Northern Twilight by Samantha Young
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
BLURB:
As teenagers, Callie Ironside and Lewis Adair were inseparable. So much so, Lewis still can’t work out where it all went horribly wrong, or why he’s spent the last seven years in London away from the love of his life.
Callie knows exactly where it all went wrong and while she tried to move on—learning pastry techniques in Paris and dating French men—returning home to Ardnoch to work in her mother’s bakery only reminds her of the future she lost with Lewis.
But when a visit to London brings them unexpectedly together, the passion, pain and animosity between them leads to a one-night stand. For Lewis, it’s the beginning of winning Callie and his life in Ardnoch back. For Callie, it’s a mistake that’s shaken up the devastating heartbreak she fought hard to forget. However, Lewis is determined to fight for her, and proves it when their night together results in more than just unresolved feelings.
As they come to grips with impending parenthood and the mistakes they’ve both made, Callie and Lewis will not only have to decide to fight for a love that has endured so many years apart, but a mysterious adversary who seems intent on destroying the future they’re building together.
REVIEW:
I was super excited for this story because of how Callie and Lewis were in the prior series, I knew they were meant to be but was curious on how they got there.Callie and her mother went through hell and back because of her father, their journey through he moms romance was one of my favorite stories. With what she went through Callie struggled with her emotional response and she acted before she thought the whole thing through. Even though i struggled with her actions because I felt they were slightly immature for her age, what she went through as a child made me more sympathetic.
Lewis stole my heart as a sweet kiddo, I loved how as a child he was so protective and trying to be strong like his father and uncles. As an adult he is one of my favorites, he in a way had to grow up fast, he had a great family but the loss of his mother and not having that connection matured him. I love that he is caring and learned to be more watchful of his younger sister half sister. Just like his father and uncles the protectiveness and wanting to be there is so strong. But its his love for Callie that never goes away is what I adored the most about him. He's always loved her and was broken when he lost her.
In the end Samantha Young knows her audience, she knows how much we care for all the characters in her series, both past and present. The readers get updates on the past couples and learn more information about characters that will be the focus of the future. I can't wait to know more about Lewis sisters and their journeys to finding happiness.
