I absolutely loved this book!! The author did a great job with the religion aspect.

Some of the dialogue was a bit hard to follow but didn’t ruin the story.

This was a nice addition to the Oceana series as I wanted to know Alice's story. The story was very nicely written and not quite as religious as I thought it would be with both of them being former nuns. Being catholic, it was interesting to read their love story and the trials they went through.

Alice Johns and Bridget Moore were once young nuns that got kicked out of the convent when their forbidden love was discovered. It led them in two completely different paths until they meet again by chance twenty-five years later.
Alice works at the church and still practices her religion, but nobody knows she was once a nun. With her family in Oceana, she thinks that's all there is to life, until Bridge shows back up in her life.

Bridge is now a top sales executive and has more money than she knows what to do with and has never settled down in one place. she doesn't practice religion anymore either. She is always on the move until she was close to burnout and decides to finally slow down. The last person she expects to see again is Alice and the spark still burns.

It was interesting to see them navigate a new relationship while trying to reconcile who they were with who they are now. The author did a good job in telling this story.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 stars

I really loved this concept and these characters. Such a great representation of the LGBTQ+ community. Alice and Bridge were so beautifully written and I was totally invested in their lives!

I did struggle some with some of the dialogue but overall really enjoyed it!

Thank you NetGalley for the arc!!

I was sold on the premise of the book. There is something very intriguing about coping with religion and sexuality. Alice and Bridge are two former nuns reconnecting 25 years after being ousted from the convent. I like that their love was strong enough even after all those years and their reunion was not awkward. Overall a good read!

Alice Johns and Bridget Moore, once young nuns whose forbidden spark led to their separation, reunite after twenty-five years. They quickly realise that their spark stills burn brightly. But are they too different to make things work outside the convent? Alice, leading a quiet life active in her church, keeps her past as a nun secret. . Her chosen family in Oceana completes her world. On the other hand, Bridge, a vibrant sales executive, has expanded her horizons since their separation, distancing herself from both her previous life and religious beliefs. This is the 3rd instalment in the series and it’s an interesting topic. 3.5 stars from me.

I accidentally requested this and then was approved for the arc. It’s about two lesbian nuns who lose contact over time and find themselves again years later.
