Ms. Whitney captures your heart again in the second book in this series. A beautifully written and crafted love story what will tug at your heart and have you cry. The first book Beside your Heart has you bawling at the beauty of such a story and the bittersweet ending but this book will do more. You will be raptured by the intensity of the emotion and desire that runs among Nicki and Adam. This book picks up where Beside your Heart left off with Adam in the pressroom and Nicki ignoring him. Adam is just as sweet and wonderful in this book as he was the first. A patient man who takes the assignment of White House reporter for the BBC in hopes of seeing Nicki again. His dreams are to have her again. After 16 years he s still in love with her. Now though it’s more complicated since she is the assistant press secretary at the white house, he’s a reporter, his dad is ill and she is seeing someone. Which to me her relationship screams irony because she left Adam high and dry because long distance relationships won’t work she’ll never leave the states and yet she has travelled everywhere and her boyfriend travels constantly as a political consultant. That is the pot calling the kettle black. As she is trying to ignore Adam, Adam is pursuing her. And in a dogged fashion at first he tries to get her to just be friends but as they get closer the emotions get stronger. The cast of characters from the first book are here as well. My favorite is David. He is a hoot and such a ladies man. But no matter what anyone thinks about David he is fiercely loyal to Adam. At times Nicki shows her selfishness and how she is still that scared girl wanting success instead of a woman with confidence and a man who loves her. It’s fine to be career oriented but she goes a little too far at one point. Adam asks her to come see his dad since she would be in London, not a big request after all he was there for her all those years ago and helped her with her sister’s death but Nicki is like no no no and than cannot figure out why he is upset the next time they see each other. HELLO!!! She does do the right thing finally and this catapults their relationship. Such a wonderfully written and beautiful story in which you see Adam support Nicki at every turn and show her love and devotion. A must read and don’t forget the tissues for you will need them for Ms. Whitney does it again and will have you crying at this amazing story.
