This story of love and forgiveness is heart warming. Tragedy brought these six lives together. Love bloomed from between two people that needed it. Two people found their way back to a place of happiness together. One nearly lost his life from a mistake, but succeeded in recovering to make permanent the one person who made his life complete.
Ashley, Jason, Brent , Cassie, Joanna and Donald are thrown together in a horrible situation. It was not an easy place to be in.. Heat nearly burns up the pages with one of these couples.. A great read

Love conquers all
I totally enjoyed this love story. I wasn't like Donald at first because he was all about the money. I the really didn't like Joanna because she was being a bit of a hypocrite. Thankfully, things worked out for everyone. Though their first meeting was not the best, Jason and Ashkey were able to find true love.

Bettye has a way of writing stories that leave you thinking even after you've read the last page. I enjoyed reading this book even though it was not quite what I was expecting. I questioned the choices that were made after the accident. Jason made some questionable choices.

Very Good
As always, Bettye brings it. I never even thought of what could happen if a recovering alcoholic mistakenly got a hold of liquor - what the impact would be . I really enjoyed this book. Thanks, Bettye! Looking forward to your next one!
