♡♡♡McKenna and Maddox's Second Chance Romance Hurt My Heart So GOOD!!♡♡♡

 "She was crying. McKenna was crying…and she never cried. She’d been fierce and brave."

The story of a fierce and powerful redemptive tale of love that never really died, but was brought back to life with the help of a precocious little girl, and the strength of family all around. LJ Evans story of bringing a beautiful family back together never fails to rock my world!!

McKenna left when she was eighteen to Maddox's mind,  because she needed to escape the dirt her Mama (Sybil) pushed at her all around when that was only partly true. McKenna left so she'd stop being a burden on the Hatley family, so they wouldn't push her away like her Mama did, and learn to hate her just the same - never understanding the Hatley's could never come to hate her, no matter how angry Maddox was in the moment.

Maddox has trained himself to believe that McKenna never cared enough to stay, so when something or someone scared McKenna enough to force her her home, Maddox's first inclination is to hide Mila from her and force her to stay away from Hatley land - no matter how much she might need them right then.

I fell in love with this book on page one, and was completely in love with Mila's demeanor and empathy, and her knowledge that McKenna was right where she needed to be. The suspense, trying to figure out who Sybil had used last to hurt another one of her daughters and shake up Trap's Motorcycle Club, and the last few pages where another man was trying to hurt Sybil and those around her - as though she had the capability to love someone besides herself. 

I am praying that Gemma, Sadie, and Ryder will each get their own HEA, the epilogue in this one is such absolute perfection!!
