I've waited with bated breath for this second book to release and I was not disappointed. Soledad Charles may have been devastated by the things her husband did, but she picked up the pieces with grace in her moves and fire in her heart. Not only did she have three daughters to care for and support, she had to find a way to make a living. With best friends Yasmen (Before I Let Go) and Hendrix in her corner, she was able to make a living doing the things she loves. The bumps in her road stemmed from her daughters' reluctance to believe their father did something wrong, her attraction to the very man who discovered her husband's wrongdoing, and her mother-in=law's unwillingness to accept them as they were.

For a long time, Judah Cross's name said with disgust in Soledad's home. His job as a forensic accountant led him to be not well-liked. But there was something about Soledad that drew him to her. From buying her groceries to supporting her money-making endeavors, Judah was the complete opposite of her ex-husband. Judah had his own sons to raise, which he did amicably with his ex-wife and her husband. Both sons had autism. The author depicted the boys and their uniqueness so realistically and relatable. Judah was willing to wait for Soledad to come to terms with her new way of life, to settle in as a single parent, to figure out what she wanted and needed. After all, he's been single since his divorce and didn't believe in casual flings.

I loved how the author didn't throw Judah and Soledad into a relationship right away. They both needed some grieve and heal, time to process how life would be together as a couple with their children. This book was well-written and made me feel so much. I was an emotional wreck while reading but by the time I got to the end, my heart was pieced back together.

I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.
