3 1/2 starsTwo stories in one.  This wasn't one of my favorite SK novels, but the author still did a good job.  There's never a lack of drama and entertaining characters in these books.Lyrica and RomeThese two spent one hot night together after Lyrica breaks up with her cheating boyfriend. Rome wants to spend more time with her but Lyrica quickly shuts him down and disappears.  They are reunited through mutual friends but both of their egos are too huge and they can barely stand to be in the same room with one another.  As much as they try to hate on each other, there's undeniable physical attraction and before they know it, they're right back where they started- in bed with each other. After that, Rome lays down some ground rules, most importantly the fact that Lyrica now belongs to him.  Rome was a blunt, to the point character that didn't mess around, but he had his hands full with Lyrica because she didn't take anyone's crap either.  These two learned lessons in faith and loyalty and how secrets, even the smallest ones, can destroy relationshipsGavin and TracyGavin and Tracy go way back.  They were in a relationship, but after a short break, he got another woman pregnant, or so he thought. Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, Gavin stepped up to face his responsibilities, but he lost Tracy in the process. They reunited years later and their relationship was rock solid until Gavin's past was literally  tossed into Tracey's arms.  I will admit, Tracy's reaction would have been very similar to mine, but she did a lot of growing up and realized her resentment and anger was misplaced.  She learned how to be a better woman, wife and mother.I did feel that both stories had elements that were too coincidental and could have been explored a little differently to give a more believable result, but other than that, both stories were engaging and dealt with real issues that couples face and the emotional distress of the characters was delivered perfectly.
