💜It’s always been you
Ninety days.
That’s all the time I have to prove to the only woman I’ll ever love that our divorce was a mistake.
Eloise is from a wealthy French family and about to marry the man her parents have always wanted for their eldest daughter. I’m a working-class boy from Ohio and a key defenseman for the Seattle Rogues hockey team.
On paper, our love shouldn’t work, and in reality, fate dealt our marriage a difficult hand.
With zero contact from her for years, I all but gave up on winning Eloise back until, one day, I find out that she’s remarrying, and the next day, I’m boarding a plane to France.
All I have from her sister is a zip code and the time when I’ll lose my girl forever. But I have to try. I know she still loves me, and even if we can never have children, living our lives apart will be the worst kind of loneliness.
From the day we met during our freshman year of college, I’ve been her American bad boy with a dirty mouth in bed and dimples that make her knees go weak.
All I need to do is stop the wedding, bring her back to Seattle, and hope that she’ll give me a second chance after we lost our way the first time around.
And I’ll do anything to make that happen.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Eloise and Mason were madly in love but mistakes happened and know they are divorced. Mason knows it was all a mistake and is trying desperately to make he see that he is the one for her. With the clock ticking he must hurry or he loses the one for him in 90 days.
But Eloise’s has some baggage on her own and feelings of not being enough are not easy to let go. I cried a few ugly tears whenever she struggled because that feeling is no stranger to me and thankfully i found me a Mason of my own who helped me see that we’re more than enough.
I cried, laughed, swooned and wanted to shake these two more than once but in the end they manged to come out stronger on the other side and my heart was full.

Ruth Stilling is a lover of all things escapism and can be mostly found with her head buried in a spicy book, writing her latest romance novel or out in the open air and nature, away from the bustle of life. As clumsy as she is crazy, Ruth enjoys creating relatable, loveable, swoon-worthy and strong willed main characters who find their happy ending. That said, she prides herself on taking her readers on emotional rollercoasters and always recommends reading her books with tissues on hand to wipe away the tears of joy, laughter and sometimes heartache.
Ruth lives in Derbyshire, England with her own personal book boyfriend (lucky girl), her six year old son and her two feisty chihuahuas.
