Rafael owns my heart. He stole it with the first clumsy bump in a Parisian bookstore, and I never asked him to return it.
He gifted me a night to remember, a night that shaped the person I would become. And then, I lost him. I lost every trace that could have helped me find him. Until fate meddled again and put Rafael and me on the same cross-European train through the Alps.
But if I hoped that some divine hand guided us to one another, I was terribly mistaken.
Our second encounter sparked a decade of failed attempts and missed chances. For years, I yearned to be with him, and for years, something took him away. Our lives are so intertwined that we will never be free of one another. And yet, each time I see him, my dream of a happy ending fades a little more.
Is stealing moments with Rafael enough to live on? Can I survive on glimmers of hope? I don’t think so.
It’s time to take our happy ending away from fate’s hands. It’s time to break this cursed cycle once and for all.

My Review: 4/5 Stars
The moment Luke and Rafael meet is the moment that both of their lives are changed forever. They spend an afternoon together and it begins their journey of falling in love. But that is all the time they have. For fate is determined to keep them apart and bring them together once in a while. But over the next ten years, these two will find their way back to one another. At times it is for small moments, things are complicated, or maybe they have a time where it confirms that they are simply meant to be. There are times when all they have is hope and that maybe things will be different and the future they want could happen. Other times Rafael believes they are cursed when tragedy strikes. It’s a push and pull and oof, do you feel for these two. It’s such a long time for them to be together but not. And for them to finally, finally get their lives together to the point where they know that all they want is to be by one another’s side. They earned their long awaited happy ending by the end of the story. But it is quite the beautiful journey to get there. Luke and Rafael’s journey will pull at your heartstrings and you will be cheering for them the whole time to find their way back to one another so they can finally just be together and happy! Really enjoyed their story.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
