*I received an ARC in exchange for my honest reviewThe synopsis for this book completely drew me in when I read it. It sounded exciting, emotional, and angsty. Everything I look for in a story.Brooks, Branch, and Katy grew up together. Not only was Katy the twins neighbor, but also their best friend. When tragedy strikes Katy's family, due to the terrorist attacks of September 11, she moves in with the twins' parents. Along the way, feelings arise. Katy is caught in the middle of these two brothers. After she chooses, it was obvious to me that she chose wrong. She obviously had feelings for the other twin, but due to some manipulation, she ends up staying with the wrong twin.Years pass, and its the night before their wedding. After the twin that was in the military comes back to be the best man, all those feelings that never went away resurfaced. They finally come out with how they felt about each other, which leads to them sleeping together. Katy wakes up the next morning and realizes that there is no way she is going to face the family after what she did, so she flees to another state. I wanted Katy to to stand up and yell from the rooftops her love for him and have enough faith that the family that raised her, would love her no matter what. I wanted her to be strong and brave enough to let all of her feelings be known.At this point in the story, I was loving all the emotions and angst that Jennifer Foor threw at me, but I had a little bit of a problem with the middle of this book. Katy is now living in a small-town. After finding out some huge news, she decide to keep it to herself and not contact anyone from her family. Around this time is when she meets Bobby. As soon as I met Bobby, I knew he was too good to be true; I was right. He was bats*** crazy! More than once I found myself yelling at Katy to get out and leave him, but that doesn't happen. The love of her life is now back in her life, but she's already married to Bobby.I disliked Branch. From the very beginning, I knew he was hiding something and I was right. Brooks I completely loved. He was pretty great; he was there for Katy when she most needed a shoulder to cry on or just someone to be there. He was protective of Katy and completely likeable.Overall, I liked the story. It had a strong beginning and ending, but the pace slowed down in the middle. I loved the angst and drama, and most of all, Brooks!
