My review

After following her ex – boyfriend all the way to India, London lawyer Rachel has finally found love with Canadian Seb.
But after her law suit against the ashram, she has been banned from there and she starts wondering where her relationship with Seb will go. Also that her visa is running out, makes her wonder if with Seb is was a lovely holiday romance, or is he is the real thing?

When on a limp, they go on a trip to Nepal, and do an Everest base camp trek, will this make or break their relationship? Because not only they have to face the hardships of this expedition, but there appears also to be another competitor on the horizon…

Whenever I start reading a story of this author, I know I will forget all my surroundings, and this story was absolutely no exception!

I loved the idea to know what happens when our main character after she has found love. Is it truly her happily ever after? Or what are the issues a new couple has to face?
And Rachel is facing even bigger problems, because what do you do when your boyfriend lives in Canada? And while she enjoys her time in India, slowly she starts to long after London…

The way the author describes Rachel, makes this character a realistic one. She has doubts, insecurities and just longs for her happily ever after with the man she just adores.
But it’s also very common that instead of speaking out, Rachel is afraid of what Seb’s answer will be. And why jeopardize the happiness she is feeling with Seb?

Seb managed to make me feel even more in love with him, just like Rachel does. He is a lovely character, and the way he looks at and after Rachel, makes me wish for a boyfriend like him!
He has had a rough past, but he has found redemption and is figuring out where his future is. Not only geographically, but he is also thinking what he would like to do job-wise.

The only thing I didn’t like in this story, is the trip in Nepal. I enjoy walks, but only when it’s 100% safe! So I understood the fears Rachel was having, the disgust whenever leeches or other insects were involved! It still gives me goosebumps thinking about it!
Yet the moments that were the most fearful for Rachel (and for me too, THAT BRIDGE!!!!), Seb shows again how amazing he is! He understands Rachel and is able to calm her down by being just himself.

I enjoyed reading this next chapter of Rachel, as it shows what happens “after”. Getting together is the easy part. Staying together, thinking about the future is the hardest part. Insecurities are normal feelings to have, but with the right person by your side, all these negatives thoughts disappears, and even other people cannot tear you apart, because in his eyes, you are all your loved one needs!

This was again a story that was just perfect, just like I am used by this author!
