I was up into the wee hours of the night a few nights ago finishing this book. I tried to go to sleep, really, I did, but Jake and Linc wouldn't let me!Jacob Miller is 22 years old and a widower. Lincoln McCaw has been recently released from the county jail after spending six months locked away for vehicular manslaughter. They're a very unlikely pair. Jacob loved his wife, Katie, and Lincoln is responsible for her death. It was an accident, sure, but that doesn't change the fact that he's the reason she is no longer breathing. When the two first meet, they don't know who the other is, not really. They know they're attracted to one another and that's about it, but when Jake finds out who Linc really is, he has a hard time equating the hate he feels for the person responsible for the accident that killed his wife and the slowly developing feelings he has for the sweet man he has just met.Then, Jake learns that Linc is being threatened. Someone is sending him hate mail and threatening his family and that someone is probably a person Jake cares about, but in order to make the threats stop, they must first figure out who the perpetrator is.I had no idea until about 70% of the way through the book who was responsible for the threats directed at Lincoln and even then I wasn't entirely sure. The author did an excellent job at keeping me guessing!This was a captivating romance/mystery that left me feeling happy, with a big grin plastered on my face. It's about a mystery that needs to be solved, yes, but it's also about love and forgiveness. And as my daughter reminds me often when she spills her juice on the floor, "sometimes accidents happen," then it's no one's fault really, it's just life.Now, my only question is when I can expect another book out by this author, because I want more!
