You must read this series!I read all three books in a row and loved them all! Dana does a great job in making you feel with the characters do. I recommend you have a box of tissues handy when you read this book!All three books are about second chances at love, but this one is about a second chance with your first love, the one you can never forget. Seventeen years ago Brian and Melissa were high school sweethearts. When they graduated Melissa moved to New York for college and Brian stayed behind. The next thing Melissa knows is that Brian married her best friend, Julie, without even breaking up with her. Needless to say, she was brokenhearted and had a really hard time moving on. While Brian has been building a life with his wife and kids and building a career as a police detective, Melissa has been away from her hometown trying to build a life for herself. Now Melissa is back and has mended fences with Julie.Tragedy strikes and Julie is killed in a car accident, but not before Brian finds out that she was cheating on him. Brain is devastated and Melissa steps in to help with his kids. What Melissa doesn't know is the reason why Brian married Julie and that he has never been able to forget her. Spending so much time together makes it impossible to deny their feelings for each other. Brian needs to deal with his failed relationship with Julie before he can move on with Melissa, but before he has a chance to do just that, Brian learns that the man who was having an affair with his wife has been sexually harassing his teenage daughter. Brain needs some time allow to process all of this and asks Melissa for a few days alone. Days turn into weeks and Melissa in convinced that Brian's feelings for her weren't real. What she doesn't know is that he does not want to make the same mistakes he made with his wife and wants everything is place before he goes to her again.I don't want to give more away than I already have, but there are many serious issues of sexual harassment and domestic violence in this series of books. I think the author does a great job of portraying what abused women go through and how they can feel that it is all their fault. I love the way she shows that you can overcome it and that their is nothing to be ashamed of.I give it 4.5 stars!I received an complimentary copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
