"Sometimes people come into our live for reasons we may not understand at the time, but that these people end up changing the course of our lives-forever and for the better. And no matter how long they end up staying-whether it's for a long time or a very brief period, these people matter, and that honoring them and what they stood for is the most important work of one's life.


Wow!! This story left me feeling so many different emotions all at the same time! Once I started this book, I was immersed in the story. Jess is living her normal every day life as a wealthy wife and mom of 2. Then one night changes everything turning her life upside down. Now she is struggling and feels like she has nothing to live for anymore. She's throwing everything away while the world around her, including her children, see her deteriorating. Then when she least expects it, Myles comes along and helps her pull herself together and shows her just how much more life she has to live. The struggles that Jess is going through are heartbreaking. Little by little, she finds out the life she was living was not what it seemed. So many secrets come out that have blown her away and now all she can do is be there for her kids.

I loved the relationship between Myles and Jess. Myles was the perfect person to help Jess with her battles and become a better person. The push he constantly gave her to get through her issues and start to enjoy her new life was exactly what she needed. He never stopped giving her his support and comfort when she needed him the most. He saw her at her lowest point, and knew he had to help her bring her life back together and take control. Myles is struggling with his own past that he has not gotten over, and together they help each other become whole.....


"We came together two broken people, and it was our shared brokenness that made that kind of love so rare, and for a little while, it made us whole."


I really enjoyed this story and would recommend it to anyone that likes when two people come into each others lives to pull them out of the darkness they are drowning in. I laughed hard and cried hard, but most of all...I fell in love with this story and all the characters! I am looking forward to reading more by Britney King.
