Publisher Description
Harrison Haughton messed up. He made the biggest mistake of his life and knew it the moment Mia Jamison left him.
Every attempt to win her back has failed except for one. The letter. His last hope, the one Harrison poured his heart into, but even it eventually came back – Returned to Sender. Only then did he accept the truth. It was over. A part of him knew, this was the kind of loss he’d carry for a lifetime.
It took Mia Jamison years to recover from a broken heart only to meet the perfect man - a good man, a strong man with ambitions, and one who checked all the boxes on her list. If only . . .
If only, coming face to face with Harrison Haughton didn’t open up Pandora’s Box.
No more hiding. It was time deal with a past that had the potential to destroy more than one future.
For mature audiences only.
Customer Reviews
An emotional roller coaster ride.
This book had me feeling all kind of ways. Mia and Harrison loved each other. They struggled to sustain a relationship that was filled with problems. The biggest of which was race related. Their relationship was doomed right from the get go. Mia struggled with identity issues and never stood up for herself. She came across as insecure and naive, trying to ignore the problems in her relationship with Harrison.
Harrison... Oh how I loved Harrison but he on the other hand had his head stucked in the clouds and never notices much of what was happening around him, with Mia and his mom and his friends.
Mia's parents were a mess. They rejected Harrison and wanted her to be a certain way, yet while growing up all they did were exposed her to and teaches her a totally different way of life. Hence her identity issue.
My emotions were all over the place. I experienced sadness, disappointment and outrage.
Sadness because I knew they both loved each other and were doing a terrible job of fixing what was wrong.
Disappointment because with all the crap Mia was taking from everyone, she never stood up strong enough to defend herself and their relationship.
Outrage because Harrison's friends were so rude to Mia. They straight out undermined and dismissed her as someone who was an important part of his life
Interracial relationships are sometimes hard to maintained. We get to sit back and watch Mia and Harrison's relationship unraveled before they figured out that love conquers all. This was a great read. Thank you Ms Vasser.
