What I liked best - the main characters are in their mid 40's. Romance doesn't end in your 30's.

Great.
We met Derek a few books ago when we had Josh’s story (and I. His brothers books) and this continues with Ashley and Derek along with more of what happened in their past.

Ashley was a bittersweet character for me to get to know. As she was in the previous novel with Lexi and Josh. She was Josh's ex wife and she cheated on him. I can't say I felt too connected to the novel because Ashley ended up with Derek, the man she originally cheated on Josh with but everyone eventually needs their own happy ending.

Wow! Derek is just another hottie McCall!! Those boys sure have hearts of gold! 25 years of waiting and watching the love of your life love someone else...heart breaking. He grew into quite the man!! Ashley was a coward as a young woman and despite getting her beautiful children out of her marriage she should have spoken up years ago. Glad she grew up too. I can't wait to read the next book!

4.5 stars I really like Josh, so I didn’t think I would like this story, but this series has me so wrapped up in it, that I couldn’t help but grab it and hope. I just didn’t think I could get over the fact that they cheated with each other during her first marriage. To Read my full review: http://wp.me/p3a6Qw-4H

This book was very emotional. Derek and Ashley's story was so moving. Then you add Nikki and JT's story on top of it at the beginning it is very heart breaking.
