What's left when perfection is gone?
Perfection slipped through Caroline Spencer's fingers. One moment she had it all, and then it was gone. All she has left are her memories, her pain, and her close friends.
And Mason Ryan was not part of her plan--wasn't even on her radar. After all, he was her husband's best friend. But now that her husband is gone, he's the only person who understands her, feels what she feels, and knows her inside and out.
Together, they try to rearrange the shattered pieces of their pain.
Sharing their grief pulls them closer together--closer than either of them want to admit and Mason won't allow himself to fall for his best friend's widow. Ultimately, he's holding the one secret that will destroy Caroline--a secret he cannot even bear himself.
Will they find a way to refresh their lives when the pain of the past won't dissolve?

4 Stars!
Caroline's situation is one that I can relate to. Being married to a police officer is not easy. Though I did not go through the lost that she did, I can understand the worries of my husband coming home safely, as well as the long work hours. It takes a special person to choose that life to begin with, but for her to choose it twice, truly shows her strength.
Mason and Caroline have been best friends since high school. Mason has always been there for her and continues to be there for her through her hard times. When Mason needs Caroline the most, she's right there by his side and never gives up on him.
I liked Mason's personality. Yes, he could be serious when he needed to be, but when it was time to joke around, he knew how to have fun. He also liked giving Caroline a hard time. He never let a chance slip by without teasing her. One of my favorite parts was the cake batter scene that was mixed with the sexual innuendo..
“Why don’t you come try my batter?” He winks. “I’ve heard it’s extra sweet and addicting. Just stick your fingers into the bowl and put your fingers in your mouth. Swirl your tongue around the moist batter. Trust me you’ll get addicted.”
I'm pretty sure Mason can be pretty addicting! Especially in uniform. Everyone likes a man in uniform!
Refresh really did give readers a little of everything. There was love, loss, forgiveness, friendship, laughter, and even some suspense! Towards the end, I wasn't sure what was going to happen. It made me swoon and it also brought me to the edge of my seat! All around a great story.

Excerpt
"Let me add," she says with a smirk, "sex and Mason are like desserts."
"What?" I burst out laughing.
"Now listen to me. Sex and Mason are like desserts. There are many sides of Mason and sex consists of different positions all of this like dessert. You see a dessert case and there's everything from fruit tarts to red velvet cake to brownies."
"I'm getting hungry now, thanks."
"Oh shut up," Tonya laughs and continues with her ridiculous explanation. "These two things go hand in hand. So you can take your time and look at these yummy desserts the way you look at Mason and sex and then when you're ready you'll pick the best most delicious dessert and boom, you and Mason will be having boom boom time."
"I can't even with you." I laugh and wipe my tears from laughing so hard. "You're too much."
"What?" I burst out laughing.

"Dessert equals Mason and sex. Remember, variety and different tastes!"
