Ms. Lavelle does it again with a 5+ rating each book is better than the last. If you have not read her series Moments in Time I recommend you do. Be for warn the author likes to leave you guess as to what her next book will be, truth she leave you to fill in the blanks we the read can only hope for the next book to see where their lives will lead. I do hope this series continues there are so many wonderful characters in her books with lots of places to go and things to do. Ms. Lavelle has a way of spinning the story that makes you want to keep reading. I have not found a book she has written that I do not like she is a wonderful story teller, her writing style is outstanding, easy to follow, her words flow across the pages with you asking for more. Bittersweet Moments has a lot going on but the author never leaves you behind or guessing what happens. You get to see old characters from her other books and see how they are doing, what is new in their life, when reading it is like you are coming home to family you haven’t seen in awhile.In the last book we came to know Melisa we know her husband dies in a fire the same day she lost her unborn child. She could not live life after losing so much she began drinking and gambling and loses everything she owns. Melisa ended up in a shelter trying to overcome her past why giving up her addiction it is one of the hardest things she has ever done. This is where she meets her best friend who put her on the straight road and a new beginning. The one thing besides her lost she could not forget was Heat her one night stand in high school and her husband best friend. Of course all this happen before meeting her husband.This story starts at the homeless shelter where a fire breaks out from Melisa carelessness she is in a room with a bottle of whiskey and a candle which starts the fire. Could this be her giving up and turning back to her old ways? The answer is no she is just reliving old memories and trying to put them behind her. Heat come to the rescue pulls her out of the fire and never leaves her side. She doesn’t know it but Heat never got over their one night stand and has secretly loved her all these years. He dates a lot but none are her and he can’t just keep dragging the women along when there is nothing there, he has kept looking for a woman he can love. When the fire call comes in walks Heat to save the day and low and behold it is Melisa who he can’t forget. He carries Melisa out and will never let her go, Melisa has been holding on to a secret for too many years she is afraid if she tells Heat he will walk away. For their live to go on she must tell him and hope for the best. This is one couple who deserves to find happiness they have waited so many years for this day. So much stands in their way will they ever find happiness? Can they have a happy ending?This story has everything secrets, love, hate, passion, lost love, finding love only to possible lose it again. Dori tells a story of much pain leaving the read always asking for more. You will be cheering for her characters and wanting to slap a few heads. When you get to the end you will feel peace still wondering how things will go. She leaves it up to you to fill in a few blanks. What a wonderful read. I would recommend any story the author writes, and would read anything she puts to type
