Haley Rhoades’s writing is another bucket-list item coming to fruition, just like meeting Stephen Tyler and skydiving. As she continues to write romance and young adult books, she plans to complete her remaining bucket-list items, including ghost-hunting, storm-chasing, and bungee jumping. She is a Netflix-binging, Converse-wearing, avidly-reading, traveling geek. A team player, Haley thrived as her spouse’s career moved the family of four eight times to three states. One move occurred eleven days after a C-section. Now with two adult sons, Haley copes with her newly emptied nest by writing and spoiling Nala, her Pomsky. A fly on the wall might laugh as she talks aloud to her fur-baby all day long. Haley’s under five-foot, fun-size stature houses a full-size attitude. Her uber-competitiveness in all things entertains, frustrates, and challenges family and friends. Not one to shy away from a dare, she faces the consequences of a lost bet no matter the humiliation. Her fierce loyalty extends from family, to friends, to sports teams. Haley’s guilty pleasures are Lifetime and Hallmark movies. Her other loves include all things peanut butter, Star Wars, mathematics, and travel. Past day jobs vary tremendously from an elementary special-education para-professional, to a YMCA sports director, to a retail store accounting department, and finally a high school mathematics teacher. Haley resides with her husband and fur-baby in the Des Moines area. This Missouri-born girl enjoys the diversity the Midwest offers.

I loved this story of heartbreak and pain, love and fear between Schuyler Dawes and Calvin Calhoun.
Fate takes them on an emotional roaster. Even through all those twists and turns, and even a few loopy-loops that she will take Schuyler and Calvin on – they find out for themselves that they will bend, but never break.
PS: I loved the little tidbit about the characters names. Want to know what that tidbit is….then grab the book and read the trivia section! No spoilers from me!
This was a great book and it shocked me how in depth the emotions were. I felt like I could almost reach out and touch them they were so vivid. Schuyler really has a lot to decide on how she wants Calvin to be a part of her life and it really is easy to see some of the struggles that she deals with. Is his love enough for her to let him in? I am quite looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

I found this to be a really enjoyable read. It does tackle some heavy topics such as Schuyler's hysterectomy as a result of a devastating accident and her subsequent despair at what she initially sees as her inability to have a partner or family in the future. However there is also so much love and joy to be found within the pages of this book. Calvin is such an amazing character, his love, support and knowing that despite the challenges they may face, that Schuyler is worth fighting for.
I enjoyed what the side characters brought to the story, the close friends and family, including Schuyler's three older, overprotective big brothers.
I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series.

Awesome story that I didn't want to end. So glad that Calvin and Schuyler found each other at the right time. Every story don't have to be perfect but I felt sorry for Schuyler for not being able to birth a child of own. However she had so much love inside her to give to children she didn't give birth. Both families were incredible and very close. Now I need to read the other books in the series.
