This book is one of those rare ones that really pulled at my heart.  I was happy, sad, and even in tears.  My heart just broke for December (aka Ember) and I just wanted her to find her true happiness.Ember had just lost her father who was serving in the Army and she was completely devastated.  When her family around her seemed to be falling apart, she was the one who had to be strong and hold them together.  She was a true hero in this book, just as much as her father was.  Not only was she broken from his death but the people around her caused her even more loss.  I was so mad at everything this poor girl had to endure at one time.Then here comes Josh.  She's crushed on him for many years, but knew the hot and sexy manwhore hockey player would never look at her.  As things progress and they come face to face she finds all those feelings come back full force.  But can she stand another broken heart?Little does she know that he has secrets which could literally destroy her and everything she has worked so hard to get past.  I admire the love they share for each other and I really fell in love with him and how he changed around her.  He became the one man that any woman could fall in love with.After his secrets were revealed and her family was learning to heal and cope, she knew what she wanted but would she risk herself for love?  This book pulled at my emotions and I seemed to be able to feel what she was feeling.  I love how Josh was such a patient and persistent man and I think I fell even harder for him for being such a sweetheart.  I mean, hot, sexy, and oh so tender!!  Who wouldn't want that?I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to more books from this author in the future!!
