This story was an irritating read. The main characters, Trey and Sierra, seemed so immature and selfish. Trey focused on himself above all else costing himself his marriage and everything he supposedly held dear. Sierra didn't share her feelings and expected Trey to be able to read her mind to know how she was faring. They lost a child the year prior to their divorce and went their separate ways in dealing with the aftermath. Trey chose a more destructive path, but Sierra brooded over the loss and didn't try to talk to Trey. Of course this was a recipe for drifting apart.Sierra looks for Trey in a bar they sing at occasionally and finds him taking body shots off another woman. She gets furious with him, but he's able to woo her into having sex with him in a dressing room to try making up. She immediately tells him it was a mistake and that she's leaving him regardless of the "amazing" sex they seem to have. Supposedly, they still love each other but can no longer remain together because of the hurt. He handles his hurt by immediately having sex with someone else when Sierra walks out.After the divorce Trey goes into a depression and drinks heavily and sleeps around with many women. His sister contacts Sierra five years after the divorce to ask if she will come back and try talking him out of relying on alcohol so much. She of course agrees to this, and the old feelings that never went away between the two ignite once again. From this point we have a few gratuitous sex scenes between Trey and Sierra. It doesn't seem to bother Sierra too much that she is now engaged to another man. She seems to fall quite easily under Trey's manipulations.The characters then have moments of loving each other, distrusting each other, leaving each other again, coming back together, leaving again, afraid to trust, big surprise pregnancy, telling friends/family off, etc. Sorry for the long run-on sentence, but it was easier to just link it all in there as this is basically the premise of the remainder of the story. I think the big eyeroll moment for me in this story was when Trey told Sierra he never cheated on her during their marriage. Riiiight. Truthfully, I would avoid this book if you happen to dislike stories involving selfish characters who never really come to redemption.
