I loved this story. Roxanne pulled me right into this story. The emotions she felt pulled at my heartstrings. Roxanne received some really bad news right before her sister’s wedding. She didn’t have time for a meltdown, or to take time out for the grief she felt. For Roxanne was one of her sister’s bridesmaids. She put on a smile, and brave front and tried to act happy. She didn’t want to ruin one of the best days of her sisters life.Greg was her date for her sister’s wedding. She had never met him before. Greg saw through the act, and wanted to make Roxanne happy. He also wanted to get to know her better. I love how the story was slow and sweet. It allowed time for a friendship and trust to build. Greg, and Roxanne seemed to have an instant connection. She trusted Greg with her news, and shared it with him, when she felt she couldn’t turn to anyone else. The romance was very sweet.I loved the culture, and travel in this story. My husband spent a year in Iraq. It was nice read about a family that lived there, and their cultures. It is heart breaking to read what war has done to one country, and how it effects everyone. I knew the heartbreaking stories my husband told me from serving in the Army. His stories didn’t give me a face, they were just stories. Reading this book was almost like I knew the family, and my heart went out to them.
