Review:
I'm finding it extremely difficult to review this book without giving anything away, but let me just say that I found myself crying right along with Kayley.. Every. Single. Time. I HIGHLY recommend this book, but be sure to grab the box of tissues!!
Kayley Carson married her best friend and was about to start a family, until she received a phone call that forever changed her life. Eight month pregnant and now widowed she did not know how to live anymore. The birth of her daughter and her amazing support team of friends and family were the only thing that keep her afloat. A year later, she feared it was happening all over again... Would she ever be able to move on?
Dr. Ben "Yummy" Nichols also had his share of life tragedies. He had sworn off all relationships after getting his heart torn out by his former fiancé. That was until Kayley walked into the hospital... The moment he saw her, he knew he had to make her 'his'.
L.L. Collins did a fantastic job with this book. Within the first page I was completely and utterly hooked. The raw emotion between the characters throughout this entire book grips your heart and squeezes.
Although there is serious heartbreak and devastation in the beginning of the book, there is also such a connection between the two, it was hard to remember it was 'just a book'. The instant connection between Ben and Kayley was great to read, but I was more attached to the relationship between Ben and Kayley's daughter, Alexis. SWOON!
Can they survive the painful memories and insecurities of their past and move forward? Or will it be too great for them to handle?
