~arc provided for honest review~Allie and Ben are set up on a blind date by their two best friends. Allie was more interested in school than boys but when she met Ben that changed. He was handsome, athletic and charming. She felt something for Ben that she had never felt for someone else. Ben too was nearly instantly smitten with her. The pair soon fell in love and married. Time went one, the two struggled with the ups and down of marriage. After the birth of their son Allie yearns for more children but Ben is not interested in having anymore kids. Ben has a closet full of secrets that not even his best friend Jake knows the full extent of. One tragic night Ben gets into a terrible car accident, he asks Jake to take care of his family. Ben knows that Jake has always had an affection for Allie and truthfully Jake probably deserves her more than Ben does. Allie is devastated and full of regrets from the loss of her husband. She doesn't think she can ever love again, but can she?Let me start off with saying, this is a beautiful story of love and second chance. It's amazing how Allie was able to cope with the things that came to light after Ben passed away. I admire Allie's strength and love she had for her husband. Allie was able to forgive someone that hurt her deeply and to move on. Jake was really an amazing friend to Ben, never wanting to step on anyone's toes and sat their patiently, he truly loved Ben and Allie. Just wanting those he loved the most to be happy. Without giving too much away let me just say he was greatly rewarded when it was all said and done. If you enjoy romance I highly recommend this book, it's a beautiful story
