Everyone deserves a second shot at love.Five years ago, my life as I knew it was tragically upended when my wife and unborn son were killed when they were struck by a drunk driver. People often quote that as the years move on, so will my grief. It hasn't. My grief the past five years has been a sickening mix of remorse and guilt, but when I add the idea of moving on into the volatile concoction, the guilt aspect of my grief becomes crippling. Every breath I take without Jorgie feels like I am betraying her. So shouldn't spending even a second without her on my mind make it hard for me to breathe? To me, it should, and it's been that way the past five years. . . until I glanced into a pair of pretty green eyes clouded with mistrust and anguish.For the quickest moment, she made me wish I could go back to the man I was before I lost everything. To know what it felt like to breathe without heaviness sitting on my chest. To smile without guilt. To enjoy the company of a beautiful woman without feeling like I am betraying my wife. I would have given anything to become the man I used to be just for the chance of easing the pain in pretty stranger's eyes. For her to see the man I was before I was broken.My wife's favorite saying was that you can't fight fate. But fate only brings people together; it is your heart that chooses who gets to stay. But can a man without a heart help a stranger heal hers? Or will my grief break her even more? I guess only time will tell.… (plus d'informations)

I have enjoyed this series immensely. As usual the author does an exceptional job at setting a scene, and building the foundation of a story. I loved this story until the last 25%. I was frustrated at how rushed it felt. I wanted more of the where these characters were at during this part of their life and and how they moved forward. It felt glossed over instead of digging into the nitty gritty. The way the book ended left me feeling like it was lacking too. I felt jipped.i had been so invested in these characters that it felt like a disservice.

That being said, this book was still powerful and tackled some pretty heavy topics. I still recommend this book and this series. I love how everyone is all so interconnected while still being completely separate. ( )
