This is a wonderful read. These are two people who have painful pasts that have defined how they see themselves. Each feel damaged and unworthy. Jake’s is from his work and Emma’s from losing loved ones and being cast aside from family members when they were grieving. They love each other and belong together though. Jake is a great guy, lost in who he is but wonderful none the less. He gives Emma up out of love for her. He needed to heal himself before he could give himself to her. Emma is a workaholic who changes because of Jakes family. She meets them after she walks out of Jake’s life at a wedding her selfish friend Gaby was the bride of. Gabe was marrying Jake’s cousin. Gaby is a gold digger and not in love. Another story though. Jake’s family is so loving and caring and they take Emma in as their own. Especially Mitch. Mitch whom you will adore. He is Jake’s twin and so sweet. He has attachment issues. But will not settle down for one girl. Liam Jake’s other brother is Emma’s boss and respects and likes her. These three brothers together are hysterical.Jake is so protective and loving of Emma. He anticipates her needs, takes care of her and shows his genuine affection even if confused. It is when he has something happen he didn’t want Emma to see that he withdraws basically from life. He goes off to find himself and become a better man. To heal. When he comes back, Emma is a permanent fixture in his family and they still love one another.Look forward to the next book especially with Mitch’s POV happening. A book of love and support. One the shows you need to heal yourself before you can find peace and happiness with someone. It shows love stands the test of adversity. A wonderful read.
