Ian “Bash” Sebastian and Ember Carlson were high school sweethearts…until their single parents got married. With one thorny twist of fate, a secret young crush went from on fire to off-limits. What could a new stepbrother do but bail? Now, after almost four years, Bash has returned to Seattle, and he’s back in Ember’s orbit at End of the Line. EOL is the go-to college for second-chance scholarships. But what about love?

Sure, the old hurts are there. So is the attraction—and it’s more magnetic than ever. Still, they’re adults now, levelheaded and just fine with the friend thing. If only to make family dinners less awkward. But when they agree to start dating other people, moving on threatens to bring them closer together than ever.

Is it time to admit their past to their parents? Even trickier, their hope for the future? Because Ember and Bash deserve a love story of their own. With all their defenses down, can they make it a happy ever after?

Due to Covid-19, I have delayed everything inclued reading books ...
When I could read again, I was overfloaded by work. We are on a very weird period.

I don't know why but this book was easier to understand than the previous one. I went inside the story easier too.

The only thing that remains negative is the length of the summary which spoils the story too much.

Although Bash is part of the American football team, it is less present than with Jess and Logan. We are more focused on the family unit.

I noticed that it is a bit trendy stepbrother and stepsister but it's the first that I read. In fact it's a little different because they know each other before their parents. In French, the term is less precise than in English.

Ember and Bash have injuries that you don't necessarily notice but that make them react in a certain way.

I enjoyed following the characters and meeting Jess and Logan. We are also entitled to an explanation of Ford's behavior with Keilani.

Some parts made me laugh. Mainly the double date which does not end as expected.

It seems to me that this second volume is the last in the series. I will be watching for future releases from Sariah Wilson.

After being gone for months, there's nothing like being home for Christmas.
Although Brindle has no family there to welcome her back, and the little town has grown since she left, it's still home to her and exactly where she wants to be in these final days.

With a little help from a generous stranger full of the Christmas spirit, the holiday is sure to be perfect for Brindle. Full of love and memories, both old and new.

She just prays she's able to enjoy it before she runs out of time and breath.

It's on NetGalley that I found this title which goes well with the period of the year where we are.

If at the beginning I thought that this book was a bit like "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green, the end takes us away from it and we are more in fantasy.

I was persuaded to shed liters of tears but it's with a smile that I close this story.

The characters are nice. Brindle lugs around his oxygen tank but we don't pay attention. Hamon perfectly embodies the spirit of Christmas. Something we find less and less these days. I like his first name.

The pages scroll more or less quickly. I remind you that English is not my mother tongue. It's a short format so we don't have time to go into everything that could be.

Those who appreciate beautiful Christmas stories should be delighted.

Another author whom I didn't know but who has several titles to her credit. I'll take a closer look.
