Wow... I loved it!  Completely loved it!!  I could completely relate to Emmalynne!  Right down to the HUGE purse she carries around!  Every insecurity she has about herself, and when she first meets Grady Finnegan, those insecurities come to the surface.  He's beautiful, and is totally taken with Emmy when he first lays eyes on her.Emmy is a broken woman.. literally.  After spending years in a marriage where her husband treated her horribly, she's widowed in a tragic car accident.  Because of the verbal abuse her husband gave her, she believed all of the bad stuff he called her.  When he passes away, she feels more relief that she doesn't have to endure anymore of the abuse.  She's sad that her son Tucker lost his father, but he wasn't a positive role model for him.Now, she's focusing on him, and her book store Turn The Page. Her world goes completely upside down when she meets Grady while filling in as a drummer for her brother in law's band.  She hasn't shown any interest in the male species since her husband died.  For good reason.  She's scared about getting into another relationship, and letting someone in.  Her trust, when given, is extremely precious.With Grady, he makes her  feel safe and wanted.  Most importantly, he makes her feel loved and desirable. The only problem is, she senses he's keeping something from her.  In fact, she's sure of it.  He keeps sending certain calls to voicemail, and doesn't tell her who the calls are from.Grady wants nothing more then to forget his past.  Things come to a head when Emmy catches him in a comprising position.  He's devastated when she won't give him a chance to explain, and tries everything to get her to listen to him.  When she's brutally attacked outside of her store, he rushes to her side.  He knows who did it, and he wants to kill him.  Being former Special Forces, he's able, but he knows he can't.  He decides to give her time to heal from her wounds and come to her when the timing is right.I thought this story was beautiful in so many ways... as I said, I really related to Emmalynne Morgan.  I've been in her place, wondering what the gorgeous guy sees in me with all my flaws (my HB).  The whole purse thing had me laughing, because I have one... for the same reason she did.  You never know when you're going to need something!  I am also looking for a my phone for about five minutes after I've missed a call, but that's besides the point!  I loved the strength that she never knew she had until she really needed to get through some horrible situations.  Her son, Tucker, I adored!  Again, he reminded me of my own nine year old boy.  Too cool for motherly affection in front of his friends!Grady.... oh Grady.... I really liked him.  He was determined to get Emmalynne.  He knew she was insecure about her weight and her bad leg, but everything she hated, he loved.  He loved her curves, and when he got to know, loved her.  After not being there when she was attacked, he made a promise to himself he would be there if it happened again.
