Everything we left behind

Everything We Left Behind by Kerry Lonsdale
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This story picks up right where she left us at the end of " Everything We Keep". We get to see more of the story behind Carlos/James and how they both are like but differ at the same time even though they are the same person.
This storyline was more focused on romance, which I'm not a huge fan of but overall I thought it was a great read.
