We leave the first book with Bridie’s decision hanging in the air about what she will do. Will she tell everyone that the baby she’s carrying is really Cody’s? Will she allow Scott to take care of her and help her raise her baby? Well, the answers are so frustrating. It really is the worst sort of making a decision based on bad information. There are so many secrets and flat out lies that no decision can possibly be completely right. As the reader I found myself seeing things from the outside and totally yelling at my iPad! Not so different really, I seem to do that a lot – HaHa.Book two opens five years after Bridie & Scott got married. Not only do they have a son, but they have another baby girl. Bridie is happy with a husband she has grown to love and two amazing kids. That is until…Scott was sent on assignment and has been captured by the enemy. The events that Scott is forced to watch and actually become part of is not painful exactly but mentally……just torture. He makes it home with the worst form of PTSD I’ve ever read about. His personality goes from one extreme to another. The only person Bridie can get to help her is Cody. She hasn’t seen or spoken to him in five years but he runs to her and helps her. He keeps her safe all while they both fight the feelings that have always been there.They have him committed to try and help him with his PTSD. For a good part of the book it’s all about Cody & Bridie. Them together is so amazing and my favorite part of the book.Then…..Scott gets better and can come home. He wants to come home to Bridie and the kids and after 6 months of playing house with Cody and falling even more in love with him she has to make a decision. They have to make a decision. It is his brother that he does love very much. Events created by Stephanie have brought them to this point. She loves them both – just differently. What will Bridie do? Stay with Cody and make Scott relapse? Go with Scott and try to have a life without Cody? No answer will make everyone happy. The end of this book is-well-amazing just isn’t a big enough word! I cried and at the last page I was smiling and crying at the same time! I am truly loving these books. I really hope there is going to be a book 3!
