About the book

Just as my life was getting better, and my heart was finally being put back together in pieces, I met the man who had broken it so cruelly. It was because of him that I once swore I would never fall in love again. But fate doesn't like the word "never," so it made me choose to break my vow. A former first love? Or an arrogant, insufferable stubborn man who somehow decided that I should fall at his feet? The sequel to The Moment Before Love.

    Thank you, thank you, and thank you again! This story is so incredible that one can only dream of such a plot. I read the books in one breath, in just a few days, and they will take a place of honor in my library. I definitely recommend reading them; there are so many different emotions and a captivating plot. Thank you once again, Lavanda, and may you always have inspiration to write even more amazing books.

    Wonderful dilogy! This story is proof that fate has its own plans. And everything that happens, good or bad, will eventually lead you to the point where you are supposed to be. To the point of happiness) It was an emotional story, thank you sincerely for your creativity. ❤️ I don’t even know which of your books I’m reading in order, but I know for sure it’s not the last one) ❤️

    A charismatic despot who knows how to achieve goals and who, for the sake of his beloved, got back on his feet. What could be a better proof of love? Probably nothing. And a tender, strong girl who managed to achieve her dream profession despite a broken heart, a shattered soul, and once again trust in love. Not everyone can do this, but Tina did, and she also helped August find a purpose to get back on his feet. Thank you, sunshine, for an incredible dilogy! Hugs to you tightly! Wishing you more inspiration and support from your readers!

    My emotions are split: I'm happy for Tina and Archie :), I feel sad with Tris, and I cry for Dylan... In my opinion, this is a very realistic life story, intertwining so many emotions and events. Thank you, dear Lavanda, for your talent!

    I’ve read everything to the end! I cried and laughed... I need to read it from start to finish again! Thank you for the wonderful love story. I contacted tech support and got everything sorted))). To access paid chapters, you need to remove the purchased book from your library and then add it back. That’s the whole secret! Hugs, my flower. In between "Bidoseya" and "Lyubanya with Dem," I continue to enjoy the books I’ve bought. Thank you for the amazing works that captivate, inspire, and help me escape from our sad present and keep moving forward. Wishing creative inspiration to your Muse for new works. Peaceful skies to everyone.

    Oh, this stunning story has left a warm trace in my heart and brought hope and comfort in the difficult times of war! A captivating, emotional, unpredictable story! The first book is youthful, cheerful, funny, emotional in its own way, and the second one has an interesting and deep meaning with challenges. Thank you so much to the author, please keep writing! Wishing you inspiration, a swift victory, and all the best!
