It’s not often a book leaves me with a lump in my throat, but this certainly did. It is far fetched in places - very much so - but it’s well written enough that such a thing almost doesn’t matter.

The characters are beautifully drawn and developed, and it’s a real page turner - I finished in a night.

Wow Wow Wow. I loved it. Not what I expected. An amazing love story. The scentific part was way beyond what you think about. The engagment ring story was lovely. The problem of not being able to concieve was so sad as it was destroing their love. But the ending was so unexpected and perfect. Best read of 2020 so far. Will highly recomend it.

I found the initial chapters somewhat formulaic, but then the story descended into science fiction. The events in the research unit were rather far fetched. The appearance of "Harry" was just too ridiculous to believe!

This book is an absolute gem, it's beautifully written and I fell in love with the characters so easily. A heartbreaking story but written in a way that made it very upbeat and full of hope and love. Such a captivating story of a couples relationship and the troubles that came with it. I so so want there to be a sequel.
Just truly wonderful

Wow - this was an emotional rollercoaster and a real tearjerker! The story of Anna and Adam is beautifully written and the characters are well developed. It's easy to read this book in one sitting as every chapter grips you.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher HQ for the advanced copy of this book.

A very touching love story - a story about what happens when everything goes wrong, when life throws heart-breaking situations at Anna, one after another. I felt so sorry for her! But life has a way of sorting things out, even if it isn't in the way you'd imagined.

Wow oh wow! I'm actually sat typing this with tears streaming down my cheeks. What an absolutely stunning and breathtaking read.
I haven't been able to put this one down. I absolutely adore Adam and Anna. They are definitely characters who belong together and deserve the happy ever after. However, things don't always work out as you plan. Fate has other ideas....
I was extremely suspicious when the character of Oliver was introduced. I found myself resisting the urge to tweet the author to see what she was doing to me. However, his part in the story became integral and allows the reader to gain more of an insight into Adam and Anna.
This has made me cry but it's absolutely beautiful and really has taken my breath away. I don't want to give away any spoilers in this review, one theme that emerged towards the end is something which is extremely close to my heart. Henley has covered this in a highly sensitive and compassionate way, which has filled my heart with hope. It's definitely touched me and will stay with me for a long time.
This is such an easy rating to give, this is without a doubt a five star read. However, I wish I could give this all the stars because it is a magical read which should be added to everyone's TBR's.

A huge thank you to HQ and Amelia Henley for this advanced copy. It has been an absolute delight to read.
This is available from July 2020.

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy. This was an amazing book. It has been ages since I have found a book that literally hooked me or I didn't end up skimming parts of it. I will admit I was on the fence as I love her thrillers, and not all authors can go back and forth between genres, but she nailed it! The description of this book is very vague and does not do justice for how intense and gripping this book really is. I cannot wait to read more books like this by her. I love her thrillers, but I may actually like this one better!

Oh my days, how on earth do I review this book and do it enough justice, and to not give any spoilers?

I requested this book from Netgalley yesterday and as soon as I saw I was approved, I was intrigued to read it.
Firstly, because of the genre change that Louise Jensen has done,from writing Psychological Thrillers, to writing Romance under the pen name of Amelia Henley, and secondly, because this is a genre that was my first choice when I first started reading, and it is a genre that I feel totally at home with.

As soon as I’d read the first chapter I knew this was going to be a special read. The way Amelia Henley has captured Adam and Anna is just absolutely beautiful. These two really pulled at my heart strings and every step of their journey was followed by me urging them on their way. The story is so unpredictable in so many ways, and so gently and lovingly displayed throughout the story. I lost count how many times this book brought tears to my eyes, but towards the end, oh my days, there are no words to describe the gut wrenching ache I felt as Adam and Anna’s story got nearer the end of their story.
There are so many things I’d love to highlight about this book, such touching moments about special memories for the many other characters in the book, but I’d hate to spoil anything others who are going to read this beautiful book.
This is a beautifully written book with words that touch the heart, and at times, breaks the heart as you read Adam and Anna’s story ❤️

Thank you so much Amelia Henley for this absolutely stunning debut. I look forward to reading many more from you ❤️
