One name¡ Derek London! Yeah I know you don't know yet, but you soon will. But I¡m going to start at the beginning. I¡m not even sure how I found out about CM Hutton but I'm so glad I did. And I started this series at the beginning with Paradise Taken, and for me it did take a second to get over the cheating thing, not a book I would¡ve normally read but something kept me involved in it. Then the ending happened and I was left there in tears with no more words on the page to read! And I¡m serious totally an ugly cry of epic proportions! So I contacted her and we chatted over the who what and why¡s of the story. I love when Authors will talk to you about their books. So fast forward to Saving Us Cbook 2 and wow, it was really great to see Jake & Kaye get their happily ever after.Now the reason I¡m saying all of this¡ In the background of all of these books was the wife of Jake, the woman that should be pissed and ready to get even, after all she was the one cheated on, her husband and best friend did the unthinkable to her. She had the proverbial knife in her back. But not Claire, she was determined to be an adult through it all, not become the b*itch that she very much had the right to be. She held her head high and did the only thing she knew to do and that was move forward. Teaching everyone that took notice that this was who she was, now don¡t get me wrong she was mad and had her moments of weakness but all in all she kept her head up high. So in Honest Love that¡s basically where we start, Claire and her kids are moving on with their life, they¡ve moved to San Diego and Claire is working and moving on, when she meets a grumpy (not the exactly right word but it get the point across) but HOT guy. Well with a change in the plan she ends up spending more time with Derek than was her intention¡ I can tell you that Honest Love was just that, it was a story of Honest Love for Claire, it was the first time someone was truly loving her, for her and only her. Giving her what she needed, even though I¡m not sure she got that in the first place. Then we have Derek and he is brooding, hot, aggravating and oh so right for Claire. But before any of this takes place Derek has his own demons to face. And has to figure out just what he wants. I think he knows its Claire but again those demons always pop up at the most inopportune times. Just when you think this story is taking a turn for the worst (you¡ll know) I think it takes it¡s best turn yet. Claire begins to figure out that she isn¡t alone at all like I believe she sometimes feels. That she and hers can be loved and accepted by a family that isn¡t even hers yet. I have to tell you I read a s*** ton of books, but this one is different. And what I say by that is that it¡s a grown up love story, I¡m not saying that there isn¡t drama because there is but its personal drama, there isn¡t a lot of teen-angst drama I guess is what I¡m saying. These books are adults going through adult situations and for the most part handling them like adults and that is one of my favorite things about them.Thank you CM Hutton, now that I¡ve read this one, I guess it my time to sit and wait to see what comes next.Oh and I¡ve included the cover picture as I normally do with all my posts but this on is straight off my tablet. I just wanted you to all see that the beauty of it transfers to the screen beautifully! PS Don¡t lick the screen, you don¡t get the same effect. But I¡ll let you know about the paper back! Hahahaha¡Jammie
