Zach Foster has reached hot, book boyfriend status with me!!! Not only is he an alpha male, he is also a major league baseball player, and one of the owners of a national chain of sports bars, for the elite! I absolutely fell in love with Zach from the beginning of the book, and couldn’t put this book down.“I’ve changed a hell of a lot” he said, the muscle in his jaw flexing as his eyes bored into her. “But one thing will never change, I don’t want to see another guy’s hands on you. Period.”“Rennie” works for a foundation that makes dreams come true for sick children. When a letter comes in asking to meet Zach Foster, her world is about to change. Rennie dated Zach, and left him standing at the alter. She ran away the day of their wedding, while pregnant with his baby, and never told him. She went on with her life, thinking that was the best thing for everyone involved, including Zach.Misunderstanding and miscommunication can change lives, and that is exactly what happens in this book. When Zach and Rennie meet again, Zach has no problem letting Rennie know how much he has missed her, and hasn’t moved on. Rennie can’t let go of things she overheard years before, that made her run, and does not want to open her heart again.“Can’t you see how much it hurt me to see you wearing another man’s ring, claiming another man’s last name as your own? It should never have gone down that way. You were mine from the time we were old enough to know what love was. I want you to be mine again.”When Zach finds out that he has a son, the angst and “stomach butterflys” begin!! You don’t realize how many lives you effect with one lie. I absolutely loved this story!!! I could not put this book down, and felt for everyone in this book. There was no “wrong” person in my eyes, and I could understand both sides. I felt for both Rennie and Zach. I understood how both could feel wronged, but yet, hoped they could both move on from their hurt together.“You don’t love someone for as long as you loved me, walk out of his life carrying his baby, and forget he exists.”Being apart makes people change, and it isn’t always a bad thing. You just can’t go back to “the way things were”, when both people have adjusted to their new lives. And sometimes, those changes are never going to be a regret, even if they may hurt the person you love now. Your past is what makes you who you are. You can only accept the differences, and move on with or without each other. This book had me questioning constantly what would happen with Rennie, Zach, and their son, Tyler.“He’d always thought she was pretty amazing, but he couldn’t deny the changes in her made her even more appealing. She was stronger and more determined. She possessed a quiet confidence she’d lacked when she was younger. She knew who she was and what she wanted, but the question he was dying to ask was…did she still want him?”You will not regret reading this book! I didn’t want to put it down, and found myself rushing through chores, just to get back to reading!*received a complimentary copy from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review*
