Synopsis
Brooke Willis had everything she ever wanted: a happy marriage, volunteer placement at the art gallery, and the promise of starting a family with the man of her dreams.
Saxon Reed had everything he ever thought he needed: a successful career, nice cars, expensive apartment, and more money than he knew what to do with.
After losing her husband Brooke insists on taking over his company to keep his dreams alive. Struggling in an industry she knows nothing about, Brooke turns to Saxon, her husband’s best friend and business partner, for guidance and support. Their mutual grief, and Saxon’s need to look after his best friend’s wife, creates a connection beyond just business.
Can Brooke take over the company and find a new life without saying goodbye to the past? Can Saxon protect and care for Brooke without scaring her away?
What happens when your heart doesn’t listen to your head? When lines are crossed and boundaries are pushed?
“Life goes on, whether you choose to move forward and take a chance in the unknown or stay behind, locked in the past, thinking of what could've been. I don’t want to live in the past anymore. I’m so lonely; there’s nothing for me here.”
Review
Loss, Love, and finding your way….
Everything is pure bliss. A perfect husband, a perfect
marriage, and everything a girl could ever hope for. Until, everything is taken
away from you. Suddenly you’re left
broken and empty. Brooke had it all and after losing her husband she is
struggling and drowning in grief. Determined to keep Nate’s business going she
turns to Nate’s best friend and business partner for guidance.
Saxon was living the life, reaping the rewards of having money.
After the loss of his best friend and business partner, he is determined to
care for Nate’s wife, Brooke and be there for her. Help her with the business
and support her as she grieves her loss. Saxon has always had a soft spot for
Brooke.
Stephanie did a great job of pulling you in from the
beginning and you feel the emotions throughout the story. My heart broke and I
cried right along with Brooke. As she struggled to deal with the loss of the
love of her life she comes to a point where she can no longer take it. Brooke’s
heart was shattered and she breaks down and the emotions that pour through
those pages will grip your heart and have you sobbing and feeling emotionally drained.
I loved Saxon. He was so caring and attentive to Brooke. As
they turned to each other for support, their relationship blossomed so
beautifully. Saxon is definitely swoon worthy. I love a book that tugs at your
heart and Stephanie Smith did and amazing job. Beautifully written and
definitely worth reading.

Excerpt
I
head to the door, still clutching at a piece of peppermint chocolate and trying
to dissolve the large piece in my mouth. Swinging open the door I yell, “What
the hell, bitch?”
Saxon’s
eyes are wide and he has an amused grin on his face. “Well, good morning to you
too.”
My
mouth is hanging open, and I know all the blood has rushed from my face. I’m shocked and not only because Saxon is
here, but because he stands before me in dark wash jeans with a tight black
t-shirt. It has been years since I’ve seen him in anything but a suit or
tuxedo. He looks so much younger dressed casually. Less stressed and almost
more… carefree.
Shaking
those thoughts, I meet his eyes. “I thought you were Rach. What do you want?”
My words come out more harshly than I intended, and Saxon’s smile turns to a
frown, his eyes losing their sparkle.
My
stomach twists and there’s something about him frowning which turns my gut. I
don’t like it. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I’m just surprised to
see you. What’s up?” I ask in a much more friendly tone.
He
looks up at me, nervousness shining in those bright green eyes. “I wanted to
see if I could take you out today?” The confident, cocky Saxon is gone, and I
would’ve never believed this insecure one existed underneath.
He wants to take me
on a date? Hell no.
“Bugger, I’m actually just on my way out,” I
say with fake disappointment.
Saxon
raises his eyebrows at me, and the cocky bastard is back. “Really?” he says as
he looks me up and down. I follow his eyes down to my outfit.
Sometimes
even I can’t believe how stupid I am. I roll my eyes and cross my arms over my
chest in defiance, as I also remember not only am I in my flannel pyjamas but I
don’t have a bra on. He smiles a cocky smile while looking at my chest, clearly
letting me know he caught that also.
