Plot:
He accidentally kills her husband. They hook up years later. He's a jerk. She falls pregnant. They find out. Other stuff happens. HEA.
What I liked:
- Focus on therapy for working through problems.
What I didn't like:
- The plot. Between the two of them, there is enough guilt to float a boat. I don't see a HEA for them.
- Baby is born early, in NICU, and is sort of an afterthought. They go on with their lives and every now and then pop in to see the baby. I feel like the author needed some reason for them to have to see each other again.
- I don't like the sainted dead first partner trope. Maybe if you do, this will be right up your alley. He's is not really sainted, she just loved him very much and will love him forever.
- He asks her to marry him in the cemetery next to dead husband's grave. The cardinals showing up representing the dead husband and his dead parents was a nice touch. Not. But at least the dead husband gave his blessing right?
“I love you, Ian. I loved you with all of my heart when you were here, and I will love you until the day I take my last breath. And I know you would want me and our kids to be happy. I’ve met someone who loves me and loves our children like they are his own. He protects us and watches over us. He’s already put his life on the line once to save our kids and once to save me. He’s a good man, and I hope you will give me your blessing to bring him into our family, not as a replacement, but as an extension.”
I notice that she didn't mention that he caused the accident to him there. Even without that, she hasn't let go and is obviously not planning to.
- What are you going to tell the kids when they get older?
- Having a close friend of new BF (and eventually you too), someone you see really often, be your therapist? Awkward.
- I read this right before bed time so instead of happy thoughts this is what I went to bed with. No wonder I had horrible dreams.
