review 1: This was a cute read about having love, losing it and trying to get over just to come about face. You live, learn and become stronger then you ever thought you would. The author handles serious issues of abuse that not only hurt one but the whole family. You learn to grow as a person, find out little things just aren’t important, sometimes life gets in the way and you have to make hard choice that could make you lose the love you thought was strong.Emogen and Ryan must discover the important things in life, sometimes going the money route isn’t always the best choice. Each of them have love and each will lose it, when a new member is bought into play things get complicated and they are about to lose everything that is important to time. Will their love hold or will the... morey find someone new?At first I didn’t care to much for this story, all they did was fight. Emogen like so many women expect him to read her mind. Don’t do as I say do as I want you to. They spent to much time fighting, as the author writes on the story takes on a new life, you watch Emogen grow, learn and lose only to grow more and find what she truly wants in life.Ryan like most men does what he feels is important for his soon to be family. Only to find out it might be his biggest mistake. He soon learns that communication is the best skill he can learn when dealing with a women. Here you have two people who love but lack communication skills they need to make this relationship last. Then you have the other man who would give anything to call Emogen his. I honestly love Trey and I would have been totally happy with her picking either of these men. Trey is honest, caring and loving, he is one of the good guys. At first I thought this would end in a cliffhanger, I was happy to see it did not. I do hope the man who lost will have his own story. I do look forward to reading the next book up in this series. review 2: The book starts out with 4 stars but I feel like it lost some of the angst as the book went on and that is why I'm only giving it 3.5 stars. I really loved Em and Ryan and I loved how Trey got tossed into the mix. It was the angst with Trey that really made me give it 4 stars. However the angst goes away pretty quickly in the book and that is when the story became another couple going through a really hard time. My heart really broke at some points, and I was in pain with Em and also with Ryan. The author did pull me in with her writing. The story developed well at the start and then I feel like it became rushed at around 75% of the book and details were left out to push the story along. less
