What if a “Once in a Lifetime” could happen twice?
In Dahlia London’s world, happily ever after is a far cry from reality. Her soul has been left completely shattered by tragedy. But a surprising reunion with someone from her past is about to give her a reason to love again…
When rock star River Wilde comes back into Dahlia’s life, their super-charged connection runs deeper than either of them ever expected. The more time they spend together, the more intense their relationship becomes, and Dahlia believes at last she has found her soul mate.
But as old bonds fade and Dahlia’s grief begins to lift, her guilt and confusion remain. River desperately wants to be the one who mends what’s been broken—but with a past that refuses to stay buried, is it possible for their future to begin?

5 - Holy Cliffhanger Batman - Smooches
For a moment there, I felt as though I
believed in love at first sight, which I didn’t. And how could love at first sight even exist
when you were already in love with someone else?
*sigh* I loved
this book. Loved it! I love a book that stirs up my emotions …. this
book had me boo-hooing early on and it wasn’t pretty. The ugly cry does not suit me. And it had me ready to hurt someone when it left
me hanging with the ending I did not see coming AT ALL.
Happily in love with
her boyfriend Ben, Dahlia is more than confused when she meets River one
Halloween night at a bar. She’s more
than attracted to the hottie rocker … Dahlia feels a connection that truly confuses
her considering her love and affection for her boyfriend. When River’s break is over and he rejoins the
band on stage, Dahlia makes a run for it, setting into motion a chain of events
she never could’ve predicted.
With Ben no
longer in the picture, Dahlia and River reconnect years later. River is now a famous musician and Dahlia is
sent to interview him in Vegas. The
sparks still fly but River is pissed that Dahlia skipped out on him all those years
ago. Even though they only spent a few moments
together, River never forgot her and the connection they shared or the fact that
she bailed on him.
Dahlia struggles
to open her heart to River. She’s only
ever loved Ben and is having a difficult time letting go of her love for him. While River did the rock ‘n
roll bad boy thing over the years, it’s almost like he’s been waiting for
Dahlia.
“Watching her now, so natural, so
beautiful, I know why it only took that one meeting so long ago to know she
owned me. It’s like I was hers from the
very time I looked into her beautiful eyes.” – River
And now, all
these years later, they have the chance to be together …. to actually
see if this attraction, this connection they share can amount to something
meaningful and significant. Can they
work through the consequences of the choices they made so long ago?

"I
love you. This doesn’t change anything,”
I whisper, feeling strongly that he needs to know this.
“It changes everything Dahlia.”
“It changes everything Dahlia.”
Oooooooooo, I was READY for this book! Like ‘on the edge of my seat, what in the
world is going to happen now?’ kind of ready.
And it did not disappoint.
Ghosts from Dahlia’s past (well, one big ghost in
particular) have made their way into River and Dahlia’s perfect world and they
threaten what they have together.
“And what exactly were you figuring out?”
“Nothing. Everything. You. Me. Ben. I don’t even know…”
“I didn't realize we needed figuring out,” he seethes.
“Nothing. Everything. You. Me. Ben. I don’t even know…”
“I didn't realize we needed figuring out,” he seethes.
River’s anger and jealousy are completely understandable yet
Dahlia’s confusion is understandable as well.
These two are just is a crappy situation. River and Dahlia never really got past the
honeymoon phase of their relationship so when they are truly tested, they don’t
have the coping skills as a couple to work through things together. They fall back on the one
thing they do really well - sex - but eventually it’s not enough to weather the
storm.
“I
want to believe your love is only for me.
That your lips are mine. That
your kisses are meant for me. That your
body belongs to me … But when you leave me to see him, it’s hard to know for
sure.” - River
This story tested my loyalties and tugged at my heart
strings. Just because a love is
different, doesn’t mean it runs any less deep. At times, my head would want one thing for
Dahlia yet my heart would want another.
“Taking
her face in my hands, I kiss her hard.
She wraps her arms around my neck and I feel lost in her, lost in her
touch, her soul, her love. But it’s not
a kind of lost where you want to be found.” - River
