This is a beautiful story of love, romance, heartache and learning to love yourself again.This story starts off with Tara leaving a miserable relationship of nearly two years. During that time, her boyfriend was beyond controlling and somewhat verbally abusive to her. Tara loses herself and is no longer the outgoing, self-confident, spunky young woman she once was. She is nearly broken and desperately lonely. Her best friend Kelli is there to help her find herself again and learn how to pick up the pieces and move on.We then meet Riley. Riley is a friend of Kelli’s boyfriend. He is a soldier in the Australian military Special Forces and also has a tumultuous past relationship. Riley is of course handsome and can have his pick of any women, but is instantly attracted to Tara and knows that she is the one that will complete him. With his career taking him to different locations, all he can offer is a long distance romance. Is that enough?How about we throw in a hot singer in a band just to complicate things a bit? Cole is your typical lead singer with all the woman falling all over him and he gladly helps himself to all that they have to offer. He’s cocky, conceded and has the good looks and the body to back it up. He has the life that men would kill for, so why is he suddenly fixated on getting to know Tara?Tara falls hard and fast. She finds herself madly in love with the man of her dreams. However, another man has her feeling things that she knows she shouldn’t. She is determined to follow her heart and not let anyone else get in the way of her happiness.Will she remain faithful to the love that she has found? Or will the excitement she finds with another man find her questioning her future….Well, we don’t find out in this installment. Yes, it’s a cliffhanger. I for one am looking forward to seeing where her heart will find her. The writing was well done. The story had an even flow, kept my attention and had me attached to the characters rather quickly. I even enjoyed all of the supporting characters, especially Cooper! I highly recommend this book to those that love a romance with a bit of angst and lots of soul searching.
