* I received an ARC of this book for an honest review*This story is real, complicated and emotional. Joey & Will have been married since college and have 2 children together however over the past couple of years their marriage has begun to fall apart. Even though they both realize this neither of them have really made an effort to fix it. Matty (Matt) is Joey’s hot, tattooed  and impulsive best friend and co-worker, he is the one steady rock that she can always count on to be there for her so when things really start to crumble in her marriage it ends up bringing Joey & Matty closer than ever. Will they cross that friendship/lover line or will Joey decide to work on her marriage to keep her family together?I loved this book right from the start and I read it within 24 hours because it was so good I just couldn’t put it down. This book will make you swoon, you will have moments where you just feel like you are on cloud nine and nothing could get better than it is right now and then…. bam the real emotion will hit and you will feel the torment that the characters are going through and you just want to be there for them to help them through the turmoil. I was pretty nervous throughout this whole book because I just wasn’t sure how it was going to end, Carina really kept me guessing until the very end.  To be honest I liked one character right from the start but I did waiver at times because I could see where the stuff that was happening could happen and how that would make you feel in that situation, it was hard and gut wrenching sometimes but man the good times were definitely good and very heart warming. This is Carina’s first book and I can assure you there will be more from her! There has to be, she is a great writer and she is so good at really making you feel the emotion of her characters in the book, you can tell she is very passionate in the way she writes and I will most certainly be reading any other books she puts out. I emailed her while I was reading the book because there were times I needed to vent and she wrote me something about how she feels about her characters that I thought was very good, this is what she had to say:I didn't want to make any of my characters the villain; I wanted readers to make up their own minds, just like they would in real life. It can go either way with Will; is he an ass that takes advantage of Jo's feelings for him, or is he a flawed man that loves his wife and kids and will do anything he can to keep them? You decide. :)Thank you so much Carina Adams for allowing me to read your book for a review I very much enjoyed it and can’t wait to see what happens next. Oh yes there will be another book coming out May 2014 called Honey Whiskey and I for one cannot wait to get my hands on it !!
