From a USA Today best-selling author comes a standalone in the Sweet Sin series.

The lives of Dean Wagner and Tatum Fields have been ruled by the hand of fate.

The past six years of my life have been consumed by guilt. Since we lost Landon to a fire, I’ve done everything in my power to protect my daughter, Leila, from finding out the truth about how her twin brother died. Nothing in my life means more to me than her.

Not my band, not my reputation. Nothing.

Until I see Tatum, the woman I saved on the beach the same night she dealt with a loss of her own.

The daily routine I’ve settled into is what keeps me going. Work at my chocolate shop, pay the bills, repeat. I don’t date. I don’t trust. And I have never forgotten the man who walked away from saving my life without allowing me to thank him.

I know how to reach him, but I avoid him at all costs.

Until fate decides to make another appearance.

This is a story of how destiny ends up bringing these two souls back together, and how fate, the word very little people believe in is really their friend, after all.

For me I felt like this story was very emotional. Coopmans did a good job of making us aware of how these characters felt and the struggles they were going through. It was very raw and real. I do wish that the story had played more outside of their heads. There was a lot of point of view narration, rather than speaking and action. And it got a little boring in some parts. I also felt that I was able to easily predict some of the things these characters did in regards to their budding relationship. With these negatives out of the way I will fall back on the positive, which is an emotional journey that got me hooked right away. I recommend if you want something you will cry at. I give it a 4/5 stars.

The narration was great with two narrators! I’m a big fan of dual POV having two narrators for the story. Lacy is the better narrator for me personally, but Lorenzo does a great job with the male voices and his sexy voice is nothing to laugh at. I give the narration a 4/5 stars as well!
