I used to believe in true love.
Until he broke me.
Lesson learnt.
Where there’s love, there’s lies.
I used to believe I wasn’t what she needed.
Until I let her love in.
I’ve changed for her.
I want her to believe in me like I need to believe in myself.
Isaac James stayed out of my life for five years. He wasn't to blame, after all, protecting me imprisoned him.
Now he’s back. The chemistry is still there, the tension is still there, the love is still there… the pain is still there.
Isaac James was my rock, my first love… my family.
Olivia McKenna has always been my weakness. I’d do anything to protect her, which I proved, despite it taking me to prison.
I’ve stayed away, trying to do the right thing. I thought I was still protecting her. But, I’m lost without her… even if I’m not sure I can be what she needs.
Olivia McKenna was my forever… for always.

The book started off well. I really enjoyed seeing the progression of Olivia's personality as she grew from a child to becoming a young woman. I found her extremely funny and likeable as a child. The author was able to capture what kids are like when they are little and the fact that they have no filter. I feel like the best word to describe this book is
tease. I kept expecting one thing to happen and every time I thought
that it would, it seemed like someone would jump out and say "syke!"
I didn't know that there would be a forbidden/taboo angle to their relationship until I had read a bit of the story so if you aren't into that kind of thing than this book probably isn't for you. Once I realized that that would be a piece of the plot I thought that is what the book would mainly focus on. However, it seemed as if this aspect of the story was glanced over rather than having it add some tension and drama to the book. Although, I found out that this type of relationship is legal in the UK so it is probably not taboo like it is here in the United States.
I feel like I have read some version of this story before so it felt a bit stale to me. I had some trouble with the characters. I didn't find them that likeable because Olivia seemed like a whiny, tantrum throwing lap dog and Issac didn't seem to understand that you should think through your actions and the effect that they have on others. Their relationship seemed volatile and frankly, I was hoping that they wouldn't end up together because they didn't seem to be good for each other. I feel like parts of Issac's story still didn't make sense to me even after they are eventually explained. The explanation just seemed so convenient rather than being realistic to me.
