I can't imagine what I would do given what Macy had to face in this one. To first find out that your husband was killed, to get over that loss enough to fall in love and remarry, then to find out that your first husband was still alive.... Not something I ever want to experience, but it makes for a very emotional story. That's for sure.

This is an easy book to get lost in. 400 pages just seemed to fly by. Everything Macy, Wyatt and Finn go through is heart wrenching. It took me no time to connect with the characters and I was right there with them from the very beginning. The story seems so real that when Macy cried I thought I was going to start bawling. The decisions she's forced to make and the turmoil she goes through trying to make them really tugged at me.

The story takes place in Texas, and London does a great job of writing so that you can hear the drawl in what is being said. I felt like I was down in Texas. London leaves a lot of the detail up to the imagination. There was very little descriptions; enough so that you got an idea of what people looked like and where they were but not too much to detract from the story.

I was captivated by this one and read it in two sittings. I found I just didn't want to put it down. I don't know what decision I would have made, but as Macy sifts through her emotions to decide what she wants I understood her logic and why she did what she did. It made me feel like I was making the decision with her.

Touching, sad, happy, romantic, and passionate; an emotional roller coaster worth riding!

I bought this book Thursday night and completed it by Saturday. I didn't want to put it down and kept picking it back up again. I plan to read more from this author. I great impulse buy on my part and well worth my time. The only regret that I have, is that I finished it to fast!

I was hooked from page one, it didn't take chapters to get into. The characters are very likeable and the read goes fast. The story line is almost heart breking. I kept thinking what would i do. This is a book that will stay with you and the story line really could happen. This wasn't mushy romance but a story of decisions on every page. I really liked this book.

I ordered this book based on the great reviews other members gave it. I am so glad that I did. It was wonderful! The author instantly throws you in the middle of the drama and sucks your right in from the start. Once I began reading, I couldn't put it down. This book pulls on your heartstrings and doesn't let go.
