Women everywhere desire him. Men want to be him. She’s married to him... and she’s giving him up. Damon and Tara were high school sweethearts and totally in love—at least until fame ripped their family apart. Now Tara thinks the only way to survive is to let Damon go...but he's determined to prove her wrong.
M.E. Montgomery can’t remember a time she hasn’t had at least one book on the go to read. After years of falling headfirst into the lives and loves of other author’s characters, M.E. decided to write her own. She enjoys creating the kind of realistic storybook friends you wish you could actually meet, and sometimes she finds herself wondering what those characters are up to once she’s delivered their happily ever after. She’s married to her best friend and has four children and two Boxer dogs. They live wherever the Navy sends her husband, usually the East coast of the U.S., but also once in Japan. Whenever she’s not writing or substitute teaching, she often ponders the riddle of how the kitchen sink appears to automatically refill with dirty dishes as soon as her back is turned. On the occasions it stays empty, you can find her with a glass of wine or Scotch outside at their fireplace or curled up inside with a book, binge watching TV, or chatting with readers.
I asked for some recommendations on the blog’s facebook page, and this one was suggested. I got it after subscribing to the author’s newsletter. And I actually started it immediately, which is quite unlike me. It’s been a long while since I’ve read a legit romance, so I was more than ready to start one.
The first chapter is awesome. It catches my attention quickly and I loved it. Although I did enjoy the rest of the story, it never quite lived up to my expectations. I do plan on reading more from this author.
A sad tale behind the storyline but also finding your way to happiness again, with the help of loved ones. This was a heartbreakingly sweet romance. I really felt for Tara and Damon. Tara didn't know where to turn in her grief and she shut everyone out, even the man she loved. But he held strong g and took them back to where it all started for them and helped her through a tragic event. He was so strong and sweet to her. I loved it.
A touching, poignant story about movie star, Damon and his wife, Tara who suffer immense heartache due to a tragedy. It is a story of togetherness and going through dark valleys with a loved one, to come out stronger on the other side. Both characters were believable and well developed. I definitely shed some tears. This was a well written story with such heart.
This was an emotional love story. The characters are faced with the challenge of overcoming tragedy but ultimately true love saves them. The hero was great, I loved how he had a strong love for the heroine and never gave up.
This got me right in the feels. It seemed to start off as just a hot story but wham next thing I know I'm crying and hoping these two can make things work.
This is just what I expect from Ms. Montgomery. Perfection.
This book is gut-wrenching, heart-breaking, and not my typical read. While I often enjoy light-hearted, feel good reads, this story struck such a chord with me that I couldn't put it down. While most of the story centred around the main characters healing from a devastating loss, we learn that tragedy can bring them together, and love conquers all.
I think everyone should read this book, and I look forward to reading more from this author.
Please note that I did receive a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
