SWEAR ON MY LIFE by S.L. Scott

Release Date: December 2

We aren’t temporary, baby.

Warm brown eyes that melted my unsuspecting heart.
A smile that knocked me off my feet.
His touch—raw electricity.
 
I never saw Harbor Westcott coming.
 
I was a small-town girl with big city dreams and more ambition than money to my name. He had everything—money, privilege, and the world at his feet.
 
Opposites in every way, but that didn’t matter. We were lightning in a bottle, and everything felt possible when we were together.
 
Life was perfect.
 
Or so I thought . . .
 
Years later, I’m no more prepared for him than I was the first time. He swears on his life that we are meant to be forever, but I know I can’t survive this man twice.


My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
My review:

“We don’t always get what we want when we want it.  Sometimes we need to follow our destinies instead.”

“I wasn’t special because you noticed me, Harbor.  I was special because I saw through your façade.  I saw you.”

“I’ve disappointed so many people in my life, but I can’t handle disappointing you, Lark”

Oh my, this is one of those books that once you start you want to savor every word slowly and I had to reluctantly put it down when real life interrupted.  It was an intense and emotional second-chance romance.  My heart broke as I read Lark and Harbor’s journey through life.  The differences between their social status, life outlooks, and futures were miles apart, but destiny put them in each other’s path.  Together they completed one another. 
Harbor’s entire family was so down to earth that even though they had money, their hearts were big.  His pain and grief from losing his best friend and cousin weighed him down but Lark gave him peace of mind.  I did not like some of the decisions he made but he made them out of love so Lark could follow her dreams.  It showed his strength, heart of gold, and enormous love for her. 
Lark’s life was not an easy one, but she had a father who loved her and supported her no matter what.  She had her goals and was strong, intelligent, and mature enough to accomplish them.  Her pain from losing Harbor was heartbreaking and I could understand her anger, hurt, and sadness.  However, Harbor’s choice to give up a career in medicine was the best choice for him.  Instead, he followed his passion in life instead of living his life for his cousin’s dream.
This was an amazing book full of emotions and heartbreak.  I loved every minute of it and highly recommend it.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
