This is a beautiful story of betrayal, forgiveness, healing and second chances.This is one of those books that leaves your heart full and happy and I'm so thankful I got the opportunity to read it.Right from the beginning I found myself drawn to Jake and my heart hurt for him having to watch the woman he loved marry his best friend.I'm still not sure how to feel about Ben and the way he betrayed Allie. I'm completely in awe of Allie's strength to be able to forgive him, let alone open her arms wide to welcome the consequence of that betrayal.Back to Jake...sigh. What an amazing friend to be able to sit back and watch your best friend live the life you can only dream about and take it all in such stride. Then to continue to honor that friendship even when an opening came for him to be able to live that life. What a great man to be exactly who and what Allie and Trey needed to help move on. How he only went for his dream when it was clear everyone involved was ready.The ending was perfect in the best of ways. Sometimes people really do get their Happy Ever After...twice.This story was beautifully written. I was heavily invested in each character throughout the book.If you are looking for a story with a reformed bad boy, a fighter, or a billionaire alpha male then this book isn't for you. If you're looking for a good old fashioned love story with a perfect hard working, respectful everyman and a strong female lead then you HAVE to buy this book!!*I received an ARC from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review.
