Synopsis:
If Grace Johnson knew one thing at all, it was that all men were dirtbags.
All men … except Noah Bennet.

If Noah Bennet knew one thing at all, it was he needed Grace Johnson.
Needed her … desperately.
“My pain was pulling me under … she was my only saving grace.”
Grace is willing to put everything on the line to help bring back the man she is hopelessly in love with. Even if it costs her the future she’s been longing for.
“If finding you means losing a part of me … I’ll do it.”

Review by: Dawn
First off I have to say how big of a fan I am of Kellys work. This book took a turn that I truly never saw coming. But in that turn I feel like if your going to take on a subject matter that big then you really have to give it your all and go into great detail about it. With this I feel like she glazed over it. Over all I was really looking forward to Graces story And it did not disappoint me. This is my 2nd favorite book in the series. It will have your heart hurting in some places and laughing in others. It will also make you want to slap Jeff for a number of reasons but all in all this is a good book.
4 Stars

EXCERPT
Jeff and I rode along for a few minutes in silence. I could hear the river in the distance and I knew we were getting closer.
Jeff walked his horse up to a tree and jumped off. Following his lead, I did the same.
“Don’t worry about them. They’ll just graze on the grass. Follow me; I want to show you something, Noah.”
Doing as he asked, I draped the reins over the horses shoulder and followed Jeff toward the water. There was a giant rock that was set back about fifteen feet from the water. Jeff walked over to it and jumped up on it. It was large enough for at least four men to stand up there.
Figuring he wanted me to follow, I climbed up and stood next to him. The view was amazing.
“Wow,” I whispered as I watched the river meander along its path.
“When I was about your age, I lost my mother, but not like how you lost your mother. Actually, I lost my mother a number of years before that.”
Turning to look at him, I asked, “How did you lose her?”
Jeff continued to look out over the water as it rushed over rocks. “Alcohol. My father left my mother when my sister, Ellie, and I were young. My mother couldn’t handle it and turned to drinking to hide the pain. The problem was, no amount of drinking … or drugs … could numb the pain.”
My head snapped over to Jeff as our eyes met. “No sir, it cannot. I turned to alcohol when my mother’s cancer came back. Spent a number of nights drowning my sorrow in it.”
Not taking his eyes off of me, Jeff asked, “And what made you stop?”
“Grace. Even though we weren’t together at the time, I knew she would have been disappointed in me.”
Letting a small smile play across his lips, Jeff nodded and looked back over the river. “Love will do that. Save you from the deepest depths of sorrow and pain.”
