Review
When somone you love dies, your whole world is turned upside down. What ifs are running through your head, but you cannot turn back time. You have to look to the future and be there for your children. It’s hard because you are trying to hide your sadness to protect your children, but on the other hand your children keep you sane and force you forward.
You cherish the memories, but those are the hardest and at the same time the most precious things do deal with.
Suddenly you are devastated by a few revelations you need some time to absorb as well as by feelings your heart says you should follow but your head says to stay away.
When you thought you had it all figured out, you are forced to make a decision and you are caught between the devil and the deep bleu sea …
This book is filled with romance and proves that love is not only for young people. Cupid finds a way to your heart, no matter what age you are.
Somtimes we run from things that we cannot face, but in the end coming clean is the right way to go. It’s not the easiest way, but it’s the best way.
I loved how the author gave her characters the chance to grow and change their lives for the better. I am happy to see that this is the first part in a series, because I don’t want to say goobye yet. 5 stars.
Thank you, Barbara Josselsohn and Bookouture.
