and affectionate moments and I even laughed out
loud a time or two but the side characters like Brendan really gave the
story some pep and the finishing touch.
'Advice given years earlier only makes sense when your experiences have made you wise enough to truly understand what it all meant.'
Although
I suppose you could read this book as a standalone, I’d advise to read
the first one anyway because it's were Nick and Anna's story began and
you shouldn't miss out on it.
I loved this book and really enjoyed
reading it though like the first one it was almost like reading a
biography instead of fiction. So, you have to decide for yourself if you
like that kind of books or not but I’ll make sure to get myself a
signed copy of this beauty at the next book signing event. =P
