Whats the book about?
What do you do when your soul mate marries your best friend?
If you're Kate Evans, you keep your friend Rachel, bond with her kids, and bury your feelings for her husband. The fact that Shane's in the military and away for long periods helps-but when tragedy strikes, everything changes.
After Rachel, pregnant with her fourth child, dies in a car accident and the baby miraculously survives, Kate upends her entire life to share parenting duties. Then on the first anniversary of Rachel's death, Kate and Shane take comfort in each other in a night that they both soon regret.
Shane's been angry for a year, and now he feels guilty too - for sleeping with his wife's best friend and liking it . . . liking her. Kate's ability to read him like a book may have once sent Shane running, but their lives are forever entwined and they are growing closer.
Now with Shane deployed for seven months, Kate is on her own and struggling with being a single parent. Shane is loving and supportive from thousands of miles away, but his homecoming brings a betrayal Kate never saw coming. So Kate's only choice is to fight for the future she deserves - with or without Shane.
My review of the book?
Kate has always been in love with Shane but now that he's married to her best friend she knows that the only she can do is continue to be aunt Kate to her best friends kids. It's not like it matters much anyway Shane has always hated her. After Rachel dies unexpectedly Kate bonds grows even more with her and Shane's kids, but when Shane treats like hired help Kate is torn between staying to help with the kids or going on her way without them in fear of losing them completely. Shane is morning the loss of his wife and has had it with his wive's best friend always around but he knows he needs her there for the kids as he sets to go on deployment. After she drops a bombshell on him he wonders what more he could dislike her for after all its always been her fault right? Well, he is able to see past his grief and he and Katie work together to be amazing parents to the kids or will he finally push one too many buttons and push Katie away for good?
I usually don't like books that are told in a first person, however in this book the author did a good job at giving a perspective from both main characters. Each chapter was broken up to show Kate's view then Shane's view. I didn't not like Shane at all even in the end, to me he was a huge jerk who had an abusive behavior and it seemed that in his eyes Kate could never do anything right. Kate's no-nonsense attitude just made me love her, at the end of the day you always knew where she stood. While she took a lot of crap from a lot of people in her life she still seemed like a very strong independent woman. I loved all the kids and there personality and how big of a role their little lives played in the book. The story is about loss and family and is a quick read I had a hard time putting it down once the story picked up, the storyline is well put together and keeps you drawn in.
