I received a copy of this book from Netgalley.When I saw this book on Netgalley I thought it looked really interesting and something I would like to read. I have read one other of this author's books and did a review of it on my other blog. I may have to put that review on here also since I am thoroughly enjoying her books. The other book of Lindsey Brookes I read was Kidnapped Cowboy. So this book just seemed a little different than that one and I thought I would give it a chance.Right off the bat this book caught my attention and knew that it was going to be touching and emotional.Both of the main character's Ellie and Lucas had a ton of baggage with them.I fell in love with Lucas's character right away. It was obvious that Lucas carried the weight of his wife and child's death on his shoulders, and his younger brother . Even though I don't really think he should have felt guilty about anything. Lucas was obviously a loyal and stand up guy. And I fell more in love with him for wanting to step up and take care of his brothers child.I liked Ellie's character I think she was a strong and independent character. Especially since what she went through as a child. But I also think those experiences made her a little jaded and stubborn. And Ellie's stubbornness frustrated me at times in the story.I definitely liked the way this story flowed and how it was written. Lindsey Brookes wrote some real life issues tastefully and in such a way that made the characters emotions so much more real.I would definitely give this book a 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it. I can't wait to read more from Lindsey Brookes.
