My 4.5 Star Review
Definition of Fate: Noun
: a power that is believed to control what happens in the future
: the things that will happen to a person or thing : the future that
someone or something will have
Fate has a funny of way if knocking you off track when you
least expect it. This holds true for Sarah and Will. Remember these words... Me Ware Wo
“Someday, Sarah. My commitment to you is that someday, I want you to be
mine, and I will do everything in my power to make you happy.”
Sarah and Will grew up together in a small town in Colorado,
they were best friends but as they grew
older their friendship blossomed into something more. They found that once in a
lifetime one and only true love. Soul shattering love. Love that makes others envious, jealous and
sometimes even desperate.
Spending as much time together as possible they begin to explore
their new found feelings. They make a promise to each other. “Me Ware Wo”
“Will, surely you must know that I would. There is not one thing on
this Earth that I would choose to have, if it meant that I didn’t have you. In
fact, I’ll tell you right now. I only want one thing. And that is to watch each
sunset, with you.”
Like all great things in life, their happiness is short lived.
Sarah’s father drops a bomb on them and
she learns that her family is moving to California. Both Sarah and Will are devastated.
They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder but when
fate throws unexpected obstacles in your path. Your mind starts to wonder, your
heart starts to falter, especially when the temptation is laid out on a silver
platter. With guilt, desire and uncertainty in your way the path to follow your
heart gets lost. When tragedy strikes both, their long distance love will be put
to the ultimate test.
Jacelyn Rae has a stellar debut. I was hooked from the first
paragraph. To be able to experience that feeling of falling in the for the
first time, not just love but soul mate love, it was amazing. Seeing that the story takes place back in the
late 1930’s. I loved the innocence of that time period. The simplicity, that
life had to offer, although not easy but still simple, less materialistic.
Will is such a gentleman. You can feel the love he has for
Sarah just by the way he looks at her. The promises he makes to her, how can
you not swoon over him?
Then there is Sarah, so innocent, beautiful and smart. Her
love for Will is what we all dream to have one day. She adores him with every
fiber of her being. It broke my heart to see their future knocked off track.
*Insert Drama Here*
There is Margaret, a red headed devil who wants what she
clearly can’t have. She is the rich
bitch of the area. She has definitely made my top book bitch list. *EVILSPAWN* Will
made his promise to Sarah and Margaret does everything she can to make him
forget. Ugh, I wanted to reach through my kindle and just knock her out! YUCK!
To be fair, I admit, she does bring some good, evil dynamic to the story but
still, it doesn’t mean I have to like her.
*Kudos to you Jacelyn for creating such a great bitchy character*
Then you have Adley. He is gorgeous and smart. He wants
Sarah. He is a nice guy but has some insecurity’s. Sarah is so home sick and
misses Will so much, she is vulnerable and unsure of her future and of Will. Adley
becomes an unexpected surprise in her life. She is attracted to him and he is
so different from Will. He makes her feel things she has never felt before, and
that scares her. *Insert love triangle
here* She begins to question if what she had with Will was just a childhood
crush or a young love that just isn’t meant to be.
Both Will and Sarah begin to realize that trying to stay together
just isn’t in the cards for them. Especially when so many things are keeping
them apart.
When accidents happen, one is lost and the other is trying
find what was lost but fate isn’t going to make it easy for them, no way no
how! *Insert the angst here*
Jacelyn did a fantastic job of bringing in that innocent
romance, the sexiness, heartache (so much heartache) and angst. I felt every
emotion. Did I mention that she leaves you hanging? Sooo yea, you are left
hanging in a good way but left there dangling, thinking.. No, No, No!. What are
they doing? They CAN’T DO THAT!!! NOOOOOOO!
I look forward to seeing where FATE will lead Will and Sarah
in book 2!
This is such a heartfelt, beautiful love story. A must
read!!
A fantastic job done by Jacelyn Rye. She is definitely an
author to keep your eye on!
