I stumbled upon AL Parks a few months ago and boy was I happy. I thoroughly enjoyed her debut novel Strangers and couldn't wait to read more!!The story takes place in Colorado where we have two divorcees Eve and Jake. When they first meet there is an attraction that is noticeable. Eve is not looking for love after her husbands betrayal. Eve basically becomes a shell of her former self not realizing how much she is hurting her kids. We have Jake who has been burnt by his ex wife and spends his time working.This story had a mix of everything which I love romance, humor and some angst. I like how AL Parks takes the time to build the relationship between her characters. You can really feel them falling in love with each other which I enjoy.I have to say there were times I wanted to strangle Eve. I knew she was scared because of what her ex husband did but Jake was completely different then him. She knew how he was falling in love with her but she still pushed him away because of her fears from the past. I understand her fears but felt she needed to take a chance and restart her life. My issue with Jake was how it was all or nothing with him. He knew Eve was fragile and issued an ultimate and when she didn't do things his way he left her 1,2,3.I'm happy to report that they eventually work things out but they have a LONG road ahead of them. I can't wait for the next book since AL Parks as usual left me wanting more!
