Summary:
Emi Hennigan could never have predicted her life would be like this. After wasting more than ten years being “just a friend” to her true love, Nate Wilson, Emi feels more than a little regret. Her future was set, though. Nate loved her as much as she loved him, and they were moving forward with a romance that took them both by surprise. They already knew their bad habits, quirks and the subtle nuances of expressions, but the love was all-encompassing and new to them both.
No man could compete, Emi thought, until one night – one evening, one party, one journey, one second alters her course completely.
That night, her brother’s confident best friend, Jack Holland, comes back into her life with a mission: to spend more time with Emi to prove he is the right man for her. A romance with him is the furthest thing from Emi’s mind, though, staying loyal and steadfast to a trusted man that she will always love.
In a year’s time, though, Emi must learn to make changes she’d never before considered after being impacted by unexpected events. While her fragile spirit takes time to heal, Jack slowly finds a comfortable place in her life. Only time will tell if it’s right for Emi – and enough for him.
My Thoughts:
This book had me crying a damn river. The first few chapters were read through tears. Every time I stopped crying I would just cry all over again. Every time that I put the book down to compose my self I was always thinking what was going to happen next. So, I just pushed though the tears as much as I could.
There’s something that happens at the end of the first book that is truly gut-wrenching. I can even imagine going though and I think that’s why I cried like a baby because I haven’t felt anything like that an I hope that never do.
Emi meets Jack and he is Emi’s knight and shining armor. He is there for her when she needed someone. He is such a sweet an lovable guy.
This book is in Emi’s POV and you get to know her a little better and see all the things that she had to face. There were some parts that I was a little upset with Emi because of the things that she had said but with the stuff that she had gone though I guess it’s understand able in a way. Reading how Emi and Jack got together I felt kind of guilty at first because Emi and Nate were soulmates. So, to read Emi with someone else was hard.
I had re read this book because I was in a book funk and I also wanted to have a good cry ya know?
I really love this series which may sound a little odd because I said I cried like baby, but I love books that can make me cry. I think I said that before on a few of my reviews. I have to say this is in my top ten most heartbreaking books that I have read.
