This is the second book of S. Moose's that I've had the pleasure of reading and in true S. Moose fashion, I was left ugly crying! This book was so amazing!First, let's meet Karly. From the beginning, you can't help but to root for this young lady. She had a very traumatic teenage period. My heart was broken for her. After getting glimpses into her past, we meet the current day Karly. She is graduating college at UNC; her college boyfriend, Neil is now her best friend; and she is starting out with her new life moving in with a friend (Alexis) at Wilmington, North Carolina while applying for teacher positions. With two long term relationships in her past crash and burn, Karly is focusing on moving forward and letting go of her past.Now, let's move onto Nicholas. He has had it rough for the past many years. His wife and mother of his child can't handle the roles of wife and mother and abandons them to pursue her own dreams of being a model. You are drawn to him immediately as well. He is a broken man that has walled off his heart and dedicated his life to his precious little girl. Current day Nicholas is moving back home to North Carolina to be near his family after spending years chasing Jamie and trying to make their marriage work.Now, remember the expression "it's a small world?" It truly is here. The friend, Alexis that Karly moves in with is no other than Nicholas's sister! It so happens that Nicholas and his daughter, Emma are moving in with Alexis while their new house is under construction. And queue sparks....The attraction between Karly and Nicholas is tangible! Both start off resisting one another (of course!!) because of their painful histories with relationships. Eventually the temptation is too strong and WOW! They are amazing together. Karly finally breaks down the walls Nicholas has built around his heart. Nicholas shows Karly how to love and trust again. They are very much a swoon worthy couple!BUT it would not be a S. Moose book if she didn't throw a big ole monkey wrench in the whole thing! She built me up and then tore me apart! I won't give it away because you need to read the book yourself (and nobody likes a big spoiler). I just want to warn you to have your tissues ready! I wasn't given said warning and was ill prepared! There are steamy panty soaking scenes. There are many heart breaking tear jerking scenes. And also some laughs thrown in there! (S....I can sill hear Emma!!)I loved this book. It was well written and kept you on your toes. Now I have to wait 4 long months for the next installment to see where the road takes Karly and Nicholas.
