Hattie's day was all planned her twin brother was getting married to a girl Hattie loved all she had to do was pick up the flowers and go to the church, but when Hattie was just about to pick up the wedding flowers there was a horrible explosion. Hurt and in shock a man came to her rescue and saved her life. Saul was there right when Hattie needed him, but many others weren't as luck. Even through the horrible ordeal Hattie can't help but feel a connection to the handsome stranger but with the wait of living when so many others didn't Hattie can't think past the horrible day. With the wedding postponed Hattie's brother Joe decides to get married the next day. While celebrating their wedding a family friend gets to touchy with Hattie and just when she can't take anymore Saul once again steps in to save her.With Saul right there Hattie can no longer deny the feelings she has for him so the choice of going home alone or going to Saul's house is easy and with only those two options Hattie gladly picks Saul's house. As Saul and Hattie get to know each other better they can't deny that they feel more for each other than a bond over living through a tragedy. Soon Hattie and Saul find themselves falling in love and opening up to each other more than they had to anyone else and finding in each other something they both longed for all their lives. But With this new relationship they will be put through more trials and they will have to stay strong together to move forward so that they can both have they life they so desperately want with each other.This book is chocked full from begging to end. Blythe Santiago did a great job writing about a tradegy and taking us along wight he hero and heroine as they not only find love but also deal with the aftermath of the tragedy. Nothing was swept under the rug and both Hattie and Saul had different things they had to not only learn to deal with but also learn how to live happily when so many others didn't get the chance. Saul was completely devoted to Hattie from the get go and she was it for him, Hattie was inexperienced with love but when she knew Saul was it she didn't second guess his or her love for each other. Mrs. Santiago had me in tears with parts of this book but she also had me enjoying Saul and Hattie getting to know each other and falling in love.I do wish that Saul and Hattie's relationship wasn't so rushed and that the story would have been more spread out so that we could have scene more of their relationships growth and development  but she did a great job of fitting so much into a shorter story. The epilogue was great (yeah yeah everyone knows I love an epilogue) and I love that this was a complete story with a great HEA, and that this story wasn't like so many out there. Blythe did a great job of writing about a subject that I don't think I have ever written about. Mrs. Santiago is a new author that I see a lot of potential in and I will be excited to see the growth she has in this series and in her her books to come. **Thanks you Mrs. Santiago for this copy for my review.
