Review:

I just finished this romance book by Stefanie Nice. The book is well-written in a nice flow style. I was able to relate to the protagonist as I had a bad first marriage, and I was in a similar situation. The true love that all people yearn for is out there and one needs to open themselves to what could be, if they have a feeling of “she/he is the one” for them. This book has all the feels of a bad marriage as well as the feels of a new full love. Perfect combination. Five stars.
