Synopsis
Korinne Anders had it all. She had the perfect job, the perfect house, and the perfect husband. When tragedy strikes, her world takes a devastating turn. Six months after losing her husband to a car accident, Korinne vows it to herself never to love again. If she doesn’t allow another man in her heart, then there’s no reason for her to feel the pain of loss. This plan seems to work, but is put to the test when Korinne’s best friend can’t stand to see her suffering any longer.
Korinne’s long-time friend, Jenna Perry, has an idea and it involves helping her friend find the spark of life in her soul no matter what it takes. Korinne didn’t know that Jenna’s plan meant bringing back a past love, a second chance with the man that Korinne had to leave in college, but always kept a place for in her heart.
When Galen Matthews learns of Korinne’s loss and that she’s finally moved back home, he wants nothing more than to be there for her. The love he felt for Korinne years ago has never left him, and now he’s given a second chance to not only mend her heart of her loss, but to also continue the love they shared in the past. Will his love and determination make her strong enough to give fate a second chance, or will her fear of losing another love make her run away?
What will Korinne do when she’s faced with a love so powerful that no matter what she does there’s nowhere to run from it?
This book follows the story of Korinne and Galen as they get a second chance at love. The story starts of quite heart-breaking with Korinne losing her husband and you get to read the last moments that she had with him. This was quite hard to read because although it was only the start of the book, you could feel the pain of Korinne.
Review
Korinne decides that she is finally ready to leave her parents house and return to where she use to live with her late husband, although she is only moving back to the town they lived in not the home that they shared. While there her best friend Jenna turns up and takes her to a party that is thrown by none other than Korinne’s first love and ex-boyfriend Galen.
Galen never seemed to get over Korinne and never stopped loving her even when she got married and moved on with her life. Galen couldn’t seem to do the same, he just used work as his distraction from feeling. Galen and Korinne separated when she moved away for school, but they didn’t seem to forget each other.
We get to feel everything that the main characters in the book are feeling as we read about Korinne trying to move on, while feeling guilty for being happy and loving Galen again. And reading about Galen giving her the space needed to work through what she needs to. It is hard for Galen as he knows that she is his future, and he knows there isn’t much that he can do to help her. She has to work through it alone.
Once Galen and Korinne are together without the guilt and most of the pain, we get to see why they are such an amazing couple together. We get to see why they get the second chance that they both deserve. There is a twist in the story that was hard to read and completely draws you into the way they feel. The sadness, happiness, hurt and joy.
This was a fantastic read and I look forward to reading more from this author. Well done L.P. Dover on a truly heart-warming read.
