In the first few chapters we get to know two couples, the two guys are best friends and the two girls are too. They live in the same neighbourhood and are both raising families. Rob and Bree have two children, a successful business and a very happy marriage. Eason & Jessica have a baby daughter, Jess is a stay at home mum and Eason is a talented songwriter still working towards getting his big break. This is a source of contention between Eason & Jess. Well I guess it's official, Aly Martinez is now firmly in my mental "hit-or-miss" author file folder. It's funny because I literally just read Reclaim and freaking loved it. Seriously, that book dead-ass caused me create a shrine to all men named Cam. The two of us could sit outside for hours, talking about nothing, and it filled the massive hole in my chest with new life. As we healed, the secrets and lies of the past smoldered in the ashes, threatening to ignite again.

Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Bree and Eason story. Tragedy strikes when there is a house fire and Bree's husband and Eason's wife, who were also their best friends, die. They have to reluctantly work together to keep their makeshift family healthy and take care of the small children and each other even though they weren't super close before. There are some big secrets revealed, some sweet moments with the kids, some sexy times and some drama...and they get a HEA ending I’d spent so many years trying to build the perfect life with the perfect husband, the perfect kids, and the perfect company. But mastering the perception of perfect isn’t the same as finding genuine happiness.’ I’m terrified that, if we keep screaming into the past, the future is going to be nothing but an echo.” Their relationship is complicated, Bree doesn't like Eason, she doesn't consider him enough for her best friend. There are some stories that will take you to a place where you never thought that you would go…… this was THAT story.There you are,” she said breathlessly. It had been a long time, but it had never—ever—felt like that. How they survived it all was a beautiful story that had me feeling their grief and their triumphs. And all the love… My heart really was pummeled along with theirs making this one of my top reads of the year. A new favourite from a fave author – I want to give it ALL the stars! ~Diane, 5++ stars Take these two couples - Rob & Bree are best friends and neighbours of Eason & Jessica maxwell. Their kids play together,while adults socialise. Their lives seemingly picture perfect at first glance.

Right from the beginning I could tell Eason would do anything for his family and friends but since life had thrown some bumps his way that prevented him truly giving everything, he promised Jessica his wife one thing was for sure, that he kept trying! It’s important to mention that as Bree and Eason finally find themselves starting to heal from the fire and Rob and Jessica’s deaths. *SPOILER INCOMING* They find proof that Rob and Jessica were months deep into a very illicit, sexual affair. Eason lashes out, both are thwarted into feelings of anger following months of grief and sadness. Both Jessica and Rob were NOT who thought they were.
