HopeEver feel like you’ve lost your way and everything is falling apart?As my husband prepares to leave for a business trip a single, secretive text comes across his phone. I didn’t plan to take a trip down memory lane on the eve of our anniversary. But taking this trip down memory lane leaves me in tears, sharing a story of deceit, lies, …and misunderstandings. The man I gave my heart to ten … gave my heart to ten years ago is being ripped away.
Carter
We lost each other over the past decade.
That’s why I’d tried to push off this trip until after our anniversary. As usual, my career took precedence over what was important… US. Yet, the last thing I expect when the plane lands is a call saying that my wife thinks I’m having an affair. I almost lost her once and promised that would never happen again. Now I’m headed home to claim what’s mine before someone else does.

What a love story this is! Hope tells Autumn about her history with Carter, while he remembers the same history. They went through so much to finally be together. I spent most of the book hating her father for how he acted and what he did to her. And what a snake Felice is – she just wouldn’t leave Carter alone, all the way to the end. Never fear – there’s a terrific happy ending. This is my first book by this author, and it won’t be the last.

Wow! This one sucked me in quickly. All the way to the end. We first meet Hope and Carter in book #1 A Kiss Beneath The Stars. (Hunter’s book) . After reading that I knew I wanted.to know about them. I was NOT disappointed lol. while I can’t say much without giving up the story, I can say that I loved how this was written. It tells the story of how they came to be a couple. From beginning to where they are now. And all of the inbetweens.lol. I always love the inbetweens. The how’s when’s and what always tell you much more about a couple. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
FANTASTIC!
A breathtaking emotionally rollercoaster ride! A heartrendering storyline that kept me on edge to the very end. Engrossing twists and nail-biting suspense with passionate chemistry. An amazing must read!
3 1/2 Stars
I had such high hopes going in to this story because I just love marriage romances! That being said, I hated the way Carter kept allowing Felice to manipulate his relationship with Hope. I didn’t enjoy the past scenes as I felt it took way too long before all the misunderstandings were cleared. In the meanwhile, Carter turns to Felice again and again and has very intimate scenes with her that bothered me. He was so close to having sex with her (a couple times!) even though he wanted Hope back. It was frustrating and he disappointed me as the H in this story.
In the current time he also allows Felice to trick him again. It seemed like thirteen years with Hope didn’t teach him many lessons when it came to being honest with her.
I really liked the blurb and it sounded like Carter was going to make a bunch of grand gestures to let Hope know that she was his one and only forever. That never really happened.
Felice never got what she deserved either. I kept waiting for Hope to finally put her in her place along with Carter for being such a fool but it never happened. Carter’s name on the bottom of her divorce papers serving as Mike’s attorney was supposed to “show her” was disappointedly lame.
I did like that Hope realized that Carter wouldn’t cheat on her (after talking with her friend and sister in law) before he comes back to her, but by that time I was already upset with Carter and his boneheaded behavior.
