Description
Point of Retreat by Colleen Hoover is Book 2 of the Slammed trilogy, continuing the emotional story of Layken Cohen and Will Cooper as their relationship faces an unexpected new test.
Layken and Will have already overcome circumstances that once seemed determined to keep them apart.
Their connection has survived grief, responsibility and the difficult choices that shaped the beginning of their relationship. Now they are trying to build a future together while continuing to care for the younger brothers who depend on them.
Then something from Will's past changes everything.
A revelation forces Layken to question what she believed about their relationship and whether the trust between them is as strong as she thought.
Will knows exactly what he wants – a future with Layken.
Proving that to her, however, will require more than words.
As their relationship is pushed to its limits, both must decide whether the love that brought them together is strong enough to survive doubt, heartbreak and the pressures surrounding their unconventional family.
