Tristan Jacob’s
life is full of complicated relationships. Having been hurt by love and loss,

But he's finally
ready to find the girl of his dreams.
When an
auburn-haired beauty captures his attention, Tristan doesn't realize she has a
connection to the woman who broke his heart. Will he get his happily ever
after? Or will the complications prove to be too difficult to overcome?
Review
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
Tristan certainly knows how to over complicate his relationships but his heart is in the right place.
Trying to balance a fledgling new relationship with Melanie alongside his existing ones has Tristan running himself in circles. Melanie's past choices in men has not gone well and Tristan is the first man she wants more from. Tristan's kind and caring nature means that everyone else comes before himself, which means that his relationship with Melanie is not his first priority. The patience that Melanie has with this is incredible but there has to be a limit even for her. It would be very easy to throw in the towel and act jealous.
With past characters ever present throughout, this felt like coming home. It made it easy to sink into this story and become immersed in these characters' journey together. My heart went out to Angel and I did wonder if the author was going to take us down a different path. I really hope that she gets a HEA of her own.
I loved how selfless Tristan was and how he found his balance with Melanie. Second chances, open minds, forgiveness and putting yourself first sometimes were important throughout in helping navigate your way through these complicated relationships.
