See all formats and editions

Eight years ago, Garret Banks swept me clear off my feet, catching me before I fell on my ass.
Our love was instantaneous, all-consuming and intense. We never thought the flame would die down, let alone extinguish.
We have everything we’ve ever wanted. Successful careers, a beautiful son and a rock-solid marriage. We’re living the dream. Right?
But how quickly dreams can turn into nightmares. Garret’s job is taking its toll on him, my whole world seems to be in shambles, and now I’ve got to deal with a blast from my past I thought I’d long buried. And that past wants answers—answers I’m not willing to give.
We grab quick and dirty sex when we can, but that just doesn’t seem to be enough and our marriage feels more tested and strained than ever before.
I was sure that I’d found my knight in shining armor, my happily ever after, my forever, but my marriage is being forced to bend more than it should—more than it can. So much so that I’m afraid it might just snap.

A Canadian West Coast baby born and raised, Whitley is married to her high school sweetheart and together they have two beautiful daughters and a fluffy dog. She spends her days making food that gets thrown on the floor, vacuuming Cheerios out from under the couch and making sure that the dog food doesn’t end up in the air conditioner. But when the kids are at school and it’s not quite wine o’clock, Whitley sits down, avoids the pile of laundry on the couch, and writes.

Absolutely wonderful!

I loved this story of Amy and Garrett. It was so easy to relate to. Their characters so down to earth and real. It was almost like you were reading about a friend or family member, so real were their problems and life. I loved that Amy had the same insecurities as a lot of women (not thin enough, pretty enough, young enough etc) and that Garrett still got jealous and possessive after 7 years of marriage as if it was still year one. And the whole "what if" scenario with Dax, who hasn't been down that road! While I love a good, sexy read as much as the next person, even when it seems so far fetched and fantastical at times, it was just so nice to read such an amazing story that could so easily have been about yourself, your sister, brother, cousin, neighbor, co-worker, etc. Another job well done by Whitley Cox in this amazing series. I cannot wait for Book 7!

Love after babies

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2018

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Amy and Garret have been together for a while now and have a baby together. If only people would tell you what having a child together can do to your sex life, but nobody ever tells you. Amy doesn't like some of the changes in her body and their sex life is suffering. When an old flame comes back into Amy's life, and tempts her, will she stay true to her man and figure out where her priorities lie? or will she try to recover her misspent youth?

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2017

I adored Amy and Garrett in the fact that they are a married couple of 7 years and have that 7 year itch. That might sound terrible but true. Their baby has just turned one so their sex life is not what it used to be. They speak to each other but sometimes done hear each other and yes it's a two-way street. Her ex has come back into her life and she's not sure how she feels about it. Her past comes barreling through her marriage and could put everything at risk.
I knowingly went into this book realizing it was a 2 parter. And I am curious him where certain story lines are going. Garret seems so in love with Amy but has she crossed the trust line? And since this is told from her point of view, other than the prologue, youndont get to see what Garrett is thinking. I really can't wait to see where this leads.

After Seven Years Together...

Garrett and Amy have always been a hot and heavy couple. But with a baby now added to the mix, they are finding that life isn’t running quite as smoothly as they’re use to.

I thoroughly enjoyed Truly, Deeply, and Forever and can’t wait for part two to release. I enjoyed Amy’s type of humor so much that I can’t help laughing, especially when her mouth gets involved. I’d definitely recommend this book and this wonderful author.

Fantastic addition to the series

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2018

I just love this series it just keeps getting better and better.A well-written read that pulls you right in I just loved being able to catch up with Amy and Garrett and am glad they got their own story and book.I really liked these two and could relate to what they were going through this is a super read and I would recommend these books to all you will just love them.

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2018

Amy and Garret have been married for seven years and are still deeply in love. The arrival of their one year old son was the happiest moment of their life but it also brought changes to their relationship that they are still adapting to.

The challenges of balancing careers and parenthood is driving a ridge between them which is only increasing when her ex has returned which makes her reflect on what she really wants.

This is a story that most people can relate to as relationships change over time and it is how you adapt to these changes that decide whether your love is strong enough to survive. I can’t wait for the second part of their story. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2018

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is the story of a couple, together for seven years, married for three, parents of a baby. It covers several months of a life, a family, learning to adapt, balancing, work, home, child, spouse and extended family. Garret, an architect, is getting a promotion at work, requiring a buy-in. Amy is back to work part-time at an art gallery. Amy's ex-boyfriend, with who she has some unfinished business comes into her gallery for her to stage a showing. It is a well-written, well-crafted story. It is part 1 of a duet. My only issue was that the cliff-hanger, if you will, is only hinted at and may not even be a plot point.I give it 4.5 stars
