"No baby it's the other way around. You took a chance on me even though I built so many wall around my heart.  You tore them down.  Sometimes we don't have a choice when it comes to love.  Love chooses for us.  Once love finds us our soul mate it's now up to us to keep the love alive so it doesn't die."We meet Karly just as she is getting out of college and moving in with her best friend Alexis.  Karly is getting ready to start the next chapter in her life and hoping that she will be able to find the happiness that she longs for so desperately.  The only problem is that she has been let down and hurt so many times by the people who should stand by and protect her the most.  No matter what though Karly shines bright and stands tall as a survivor.After four long years of trying to make a family for is little girl Emma with his ex-wife Jamie, Nicholas has finally decided to move back to North Carolina where his family is.  Jamie has continued to place her focus on her modeling career while Nicholas has worked to be everything to their daughter.  When he arrives back home he has forgotten that his sister Alexis has a new roommate, but the one thing he didn't expect was for her to grab a hold of him and not let him go emotionally.This is one of those books that will make you stop and think about how good your life is and how hard others have or have had it.  Not only did Karly have a rough life growing up, but she is dealt a few other hands that have been less than stellar as well.  The thing is that she refuses to let them win.  What she did not expect was to find herself drawn to her best friends brother.The way that S. Moose writes this book will keep your emotions on a roller coaster.  The emotions that she wrote into this story were fantastic.  I felt as if I was walking right beside Karly through the whole book living each moment with her, which it what makes this book so good.  I was so happy for her as the book progressed because it looked as if life was finally on her side, but then the unimaginable happens and you are left with yourself going NO, NO, NO!!!!  The twist  that the book will leave you begging for more, which is really my only complaint about this story.  I am one that is not for cliffhangers, and boy does this one leave you hanging on the edge, but I will say that I have marked my calendar for the release of book 2 of this series.  The raw emotion that is in this book for each and everyone of the characters is amazing and you find yourself really hoping and seeing a future for each couple.  This family is so down to earth, accepting, and overall the epitome of true southern hospitality.  I guess in a way it kind of made me think of my own parents and siblings and how much I love them and what it is like for me living so far away from them.Again I fell in love with this book... I could keep going on and on about it, but I don't want to throw to much more out there for the fear of spoiling it for you... but take my word for it... read it, you will be glad you did.
