This is a beautiful story about 2nd chances.
Things aren't always what they seem and Reagan knows this better than anyone. She was married to a marine who died in the line of fire. He is now the town hero to everyone except his wife. She knows exactly what sort of man he was & he was no hero. He was an abuser. For years Reagan suffered at his hands and now she is free.
Alex was Reagans husband's best friend. He idolized him so when he asked Alex to look after Reagan if he died, Alex took that very seriously. Now Alex and Reagan are falling in love and Reagan has to find the right time to tell Alex what sort of man his best friend really was.
This is a really sad story. You can't help but feel sorry for Reagan for what she has gone through but you also feel frustrated with her. She has several opportunities to come clean with Alex but she never does.
Alex is lovely but even when all the signs point to Reagan having been abused by her dead husband he just can't accept it for the truth.
This story shows that if your open to it, second chances are always waiting to happen. You can't always control who you love but when that opportunity it presents itself you know it's time to close the door on the past and move towards a future full of happiness and love and embrace it wholeheartedly.
Awesome characters, fantastic storyline and a perfect way to lose yourself in the fantasy of a perfect world with a beautiful but damaged heroine and a super hot alpha military man who wants to be a knight in shinning armour!
Definitely worth checking out!
