review 1: This opens up with a tearjerker moment and m absolutely despising Josh. I mean how insensitive can you be. As I got into the book though and you see both points of view you understand more. Josh’s POV came originally from the past so that you can gain an idea of what occurred between these two. Cassie is one very selfless young woman. She gave up everything so that Josh can be successful. Josh has no idea and is quite bitter. But when Cassie needs to see Josh and get his help the fireworks of anger, mistrust and sexual tension come out in glaring fashion.Josh is engaged even though still married. Bad Josh bad. But when he sees Cassie in Oxford his world crashes. He is angry, bitter and nasty. But cannot keep his eyes off of Cassie. Deep down he still has feelings but can... morenot get over what happened in the past. When he finds out the truth he is reeling. What should he do and is it for real or pretend. His girlfriend can help his career and is willing to do anything for him so he is wiling to put Cassie aside and go forward with her.Cassie is so sweet and insecure though. She does everything for others to help them and nothing for herself. Including her decision to give up the one thing she loves most so that Josh can have the world with his girlfriend and because she thinks its best. Her selflessness is incredible to see. She even gives up her music career at one point to help others. When in Oxford she meets Sam. Sam is a kind but quirky guy who helps her out and supports her all the way.This is a story of the past crashing into the future and love balancing things out. A tearjerker to the end but there are some fun moments when you see both characters at their best.
review 2: If you could turn back time and change one thing, what would it be? For Cassie it would have been lying to Josh about their son. Cassie is a beautiful and strong woman that has always put everyone else's best interests ahead of her own. She loved Josh with all her heart and soul and could not bring herself to allow him to walk away from his dream. When she finds out that he got into Georgetown she does what she thinks is right. She ends up paying a high price for what she has done. She is able to lift her head high and smile because Josh is living his dream. That is more important to her than her own happiness.When life takes a crazy turn and her son's adoptive parents die in an accident, Cassie knows this is her only chance to make her life whole again. She needs her son more than she needs air to breathe. The problem is that she is a single mom with no education and waits tables for living. No one in their right mind would approve of her adopting her son. She might have a chance though if she can get Josh on board. There are two major problems standing in her way, the fact that Josh just sent her divorce papers, and that he has no idea that Lucas exists.Almost immediately my heart ached for Cassie. She is selfless and loves fiercely with everything she has. I was in awe of her strength when she finally confronts Josh to tell him about their son.Josh has done really well for himself because after he left Steep Hill he did nothing but study. He put all of his energy into making excellent grades to bury the pain that was deep down inside after he left Cassie. He was able to bury her so deep that he allowed himself to fall in love again and is very excited to be marrying Eleanor. She compliments him beautifully and together they could conquer the political world and possibly have a chance at the White House someday. So...you can only imagine the hell that breaks loose when Cassie shows up at Oxford and drops the bomb about Josh's son. Talk about a scandal that could ruin someones political career.Will sparks of lust or anger ignite when fate brings Josh and Cassie together again? Is it too late? Does Josh's heart belong to Eleanor now? What if Josh and Eleanor raised Lucas as their own?Marion Croslydon develops amazing characters. Josh and Cassie are just good people that find themselves in a bad situation. Cassie has the best intentions and just wants what right. Whats right is Lucas living with his birth parents. This couple is amazingly mature for their age and are willing to walk through fire for those that they love.This story grabbed a hold of my heart and would not let go. No Reverse will capture your heart, body, and soul. less
