Tristan

Since he was little, Tristan’s dream has been to play in the NHL. Then he falls in love with his soul mate in high school. A few years after being drafted, an injury cuts his professional career short. Devastated, he questions what is next for him. Instead of seeking solace from the woman who’s remained faithfully by his side, he pushes her away.

Stephanie

Since high school, Stephanie’s known she is going to do two things: marry Tristan Murphy and get a degree in business. Her plan is to work for a non-profit that focuses on breast cancer. Several years later, though, she finds herself recently divorced and in a new city with a new job. And she’s learned a couple of major life lessons. 1. Life can be tricky. 2. We don’t always get what we want.

What happens when their paths cross again?

This was an emotionally raw story that tugged on the reader's heartstrings and it felt like you were breaking your heart in two.

Tristan and Stephanie were high school sweethearts who were deeply in love and never saw a couple in love more than this couple. They both made mistakes the insecurities got the best of them both. We felt that Stephanie was making all the sacrifices in their relationship but, we think both characters were naive to think their relationship/ marriage would not struggle especially knowing what Tristan did for a living. 

This story had its ups and downs and struggles and the couple made it harder on themselves because communication was lacking in their relationship.

Overall we enjoyed the story and we are glad a second chance was given to this couple because they truly belonged together. They played a part in not getting it right the first time around especially when your careers are going in two different directions. 

After so many years apart we loved that they never stopped loving one another their bond was still there and their chemistry was still awesome. We will say we loved the growth of Tristan's character and that he found happiness even if his dreams changed. 

After being on Tristan and Stephanie's journey of love and happiness our hearts went to the couple's pain and suffering we never saw the ending to the story happening the way it did not sure we enjoyed it but, we will say Tristan you kept your promises this time around.

4 stars from us
