This book is J.L. Mac's debut novel.I want to start off talking about the characters - I love that Kat had a BFF like Cheyenne and that they have both survived and stuck with each other through some rough times in their lives - everyone needs a BFF to lean on through the thick and thin. Kat's journey to try to find herself again and a HEA was certainly not an easy road. It was interesting to see how she was choosing to overcome her past and try to get things back together again. Kat's husband, Aidan of seven years - well I cannot say that he won me over, even though apparently he had quite the hold over Kat and she had an amazing weakness to his appearance. However, by the end of the book, he was able to redeem himself for me somewhat. Now, that leaves my favorite character of this book....Ben! Ladies, you may have a new book boyfriend......with his wavy brown hair, golden skin, blue-green eyes, with a tall and muscular frame....even though Ben was meant to come off obviously as arrogant and pretty much a jerk at first meeting....I had the feeling that was all a part of his game.....you will have to read the book to find out what won me over about Ben though.......there is definitely some major chemistry between Kat and Ben.....One thing is for sure, J.L. certainly can write one heck of a steamy scene.The beginning of the book was a little slow for me as I kept waiting for something big to happen....but when Ben came into the picture it picked up on some steam for me (literally - LOL). The second half of the book has so many unexpected twists and turns that I did not necessarily see coming. I can't say that I was not a little confused at times though as things happened very quickly and I feel some things were kind of left hanging a bit or feeling like I missed something ....which now after reading it seemed to be intentional as the ending definitely left it open for a second book to come.I originally thought this book was going to be more about Kat picking up the pieces of a failed marriage and her trying to put the pieces back together again, but like I said there were a lot of twist and turns that I did not see coming which definitely gave the book more action and put a different twist on the story.
