Always

Kailey met the love of her life. Cade brought vitality and brightness to her life, challenging her to overcome her comfort zones in order to become a better person. But things began to spiral out of control for him and Kailey was unable to help the one person who meant the most to her. Then one day he left. No word, no good bye. Gone. Fast forward and she's beyond Cade, happily engaged and quickly approaching her marriage date when she sees a homeless man outside a resturant. She offers him her left over food and sees...it's Cade and he has no idea who she is. This tale of lost love was brilliantly written, meshing together Kailey's past story with Cade and the new where she is engaged to Ryan, living a life that seems happy and fulfilled. However, you can see the way Cade influenced her and how she never forgot how much she loved him, despite her relationship with Ryan. Kailey is a woman who never gives up on someone and her willingness to help Cade will challenge her relationship with Ryan and the life she currently lives. I'm not normally drawn into fiction, but the way Sarah Jio painted the characters, they grab your heart and don't let go. I lost track of time, absorbed in this novel, rooting for Kailey and Cade, hoping despite everything they went through they could rekindle what they lost years ago. I can say this book was heart warming and heart breaking at the same time. It's one of those rare novels I wished could be rated more than the stars.
