Zoe Welch didn’t think that she’d quit the army because
she had to go home to take care of her eight-year old sister, Jasmine after her
parents got into a car accident that have taken their lives. Now, at her early
twenties, she travelled from Tokyo all the way back to US to take a whole set
of responsibility she never planned on. She didn’t even know where or how to
begin.
Matt Paladino is her sister’s 3rd grade
teacher who isn’t afraid to take an extra mile for the kids or for the people
he is fighting for at work. He’s handsome, athletic and knows a thing (or trick)
or two about riding horses. They both care about Jasmine, and it’s the reason
that has brought them together.
Both of them have secrets in their past they weren’t
comfortable in sharing. Both have their hearts and trusts broken by other
people – and to once again risk it would be a big task for the both of them.
Will they allow themselves to risk and fall? Or would allow their past to
dictate their future?
Why I love Charles
Sheehan-Miles?
·
He writes the most unexpected things that will
surprise you.
·
He makes it more than just romance, but still has
that sweet, romantic thing going on that can still make you swoon.
·
He writes about social issues that some writers don’t
want to dwell on.
·
He raises awareness to his readers with his
books (entertainment + information = must-read!)
This was more than just another romantic story, this has
more to it. Despite the fact that it’s less action than the Thompson sisters I still
found it great and interesting. With both of their pasts being laid down before
us, we understand what they had went through, what’s going on and why are both
of them reacting that way in the present. Their struggles are real, anyone can
relate to it, especially those at the service, and those who have lost people
they love. There are moments in this book that was beautiful and overwhelming,
it almost brought me to tears.
It’s a story about family. It’s about love. It’s about
losing someone, and finding someone. It’s about grief – accepting and
overcoming it. It’s about facing your fears and being brave enough to face the
inevitable even though you are nowhere ready for it.
Rating: 4 Stars
