4.5Popular R&B; singer Jill Scott has a song entitled Hate on Me.  The lyrics fit the heroine in this book so perfectly.  Jill Scott lyrics says  "For all the lies that you bought, You can try as you may, Break me down when I say , That it ain't up to you. You Cannot Hate On me Cause my mind is free: Feel my destiny So Shall it Be".When a woman goes through the trials and tribulations that Gabriella went through after her husband threw her out like yesterday's trash she will either self-destruct or becoming a stronger and better woman than she knew she could be. Gabriella was the later.  Matthew, the hero in the book finds Gabriella at her worst and still falls in love with her.  I loved that he looked into her eyes and saw what could be and not her current circumstances. I swooned whenever he entered the scene.  Matthew and Gabriella found each other at the perfect time in their lives and I could not stop rooting for them.The shenanigans at the hands of her estranged husband made me so mad I felt my blood pressure rise.  I loved when she told him "Don't mess with me, I am not the same woman you left a year ago"; you go girl.  The secondary cast of friends and foes were relevant and grounded the story. The character development was rich and added to the range of emotions this book evokes.This is the first book I've read by this author but it won't be my last.  While there were a few pesky typo's the storyline was strong enough to keep me in the story and in the moment.  I can't wait to read more by this author.
